Aimless keystrokes amist the information super highway

Alot has changed since the last time I've blogged.  Got rid of a roommate and gained a good roommate.  I just finished my last class at Central Michigan University, Great I'm tired of spending my free time reading and taking online tests & labs....needless to say I was bored most of the time but at least flipping a page on my ipad makes it a little better.... 
       I'm also done with Starbucks and am now working at a super nice restaurant....upgrade.   Only working 4 days a week...which is due able it gives me more free time to start auditioning.  I quit working out during my online class, but am back on the horse and my second week into running I noticed a dirty old man....not his language...just in general he was an old man who was dirty sleeping. OR PRETENDING TO SLEEP, I spot him stumble up as I'm running towards this guy.  Our eyes were locked onto each other, trying to figure out which side of the side walk he was going to stick to.  I was confused, as I noticed this dirty old man is deliberately trying to get in my way.  So I slow down to try and out wit  and quickly get away from this drunken dirty old man, but as I get closer I start to think I should have made a bigger circle around this guy, as I pass him he pulls back his fist and punches me in the chest.  It didn't stop my run tho because it was a really weak punch,  maybe this dirty old man gets his jollies from gently punching runners....anywho the moral of the story is to chase your dreams just like the dirty old man,  one day he was like..."man I would love to sleep on the sidewalk and gently punch running pedestrians."

Experience necessary

Would you rather fart your way to the moon....or burp your way across the sea?  These are the questions you are suppose to be asking yourself.  Things are going good, getting my headshots done soon from www.barryking.com  also hoping to go the painting exhibit that I modeled for (www.wolfgangbauerart.com)  However none of my stuff is on his site.  Today a woman asked me after I spent some time talking to a crazy person at work, if I had thought that the person was on drugs.....can't a person just be crazy.....that shit happens you know.  But anyway I met a crazy guy who moved here to get famous....doesn't really sound too far off from my story, maybe I'm the crazy one.
       Hand power....you know... at first I thought that this was some crazy power that one obtained from seeing other people do it.  People who use it I have thought were invincible, I mean its pretty bold to step out infront of a Range Rover with your hand out assuming its going to stop.  Of course this is all news to be, because yesterday as I was driving, I saw a guy being loaded into an ambulance  on the street and could feel it in my bone that somewhere down the line hand power must fail and the person driving the car is just thinking, "Who does this guy think he is, fuck it I'm gonna hit him."  So a note to all you hand power users out there it doesn't always work.

Keep your nose clean, and your pits trim,

I miss those Brighton kids

    Tomorrow is the day Jeremy leaves for Michigan.  Having my best friend leave California to back home really makes me notice how far away I am from home, also really makes me miss home :(  Have you seen the graduate where in the first scene you see Dustin Hoffman looking into the aquarium and there is an alienation feeling.  That's how I feel having Jeremy leave,  its weird heading in a direction where you don't know where your going to end up.  It sure would be nice to see my family if only Michigan were closer. 
    I could use an inspirational dream quote and I think you could too so here it is.
    "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."

And then there were 2...

Another stretch of time has passed since the last time blogged. A few things have changed such as Jeremy has decided to leave our story in Los Angeles to move back home and go back to school in the fall. It's good for him but it sucks Marc and I now have to find another roommate. Thank God we found one and met with him last week he seems pretty cool and is an actor so that can only help us out his name is Austin.
It's weird having Jeremy leave like he is but props go out to him for having the balls to go more in debt and go back to school.
So yet another chapter starts with a new roommate for Marc and I.
Looks like this book is gonna be full of chapters

This year was nothing short of fast pace and filled with quick decisions wether right or wrong.

         Welcome to the end of 2010, alot has happened for me this year.  I have lived in four different locations in three different states.  The first half of the year was spent studying my hardest classes yet, after classes had ended the second half of my year was looking good,  I headed to Arizona with Mr. Fent worked for a few months came back this time to my home in Clare.  Had a great time with my friends while I was back and then moved here to Hollywood.  This year was nothing short of fast pace and filled with quick decisions wether right or wrong.   A fast pace year has really made me realize that it is your real friends are who you can always talk to at all times of the night and are normally always up for you.  This year has also emphasized how important my family really is, nice to know some people won't give up on me!
Happy New Years

I had a good Christmas out here! I had gone with Jeremy and Marc to Marc's Aunts for brunch. It didn't really feel like Christmas at all. I skyped with my family which was really nice. Not much is too new for me, I have been working alot more making coffee so I shouldn't be having money troubles so that's awesome.
I've gotten alot of advice out here with how to "get started" it's funny that so many people feel the need to share...for instance today it felt like these guys were like telling me things I had to do..I do like advice but
sometimes people who are giving me advice I think are talking just to hear themselves talk...now I sound like an asshole. But I do welcome advice by I like to know why my source is credible.

Can I bum a cig/worst day in West Hollywood

Today was my first day at Starbuckz now that I'm offically a barista...so now I get tips! It has been raining for along time now...days. So when I went to work I was looking for a spot and couldn't find one so I parked in the 2 hr parking untill 7 when your car gets taking way by the traffic police. It was raining real had when I went to work. I had to drive through some deep water. So I forget to set my watch for two hours so I could move my car because I was more worried about not getting wet so I ran in. When I got out of work I walked down the road which I parked and am like where is my car. And it suddenly hit me...my car got towed! :( Knowing where your car is at certain times is something that I have learned is a must...especially for a poor kid. So I looked up at a sign where I lost my car and called the number and discovered that it is going to cost me $200 to get it back...but wait so after the first 24 hours it goes up...So I don't have $200 I had to call my dad at 1am to tell him I needed cash...again. I thought my Dad was gonna be much more pissed than he was...I don't know what I would do without the loving family I have! And then after that I called Jeremy so I could get a ride home. Then called my brother Ryan to vent, I'm glad that my bro doubles as a best friend. Sorry this blog was more of a vent than it was funny!
Can I bum a cig?
