Heal the Bay in LA

// September 22nd, 2010 // 15 Comments » // I Love LA.

Just when I think I’ve mastered simple modern tasks like parking a car I feel like a damn reject when it takes me forever to parallel park because for some reason my back tire is two feet away from the curb and no matter how hard I try to reverse and go forward, reverse and go forward, it appears I’m farther than the 18” or less to the curb required by California law to avoid a ticket. Phew!  That was earlier today. Finally I did it though, and proceeded into my new apartment and handed Stan his half of the tuna sandwich I purchased at the Subway on Alameda in Burbank.

 

In other news, THIS Saturday morning is Coastal Cleanup Day which is the largest, single-day volunteer event in the world. I’m gonna volunteer at a beach near me (I’ll figure out which one tomorrow) and if you can, please bring friends and help clean a beach. Click below for the beach nearest you.

 

“From 9:00am until 12noon, over 14,000 volunteers from all over Los Angeles will take action to rid our beaches and inland waterways of unsightly and harmful debris. Coastal Cleanup Day (CCD) is an international event with over 90 countries around the world participating, making it one of the largest volunteer efforts on the planet!”

 

Moving in Life

// September 1st, 2010 // 3 Comments » // I Love LA.

I moved… yada yada and hooray! Below is a video I shot a few days ago. I’m still organizing the new place.
 
 On an alternate, highly personal note and to address a little Facebook uproar I carelessly whipped up with friends on pins and needles that I “quit acting,” my own fault for using those very same words in a Facebook post, I will admit life in Los Angeles was established for me when I moved here a few years ago post college to pursue an acting career, like many in their 20’s. 
 

I’ll still act in films upon request, but am not auditioning several times a week like I once was, but rather writing for iMusicDaily.com, wanting oh-so-very badly to finish writing my book which is a collection of stories yanked straight from my life growing up with tons of brothers and sisters in a crazy Christian missionary group that traveled around trying to get people’s souls into heaven. That’s the unusual life I had until I was 11 years old.

 

“The world feels unbalanced when an artist gives up their craft.” my friend Luis posted on my Facebook page. I’m not quitting, Luis, just resourcefully funneling the years of skills I gained performing Improvisational Theatre using story narrative, setting, pace, dialogue and character development into my writing. It feels right. Write. Wright. Right here in Los Angeles.
