About Me

I currently reside in Hamilton Heights. That's above Harlem in New York City. The greatest city on the planet. It is a tough place to live but living here presents me with an opertunity to learn more and more about myself each day. I'm an aspiring actor, though I spend more time trying to make ends meet so I can live here rather than getting myself to auditions. I'm trying to find the humor in it all. I'm staying on a couch. Springs have been sprung. Soon to be couch hopping. I'm also looking for a job. Possibly a real job for a while. I've fallen on my face/ass a lot but I always get back up and try angain. And I'm proud of that. I have a love/hate relationship with this city. I try to face my fears daily. I embrace struggle to the best of my ability. I'm still readjusting to the civilian life.

Anxiety at Random

I've had a very anxious week. Not eating or sleeping well. I've only had about 2 hours of sleep, maybe 2.5 hours, in the last 24 hours. But oddly, I do feel rested. Maybe the 2 hours of slee...
