9:59 am	Acknowledging this necessary Time of Growth Things I need to change about myself: Spend less time on Facebook/MySpace Spend less money on things I won't remember after 2 weeks (i.e., the so-called "coffee dates", crappy movies, nutrients-lacking foods, etc.). Spend less time trying to get to know new people Spend more time forging stronger bonds with people currently in my life, because in doing that, I'll learn loyalty, faithfulness, and how to develop a deeper emotional root. Set aside money for savings, rewarding myself with an inexpensive trip here or there. Take a few hours to myself for introspection, meditation, or prayer each month. Learn when to take things at face value, and appropriate times to read into situations. Eat more healthy by incorporating vitamin supplements into my diet and complimenting them with bountiful portions of water (which is allegedly the seed of life), and maybe keeping my heart in check by purposefully increasing its beats per minute in a regulated manner. Learn how to respect myself enough to say 'No' to invitations when I have better things to do with my time, for instance sleeping or finishing the many books I've begun to read. (Comment on this)

1:08 am	"A woman should be so lost in God that a man has to go through Him to find her." Another thought altogether.. mainly about gifts and talents: "God first tells you what he has given you before he tells you what He wants you to do with it." (Comment on this)

3:52 am	I bought Halo 3. I wonder who I'll be in 6 months.. or even 6 weeks. Hopefully it won't consume my life.. Why did I get it again? (Comment on this)

3:49 am	I suppose there comes a time in every LiveJournaling person's life when he or she goes back to read past posts to re-experience, in a fashion, emotions, memories, thoughts, conversations, etc. That time came to me tonight. The ups and downs of life are mind-boggling. So are the effects of love, as evidenced by my writings about Jodi. I wonder if anyone has accused me of having an addictive personality yet (did I use that term properly?).. Jodi, Guild Wars, alcohol, God? I wouldn't mind so much being addicted to God. What does that mean? I'm tired, and off to bed now. Ahh, sweet reminiscent 4AM's. Current Mood: relaxed (Comment on this)

2:46 am	another long shoot today Well dearest LiveJournal, we shot several scenes today- all and all, it easily lasted 10 hours! We took care of several dialogue-only scene, but (most specially) we tackled the 'big' fight scene.. that's a lot of work! i quickly realized why a lot of actors don't like doing their own stunts, and why some older actors stay away from the action genre! Without giving out any specifics, tonight's fight scene called for a little trash talk, a punch to the face, a couple kicks while on the ground, and there's a gun involved at the end. No more than 2 minutes on screen- and mostly dialogue- but we spent a good 4 hours on it! Take after take, punch after punch, and kick after kick, we shot from different angles, with multiple camera's, just about ruined a shirt and pair of pants. It was sweet!! Writing doesn't do the experience justice.. No words I could piece together could capture the wonder I felt throughout the day, nor the pain of digging out dozens of splinters, nor the joy of scrubbing the dirt off my face when I returned home. T'was a great learning experience. I'll have to learn how to bite my tongue even while in character. The Bloopers Reel will show more cursing coming from me than I care to admit. And tomorrow, we're to shoot the opening scene of yours truly working up a sweat whilst running/jogging. Fun times ensue! On a side note, Woman in Black rehearsals are continuing Monday- I'm excited to grow out my moustache once again and get off book! (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:11 am	Alan Hickey Apparently, there are 3 Alan Hickey's in Ireland. One is/was a political prisoner Another is a chef at ritzy restaurant The third appears to be a ladies man a few years older than yours truly. There's an Alan Hickey on IMDb.com... but still no picture. I need to get to acting! (Comment on this)

12:36 am	Tonight was the official read through of Lady in Black. I auditioned for it Monday and Tuesday, and left each night feeling disappointed in my performances. Yesterday changed my lowered self-esteem when I received the call from Dr. Alex Pinkston saying I was selected to play the part of "Kipps". Kipps is the lead! It's a HUUUUGE respsonsibility in that it has the most lines, and most stage time of any play I've been a part of to date. It opens in just a little over a month- October 4th. It'll play for only two weeks, but did I mention it's at the Ocala Civic Theatre? Hmm :-) Briefly then, God's still my King, Paul is back- for good, Math class will be passed, Got the lead role in a play, Olive Garden is still super cool, No potential love-interests (no complaints, either), Natalie is doing well, Guild Wars: Eye of the North will be released today (sans Jodi=sans fun) :-\ (On the bright side, with Paul came his XBox360, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) Does that cover everything? God, Family, School, Acting, Job, Girls, Car, Games... ah friends! Hmm. I need to work on my communication with them. Shame on you, Alan! Shame! I'll make phone calls in the next couple weeks. Hopefully. On a quick side-note, something I heard Sarah say has been on my mind recently- about God's faithfulness. I'm beginning to see it's meaning. Sleep! Current Mood: overjoyed?

1:57 am	Well it's done- but not like I thought it would happen. Looks like there's someone else in her life. Looks like I was just a good time to last until her trip to Romania. Looks like I was wrong about a number of things... Looks like, looks like, looks like ...well, Alan, Looks can be deceiving. (Comment on this)

12:23 am	This Too Shall Pass Dear LiveJournal, Sarah and I are breaking up. "Are" because we're still in the process. We haven't set a date, we're looking at next November. Not really, but definitely before her two-month missions trip to Romania. I think God wants it that way, and it makes sense from a logical standpoint. Once gone (to college), the relationship would be longer distance than that of Jodi and mine- and 45 minutes was too far for me. Palm Beach Atlantic, in West Palm. Three and half hours away. I know! But I need that physical affection for security. I wonder how long it'll take me to start second-guessing myself. Doubt is a killer... It's the antithesis of faith. What would be the synthesis? "Logic," I bet is what most people would say. Ugh, Rambling. Sleep. Au revoir, Alan Oh, and today's performance was probably was the worst of my entire life. And I hurt a fellow actor and brother in Christ in more ways than one. First, I broke character, which made Jake break character, stole his stage presence, threw a shoe at hime, destroyed his focus, and robbed him of his joy. Unintentionally. I'm unprofessional.

9:07 am	Colossians 3:23-24 (KJV) 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. I'm a server at Olive Garden. It is my job to serve. I can usually find joy in doing just that, but frustration can cloud my joy- particularly when my guests don't allow me to shine; when they don't allow me to show how good I can be; when they make more demands before I can physically meet some of the old ones. I will probably bring them that refill before they ask for it if they just give me a chance to prove myself. I think God works through other people in similar ways, and I think we often times don't allow that person the chance to serve God through serving us. When someone offers help, and we refuse to accept it, we're not only hurting ourselves but that person; for all we know, that person may have been led by the Holy Spirit to talk to us. Hardening our hearts and ignoring the way God wants to work in our lives (again, through other people, because we know He does that a lot) is not the proper response. Let us then encourage the person trying to help us by letting them do it! (Comment on this)

Said person is: A. seeking advice to make a decision. B. seeking attention C. seeking approval for a potential decision D. creating unnecessary conflict; decisions should be made independently.

10:38 am	This is my first public post in a while. It's time for me to face the facts, so I actually clicked the "View Friends Page" to see what's going on. She seems okay. It didn't hit me like last time until a phone call a few days ago, but I'm doing okay now. I'm sure a few dinner friends caught on. I just sent a text message to see if she's available tomorrow. If it's too soon, I'll just have to keep trying- so watch out for that :-P Anyway, off to lunch and Moliere workshop. Then math, and more Moliere, and Rondo's? I hate that place. (Comment on this)

3:30 pm	Too much, too fast I really don't feel like writing complete sentences, so here's a list of incomplete thoughts that may or may not make sense to me in the future: too much, too fast; embarassment and shame; sadness that last night wasn't the high quality time we need; Love; random text message; very cool gift from Chad; New Phone!!!!; spent more money than I should have on alcohol; alcohol = bad for Hickey's; Overall a bad idea (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:52 am	the transition from republican to democrat ...has occured tonight, at dinner with Jodi and a phone conversation with my father. Fritanga's has tasty food and provides enough time for Jodi to discuss the stereotypical republican and for me to tell her how she's oversimplifying politics and can't base her ideas of an entire organization on a handful of people. I also apologized to her for giving the impression that I always have to be right, and that I will strive to take a step back from our next ..eh.. verbal disagreement-esque quarrel and admit my faults- all the while maintaining my level-headedness and pointing out the illogical points of her arguments. I still love you, Jodi. and thanks for being so magical. (Comment on this)
