Activities

I've been trying to make new friends where I live. I got invited to a few Christmas parties, and met a guy who has some of the same interests I do...writing, acting, music, etc. He was telling me this thing about www.amtcworld.com which stands for "actors, models, and talent for Christ". It looks really cool. I signed up online, and their is an audition a week from today that I'm doing for singer songwriter. It's about 30 seconds, and then I find out whether I make the cut for their program. The program costs anywhere from $1,200 to $2000, but it supposed to help you land an agent. I'm just doing it for fun, to meet people, and see what they have to say about making a positive difference in the media. I got a book for Christmas on Screenwriting. I really have to take a grain of salt with it. Some things I really like, others I endure, and still other things I disagree completely with. It's been good to give me some guidelines, fresh ideas, and constructive criticism.

Well, enough of the fun stuff. I'm also looking for work. There's quite a few employers looking for part time help. Once I have a job, I'm thinking of going down two avenues. There's a medical job which would ensure job security in a very bad economy, and I would do the creative stuff on the side, or I could get my stuff together and go to a local film school, so that I can finally get that movie idea I have into reality, or at least find lucrative work doing what I like to do. No job is ever easy, and work is not supposed to be pleasurable all the time. I'm just trying to do the best I can with what I have. I'm knocking on all the doors, until somebody either opens one, or I build a door and open it myself.
