What's on the Agenda?

What's Next on the Agenda? I really don't know... Lately it has been nothing but working on sets, getting my manuscripts as perfect as possible like an "OCD MAD MAN," becoming a GYM RAT, working with my friends from "The Bungalow 118," and preparing for what I know is coming soon. But I have to say, AS SAD AS IT SOUNDS, one major part of my life that I have missed these past few weeks is writing. My Mental Blocks, in writing my poetry, don't scare me, because the need always comes back. Especially when the LOVE LIFE is at it's HIGH, but since I made a decision to stay away "I CAN"T BLAME ANYONE." But the real moments are just writing here. Showing a day to day of what is going on. These blogs to me, are like DOC SERIES in the written world. Sometimes my BLOGS are about a simply concept connected to present day, while others, like this one, are just about LIFE....

So far I have been able to meet some wonderful new people, and be within arms length of some of the BIGGEST LEGENDS in film and Television. I am proud to say, I have probably learned the most in these past 3 months about my career, then I ever had. Simply by not taking my opportunities for granted, by observing these millionaires at work, and by not being afraid to ask a couple questions here and there. I discovered that even at the top, these CELEBS have different work ethics, some more stronger then others, and different issues that becomes priority NUMERO UNO -depending on how big of a fan base they take on. I have always understood that WORLDWIDE ENTERTAINERS are just people, but my opinion is changing. I completely agree that we are all the same, and we all go through problems rather it is in business or in our personal lives, but "MAN IT COMPLETELY SUCKS" what they have to endure. I mean look at it, when we mess up the rest of the world doesn't really care or by that matter know that we exist. On the other hand, when the professionals are in the NAKED EYE of the paparazzi, every move is captured. I hear time and time again how most people see it. YES, they chose to be at this position, and YES most of the time FREE PUBLICITY RATHER GOOD OR BAD IS STILL THE BEST PUBLICITY, but come on. I was on set the other day, and I saw a crowd of these PAPARAZZI just hoping that one of these guys slip up. SCREAMING for one of the actors to trip or just lose it on set, by provoking them. I get everyone has to make a living, but it still doesn't make the actions anymore right.

I WISH SOMEONE WOULD CREATE A SHOW WHERE THE PAPARAZZI WERE THE ONES BEING CHASED. I have seen segments leaning towards this direction, but if the CELEBS. turn the tables I think the sky could be the LIMIT>>>>>OR THE END OF REALITY T.V.- but hey, in both scenarios I think the world would be a better place....I miss Old Hollywood when individuals were famous because of the work they created. It was a time when people who were on top deserved to be on top. Finally, I think the world is slowly coming back to that. And by all means, some reality shows are great. The ones that actually help people, like the biggie "Extreme Home Make Over" which works in my moms building, but some shows should be KILLED OFF. (lol) Seriously. I mean Heidi, REALLY????????????? I hear how most of my friends who work in productions, like these, HATE IT. The only reason why they allow themselves to be part of shows like this is because that is where the money is. And the ones that don't are either at the TOP WITH NOTHING TO FEAR, RETIRED, HAVE ENOUGH ENDORSEMENTS to last them a life time, or at the more REALISTIC LEVEL OF BEING JOBLESS.....But until people start making the simple choice of TURNING THE CHANNEL- real actors are not going to be given the opportunities they deserve, and less and less of the INDUSTRY is going to be taken SERIOUSLY....So come on, lets bring back the FRED ASTAIRES, the CHARLIE CHAPLINS, the MARLON BRANDOS, the AVA GARDNERS, and the JUDY GARLANDS. And while we are at it, lets allow everyone who is gay to be openly gay and finally let Bollywood settle in. Times are changing, so LET IT ALL HANG OUT!!!!.....
