Since we've gotten so far off topic (believe me I'm not complaining, as a matter or fact I'm laughing my ass off) but Pippin I'd be more than happy to bitch with you!!!

Granted I did not choose to be an actor as my profession, however I think I've got the chops for it, but I am in the entertainment industry (a radio dj) and I've been super depressed eating Ben & Jerry's like a HEIFER feeling pretty crappy because due to budgetary issues my hours have been cut, I can't seem to find another job in my particular market, I don't have enough money saved to move to better locations, and in my mind my life pretty much sucks right now!!!

But I've noticed that when the S**T really starts to hit the fan you always seem to run into someone from years ago like from high school or college. And you always have to make that meaningless "small talk" chatter pretending that your life is all candy canes and puppy dogs.

I figure I'll just pull the trigger now and go into real estate...although with the economy that looks shaky too. Hopefully you'll get your big break soon and you'll be the one in the playbill instead of 'what's his name'. Good Luck Pippin!!!

"Life is a box of chocolates. You never know what you'll get."
- or something like that.

One thing about going into the arts is you have to ride with the punches. I've been through difficult times but now things are good. There were a lot of unexpected turns and twists along the way. Try to turn everything into a positive experience. Things can happen contrary to the general trend.

It's like a poker game where you have a mixed hand. You have to learn to play the hand you have and not get too frustrated thinking of the cards you don't (yet) have. Map out a strategy and a plan b and c. Yes luck is important, but it is rare that one only has bad luck, at least in America today.

Today I looked up at a rainy windy and dark sky and noticed what looked like a funnel cloud, a tornado in formation. It was dropping down from a huge black cloud and rotating, but it had not touched ground. Doors and windows were flying open. The cloud was about a quarter mile away from me. It was moving perpendicular to me. Suddenly the sky got all fuzzy and misty and the black cloud disappeared. This really happened to me today, but I hope there is a metaphor in there, too. And yes, the sun came out later.
