Acting Compared

Acting compared. Representation acting, or majority of stage acting, or the basics of what people think acting is. Presentation acting which brings reality to a role. Representation is to represent a character or to show the world how wonderful you are at mimicking other people. Presentational acting is to present yourself. Present yourself in that role, that character. You must live in front of the camera like no one else is looking. We want to see your inner most thoughts and actions. We don't want to see you go up there and act like you are going through a traumatic experience, we want you to go through it. Reality shows are becoming so popular because you get to see real human emotion and problems. Actors must take that to work, they must release their real emotions out to the camera, to the audience. Do not try to entertain or show off. Be selfless and reel. Ego's can get in the way..

Acting from your want..

  We search, fight, and love our way through life to find something to answer our need.  We have a want in life to fulfill.   What this peace is, you never know until you find it.  Your life begins because, we have to get what we want.  Your acting should always be focused on what you want, and or what your going to do to get it. 
 Acting, should be real.  If you never learn to play or act then your a step a head of any Joeshmo actor.  My acting coach, Aaron Spieser, never taught me to act.  He taught me how to live while people are watching...  Acting is not the way you act, or re-act.  It isn't playing a character.  It is "Creating life, in an imaginary circumstance."  You have to live... Be, as if your life has never changed.  Do not create a reaction or emotion so that it looks like you are affected.  Create the life and the human being that has lived that life.   Only then will this no longer  be making an emotion, but feeling it.
 SEEING YOUR FUTURE, RUINS YOUR LIFE.....By example, never look at a scene and decide how it should go.  By doing so you are putting yourself in a directors mind and not an actors.  An actor should never try to picture how their scene will turn out.  An actor should be living in a scene no matter where it goes.  If you decide where your scene should go before you see where it takes you, then you have taken anything interesting  that could happen, and thrown it out the window.  LIVE!! Let all of the work you put into creating a human being see where life takes you.

Want- Want will always get you from place to place.  If you know what you want in a scene then want will get you from the beginning to the end.  Want, will never lead you astray..

Some Old poems... New ones to come.


THE LITTLE THINGS(Friday, February 06, 2009)

Your cute when you snore
Your beautiful when you sleep.

I love your pretty nose 
Down your stinky little feet.

I love the faces you make 
when you brush your teeth.

I love when you tell me you love me 
and how you do it all the time

I love that I don't question myself 
and that you will always be mine.

I love that you sleep like a princess
all through the night.

I don't mind waking you up at 3pm
even though its a fight!

I love your little pompom 
when you put your hair on your head

I love when you rub you own nose
When your trying to go to bed. 

SOME DAY SOON (Tuesday, February 03, 2009)
I love what I see and I love what I feel.
I know what is in my reach will always be real.

To hold my heart is no simple task
Yet you do it with no guarding mask.

Knowing your mind and the honesty you posses
It gives me strength and furthers my success.

I give to you all that I can
And in the future I hope that you will take my hand.

With respect and love you have made me fall,
Through that I proudly stand tall.

You love who I am and what I have become
and I love that you grew up right where I am from.


 (Monday, January 07, 2008)
To find what you were never looking for 
To feel what you have never felt before
To want what you have never wanted before
To care like you have never cared before
To hurt like you have never hurt before
To live like you have never lived before
To die like you have never died before
To belong like you have never belonged before
To conect like you have never conected before
To trust like you have never trusted before
To honor like you have never honored before
All of which is To LOVE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER LOVED BEFORE
I LOVE YOU LIKE I HAVE NEVER LOVED BEFORE

Twists and turns are the road that life has made. 

Don't be scared of what it is, just call a spade... a Spade.

Take each turn as another angle to veiw life. With this you will realize that the raod is not bad unless you are speeding through it and not enjoying every bit of it.

Life is full of feelings.  They are not good, nor are they bad.

They just are.  If we did not have these feelings we would not be living.

Pain is what makes happyness so Happy.

Defeat is what makes Triumph so worth it.

A stepping stone to life may be tragedy.  If you don't step on that stone you may not receive the gift on the otherside.  That gift may become mediocre and you will pass it by.

If you want to hear god laugh...   Tell him your plan.

Sit back and enjoy the ride.  It maybe bumpy, but its just a trip to the otherside enjoy the scenery.  What ever it maybe.


Your dreams as it seems is the life that you left
For the heart that fell apart wasn't yours just yet.
You saw what you thought was you in your dreams
When all along it was your past in a fucked up stream.

Fly in the sky to reach the star that you are
Don't jump from the stump where your feet sit safely.
You will fall from the wall and never get what you were after.
To close the distance with persistance is what you want.

Don't awake for god sakes its not time to get up.
See what you can be when your time is in your mind.
Your heart can hurt but what you feel isnt' real
Or is your dream what it seams and your lifes not the fight 

Reality at times can strip away all your play 
To hide what you reep and keep it very deep
Is the plan that the man never wanted to do.
In the corner where you Mortre give away your life.
You will not burn in return but you will treasure your pleasure.

To trust. Is to open your mind body and soul to someone.
To let someone else hold your life in their hands. The judgment you use
to decide who is worthy must be strong. Its Hollywood. Aren't they all right for the Job?

I open my mind and let you in.
You rearrange my brain until I see no end.
Confused and broken I know not what to do.
You have seperated my trust into two.

My soul is open for you to share
I wouldn't have given you a part if you didnt care.
Tainted and miss colored you leave it be.
So fucked up does it even count as me?

My body is now yours to do as you wish.
Its empty and detached
My trust you have missed.
You can not hurt what does not exist.

Open your eyes
See the Water
Don't go near, it can drown you

Open your eyes
See the fire
Don't touch, it can burn you

Open your eyes
See the tiger
Don't touch him
He can bit you

Open your eyes
See the tree
Don't climb it
You can fall

Open your eyes
See the girl
Don't love her
She will break your heart

Open your eyes
See the light
Walk to it
Your dead!

Live in Fear
Waist your life
Live without
Die in Peace

Two Skies that hold the same sun
One is covered by rain and one Shines bright
Do I love the sky that is clear and holds no darkness
Do I love the sky that is clouded and drips the water that feeds the earth

Shining so bright that the earth is lit to see all
Dark and tangled so that you can see and look everywhere
So bright that you can't look directly at it
So dark that you can look anywhere but can not see

Neither are perfect and I love them both
Perfection holds no faults
Perfection becomes repetition 
Yet familiar and calming
Hate can not fix either sky 
Love can make your dark days bright
Together we can fix all things
As one sky can create a Rainbow

Equality


On the side of the road I sit
as rain falls and drips down my finger tips
Worlds waste is my space and my home
and my home is long gone.

The view from the street is as far from you
as the cancer that you can never get
your undestanding of me is the square inside the circle.
It will never fit.

I see you run and turn your face
I fear no one and except your grace
I take what I can get but will never have what I want

The hardness of the ground has never been so soft
Yet it is far from cozy looking down from your loft
I over power shame to stay in the game
I see the world from your feet
Where my home is your street.

Don't fear my world, it is what I create
the rainbow in my life is always my fate
my mind decides how my palace is shapped 
and from the worlds harshness I can now feel no hate.

Your brains may know grammer, science and math
where mine is my world, my heart, and it finds it's own path.

So fallow in the footsteps of greatness
but as you walk never forget to look down.
Don't step on me. My home is your ground.

People in need still have a life. We need to share what we can. Help someone this Holliday that you may not know. You may save a life with what you spend on gum.


 

TO THY SUN I REACH WITH OPEN ARMS
TO HOLD YOU TIGHT FAR FROM HARM

IN HOPES THAT COMFORT WILL KEEP YOU HERE
AND WITH MY BODY YOU WILL LOSE YOUR FEAR

MY SELFISHNESS KEEPS YOU FROM LIGHTING THE WORLD
I CAN NO LONGER TREAT YOU LIKE MY LITTLE GIRL

I REMOVE MY ARMS ONE BY ONE
AND HOLD BACK MY LOVE LIKE THE TRIGGER TO A GUN

I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE TO RECIEVE YOUR RAYS
AND CHERISH YOUR LIGHT AS LONG AS IT STAYS

NOW GO OUT AND FEEL FREE TO SHINE
I WILL NEVER HOLD YOU BACK 
EVEN WHEN I FEEL YOU SHOULD BE ALL MINE. MINE . MINE.
9/11 PRAYERS(Monday, September 11, 2006 )
Twins were the friends that once stood alone.
When they fell from the sky
It hit us close to home
Through the terror of life they were torn to bones
When life became death it made a nation charish home

When your mind becomes selfish and your choices are all your own
Terror can bring you back to realize none of us are alone
Your family is your heart and your friends are your future

If your life becomes clouded and your heart is a dark grey
Your love is unfelt and we all become prey

Never forget 9/11 or our familys weve lost
Lead your life with love and remember the cost

Our debts are paid and our wars were faught
The lessons we have learned can never be taught

Forever our prayers go up to the sky
and our dreams of 9/11 will force us to cry
Our safety in life can not be your main worry
Ejoy every day and do not rush tomorrow in a hurry.


NOT MINE(Sunday, August 27, 2006)
The world is not mine. I know
When I open my eyes and see your sun.
It burns me..
When I touch your ocean and salt covers my wounds.
I cry..
When the world turns I go with it and my life flips upside down.
When your world is beautiful I am its Prisoner.
When love spreads across your globe and caresses the sky.
I am forced in a cave to hide and I don't know why.
When the trees change and leaves fall so do I
because you are my world
That which I cannot hide.

I return to my cave so that the world can live its life.

If I were you... (relationships) with a twist of comedy.

First off lets think about a relationship like a sports team.  If someone isn't pulling their weight, or if someone isn't showing up to practice, or if someone isn't any good at the fucking game, kick them off the team!!!
Don't get into a relationship to change the other person.  People are who they are.  If it's a small thing, ok, it may change.  However, if he/she is a cheater he/she will probably always be a cheater. He or she hits you..  IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE/SHE LOVES YOU!   YOU F*&K^%G RETARD! Trust me, if a guy isn't ready for a relationship you are not going to change him, nor will you have a great relationship.  If he is mean or acting like he isn't that interested in you after a while it is because he probably wants out of the relationship but does not want to be the one to break it up.  He wants to give you reason to make it not work.

Never rush a relationship!  It's like trying to play for the Majors with a T-ball player.  He or she is still hitting off a T and your throwing balls at his or her face.  Trust me if you throw a ball at a chicks face and she catches it really quick "in her mouth"  keep her for  another week, then get rid of her.  I can go on for ever about relationships, so if you have any questions please ask. 

A great relationship starts with trust, honesty, and being well spoken.  No one is a mind reader, so if you have a problem don't be afraid to bring it up.  Your both in the relationship for the same reason.  To make it work.  If your not, don't get in the damn relationship.  If you think it's fun for a little while go ride a mechanical bull instead.  Or go to Les Deux(hollywood club) and find a mate for the night, but don't get into a serious relationship if you don't see a chance of you marrying the other person.  Just date, and keep it light.

Ok, thats it in a nuttshell for now.  I am sure I didn't cover a lot of stuff, but I am also sure you have a short attention span!
