DAY ZERO

Today I leave my home of 17 years and start fresh back in Los Angeles (my past home...). I am excited and scared, happy and sad, fresh-faced and worn-out. I leave behind my family and closest friends (Scott, Aaron, Erik, Richie, et al) and go toward my family and West Coast BFFs (Bob, Paul, Ernie, Mark, & Joe).

If you don't know why I'm doing this, it's simple: I am bound and determined to change my life for the better and to work doing what I do best - perform. I expect acting work, voice-over work, DJ'ing work sprinkled with a heapin' helpin' of rejection - yu can't have the yang without the yin.

Wish me luck.

Oh, and I've made a video of me, by me taken around NYC (and Jersey and CT) every day for the past 84 days. It was finished yesterday, but I've only had time to post today. You can either click here or watch after the jump. Enjoy.

I found myself mesmerized by the video. Its so simple yet oh so captivating. I dont know you personally but read the blog and have felt the same emotions. I "re-made" my life at an age older than you are now, despite friends and family who said I was crazy. Keep grinding away and good things will come to you.

This video is totally adorable. I enjoy reading your blog and hope that you continue to document your journey. Best of luck in LA. 2010 will be amazing for you.

Best of luck. I check in with your blog about once a week and adore your for your honesty and spirit. Your kinda wistful melancholy over the past year or so has really moved me. I, too, was a diehard NY'er for 17 years. For me, ego and identity were closely aligned with the city. Moving was terrifying and unknown. And yet here I am, 3 years later, living in the MN tundra, happier than I've ever been. Turns out, sometimes true joy is hidden in the unforeseen. Cheers!
