INSIDE THE COMPLEX MIND OF A COMPLICATED ACTOR.

Resonewtion.

2015-01-15T01:58:00.001-08:00

First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! This is the year of renewal. The year of success and adventure. A lot of times people are very stressed as the new year comes around cause they feel like they are still playing catch-up. I am not excluded. Every January I get excited knowing that tax season is upon us, and i'll get that extra relief that will hopefully help me propel to the next level. But then I spend it and look forward to next year. But this year is so different. No resolutions. Just a few goals and a plan. Keep it simple is the new motto. Not overexending yourself to the point that all your plans fail and your back at square one. I got three goals.

1. Buy a car.

I'm from Chicago. Coming from a place with mass transit can sometime keep you from ever trying to buy a car and even getting a license. I do not have both. But as times change, so shall I.

2. Sell a film script.

I usually keep my scripts and work hidden. But in this changing time and advancement in entertainment, its time for me to give my two cents in this business. And so I shall.

3. Get my first national tv commercial.

I have been in a few commercials but nothing that you probably have seen. But I have envisioned my acting career and though a lot of people have been in a commercial, I will use the platform to further more behind the scenes areas of my acting career.

So there it is. Those are my goals. Now a plan is a little more detailed in information for you to reach your goals but as long as you keep it simple and work on achieving such goals. You will never be bored and your ambition shall grow as a result. There is always a chance of failing; and for that reason a lot of us decide to keep it safe and do not work toward their passion. I will not falter in my ambition fore I have been to the bottom morr than once and as I sit and watch television or interviews the only thing I can think about is when it will be my turn. So, go forth my people. And write out your goals. Make yourself a plan. And work toward success and let failure know that though we know you are present, you will not stop me from achieving the opposite. Till next time...Make it count or don't do it at all.

Positive or Not to Be Positive.

2014-01-21T03:25:00.000-08:00

Interesting enough, the majority of people who work all the time, pay bills and raise kids, are depressed and negative all day. People who are lazy and don't do anything, but get high, drunk, or watch Tv are positive or atleast happy. But why is that? Why are the hard working bees, sadder than the rest. It's because there is usually something missing or they believe that their life is destined to be mundane and the same for a lifetime. But have you ever seen someone that one day decides they are gonna put one foot forward and demand to be taken seriously, and to get things done to one day have a better life? They find whats missing in their existence. Joy! You have to overcome this overwhelming burden of stress. It kills slowly, that's why it is considered a disease. You must dismiss the things in your life that make you react in a fashion that can lower your health, and find what makes you happy. Now I'm not saying quit your job and throw your kids out, but if you find a hobby, or follow your dreams, or find someone to talk to, you may actually start seeing the world in a more positive light, and a better outcome can arise. Everyone goes through things, and I myself find it hard to not be upset or frustrated sometimes. But I am also determined to find that inner peace and tranquility that everyone yearns for. Everyday I am looking to push more positive thoughts into my head, saying positive things about myself, and know that although I have no control over some things in life, I will continue to push forward and find a way. In the hit film "Star Wars" Yoda says "Do or Do Not, There Is No Try." which means either get it done or don't. But don't look for a good outcome and do nothing to inhibit a positive response. Yes somethings just don't work out and somethings just are not meant to be. But doing something no matter if you fail is a much better way to go about things instead of just giving up or living the mundane life you hate. If things go wrong or has not happen the way you planned, keep it moving. Obviously it is not your time or maybe you need a new approach. Anything is possible, and your imagination is still in your mind somewhere, use it.

Tough to walk away from a fight.
My pride is to strong and I have one hell of a right.
My glare is mean and step is live.
My pulse is slow and mind is wise.
I have knock down quite a few in my day, so i'm afraid I fear not.
No tingle in my spine or sweat blocking my site, for I am the one who is giving the fright.
A swing and a miss, my stealth is like the blind during the night.
My pounce back is accurate enough to shake one from his sight.
So when the next contender in my life tried to test my waters,
I stepped up quick like court was in order.
He tried to say I was no match for his kind.
That made me growl I'm gonna whip your behind.
I clinched my fist and aimed for his skull.
The next thing I heard was a ringing of a bell.
I awoke with a headache, as the spectators hovered around.
Two of them gently pulled me off of the ground.
What happened I spoke, was I hit by a car.
No Old Man You Was Just Whupped In A Bar.
I look in the Mirror Behind The Bartender.
My Eye was Black and Hair Was Gray.
I guess my time is over.
Someone pass me my cane.

Pipe Dreams!!!

2012-01-22T21:57:00.000-08:00

I'm looking for a way out, it's dark with a foul stench. I can't keep my composure, My breath feels like it is stuck in my throat and i'm on the verge of suffocating. I stand still, put my head down and my hands upon them an eventually calm myself, thinking of all the good things in my life, be it something that I take for granted everyday or something that hardly happens to me, so I pack it in my memory banks for my lifetime. I Swallowed the cold hard lump of fear and worry in my throat and continued down the path, desperately searching for my way out of this nightmare! Trapped! Only one way out and praying to the heaven's above I find it.

I almost gave up on several occasions and just wanted to let my life waste away right where I stand. But my passion for life, The woman I love, my dreams and ambitions and knowing in my heart that I could not just let my feelings of desperation and fear to stop the train of success of mine and others future. It was not just about me, it was more than me. I wasn't on the path of success for just myself. I was shaken out of my thoughts by a small dim white light about 100 feet ahead of me. My heart started to beat faster and with new found zest for life. A small smile crept toward the corners of my parched lips and the sweat upon my brow intensified as my legs moved with vigor. The light got brighter and larger in size. Thoughts of what I would do to change the outcome of my life raced inside of my aching head and feelings of guilt for letting self pity trap me began to seap into my consciousness. But has the light got brighter and the hole expanded in size I exhaled those negative feelings and started to force positive thinking inside my dome instead. I was closing in on the bright light. My heart was racing, my brain was pounding with exhaustion, my breath was strangling me with every one I took. The hole is large now, a few more feet and freedom will be my friend. Still not sure how I got myself in this situation but I truly did not care. A few more feet. I was laughing maniacally now and tears where streaming down my face; rolling over the singed area where my former tears of depression past had made their marks. And Then, Success!

I made it. As my eye's adjusted to the light I could see that I was in a empty gigantic pipe, hundreds of feet in the air. Below me, a faint glimpse of water and vegetation. In front of me was about a thousand square miles of forest. How did I get here? I do not remember anything. Could I have been kidnapped. Did I come here on my own, hurt myself and gain amnesia. Not sure. You know what, it doesn't matter all that matters is getting home. The piped was set upon a huge mountain, which was very steep and surely looked unstable. I looked down at the water, it was a guarantee that if I was to jump or fall off the mountain, then I would meet death like a new neighbor next door. I started to sob. There was a slim chance I would survive heading down the mountain, but I was in much pain and knowing I would have to do some rock climbing maneuvers with no rock climbing experience frightened the hell out of me. I could just give up and fall to my death, or sit here and hope i'm rescued. I sat for a while and weighed my options, jump to my doom and say forget it all or despite the agonizing pain, no food or water, the heat and no idea what i'm doing, make my way, down the mountain. I thought about my wife and the hurt she'd feel if she knew I gave up. I thought about my passion for acting which was not really exploding at the time and I thought about my life and what I want to be remembered for. A coward or a man that continued on through all adversity and struggle. My decision was made. I would not give up, I would soldier on. Every moment was a brand new chance for redemption and success and I wanted to fulfill my vows to myself of following through to the end no matter the consequence.

I painfully got to my feet and start down the mountain. I was in charge, I owned this situation, I was gonna be victorious. Then it happened! I came to a cliff and knew I would have to climb down in order to continue. I was still about 3 or 400 feet in the air and was scared shitless. But I made my decision and was gonna live or die by it. I got to my knees and turned over on my stomach and started inching my way over the cliff. As I hung in thin air and wondering if I made the right decision, the words "keep going" popped in my head. Over and over the words slammed my cerebrum, and was getting louder in volume. I started grabbing for crevices and out put rocks. I was doing it, I was doing it!! I traveled down the face of the beast slowly but with conviction and confidence. I started feeling like I made it, I seen my wife Erin and thought about embracing her again and never letting go. I saw myself going to auditions and bringing my all and getting the parts. I saw myself promoting my films and standing on the red carpet as cameras flashed and fans screamed for my attention.

I was so enthralled in how my life would change for the better I didn't notice how I just completely missed a piece of cliff, and let my foot slip. I tried to grab out to the face of this behemoth for security but it was to late. How stupid I am. I slowly fell backwards and headed down the path of fate. I had a way's to fall but not long enough to go through all the emotions expected for an oncoming tragic situation. I tried and failed. But you know what, I didn't care. I smiled as I fell to my doom, I was no longer afraid. I did what most would not have done, and kept going through all adversity. I felt death on the back of my neck and spun my body around to see my impending fatality. I closed my eye's and let the nice breeze of a hot day in the middle of a forest hit my face with pleasure. The water rushed up from the forest floor with intensity and in my last 10 seconds I gave out a loud yell of maniacal Freedom. I slammed into the water with enough force to level a house. Darkness fell.

A sound. Man made. My eyes strained to open but blinding light shut them closed again. I was alive! The sound was so close I could reach out and touch where it was coming from. I outstretched my hand and pushed the off button on my alarm clock. What a dream, what a damn dream. It felt so real, I was there, but obviously I truly wasn't. I sat up in my bed and wiped the cold out of my eye. I looked over at my beautiful wife and kissed her gently on the forehead, I was so lucky to have her, she was the best thing that ever has and will happen to me no matter how much success I have, it would be nothing without her. I pulled back the covers. She slowly turned over and opened her eye's. "Morning baby," she let out with a groggy yawn. "Good morning lovely," I soothingly replied. The images of my dramatic dream still flashed and burned in my head. "Today is the big day, you still afraid and nervous babe?" My wife asked as she sat up and reach for my face to softly caress it. I look her in her eye's and before I spoke, thought about the dream again and everything I have learned from it. Today was a big day, It was my second call back for a co-lead role in my first major motion picture. If I did well today I would get the part and start down a new path in my film career. I gently pushed her hair out of her eye and said, "Nope, I feel great. Today is my day." She looked at me quizzically and smiled accentuating Those cute dimples. "You got this baby," she foretold. I let my mind wonder once more to the dream and then let it seap into the back of my mind, forever to be a mentor for anything I do in life from now on. I smiled at her and said, "I know babe, Your right I do."

Till next time folks, do you, enjoy yourself.

Learning Myself.

2011-12-01T13:34:00.000-08:00

Everyday, I learn myself more. I never really gave thought about what I really like or what I truly want out of life till recently. I feel like there is a drive in my soul that has just kicked in, and oh does it feel good. I am determined to follow my dreams and find success in my own way. Please do the same. Take some time and find yourself. It's not a one day job, but it is a journey that you want to take. Believe me.

Everyone creates his or her own path in life. Life IS what you make it. So make it a good one. Things are not always what they are cracked up to be, but in your case, you should disclaim that remark. Because if you strive for the best, then you will be the best and obviously become opposite of the above remark.

Till next time...

Let go of the pain, and focus on the task at hand. #NewWayOfThinking

Enough is Enough of You!!!

2011-10-25T13:45:00.000-07:00

Everybody want's to be somebody. Well, atleast the majority of us do. Some of us our blessed to know about promoting and branding ourselves. But at what cost is it to the consumer for pushing the business of, let's say Chris Singleton into their face everyday? Bombarded by my image and my plea to people to help me in the cause to become popular enough for the industry to notice. Should I calm down? Should I ask once and let that be it?

It is a known fact that if you push people to hard or keep throwing the same situation at them, they will get fed up with it. So, what's my limit? when is enough...enough? I don't want to turn people away, because i'm overbearing. But I need them to notice me. Oh, what to do? There is sometimes so much going on in commercials, advertisement, Movies with product placement...and selling the person as a brand that it makes my head spin. So I understand fully. BUT SHOULD THAT STOP ME?!! Should I just send a little message on Facebook once a month and ask people to visit a movie i'm in? Or, should I go all out and promote like crazy? Hmmmmm...

Simply answered; In this day of T.V. Commercials and advertisement there is no reason not to take full advantage and promote your brand as much as anybody else. The thing about humans is, that we can take it. We like what we like and hate the rest. A lot of times we are talked into liking something that we thought we would never even try. Promotions! This is what makes us spin. Gives us something to do, to live for, strive for. Something to sell, a dream to reach for!! If your not doing something, then your just a waste of space. Why not sell something, everyone's doing it...besides if your going to be doing something you should at least make some cash right. Ok, Ok...that's not right. If you do do something, do it cause you love doing it(HUH). Make some money though...Love doesn't pay bills...usually. Just do something!! LIVE!!!!

Whewww...sorry, I got off subject. What was I saying....oh..ok. So, Promote your self...Sell your brand!! Let the World know that you exist and you want in just like the rest of society. Cause once it's all gone, it's gone. Take advantage of this time period...I will; And I'm sure anybody other Actor will also. I will not be left behind and have Brad and Angelina soak up all the attention. No Offense to the happy couple. But it's my time to shine.

Strength of a star.

2011-10-21T16:20:00.000-07:00

I feel foolish if I call myself a star in the making. But it does bring a valid point that what I strive for in my life. I want to reach for the stars. Believing whole-heartedly that I will be the next big thing in the movie field, doesn't mean that it will happen, but as long as I expect it to happen I will forever try to see my name in lights. I'm a complicated person, I love attention but at the same time I can be shy and insecure, the makings of a great actor. But if I say I will be a star, hinder my chances of becoming one? If I say that I want an Oscar, will that hinder me from acquiring one? The answer is No...every actor and actress that has ever been in front of a lens has at one time or another said there goals out loud, of becoming a big deal and winning an Oscar. So with that being said, If you excuse me i'm gonna go practice, because I have an Oscar to get. Maybe the day I acquire it will be the day I will stop proclaiming I am meant for the stars, but probably not.

Say your goals aloud to yourself or to someone you know...Believe in it and expect it like your next breath.
