ROUGH WEEK!!!!
But first.... BOY DID I MISS YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!
Um... where to start.... well despite my 3 best friends bombing me with the fact that they are leaving L.A. in the next few months... like it's easy to find real friends here.... saturday morning.... a week ago.... I'm driving to work at 5:30am LA Time and calling my Mom in NJ like I do daily.... we talk for 15-20 mins and then work... well... NO ANSWER.... we planned the call so I call her cell... NO ANSWER then I call my brother who is working backstage on Bway on BURN THE FLOOR.... he says "I left Mom and hour ago, something is wrong. What do we do?"
"I'll call the police station and you call the neighbors. Who ever gets there first have them use the hidden emergency key!" (years of working in 9-1-1 call centers and I knew this little key would be needed some day"
So the neighbor gets in and my Mom is sitting at the Dining Room table, breathing, but unconscious... soooo ...... the ambulance gets there andher sugar dropped to 40.... she tried to open her eyes when they said her name, but we were so afraid it was a stroke. My Mom is a heart patient and well... a diabetic also... soooooo.... they give her the paste and revive her... poor thing wakes up and was so confused the neighbor told me.... but her first words were "Who are you? What are you doing here" WHERE ARE THE BOYS?".... when the neighbor told me this I started to cry... one was in NYC and the other in L.A. and well... we only have the three of us... sooooo.... we watch out for each other all the time and talk daily.... and well they would be the first thing I would ask for too.... sooooo that's us.... she's okay now after 4 days in hospital. I tried to get home to suprise them but they wanted to charge me 1200 dollars for the ticket... when I bought 2 tkts for $250 each just 4 weeks ago.... and they wanted to charge me $1000 to move them....they're for december.... what a rip off, but my brother was there in an hour at the hospital and only missed 1 day of work... was with Mom all 4 days... and 1 week later... they're dancing at my cousins wedding in NJ.
Sooooo this week we're all relieved.
Other than that all my world is about writing.... my latest pilot tv show MIGHT be produced in February.... it's a lot of fun and is gonna need pretty women.... NEIL... I'm recruiting you for the bar scenes as an extra we'll do it together.... NO PAY but my Manager is investing the money and favors... it's gonna be awesome if it gets pulled off.... it's described as the "male version of desparate housewives". Big meeting this week with an established director... sooo pray please.
But the coolest thing happening is my Manager is also hooking me up with my first web animated show.... all I can say is it's about ZOMBIES & VAMPIRES... I wrote the treatment last week and wrote 18 pages in the last 24 hrs after starting the script. This is all good... when I need characters I'm going to use your names... if you don't mind?
So that's been my world.... Work, Writing, Workouts and WORRIES..... I started a new diet too... fuckin doctor sells me protein bars I get to eat 3 a day and 1 sensible meal.... I'm ready to go on a 3 state killing spree.... but lost some pounds.... I do cheat on Sundays... at brunch with bottomless champagne.... NEIL knows what I am talking about....
So I'm buzzed as I type this thanks to the BOTTOMLESS glass of champagne I've been sipping since noon!
MISS YOU
LOVE YOU!!!!

bottomless champagne sounds like a dream! glad everything is ok with your mom.
I wish I lived in LA....I have a degree in performing arts and nothing to use it on!

L.A. lol... go to NYC first and learn the biz and do some theater... L.A. is the Olympics of Show Business with only a few working the rest are like JV Players hoping to crack the nut.... it's tougher here then it was in NYC and if you really want to come here... I'll show you the in ropes.... not that I'm a master... but I'm doin okay.
Bottomless champs... is a dream especially in the fishbowl glass they give you!

I am about ten minutes away from joining you on the champagne train. teehee. Best writing tool ever!
I am glad to hear your mom is alright. I can't imagine how scary that must have been. No wait. I can. I call my mom everyday as well and one day I couldn't get ahold of her on the house phone or her or my dad's cell phone. She called me back half an hour later to tell me that my dad had fallen off the roof when they were installing the new skylights and she was trying to get him to agree to go the hospital. That was a fun couple of days. Anyways, I'm glad that everything turned out okay with you and your mom.
I am so excited that your writing is going well!! Zombies & Vampires sounds like a dream. You are more than welcome to any of my myriad of names. Hell, I'll even let you use my birth name if you'd like.
Keep on truckin' and I'll see you on the other side.
<3

OMG!!! CHampagne Train seems to be leaving the station every hour on the hour lately! You can join me anytime! They don't have a Champagne Bar out here per say.... but if you're free for a Sunday Brunch u join us and I'll buy.... 2 SUndays ago brunch started at Noon and ended at 11:30 with pancakes in Los Feliz..... come have fun!
YOU SOOOOOO KNOW WHAT THE HOMEFRONT IS LIKE!!! Dad is okay right? Wasn't the most helpless feeling in the world to have loss that simple phone contact? I know all I have to do is use the phone like a tool and get it done, but I froze like a deer in headlights! Thanks for the well wishes! I hope your fam is well!
I'm psyched about this project... I think if we pull it off right it is going to get a lot of attention! I'm gonna work an Aiden in there!!!
Thanks again
