Hello friends!
It's been a while since my last post and much has happened since then. New job, new cities, new stories, new news. For starters, I've been hired to serve at a little establishment called Katsuya. It's at the DTLA location in LA LIVE. It seems like only yesterday when I posted my Farm post about me no longer being unemployed. Since then I've been blessed with not only a second job but longevity of a commercial that has seen second life, therefore resulting in a second paycheck. Well technically, I'm holding down four jobs. I know, right? WOAH. So I'm working The Farm at lunch, Katsuya at dinner, concert productions on the weekends and also my full time job of continually developing my career as an actor. The past two months have been dedicated to some serious restructuring and planning but somehow I've managed to squeeze in a little trip to New York with Bunny. And yes, it was my first time revisiting my city of birth since, well, since I was born. NY was amazing but I'll get into that later when I post pictures. This post will be a little recap to set up future posts to come.
So yea... busy busy.
New job: Katsuya, which has been a handful as far as numerous interviews, training and things as far as remembering 40 new names are concerned. Straight up, their standard of excellence is unparalleled to any place I've ever worked. This place is run like a machine with virtually no room to settle for anything less than perfection. Considering the type of person I am, which is completely imperfect and notoriously "chill", Katusya should be the last place where I should be working. Right? Wrong. What trumps my imperfection is my competitive fire that burns to destroy whatever I don't think I can do. I hate losing, although it happens a lot, I still hate it, and when I see myself not up to par with whatever's going on I take it upon myself to claw my way to the top. This sort of burden comes accompanied with a good amount of night terrors and hair loss but it's all good because I can always find solace in screaming into my pillow in the bathroom. But seriously... everyone there's been extremely helpful and eager to get me up and on the floor. I hope this can be the beginning of something wonderful much like The Farm has been.
Other stuff:
- Booked a role in a short! (i punch a girl in the face)
- Joined an awesome cast to shoot our pilot! (more info to come)
- Stratovolcanoe had our first gig! (with another ahead real soon)
- Wrote a children's play for church (entitled "Rock Out With Your Croc Out")
- Finished Dexter season 3! (yes)
Well... that's all I can think of for now.
& thanks Arthur.. couldn't have done it without you.
Next post will be all about New York!
