Changes and Almost Naked Men

This picture is called ‘The Road Less Traveled’…

The wind is definitely blowing changes my way…. And I’m surprised that it surprises me. The feeling of ‘Aha’ should be so familiar by now. Hence, it isn’t. And I guess that is the nature of the unenlightened…

One thought came to my mind today as I was driving home from a meeting in Santa Monica; I think it’s interesting how it seems that you have to be open to them – the changes – before they will make a proper appearance before you. Like, you have to get on the same page with the changes and once you get there you realize they have been waiting for you to catch up for a while. Suddenly, they sit there and stare you right in the eyes with a provoking smirk. Like a change is the most obvious and simple solution to everything. And hands down – it is.

Am I making any sense? Maybe not…. However, the changes I’m talking about today is not revolutionary over night happening out of this world changes, but small yet solid changes that leads you on to new pastures.

Getting back to my meeting in Santa Monica; I had a long and super interesting conversation with a truly inspiring man today, who I’m going to start to work with. I can’t really call him an acting coach, because he is not. He is much more. So I will call him a mentor, a teacher or maybe a friend. We will see what this connection brings. But for now I’m pretty excited. We start this Friday and I already have a ton of material that we both brought to the table.

So what is the change about you may ask? Well, one of the reasons that I’m so excited about this new friend is, that he pretty much told me what my gut feeling has been telling me for a long time about my acting, my path and sense of direction. I don’t really want to go into details other than I was happy to find an answer to my question.

From there I was off to a birthday party and then I finally watched Sex & The City 2. Yes! I know it’s embarrassing that a New York devotee as yours truly hasn’t reconnected with Carrie yet. Sorry, but I was in Nicaragua when the SATC frenzy hit town. And now after having watched it….

Ha ha… What can I say? That film is any girl’s wet dream. Abundance of fashion, exotic locations and extremely out of this world sexy men. ‘Australian Rugby team’ Excuse me…!!!!!!!????? ha ha 🙂

And now we are touching upon the subject: Did any of You pay attention how much more skin the men were showing compared to the ladies in this film? Talk about male objectification. The only other Blockbuster I remember that happening in is ‘Troy’, where brad Pitt is more ribbed and more naked than ever. I don’t even remember if this was pre-Angelina. Now he has a lot of facial hair and a lot of kids. (Just kidding 😉 …)

Anyhow, tonight the sun sets on an all in all really perfect day in LA. Tomorrow I have an audition for starters, then a meeting with an Italian film director who wants to talk about his next movie with me. Then another meeting in Brentwood, then rehearsals for Friday’s acting ‘thing’ and then Thursday Sessions at Bardot. Hell yeah! I like the changes that the winds are blowing my way….
