Weekly Written Review
Throughout my journey, people have come and gone. 2 years and 3 plus months ago I was blessed to meet the beautiful Lauan from Brazil. Little did I know she became my best friend. My last best friend was probably the 3rd grade. We did everything together, movies, walks, Nintendo Switch and much more. On Tuesday, she left Los Angeles to start a new chapter in Georgia. It was sad to see her go but in the words of the Jackson 5, "Never Can Say Goodbye," because I'm looking forward to seeing her again later. Her courageous decision will reap an abundance of rewards and I look forward to celebrating with her in the near future. LuLu has been such a blessing to my life. Sending peace, success, joy, and happiness to her personal legend. May all your desires come true.

Week 403: BG Farewell Tour Going Smoothly- In Town Recognition
Weekly Written Review
For most of this year, I've been working at least twice a week which is extraordinary. Most of it is background work but I'm getting in front of the camera. In most cases, they hire me for background but that doesn't matter to me. I know how to work my way in front of the camera. Nonetheless, I consider this my Background Farewell Tour. I'm enjoying every moment of it, until my turn to be the leading man. Aside from that, I attended a few screenings this week and I got a different kind of recognition that I'm not accustomed to yet. A few people I've never met before recognized me from the post-production of Frenchies a short film that's been screening. Then there was a guy whom I met a few weeks ago and when I saw him for a second time this week he remembered me from a Samsung (Text Neck) internet video. His friend produced that video. My face is getting around :-)

* Haircut...
* Music video shoot...Walking to the bus stop after the shoot someone from the music video offered me a ride but my energy didn't want to be in the car. I wasn't cool another person's shy performance energy who was in the car. I took the long downhill walk to the bus stop. It was around 10 or 11p and the night was young. I could've called an Uber or took the ride but I was enjoying the way. I got home after 3am the night before. Moreover, a little before my stop I noticed a lady enter the bus with 2 or 3 backpacks and a bunch of books in hand. I hesitated about offering her one of my bags. Just before I walked off the bus, I cleared a cool NBC Short Cuts bag and offered her. I said, "You want a bag?" She said, "If you're not using it." Gave her the bag and she said, "Thank dude." From the outside of the bus looking through the window, I noticed her using it immediately. That alone was worth the walk.

Week 402: Echoes of Favor
Weekly Written Review
My booking and auditions are steady which is great. Nothing special there. I would say the coolest thing that happened this week was at The Grove. My friend and LuLu and I were walking around there and we stopped to look at the T-Rex statue. It was a Jurassic World 2 promotion. A few moments later a young lady approached us and said, I can give this to whomever I want and I choose you guys." She gave us an Amazon Echo. It's worth over $90.00. How cool is that! She was working for the promotional team and I don't know for sure why she chose to give it to us out of all these people. I am grateful. What a blessing. I don't know when I'll be able to fully use it because of lack of internet but hey, I got an Echo. LuLu gave it to me since she's moving soon :-(
