1st Yr. Anniversary - New Format - Can You Feel It? (Week 53)

Monday, September 19, 2011 marked exactly one year since I arrived in LA and with that accomplishment I'm celebrating the anniversary of my quest with a few changes. From this point on there will be no more extensive written posts (at least that's the plan). I have written my heart away for the last year to the point where writing hurts my brain. 

Introducing my new video blog format. The majority of my thoughts and experiences will now be expressed in my vlog edition. 

I have also upgraded the photo above with a more fierce and epic look. Special Thanks to Eric Erickson for the sponsored photo shoot. Lets say bye bye to this photo which has braced the front of my blog for my first year.

* Last Saturday, my mom unexpectedly blessed me with a donation and I was able to scrape together enough to treat myself with a tablet. I've been wanting it for a while and I'm very happy that I have one. Its a well desired treat and celebration. 

Motown Maurice celebrates his first year in LA with a Toshiba Thrive. 

* I also made the decision to cut back on writing so much in my blog today.

* Happy Anniversary! I got myself an audition for James Carter/Chris Tucker parody part and it went well. They emailed me the next day to inform me that they want to work with me.

* Missed a Japaneses TV audition because a young lady distracted me but I'm cool with it.

* As of today I started saying temporary staying with a friend from my acting class.  She made the offer months ago but it didn't work out. I contacted her yesterday and she came through. What a blessing. I was able to take a bath for the first time since last Wednesday (September 14th)  Related Post: Scroll to Monday, July 4, 2011

Motown Maurice's first bath in a week. This really felt good.

Met my new friends and roommates, Achillies & Hermes.

In celebration of my 1st year in LA I treated my acting class to Pizza.

I think they enjoyed the pizza.

The class liked the improv scene, but I wasn't too happy with it. I'm starting to focus on becoming a better actor now.

New Goals:

1. To book a national SAG commercial

2. To Feature in Theatrical Flim

3. Host a national game Show

Final Thoughts 

In a few words. I am happy my first year accomplishments. There are way to may to list right now. I'm also now finally starting to take my opportunity to become an actor more seriously. Now that I'm not going to be spending so much time blogging as before I'm planning on devoting extra time to developing my craft.

There are definitely greater things ahead in the upcoming year of this quest. What I'm really trying to say is that, "I Can Feel It." Can You Feel It?!!



As the quest continues...
