At some point I feel as if busy has become the norm. I just shot my scenes in a short film in New Bedford Pa where I play a character named "Archibald". I also just recently finished the rough draft of a short story currently titled "No Matter What" which is about a horror story about a dog and his family, and I am about to begin working on a new song for the "Lyrics and Melodies" project. I just moved in to a new home so I am trying to get settled in while keeping everything going. Two very low budget independent films I have done under the direction of Richard Vasquez titled "Your Pomegranate" and "After the Funeral" are both available for free viewing on You Tube. In "Your Pomegranate" I play an Anger Management counselor and "After the Funeral" I play the character "Chris" brother of the one that the title is about. The special thing about the film "after the Funeral" is that the whole film is improvised. We were told, what is going on but that was it. It was a good challenge and I was able to work with some very well rounded improve actors.
I am starting to get comfortable in my own skin as I realize how I can get all the things done that I want to get done. I have always been a person that has one million ideas going through my head at one time. They may not all be great ideas, I am definitely the first to admit that. I can certainly obsess over an idea, and when I excitedly explain the idea I can certainly see the look of disinterest on the persons face. I suppose it doesn't matter though. A lot of my ideas may also be accidentally offensive, Accidentally because some people don't realize what exactly I am trying to accomplish with my goal and art. "My art" being the key words I suppose. If all artist did the exact same kind of art without adding our own feelings and emotions into it there really wouldn't be any need for any of us. Artistic expression may be the most important part of art and it may also be the most ignored. Artistic expression sometimes also leaves me scared to introduce my art to others because of fear that they may not get it. Which has definitely happened before. However, at this point. I don't really care. I don't aim to offend. I aim to get it out of my system before it all clutters up in my mind and drives me crazy. Characters, Stories, Poetry, Songs, and other random thoughts.
Anyway, I think I have finally figured out how to operate and get it all done. One thing at a time. So please stick around and continue to visit my webpage for updates. Get on my mailing list. I am planning to flood the world with my imagination cause I think I finally know how to get it all out and I hope you all enjoy it.

Back from New Bedford Pa.
Hello! I'm back from New Bedford Pa. With a little bit of a sore throat!
It's okay though. I had an amazing time in Pa with this crew and cast
and especially all of the background actors. What a wonderful group of
people. With luck I will end up back on the set with all of these people
again. As I have always said, anyone that is in a scene is the star of
that scene. The background actors really make the shoot as "real life"
as possible and they are a huge part of the movie magic.
This group of background actors really rocked it in front of the camera
and off camera and really helped to make this shoot as wonderful as it
was. I was also able to work with some really wonderful actors as well-
Michael Jaccobs and Marc Goodman. This was all done under the direction of Joseph Pattisall
and Angel Sepulveda. Two completely amazing Directors that i hope every
serious actor will have the opportunity to work with and Peter Sawyer
for giving us an amazing script and for all of his hard work in
bringing this amazing script to life. This was a grand experience. Thank
you all.

Today's Sunday School Class
At the end of the school year my Sunday School class will have a CD full
of songs with them singing. Today my Sunday School Class will be
recording "Jesus loves me" with the help of the amazing engineer Alexander Steele.
The opening verse will be performed by my 5 year old student. He was
excited about this last week. I hope the long stressful week of
Kindergarten hasn't changed his excitement. I thank God that I am given
the opportunity to teach children, not only the word of God, but also
incorporate what I know as an artist into my teaching.

January 4, 2015 Happy New Year
Well hello 2015. I have made it this far.
I have erased this about 3 times because I keep thinking... This is a blog and I have to have it a certain way or it will not be "blogged" correctly. This is a problem. In reality I am not writing to win any awards so I don't personally care. I am laying these words out there to keep people updated with what is goin on in my life and with different projects and to keep myself knowing that there is stuff to get done this year. With as busy as things were last year I managed to leave a couple of projects incomplete. While I wait to hear back about some films I might as well get some of these things done.
Creepshow styled story about the dog is almost done. I plan on that being completed soon. Then I have a couple more stories I will be writing to go with it. I plan on doing a Creepshow styled anothology and I hope to do it right. I feel like there is a certain feel that these stories has to have and I think I have that feel for it.
I am 25000 words into a novel currently titled "A Doll in the Woods" that I need to recommit myself too.
Finished work on an audiobook
Children's book under the name of Uncle Cee
All my regular Slo Frank and Monster Madhouse stuff
Preparing my lessons for Sunday School
"Love" audio Project
Lyrics and Melodies projects
Super Secret Project
This does not include the films I am signed on to do this year and there are a couple of other things....
On top of that it seems like I need to continue my promotion..... That is going to be my number 1 priority in Ent I think. I need to do each of these things one at a time too.... One at a time...... Then after it is done and I am perfect with it........ promote promote promote.
This is going to be a crazy year!
