honey, are you failing better yet?

Boy, this acting thing is tough.  A man can only take so much rejection for so long.  You know what my favorite piece of literature has been recently?  A pocket-size 3"x 5" book of quotes all about dealing with failing.  And you know what about it?  It keeps me sane.  I know what my secret word of the year is already.  Yep, I believe I figured it out this early on.  It's usually around August or so where you begin to assess how your year has been and start to hash out where it should end up but, in early February... psh~ I'm beating me!  Yes, it is the word "Patience."  Patience is the word that will help me understand the reasons why I continually get close enough to smell it but not close enough to take a bite of it.  Man, sometimes a dude needs some sustenance.  I'll elaborate more on this one day.  A day when people will actually bother to read what I write.  I'll save the white noise for now.

I'm doing alright though.  It just gets frustrating sometimes.  But knowing that I'm in it for the long haul keeps me moving.  As long as I know that with each passing day I'm even one hair of a better person and a better performer than I was the day before, I know I'm en route.  Idle hands is something that's never plagued me in the past so I don't plan on it affecting me any time soon.

Right now I'm in training.  No, literally.  I've been boxing for the past month and I've come to learn that I've got a wicked right cross.  The old, little, wrinkled, Mexican/ Native American man who's training me told me so.  I can take his word because he is currently training two Olympic champions and was also Margarito's former trainer.  Being Margarito's former trainer might not say much after the face pounding, Chinaman face makeover he received from Pacquiao but seriously, Manny Pacquiao is a freak so...



Don't worry, I don't plan on getting in the ring with Pacquiao any time soon.  I'll just wait until he's like 60 and then I'll go punch him in the back of his head before he gets in his car or something and say I fought him.  But yea, boxing is making my body look and do things it hasn't been able to do before so, I'm pretty happy about that.  Aside from that, I've also been in rehearsals for an amazing show that's going up in March.  Stay tuned for more information.

For those of you who pray, I ask for you to pray so that I may have the patience of Job.  For those of you who don't, give me a call and make me feel loved.

Thanks you for all your continued support!  Yes, to all the two of you who read this!
