T- Minus 4 Months...

I had a hard time waking up this morning.  I kept trying to wake up and sleep kept dragging me back under.  I was having dreams that I was trapped on an island like the television show LOST and situations were weird as the show was.  I wish I could remember some of them to write about, but I can’t. 

I got up and checked my online messages and all that fun stuff then realized something that I have been realizing a lot lately.  I have nothing to do.  I can’t afford to go out and spend any money because I am saving for LA.  So, it has been a cause for a lot of boring days off.  It’s not easy to be this disciplined.

I also have some nasty sinus pressure going on today.  Heavy drainage and my eyes feel like they are dry and swollen.  Hopefully I don’t develop new allergies when I move to LA.  I have heard many people talk about moving to different places and allergies plague them until they get acclimated to that new place. 

Speaking of new places, it’s now only 4 months until the big move to Los Angles.  Part of me feels like its right around the corner and part of me feels like it’s forever away.  The second part must be my inner child. 
I’m still really worried, because there is still so much to be done.  We still have lots of money to make and save.  We have to find new homes for Shelby and Kristin’s cat.  Although, at this point, Shelby may be coming with us.  We’ll just have to see.  We’re going to have to find a place to live that we can afford, find jobs, etc.  It’s a lot to wrap my head around. 








This is a Google map image of where Alex and Lindsay live.  I think we are going to try to move into their building, so we can be near someone we know to ask for tips here and there.  It's a 6 unit apartment building built in the 1940's but it's affordable and in a safe area.  Kinda my only requirements right now.  I just hope they have an opening when we are ready to move.










Today is Dad’s 67th birthday.    We are going to Joe T Garcia’s in Fort Worth.  He loves that place, although I have never seen what the big deal is about it.  They only serve 2 things, Fajitas or Enchiladas.  Oh well, it’s probably our last year to be here for his birthday, so we should go do whatever Dad would like.
Speaking of birthdays… I am now only 12 days away from my 39th.  I wish I could say I was excited, but birthdays stopped being something I wanted to be excited about after age 25.  Oh well, at least I’m in the best physical shape of my life.  And, I’m about to start a positive midlife crisis with the move and all.






In other news…The screening of "Hold Your Peace" (The gay romantic comedy I stared in last year) will be on June 20th at The Texas Theatre in Dallas. 
 I started out pretty excited about it, but of all the invitations I sent out for it, only Mom and Josie from work said they could come. Other people I have invited are going to be out of the country or away on trips.  I guess I should get used to that sort of thing.  Not everyone will be able to come to things I act in.  I understand that.  

 I went to see the Oswald thing I shot 2 weeks ago.  It looked AMAZING.  I typically don’t like watching myself act, but this almost seemed like I was watching someone else.  I really hope we’ll be making the rest of it very soon.  Not only for making some much needed money for LA, but also because I think the credit will be a great addition to the resume AND more of walking in the footsteps of history!
