Time Off

Yes I am back from many things including a vacation, doing a play, falling in & out of lust, and having an epiphany.

That epiphany my dear friends is that I no longer have the time for this blog and would instead like to use my free time to do something that might be of more use than to humor you silly people : )

I have decided to abandon the blog for the time being and will be starting up a new one this week about trying to make it in as an actor. My hopes are that I can put something together that might help other struggling folks like myself with a little insight, some support and the kind of laughs I hope I was able to share with you.

Once again thank you for reading along and if any major news comes my way or should I have something I just HAVE TO share with you, then it will be here.

Ahh parting is such sweet sorrow.

My New Loves Are Old Ones



Sometimes rediscovering things you always loved but maybe neglected for a while is the best. For starters I have this skirt that was sorta tie-dyed satin and in different layers that I got probably 5 years ago at a market in the East Village for 10 bucks. I just cut the last layer off and now it hangs just above my knees and is cuter than ever and ready to rock. To think I almost got rid of something I loved so much just because it was a bit long.

Next I have become a bike riding machine! I finally went over the Brooklyn Bridge on something other than a cab, and it was totally exhilarating. I have been going out with my girls on occasion and even had a first date that was a bike date around Brooklyn. I get out there and I can feel a little bit of my childhood in the wind that blows on my face. As a kid I biked all over my neighborhood but then moved to a place that was more into the woods. Then in college I biked one year almost everyday to my classes that were off campus and I was in the best shape, I ignored my bike for a while, but don't worry Mama is back!

Lastly my father liked this musician Taj Mahal, and in college I dated a guy that got me into him. I even saw him play several years ago at Blue Note. His website is great because you can listen to a bunch of his songs for free, but I will leave you with a taste and one of my favorites from a guy who had some serious soul, not like these fame whoring saps that are out there now. Listen to both sides of his amazingness with these two videos.

My Shopping List

Considering I did not get any calls for work today I am going to take on a few errands.

1- I have to go to Chinatown to purchase a fake Gucci bag for the play I am in. I am a meth addict who has a Gucci purse, has a daughter who drown, just got out of a mental institution, accidentally killed her friend, and then purposefully kills two guys in self defense??? All this happens in 30 minutes and all I gotta say is I better be reimbursed for this damn bag!

2- I have to purchase a baby changing contraption off a registry. Why this you might ask? Because I can't afford to buy my friend the 400 double stroller, baby shit is expense! I would prefer to get some cute little punk rock t-shirts but this is more about what they need, not about what I want them to have. I am slowly learning these kinds of things the more damn bridal/ baby/ turning 30 parties I go to.

3- Help my buddy entertain his boys as he has knocked up his wife and not sure she wants to be like Leslie Mann at the club in "Knocked Up", ya know.

4- Start assembling "go to" outfits so I can look cuter no matter what I am doing. I recently discovered my ex's (the one from last summer) new girlfriends blog and I am obsessed, and not in the creepy "who is this b*tch I will kill her" kind of way, but in the "why can't I dress like that and be tall kind of way". Check her great style out.

5- Dance to a little MJ, preferably PWT... RIP WACKO JACKO.

Oh and BTW I had another dream except this time Robert Pattinson did not have fangs he was himself but with special powers, mostly ones that endangered my friends and family (sounds like a vampire) and we were once again totally in love. What is going on?

I AM the BOSS!

It's still amazing to me how most men react to a woman being in charge, especially a young cute one like myself. When we bark orders we are considered a bitch and given attitude, when men give the same orders, often actually barking instead of delegating, they are listened to and just thought of as an authority figure. It's complete bull sh*t!

Saturday night I was the "captain" of a wedding I was working. Which meant I was in charge of all 15 waiters and 3 bartenders, in making sure that everything was executed most proficiently and went according to plan. Let me tell you that there were a few men who were not too happy about that, and gave me more lip than I would like! So from now on I am going to lay down the rules a little thicker from the moment they walk in the door. "Listen I am the boss here, if you don't like it, then you can just head right on back outta here!"

My Dream Comes True... Almost

No sorry it's not the dream where I am a successful actor with more than a few dollars in my bank, or the one where "dream guy" actually asks me out, no its the one with Edward Cullen or actually Robert Pattinson. Yeah see he is in NYC shooting a film and I was lucky enough to be there as a NYU student on my bike. I rode back and forth in Washington Square about 50 times for every take. It was insane especially because it kept RAINING.

Yes in my dream there was a brigade of blondes chasing me for being a killer, in real life it was more about Robert getting chased by a brigade of paparrazi and instead of him saving me with his fangs, I was trying to save him buy running them over with my bike and taking out their lenses with my elbow pad! And in my dream we ended up together and in my life I just ended up being a blur in the background as usual.

Seriously I felt bad for the guy. The amount of cameras and fans both young and OLD, you would of thought he was a freaking Beatle or something! I mean one paparazzo fell into a puddle and hit his head, there was a fight with one yelling at one of the crew members saying "I will KILL YOU." And there were girls everywhere asking to get autographs and these were girls over the age of 30! I mean really! If you have such a crush on the guy wouldn't you want to play it cool and not be all pathetic and bother him while he is at WORK, and yes acting is an actual job people, let us get on with it already!

Worst Week Ever

If I could change my life this is what I would like:

1.) To not have to kill three large flies in my small bathroom before going to bed every night.
2.) To not get carpal tunnel syndrome while doing a job I can't stand.
3.) To actually have what I felt was total chemistry not be a one night thing where he was faking charm just so he could sleep with me. (From now on I should just have one night stands, cause at least I would get one night!)
4.) To not spend 6.5 hours doing my own marketing, promoting, job seeking... and a bunch of money to find out that I wasted my time because I didn't know that the postage had gone up and the show I invited "industry" to had already passed.
5.) To not miss my movie time on my one day off after 3 12+ hour days of hard labor because the L train is stuck.
6.) To not have to walk down the streets of NYC or anywhere in a full tuxedo because I have a "dressed call" to a job I wouldn't wish on anyone. (I will never get a guy wearing a tie!)
7.) To not have some hipster girl tell me I am too close to her on the train because I am trying to rest my damn tuxedo bag on the railing.
8.) To not almost cry 3 times in one day when it's not even close to my period.
9.) To do a show where at least one of the agents/ casting directors I contacted shows up.
10.) To have this housing application take less than the last year of my life!!!!!

My horoscope says a new chapter is coming and I am not one to pray, but man do I need things to work out a little better than they have lately! If you don't hear from me for a couple weeks assume I am in the slammer for pushing a hipster off the train at the Bedford stop.

What's In My Head

Here are some of the things I have been thinking about lately.

1.) That if I had an iPhone I would defiantly want a Gaydar app. It would have 4 settings: Homo, Metro, Normal, & Burly. This way I could more easily find my mountain man, because with these hipsters you just never can tell!

2.) That the most annoying race is actually- TEENAGERS. They are gross, loud, mean, and unbelievably awkward. I was never a teenager.

3.) The honey bee swarm I saw that shut down a whole block in Brooklyn. It had apparently sent people running but when I encountered it, there was just cops surrounding the swarm which had attached itself to a vendor's table that was selling fake bling. These bees had bad taste, I would not want any of their honey.

4.) It's so nice out and all I want to do is eat a pulled pork sandwich and double fist a peanut-butter milkshake and a glass of Rose' with a sweet mountain man in the park on one of those checkered table clothes. Where is Jeff/ Edward Cullen anyway?

5.) Why do people always try to impress you by saying their eyes turn colors. "Yeah if I wear green they are green, but if I wear blue they TURN to blue." Umm NO THEY DON'T, they are actually the same in between color stop trying to sound as if your special. For the record my eyes definitely do that.

Tell Me What This Means

Well last night was more of a Nightmare. Edward did not return. Instead here are some of the things that happened in my dream last night.

1- My BFF was put in a Miley Cyrus movie because Miley became her friend while working in NYC. This made me extremely jealous, when in reality I busted my butt for an audition for a Miley Cyrus movie!

2- I had to go into my talent agency, which was a lot bigger in dream world, to listen to them make some big announcement and shoot a video.

3- On the way to the agency everything fell out of my bag and was scattered all over the subway platform and tracks including phone, i-pod, and red lipstick. As I was trying to pick them up and crying because I was still so jealous over the Miley incident, some woman with three infants came and had them basically sit all around me so that I could not retrieve my things. When I pointed this out to her she just said, "They are children and I am a MOM". This made me cry even more.

4- I get to the agency late and have blood shot eyes which does not look good for the video shoot or for my future at the agency. The big news was they cut a deal with FX and all the actors think this automatically put us on FX shows. I think it's Bullshit.

5- I have a boyfriend and while on some massive shoot, like "Ben-Hur" huge or maybe the Miley Cyrus movie because BFF is there, I am last to get food at lunch and there is nothing left even though they had apparently spent a million dollars to cater this one meal.

6- I have a boyfriend named Jeff who is climbing some Mountain. What was really strange was that somehow though I didn't go with him and was scared he was going to die, I saw him up there. Dreams are cool like that.

7- I witnessed that Jeff had to take baby pigs that looked like little dogs and chuck them off the Mountain so that they would not nibble at his hands.

8- He told me that the winds were often between 80 and 200 miles per hour. Is that even possible? What kind of wind is a tornado and wouldn't he blow off the mountain?

9- One of the babies from my class was at this extra large film shoot and he bit my arm and put a hole in my olive colored corduroy jacket, which was extremely hideous and I would never wear in real life.

10- The costume designer came and put wedges on all the small children. Don't get me wrong the were cute flower printed wedges with flowers on them but no 2 year old should be forced to wear wedges.

So this morning after 8.5 hours of sleep I am still super tired, and I was wondering why. I believe it is because I had one hell of a night!!!!!

Edward Cullen + Me = Best Dream Ever!

It finally happened! All those months I went to bed after reading about Bella and Edward's passionate but plaqued love, all I had wanted was Bella to die so that I could have a chance. While last night was one of the best dreams I have ever had, it was still a nightmare in the strangest way.

See I was a killer on the run in NYC without any shoes. I would steal skateboards to get around even though I have never used one. One night while running away from some cops and a group of blonde girls who wanted to find me so their hair color's image would not be tarnished, I ran right into the arms of Edward (Yes it was Robert Pattinson). Anyway out sprung his fangs and he was about to bite me, and then struggled to stop. I told him I deserve to die because I am addicted to killing people which is worse than being a vampire. But he saved me anyway and I fell in love, even though we all know I was already. From that moment on I never killed anyone else. Guess his love made me strong. It also allowed me to fly with him which was so scary and fun. He had become so powerful he could get close to the stars. Sometimes we would have to grab a tree as we ascended to slow us down. Flying is so fun!

Ahh from killer to lover in one night. Now I believe it is time to start the hunt for my real love.
