Life is Good

Went to a local baseball game with the parental units and some friends tonight. It was nice to get out and cheer and heckle and eat stadium food and drink beer (they had Amber Boch on tap. Woot!)

So, I don't know if the official statement has been released to the masses yet, but I've been talking about it for a while.

So, the official statement is this: In October, I'm moving to LA! I've set many goals for myself since graduating from high school, accomplished them all and even done a few unexpected things. So, it is now time to strive for that goal which burns the brightest in my heart.

I'm saving my nanny money, and I'm going to see a man about a job tomorrow, hoping for some decent weekend hours. I'm going through all the material goods in my life trying to discern which warrant a spot in the "keep" pile. Let me tell you, preparing for a move across the country without the luxury of using someone else's bank account is a daunting challenge! But, I'm totally jazzed and can't wait to get my talented rear end (along with the rest of me) out there!

Now, for those who know me the best (or even a little) you may be wondering "why LA? Why not the great white way??"

Well, if I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I'm not cut out to be a huge musical Broadway talent. At least, not yet. I don't have the dance skills or the pipes to make it. I'm going to focus my energies on my one true talent; acting. Be it comedic, melodramatic or anything in between, acting is what I know I can do. Now, I know that there's more to Bway than just musicals, but when was the last time you went to NYC and said, "No, I don't feel like seeing *insert favorite musical here* ... let's go see Hedda Gabbler instead!"

...yeah, I didn't think so.

So, that's where I'm at right now. I'm doing my homework on agents and auditions and moving costs and everything I can think of.

Bring it on.
