That's Life

One of my favorite sayings is, that's life! You win some and you lose some. I was put on avail for another national commercial. However, that was it. They never officially released me but I know they filmed the commercial earlier this week. Oh well, I know I did really well that I was called in for a callback and put on avail. It's nice to get to the next level of making it that far along. I know that when I do my best that is all I can do. I am proud of myself for having gone as far as I did. Congratulations to the actor who won the role!

I am busy working on a film that we will film in mid-June. I am working hard with the director and it is coming along nicely. I just finished hiring a Sound person and now we have a full crew. I would like to have one other production assistant but you can't have everything.

I am very excited because my son is visiting us from Italy!!! He is only in town for one week and I've cleared my schedule. I am even thinking of hiring my photographer for some great shots. I am getting the house ready. I am getting the pool ready. My daughter will help with the cookout. I will notify the remaining family members so we can all be present.

One of the things I've noticed about being in this business is that families are important. If you do not have family support, you won't have success. It's essential to know why you are doing this business. Is it because you have something to say? Something to contribute? Many times being an artist just does not pay. So you have to do this for other reasons besides monetary ones. And once you start talking to people about their family, well the whole dynamic changes. I have respect for those who respect and love their family members.

I am looking forward to seeing my family. We will be together for the first time in like 2 or 3 years. That's crazy but that is how life is. I was blessed that my parents came by to see me. And we had a nice time together. I have always wanted my parents to see me have a successful career and now they have.

Well, time to sign off and get my day started. Life is one day at a time -- a day to be respected. A day to be cherished this gift of life.
