“And 18 People Could Grow Into 525,600 People”

Hello All,

Lately, I’ve found myself really appreciating life. I feel like ever since I got my CARPE DIEM tattoo, I’ve looked at each day as a new opportunity. The weird thing is, I feel almost invincible. Not physically, of course, but I feel as though I have no reason not to be confident in my future. Each day is a challenge. There are obstacles that are thrown our way by people. The problem is, that we allow all of the little issues to pile up. A good friend of mine once told me “If something I’m mad about won’t be on my mind in 5 years, then why worry about it?” Such great logic.

On to more business. Well. Not really business. The Christmas show is doing well. I was recently given  a bird prop to carry around with me the whole show. I play a Scarecrow. Pause a moment to take that in . . . . . . yeah. I’ve actually found myself enjoying this little prop. I’ve even created a whole back story to how my character in the show met the bird. Quite frankly, It’s hilarious. I even get to do a partner dance at the very end with the bird. Moments like these make me remember why I love acting. You get to find things that may not be in the text, and add them to the character. Little things like this help create a performance that the audience will fall in love with.

Lastly, I wanted to talk about why I chose the title of this blog post. For those of you that don’t know, it’s from the musical “[title of show]“. Basically, this sums up how I feel about me as an artist and performer, and my relations with “fans”. My goal is not to become famous. While, yes, getting a large group of “fans” would be great, it really is not what I’m all about. If I just have a small group of people who keep up with me, and they just so happen to share me off to their friends, then I’ll be happy. I’d rather my “fans” be people who really enjoy what I do, than people who are just kinda “meh”.

That’s really all I have for you today. Here is my latest rant video.
