Before I start let
me clear up any confusion. This profile is my personal profile. It does not
promote any bands, websites or crap like that. That said the friends in my
friends list here are ALL PEOPLE I KNOW, or have met or have spoken too in
length. I DO NOT just add people to add them.
If I don't know you, and you put in a request it will
be denied. It's not that I don't want to make friends, I simply don't
believe you can 'meet' someone online as you can in person.
If you've found me through Elvira's profile as I am often on her Top Friends List, or if you found me because of her FOX Reality Show, feel free to add request my Elvira Twin profile. Scroll down to my friends list and you'll see me as Elvira. I will add you there. But again, this profile is for friends I KNOW ONLY. With that said, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I'm an aspiring (that's ASpiring not PREspiring) actor looking towards life in film and television in the near future. I just relocated to California (Not far from Hollywood). Anyone who knows me personally would say "It's about damn time!!" I have to agree with them. Since the mid 1990's it's been my biggest unachieved goal. I've done it. Now for the easy stuff.
Okay, so you never know what you're going to encounter when you're around me. I can go on hour long tangents, but usually they're entertaining ones. I'm a very out-going energetic person and I've managed to stay that way for a good many years now. Too much of my past was drenched with anguish, so that is something I stay away from as much as possible.
If you stumbled upon my profile here on MySpace, cool. If you searched for me, then I've got to wonder why. Either you know me, met me or saw me on TV. I've been on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Desperate Housewives," "JourneyMan," "The Search for the Next Elvira," "Room Raiders" and "Yo Momma.'" Let me just say one thing about television, it's not what it appears! Shows set in New York and Las Vegas as well as Miami are filmed in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas. As for reality television 95% of it is staged! You and I all know real life is not that exciting. If you keep your eyes open I am also in a scene of "All About Steve" starring Sandra Bullock, it was one of the hottest and most exhausting few days of my life. Would I do it again? Totally.
Okay, so here's even more about me, I'm an artist, a reader, a writer and a dreamer (as cheesy as that sounds it's true, I day dream a lot). Combine all those together and you get a pretty screwy concoction. I've worked in so many various avenues of life: Grocery store bag boy & cashier, waiter, maitre d', manager of a Halloween costume store, lead actor & director of two haunted house attractions, Assistant Manager of a Spencer Gifts, Revlon hair style, wig & color consultant, Singing Telegram/Mascot actor, extra in film and television, Reality Television star, make-up artist, special effects make-up artist, costume designer, hair stylist, scenic artist, set designer, prop fabrication, set decorator, singer, stripper (full nude, obviously I'm not shy), html web designer, photo restoration, public relations manager, celebrity personal assistant, celebrity impersonator and of course every day retail employee.
A little advice:
I've been around the block, over the hill and through the woods. I'm not even 30 years old, but believe me I feel damn near 100. If you're in your teens and can't wait to be older, SLOW DOWN!
Enjoy your youth! There WILL come a moment when you realize 'My God, I'm hitting thirty in just a few years,' and suddenly you stop looking forward to birthdays. You WILL enjoy naps, going to bed early on a random Saturday night, and you will have to cope with the reality that booze and beer doesn't just get you drunk anymore, it also makes you sleepy and fat. When you reach those years, start drinking lots of water before you go to bed, it will help thwart a hang over. When it comes to the fat part, you have to exercise and change your diet otherwise you'll frump up. Take it from someone who in their teens could eat an entire large pizza and not gain a pound from it. Trust me it catches up to you.
Don't sweat having a significant other. You'll never be too old to get married, don't rush into it. Enjoy being single, it's a lot cheaper and it's a lot easier to worry about yourself, instead of yourself and someone else. Don't be too hard on yourself if you've been single for a long time and want to date. The right person is out there, just don't look for them, that's the very moment you'll walk slap into them.
Try to be happy. If you grew up in turmoil, realize it and avoid drama as you grow older. If you find that you live for drama and can't be happy unless you're unhappy, stop being an asshole and grow up. I can promise you, there is someone out there who you're hurting needlessly who loves you a lot.
Be yourself. Don't grow up and retain the high school mentality that other people control your life. Life is not a popularity contest, looks are not important and trends come and go. Dress in a manner that makes you smile inside. Wear your hair and make-up the way you like, or none at all. When people stare, consider it a compliment. A stare is the first sign of individuality, hold onto it and be an inspiration to those who refuse to be themselves. Nothing is more powerful than positively embracing your own unique individuality. You are precious and beautiful, and you will make a difference.
Don't go through life without faith. Be it faith in God (Christ) or whatever. Weather you believe in a god or goddess, spirits and guides, have faith in something. Have reason for your actions and actions with reasons.
Set goals. No matter how little or how large. Set goals and accomplish them. Going through life without aim or purpose is one of the worst mistakes you can make. Trust me.
Have an opinion, and know why you have that opinion. Nothing is more important than being able to explain your opinions intelligently. Don't just have an opinion because everyone else does, have it because of a reason.
Be kind to other people. It all comes back to you. Even if it's years down the road, trust me. A rude comment or a mean action will ride its way back around and will kick you in the ass. If you have a rough time taking that to heart, stop for a moment. Think back to when you were a small child. Remember that one moment where your feelings were ultimately hurt. Where all you could think of was crying and running to your safe place. Think back to that one moment where that pain and anguish was brought on by another person. Everyone has a moment like that, no one is without that moment, so don't fool yourself. If you deny it as you read this then you have issues my friend. Be kind to other people, because at one time someone was unkind to you and it hurt.
You may read all this and think I'm being high and mighty, or you'll actually grasp the fact that I have been in all these places. Faced all these situations and made the wrong choices. I've embraced pain and drama, walked without faith, worried about being popular, been unkind to others, felt alone and wanted a companion... nearly took a temporary problem and used a permanent solution to end my pain. But I am here, now. Every day I make mistakes and bad choices, every day is another step towards where I want to be. Every day I remind myself of goals I've set that I still have yet to accomplish. But every day I work harder at doing the right things. All I can hope is that you've understood at least some of what I've said and will apply it to yourself. It's easier to avoid it if you know it's coming. God knows I wish I had.
I'll be adding more stuff soon...
