Remember Your Dreams

"Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure. Never forget your Personal Legend. Never forget your dreams. Your silent heart will guide you. Be silent now. It is the possibility of a dream that makes life interesting. You can choose between being a victim of destiny or an adventurer who is fighting for something important." Paul Coelho

That is a quote that I found on my Starbucks' cup from Paul Coelho, author of The Alchemist (one of my favorite books). I thought I'd share it.

Here is a picture of me accomplishing one of my many dreams:

(No, not death. I had always dreamed of attending the Academy Awards, and not only was I there last year...I also got to lay next to Oscar on the Red Carpet! My "updated" Oscars dream is to be be nominated...and win!!!)

I hope all is well!

Happy 2007!!!

What doesn't say "Happy New Year" like two old men, Cinderella, and a mouse? I thought this pic was a fitting way to bring in 2007 (don't ask why)...

I hope that you all had a wonderful 2006. Last year seemed to bring its share of troubles for many folks, but it is my hope if you faced any hurdles, that you were able to overcome them and grow as a result.

2006 was a lovely year for me. It had its challenging moments, but overall, I look at the past year as a blessing. I have grown as an actor, climbed the later somewhat at Disneyland, drove a Wave Runner all summer long at SeaWorld, won $1,000 from KIIS FM, made my commerical voiceover demo, became SAG Eligible, worked on the American Music Awards for 5 weeks, visited my old home town in Colorado, and moved to Santa Monica. Good times. I hope you also had much to be thankful for in 2006.

I propose that since it is 2007, we do one of 2 things. (1) Begin each week with the viewing of a James Bond film; or (2) Become secret agents and ask for our drinks "shaken, not stirred"...even if our drink is merely a Cherry Coke. Think about it and get back to me.

Regarding any updates, I was recently cast in a play at the Long Beach Playhouse entitled "Play On!" It opens on Feb 16th and plays through March 24th and should be a riot. Let me know if you'd like to check it out. Other than that, I've been playing my share of "old-school" Super Nintendo games (I never advanced to these new fangled video game systems).

I hope 2007 is finding each of you well and in good health. I also hope this proves to be a year full of joy, blessings, good memories, and living life to the fullest!
