Welcome. How do you do? New Adventure? Thank You


Hello.

I greet you because maybe you've never heard of me or maybe we've known each other for years, either way I find it appropriate to be polite.

As you can assume by my not so clever title to this blog that I am an Ohio Boy recently relocated to Los Angeles. Maybe you didn't pick up on the recently part since that is not mentioned in the title. My move is so recent that I have yet to find a permanent address. It has only been 3 days and hotels though expensive have been good to me. Hotel over crashing at a friend's house seemed to be the best option. It allows a certain flexibility, wake up late or early, come home with the same options. No invasion of space. Invasion of space is quite important in certain area of the home like the bedroom, bathroom, and couch. I choose to leave the awkward moments alone. Unfortunately Jennifer Anniston's residence was not available.

Anyway, I'm here and I've always wanted to be here. Since I was 12 or something like that. Maybe 11 or 13, but then again something like that. I've always wanted to be here because of the same reasons everyone else wants to be here. It may not be original but it is my dream. I've wanted to write or be behind a camera, on stage or making something from nothing for the entertainment of people. Since I was a boy I've wanted to entertain in my own way. I studied film in college and write little rumbling in my off time, play mediocre (that's being kind) guitar and I am trying to learn the vast of art and philosophy of becoming a Dj. Wild isn't it?

Who knows? Maybe I can land a commercial deal since I've been told over the past decade that I look like the Verizon "Can you hear me now?" guy, the UPS white board fella, and as of recently the State Farm Insurance dude.

I don't know. I choose to live my life the way I always do with complete optimism and fear. Optimism because I am pretty open minded about things and fear because paranoia takes over. Will I become the next Rudolph Valentino? Except for an early death at 31, I'd hope so. That doesn't mean death at 33 is acceptable or anything like that. I don't know what it takes to be big or cool. It seems these days it takes luck, connections, hard work and being at the right places at the right time as well as magic to make it anywhere in life, especially Hollywood. I don't know, maybe I'll give myself a movie star name, grow awkward facial hair and have a persona that is captivating yet disgusting and then I'll be HUGE ! Or maybe I'll just be me and see where the cards fall.

till then, I'll write an update here and there about an adventure I care to share for those who have believed in me, those who sadly want to live vicariously through me and those who doubted me for all the years. Till then, best wishes.

  3. ~ I had a dream last night. I dreamt I was a dove flying over the sea. And then I dove into the ocean... And I swam with the dolphins. I was two animals joined as one... ...which meant - good things are coming. Good things.~
