An Educational Vacation
After much thought, and more than a little agonizing I must make a return to Phoenix. Temporarily anyway.
It's the no car thing. It's killing me. I was counting on public transit, but I've been told repeatedly that it's completely unreliable. Plus, the nearest train station is quite a long hike away. So getting a decent job becomes impossible, and more importantly going on auditions is impossible.
At first I was very frustrated about this decision, but after discussing it with my good friends, Jimmy and Avery, I have a plan of attack so that when I come back in May I will come back with both barrels blazing and make Hollywood my bitch.
This plan includes getting a job for a while and earning some cash, getting newer headshots made with multiple looks in mind, and in color, getting these shots printed, obtaining a copy of Salena Incident and the student film I did so that I can make my reel, and working out constantly so that I will be in even better shape than I am now.
I found out that I was way more ill-prepared for this place than I thought.
Also, this gives me some time to revise and edit the play I finished almost exactly a year ago. It's been sitting in rough draft on the shelf ever since.
Plus, Jimmy mentioned that things would work out better for me if I am "all here." He's of course referring to my strong and beautful fiance living six hours away. He's right too. I've missed her like I would miss my right arm... or more acurately; like I would miss my genitals.
Jimmy has lived here for ten years, and apparently ten years ago he did the exact same thing. Came out for a month, had to go home, formulated a plan and came back and kicked some ass.
At first I was disappointed, but now I feel good about this decision.
