When I first got to Las Vegas, I went to lunch with Tara’s mother. We sat there catching up and talking about my voyage when she shared a story about her travels through Europe. This story was inspirational to me because it help reiterate one of the many reasons why I am doing this: To help remind me, as well as others that there are other ways to live life.
In the Car with Dana Nicole
Last week, as I was getting all set to leave Los Angeles for Project Kinect, I got a chance to so some podcasts to promote the project. One of the podcasts was Langdon Nation and when I was all finished, the lovely Dana Nicole Brooks gave me a ride home. We got to chatting about acting and the love of acting and how it is impacted by Hollywood. There are a lot of compromises that happens to the craft when it comes to making films as well as benefits. We talked about those and then continued to get into a discussion of how do we stay sane in Los Angeles while in the middle of the set? What do we do for ourselves every day to make sure we can keep our integrity and continue on the path to conquering our goals?
Toward the interview, I asked Dana Nicole what she consistently goes back to ensure that she is getting her inspiration and feel she has went back to basics. This is her answer. A fair warning, she sometimes uses an adult vocabulary.
Discussing Online Dating
While I’m getting ready to leave Los Angeles, I’m getting a chance to see all of my friends before I leave. This last Saturday, I got into a conversation with Nephresha about the relevance of online dating. Online dating is still a very adolescent concept ans yet we, as a society, have really added it to much of our single lives. Nephresha, like majority of working single America, finds herself looking for love and companionship with out the time or convenience of going out and taking the chance of meeting Mr. or Mrs. Right.
Meeting Shannon in Hollywood
A couple nights ago, I was busy working and as I was leaving Kinkos at Sunset and Vine, I was approached by this young woman who wanted to show me her art. By approached, I mean she said hello and when I responded with hello and kept on walking, she took off to walk beside me, just as quickly and brisk as I, to have this conversation. She went on to tell me that she had applied to the California Institute of the Arts(CalArts), and was working on selling some of her art to raise tuition. Her drive and passion really inspired me so I pulled out my camera and got to know her a little better. Thanks Shannon!
