Weekly Written Review
So much to write about. Such little time. I need to breeze through this post so I can focus on other things. Last week I broke my phone and my partner gave me her phone. She offered it to me a while ago but I didn't know until recently that my phone carrier accepts unlocked phones. I honestly didn't know much about unlocked phones period. Furthermore, cracking my previous phone's screen actually ended up being a blessing. My new Galaxy S6 is fast, super smart and incredible. I love it. This reminds me of several forced blessings in my life. Earlier this year I was under the weather and that situation inspired me to buy my own electric teapot and to start cooking rice. Then there's that situation in July of 2017 where I didn't have a place to live for a week. I had to shower, so I got a YMCA membership. I was only homeless for 5 days and I've maintained my membership ever since. I kept it solely for basketball. It's absolutely great for my body and mind. I love the investment. Then recently a forced blessing with my phone. I don't recall ever paying over $100.00 for a phone. My previous phone was fine and I would have kept it until the end.
In other news, I'm done with trying to connect with people's minions. It got me nowhere so this week I began seeking out the source. I sent out an email to a couple of executives then I wrote a letter and handed it to a very wealthy man. The keyword fueling my motivation is, "equity." I mentioned that word to another executive in a text and it empowered the entire conversation.

Week 481: Attracting Powerful Phone Calls
Weekly Written Review
Development for my autobio pic is heating up. From considering locations, and conversations about potential funding. I haven't had a chance to truly focus on funding yet, thus, I've been able to attract two phone calls that could lead to money. I rather not get excited about those calls. I think they went well but they have to actually like and believe in my story to get the green light. There's a long road ahead but this certainly confirms that I'm on the right path.

Week 480: Producer Contact Check Ins
Weekly Written Review
At the top of this week, a producer followed up with me about my faithbased script. That's unheard of. I told my co-writer and we were delighted by her checking in. We actually have a script someone is interested in. That's incredible. We were still in the rewriting progress so we couldn't send the script yet. The short film that I started last week got in the way of our rewrites. At the top of week 481 completed the rewrite.
Later in the week, my writing partner officially became my producing partner. Things are looking up for my script and my autobio pic. Whoop! Whoop!

Week 479: Short Film - Care Package
Weekly Written Review
I started working on a short film this week. This is my first starring role in a short. I've avoided short films through my career and this experience confirms why. I enjoyed the camera time and most of the people but there were certainly a lot of things I didn't enjoy.
In other news, I received 3 surprise shipments this week. They all came from someone I met approximately 23 years ago. Someone whom I recently reconnected with. I was asked for my address so a card could be sent and shockingly I received boxes of my favorite foods. Very sneaky and thoughtful, I must say.
Sunday, November 17, 2019
* Team of Two 2 day 1
Monday, November 18, 2019
* Working on my autobio
* Post Office autograph sent off to Russia

Week 478: Life is Better with Audtions
Weekly Written Review
Auditions have proven to be a total waste of time throughout most of my journey. This week it became a total disrespect. Last week I auditioned for Cheetos. That brought some hope. I thought I performed decently. On Wednesday, I got a notice for a callback. That's exciting. I haven't had a callback in a long while. On Thursday, I left basketball a little earlier than usual for the callback. When I arrived, I noticed something odd on the sign-in sheet. I was the only person coming in for a second call. Everyone else on the list was auditioning for the first time. I waited for a while and finally, they called us in for an explanation. After that, I was the first one up and they couldn't find me in the system. It sounded like a similar problem I had at the first audition. They found my picture but couldn't locate my name to go along with it. Eventually, they realized my audition was a mistake. Today's audition was only for first calls. They somewhat apologized and sent me off. The real callback was the following Saturday and I never got a notice for it.
I've taken a lot of chances auditioning in the past and now fake auditions are deliberately wasting my time. I'm at the point where I rather not audition at all. Oh well. I just got to keep it moving. I'll still audition when my agent gets one for me but I honestly rather not.
