I donno why this is titled this way. I decided it sounded cool after thinking, what describes my first Blog?
Well, here ya go. My mostly asleep little body and mind is shutting off and that's the title.
Why am I so sleepy you may ask?
Well, I shall tell you.
Here in LA, I work a lot. I keep busy. And it feels fuckin' BOMB.
Speaking of bomb, the world was supposed to end today. And it didn't. That's pretty cool. I like the world.
Let's talk of my day, shall we? Alright, fa sho.
I woke up to a cold ass room, threw on my robe and didn't drink any coffee. This is definitely a strange occurrence here in my little dwellings. Hit up my box of cereal and got ready to say what up to the world. I was on a mission. A mission to go to my friend Chloe's house.
Let's get sidetracked for a minute here.
Chloe is my new friend here in LA. She's freaking AWESOME, and if she reads this then hey. Dude. You're super amazing and you know it. Chloe and I met on the set of the Wonder Woman Pilot, where we were both playing members of the press. We sat close to each other and I helped her escape from some creepers who were using some Star Wars 'force' shit to convince her she needed to date them. She has a little English accent, and moved here to LA with her sister 2 months before I did. We are both pursuing acting, working our asses off to get out there in the industry, and are pretty lucky to have found each other. Basically.
So I was going to her house over in West Hollywood, which from my house is about a 40 minute drive. The traffic here is pretty lame, but it doesn't really affect me too much. The freeways aren't what's bad. Stupid Santa Monica Blvd is probably the most annoying street ever. Avoid it, I guess is my advice.
I picked her up to help me look for parking (as there is none and I'm super lame) and kicked it for a while.
Then this girl busts out a super awesome idea. "Hey, you want to be SAG right?"
Ok.
Let's get sidetracked again.
YES. Every actor who wants to be legitimate wants to be a member of the Screen Actors Guild. But it's really hard to get into. It could take years for an actor to become SAG, and there's all these crazy catch 22 type things that go along with it. You have to receive vouchers from getting a role in a SAG affliated movie or a number of other impossible ways. So basically, you want it. But you know it'll be a struggle to get it.
"Yes I want to be SAG." Well- Chloe tells me of a sort of loophole. There's a way to make your own movie, put it up on YouTube, have it SAG affiliated, and you can give yourself a voucher. That's the short version of it. But now we have this option that we can take, and make ourselves fully LEGIT.
SOOO EXCITED!
Then we went to an acting class together. It turned out to be quantum physics type stuff, which I'm fully into, but was definitely not what I was thinking it was going to be.
After the class, and after having Chloe tell me I should just read this other book instead of taking $500 classes from these random people- I took off down the I-5 South, and into my Starbucks. It was a slow night, the first slow night I've experienced since moving to LA. I guess no one cares about Starbucks when they think it's the end of the world.
