Hello Los Angeles
Well I know it's been awhile since I've written a post and that's because not a damn thing has really happened to write about. I moved down to LA on January 7th and it was the worst experience of my life.
First, I had to rent a truck a bigger truck than I'm used to and a car carrier. It rained the entire time I had to pack the truck and the entire drive down to LA. And of course, it was the weekend when LA was flooding due to all the rain. So I'm trying to drive a huge truck with a car trailer through mountains while it's storming. I've never had so much stress in my life. And when I stress out, I tend to fall asleep, so driving while sleeping didn't help the situation out much at all.
So after loading, driving, and unloading in the rain, I finally moved into my new apartment with my homeboy Chris. I've known Chris for about 4 years now. We met in college and did a tv show together. He's also trying to make it as an actor. He's one of my best friends and he gives the best back massages. He really knows how to use his hands with that oil... oh wait, I must sound really gay right now. Well let me rephrase what I said, he gives ok back massages depending on how much he uses his tongue... dammit.
But all kidding aside, hahaha...sigh... the place is great, a lot bigger than my last place. People always ask where in LA we are, and honestly I don't know how to describe where we are. We are in LA. We don't live in Chinatown or Koreatown or Mexicantown (aka most of LA). We live near all of that though. We are inbetween Koreatown and Hollywood. We're a few miles from Beverly Hills and a few miles from Hollywood and Koreatown and Downtown. We live right off of Melrose and the 101, so everything is close by. If you go down a couple of blocks and you'll be in the latin area, go the other way and you'll be in thai area and korea area. So we're in the mix of everything.
So this past month I haven't done much unfortunately. I was sick most of January so I haven't been able to perform. I've been contacting people and trying to line stuff up, but nothing has happened yet. I've sent off a few packages to agents and a comedy manager I've talked to. Hopefully someone signs me soon. A guy I've worked with before is setting up a meeting with his agent for me, so hopefully I'm back to auditioning soon.
Besides that, my life is pretty boring. I live like a retired person. I wake up late, go to sleep late. Sit around and watch tv, play videogames, check email. The highlight of the day is going downstairs to check the mail. I run any errands I might have. I try to do something once a day, otherwise there's little hope of me putting any clothes on. With an empty day everyday, you try to find things to entertain you. I never realized how much masterbation one could get done in one day. 10 times in a day. It was a great 10 mintues that day.
Some of you probably are like why don't you get a job. Well that's a good question. My response to that is why don't you mind your own freakin business. Naw, actually I'm living off the money I saved up from doing commercials last year (THANK YOU SPRINT). So I'm good for most of the year. If I don't get any work by the summer then I'll look into getting a part time job. But for now I want to try and make it as a full-time comedian and actor. The hard part is getting representation.
So I live a pretty boring life right now, though it's better than working everyday (HAHA WORK IS FOR SUCKERS). I'm trying to make some friends, but it's hard when your a shut-in. I've gotten more brave and have ventured out into the area. Before I wouldn't go out of my 5 mile safety zone, but now it's up to 6 miles (GO ME).
I've been to a few clubs. I went to club XES (that's SEX spelled backwards, how clever). Let's see, parking was $20 and the club was $20, plus drinks. So yeah, I can go out once ever 3 months at that rate. Apparently, nobody in LA goes out to a club unless they're on a guestlist. So I got to feel like a real loser being the first one in line and then when they asked me and Chris what guestlist we were on, we were like uh, none, we're just here. Then we tried to explain why we weren't on a guestlist cuz we were new to the area and so we really weren't losers, we just didn't have any friends. The lady took pity on us and let us in. The club was great. I look forward to saving up money and going back in June :(
Well I will keep my posts going since I have nothing else to do. I'll keep you guys posted on my adventures in LA. Hopefully I'm able to keep posting, but if another damn person honks at me, I may be in prison for a few years. I think that all cars in LA should have their horns taken out. People use them way too much. There should be a law that makes it to where if someone uses their horn, the other people around them are allowed to walk up and bitch slap them. It would make the day much more pleasant.
