My heart beats outside the walls of my chest and I can’t even tell if it’s the sound of my own. Sometimes I put all of my faith into the things that will hold me least accountable, and this very moment is a perfect example of that. It’s the thrill of not knowing what the next few moments hold and hoping that the lines that form into an eloquent speech will somehow find themselves on my lips at the right moment. When a journey of such depth is followed by my footsteps, I can only put my entire heart into it and trust that the rest will be taken care of in good timing. And if I step into the burning and blinding spotlight and find the heart that I’ve left in that place, then I can rest assured in knowing that I’ve accomplished something far more meaningful than learning lines and delivering them to entertain an eager audience. The more that I allow myself to become involved in the world of acting, the more I realize that it’s the journey I crave, rather than the final product. It’s the life lessons that keep me grounded and allow me to find a part of myself within each character I strive to play. It’s the discipline; the way in which I’m taught to work for long hours and consistently pour in incredible amounts of effort. It’s the humility; the way in which I learn to allow others to shine and let go of personal choices and ideas for bigger and better ones. It’s the self-confidence; the art of knowing how to be proud of what I’ve accomplished while staying grounded and letting go of the false humility that has been engrained in my mind. It’s the focus, community, gratitude, and mentorship that make this experience worthwhile, but most importantly it’s the pure joy which we as a group allow to soak up every part of our individual being and further collaborate with one another to create a work of art that exudes grace, composure, and passion. It’s that feeling, when your heart beats out of your chest and find it lying in the deep end - that feeling you get when you dive in after it and immerse yourself in the infinite opportunities that lie ahead, that make it all worthwhile. I’ll never forget what a director I once had told me. He said, “I’d rather see you fail spectacularly, than succeed halfheartedly” and that’s exactly what I intend to do.

Hell I'm gonna be me
Gonna be free
Walking on moonbeams
And staring out to sea

be be your love

  • Jul. 11th, 2008 at 11:18 PM

 "Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love.
But I want, want, want to be your love,
Want to be your love, for real.
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love.
But I want, want, want to be your love,
Want to be your love for real.
Want to be your everything."

i'll do it for love.

  • Jun. 6th, 2008 at 3:55 PM

I do what I can wherever I end up
to keep giving my good love and spreading it around.
'Cause I've had my fair share of take care and goodbyes.
I've learned how to cry and I'm better for that.

What's your problem?

  • Jun. 1st, 2008 at 10:56 PM

Situations like this don't bother people like me.
I keep making sure everyone knows that I'm bigger than that.
But in all reality, I'm not.
And being honest and willing to take risks makes me look
like I've got it all figured out.
But I don't know if I can hold it together anymore.
You just keep on hurting me.

You are the last person I would've ever guessed.
Dang. This is retarded.

Super hot bod...maybe.

  • Mar. 26th, 2008 at 6:22 PM

So, I'm stoked on life right now. I'm starting this 10 day cleanse which Whitt, Michelle, and Bonnie are doing as well. Basically I get to drink freshly squeezed lemons in 10 cups of water with a bit of organic maple syrup and cayan pepper tablets a day for 10 days. I also have this weird protein supplement stuff to go with it. This apparently means that I'm going to lose 15 -20 pounds in the process and then I have to go back to the health store and start a plan to maintain my weight. I'm going to start going to the gym regularly after that and hopefully by summer I'll have a super hot bod....haha. But seriously. Anyway that's my exciting news of the week. NO FOOD FOR 10 DAYS. Starting tomorrow. Yeah, that'll go over well with an Italian!

Honey, not babe.

  • Feb. 25th, 2008 at 10:19 PM

Your eyes don't lie
And when you hold me, I can feel you aching for it to be real.
Even if, you only hold me for a second.

We're always just a second behind.
We miss the signals when we're on time.
And we both know,
I'm your honey, not babe.

Inches Away

  • Jan. 31st, 2008 at 8:44 PM

He leans to whisper in her ear.
She turns to listen.
He looks at her.
She looks at him.
Inches away
Only inches.
Her eyes tell a story, he's been waiting to hear.
His face paints a picture, she's been longing to feel.
Inches away
The electricity. 
He holds her hands and tells her she's okay.
She falls into his body of warmth.
Falling
Falling
In inches.
She looks up.
He looks her in the eye.
Inches away
Only a breath.
She turns and looks at the wall.
He remains looking at her face,
And he leans to whisper in her ear.

hey you,

  • Jan. 8th, 2008 at 6:38 PM

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
 

yup.

  • Nov. 26th, 2007 at 1:33 PM

you're pretty much an idiot.
too bad it took so long for me to finally figure that one out.

Oh Canada...

  • Nov. 9th, 2007 at 1:40 PM

 So pretty much, I have to sing the National Anthem and the American National Anthem at a hockey game tonight,
and I don't know the words to the American Anthem. On top of that, I unfortunately do not have a piano on the ice rink, to check if I am singing in the right key or not. 

This blows.

Ps. I do not like the way my face looks on a projected screen.

 

lol@life.

paper on ink.

  • Oct. 31st, 2007 at 10:37 PM

It's funny how much you learn about people when you need them the most.
And, when they know that there's nothing in it for them but just to be there for you,
so many people let you down, and those close friends that you're so sure of, seem to disappoint you the most.

Maybe I've changed. In fact, I know I have. I've found some of the pieces that are helping me on the way of becoming whole again, and that doesn't make me somebody bad. I'm still going to be here for all of those people that I promised I would - it's just hard when that promise doesn't seemed to be kept on the other end.

As much as it's disappointing, it's relieving to start seeing which people the world wants me to know.
And which people I am supposed to know for a short while, but are meant to teach me the most.

There's nothing as pretty as the truth.

  • Sep. 30th, 2007 at 4:43 PM

Say what you mean.
I don't care about how pretty the sky looked when it happened.

The sky never saved me from falling to the ground because gravity only works half the time.
And half the time you're asleep.

slight reminders of reality.

  • Jan. 20th, 2007 at 8:48 PM

the most commonly used key on my keyboard
is the one labelled 'backspace'.

and unfortunately, that word doesn't
only represent the eraser of my typed
words on public blogs, but it represents
my entire mindset.
