Guardrail breach at the humor precipice
November 27, 2007I have been abusing my blog and not adding changes in my life like I’ve wanted to, so I decided to go ahead and write another entry.
I’m half way through my performances of “Mister Roberts” and they are doing pretty good. Semi-decent houses, but I wasn’t expecting it to be a hit. It’s kind of nice to do a serious part, but it’s definately a challenge when almost all of my other parts have been comedic. All in all, it’s kind of nice to do a 6-week run. It helps me tune and understand my craft as an actor.
I’ve also finally found a place of employment. Best Buy. Not exactly my first choice and it’s not the most satisfying or fun job, but it’s better than not getting any money at all. I need to save alot before next summer when I move. Every time I start a job, I just think about a conversation I had with my brother about just dropping everything in life and drive around the country without any reservation. Jobs just always make me think about how much of your life you waste doing relatively meaningless work in the scope of things.
Jesus…soon I’ll start quote Emerson…enough of this.
Anyway, there’s my update.
I’m considering dropping everything and driving around the country too.
“I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the Stern Fact, the Sad Self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from.”
I got a motorcycle. We could head down to South America and back up through Central America. Take a tour of another world and see the sights of a ghost life. Then we could become guerilla revolutionaries. We’ll fight against the modern man’s hustle in black barrettes. Only to be assassinated by the CIA.
Work sucks. Keep your head up.
