It's another wonderfully beautiful Southern California day.
Yes, it's mid January and it's 80 degrees in Los Angeles. If the sun wasn't at such a slant in the sky due to the present tilt of the earth's axis I would be tempted to be lounging poolside as I attempted to make this first entry into my newly created blog, undoubtedly distracted by the appeal of a cat nap basking in the warm rays before work. Alas, it is still winter and the temptation has been squelched by the fact that the sun does not quite reach the pool which is cleverly, or unfortunately, located in the quad...surrounded by the two stories of apartments comprising my complex. It's okay though, the beauty of So Cal is that there will always be more warm days and time to tempt the fate of skin cancer. Plus, with work looming on the not so distant horizon it's probably best that I am enjoying the warmth of the day in the confines of my one bedroom apartment. Plus that cuts back on the distractions while I share with you my first attempt at what a million people do every day...pour their hearts, souls, and useless babbling out into the vast expanses of the www, yes, the ever powerful world wide web.
So back to the point, why blog? I don't know if there's really truly a good answer for this, I mean I can easily say that I have such great amazing insights into life and the world that I felt it would be such a pity and shame to not share them with society, but that's not the truth. We all have interesting things to say and ways in which we perceive our surroundings, and believe me, I don't think that mine are any more meaningful or important than the next. I don't feel that I need validation of my views, or that I even need followers. Heck, I would be surprised if my blog even interested people, but I have been told that my writing is amusing and that I should pursue some sort of hobby or career pertaining to it enough times to think...well, what the heck? I mean everyone and their mother has a blog right? So maybe there is truth in it, maybe people will want to read or hear the random little things that float through my mind...and maybe not. Either way, I won't be offended, this is more about me re-discovering my love for writing, and keeping myself occupied and productive in my newest adventure, and if I can in any way entertain you for even a couple minutes, then I guess spilling out a little of myself into the universe of technology had a positive result after all.
So here it is...my blog about...well...anything and everything, documenting my experiences, adventures, and random thoughts as a struggling artist in this town, chalk full of struggling artists. And yes, don't roll your eyes, I am what you think...just another delusional soul chasing that elusive dream...an actor in LA.
