Stay or Leave by Dave Matthews Band

Maybe different, but remember
Winters warm there you and I,
Kissing whiskey by the fire
With the snow outside
And when the summer comes
The river swims at midnight
Shiver cold
Touch the bottom, you and I,
with muddy toes

Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
IT WAS GOOD AS GOOD GOES
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did

Wake up naked drinking coffee,
Making plans to change the world
While the world is changing us...
It was good good love.
You used to laugh under the covers
Maybe not so often now
But the way I used to laugh with you
Was loud and hard

Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did

So what to do
With the rest of today's afternoons, hey
Isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did

DID I DO ALL THAT I SHOULD
THAT I COULD'A DONE?

Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you left me?
What day is this
Besides the day you went?

So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoons, hey
Well isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
DID I DO ALL THAT I COULD?

Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be you and me
I want to be too
What day is this?
Besides the day you left me
What day is this?






You see, no matter how 'over' someone you are, Christmas has that ability to make you miss everyone more, even those that are enjoying the season with new people in their lives. Maybe it's the cold, maybe it's the Christmas commercials, or maybe it's the thousands of miles distance. Whatever it is, it's a time to look back on what was Christmas Day last year, and what IS Christmas Day this year.

Still wishing you your fairy tale ending,

On to better things...

So lately I've lived off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, occasionally "dining out" with the help of the dollar menu. I've had little to no money in my pocket, my clothes are limited as it's getting colder and colder, food had disappeared, and just in general I was beginning to resemble the American economy personified.

But then last week I got a job at a spiffy fine dining regional Italian restaurant. I'm working like 50 hours a week, plus any shifts I pick up for other people. I get free food and wine.

The staff is super nice and around my age. The restaurant is a well-known, fine dining establishment with a dining room for about 60 people upstairs, a full service bar, and a basement wine cellar and party room that can hold an additional 15-20 person dinner party. According to NYMag, the price range is a '$$$' [expensive] on a $ to $$$$ scale. So tips can be very nice. The management is new, professional, but very easy going.

I'm building a resume, meeting new people, making money, becoming more grounded, learning Italian, learning Italian wines, learning Italian cuisine, being fed for free, AND I got a $300 check in the mail yesterday for being a SAG background character.



That's all! :)
Oh. And I love the Scissor Sisters, U2, and Phil Collins right now.

Solitary Man

Sweet!!

Yesterday I was in Solitary Man, with Michael Douglas, playing a college hipster. We basically smoked hookah all day, lol,

Now that I'm back and able to get parts again, I need to figure out how to get better representation so I can get auditions for the bigger parts. I hear they're already planning the new Twilight movie, 'New Moon', and I've always wanted to be in a vampire flick. :)

Until next time!!
