I have not written a blog in god know's how long. So here goes. Since we have last spoken i have now relocated to Los Angeles California YAY FOR ME. I have been staying with my korean home slice Mr Asian Mario Lopez Himself ..... Robert Hatfield. on June the second i purchased my grandpas `1998 Ford Crown Victoria. Loaded up what little of my stuff I had left. Said goodbye to my dogs and my family and friends, and headed west, but now without alot of emotions being involved. I hade a 2200 mile trip ahead of me and a hell of a trip it was. I saw alot of native american's some cool desert scenery. I went through Illinous , Missouri , Oklahoma , Texas , New mexico , Arizona and landed in West Hollywood. The last few weeks have been spent mostly job searching. I got my California Guard card. Ive had a couple interviews and put an arseload of applications in. I met a couple really awesome people since I have been here. Ridden and walked all over most of west hollywood. Driven to burbank and Van Nuys. Went to the ghetto once. Helped Robert fix his car. I have taken any classes or been to any auditionms yet. I did submit for some stuff online though. I am getting some professional headshots soon so i can trudge forward. Saw a lot of crazy homeless folks. Some normal homeless folks. and some people that are just crazy. I guess that pretty much somes it up until today.
Today I woke up aroound 9:30 ish? I hopped on my Computer and played on it for a while. I looked for places to get a job. I found a few so i got in my car and drove to wilshire and went inside the building and went up the elevator to suite this security place is in. She proceeded to tell me that " Due to company policy she can not give me an application to fill out because you are wearing a t-shirt". Im like wtf??? So I said thank you and turned around and walked out. That kind of stupid to me but hey I am from Kentucky. I got into the elevator pushed number 1 and it shut the doors and started going down. When it hit the sixth floor it jerked and stopped for about two seconds then kept going, so it landed on number one and as i waited for the doors to open. Nothing happened. So being mister fix it after about five minutes I looked at all the pushign started pushing them all and cursing at it and still....... nothing happened. So I hit the telephone button and it rang to some outside elevator stuck person service and i told her what was going on. She then contacted security and they came on knocked on the door to see about me and i said hey im in here and waited. Then the damn thing went up to the second floor and let me out. Wierd stuff. So i went down down a different elevator. Im no dummy you arent gonna get me stuck twice. And get the hell out of there. The i went to a strip club to put an application in and drove back to the apartment. Crappy day but hey atleast im in L.A.

Music makes the world go round
I am not sure what in the hell i would do without music. I listen to music all the time. Especially at work when I am turning wrenches. When I am working out riding my bike driving what ever .
I should have asked what the difference in the methods of acting exactly are to Kaptain Kathryn (my teacher) . Honestly it never crossed my mind. I was reading a book tonight at Barnes and Noble discussing great acting teachers. It basically told the differences within the main three. I understand it a lot better plus I think Stella Adler fits me much better then Strasberg or Meisner.
Man my dang font keeps changing WTH?
So I am sitting at the mall one day and watching people walk by. why in the hell did they bring the 70's hair and 80's pants back? The hair's not bad. But the pants Are so tight the next generation wont be able to have kids because they are killing their nuts with such tight pants!!!!! I keed i keed.
Im going to see my first Live theatre even on Valentines day I am pretty syked on it. I will be watching The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams.
Its crazy how having a bad or weird child hood effect people so far into their adult hood. I know the way my dad acted and was not around , i have decided that when i do have kids I am gonna be the best damn father on the face of the earth no matter what it takes !!
Ask any of my cousins and they will tell you without a second thought that my family is absolutely effing nuts!!!
Ive got to develop a method or discover one to help me better memorize things. If i do live theatre I am gonna be in trouble if i don't.
I am glad that i kept my over active imagination form my child hood. I still sit and day dream and daze off just like i did when i was in school.
I must sleep weird blog tonight sorry. A lot of stuffing floating around in my dome.

One off the Bucketlist!!!
Well This past Sunday was my birthday.......... Lets just say if i had a bucket list and number Seven on the list was have the crappiest birthday ever!!! I could mark that one off. plus its the first birthday ever that I didint get anything.
For almost ten yea I've been trying to figure out what I want to be or even who I am ......after taking some classes and doing God knows how many different jobs and after becoming a professional automotive Tech. I now know what I want to do or even who I am..... I am an Actor! Acting is what I'm going to do whether it be film television or theater . This is what I am . Its glad to finally be sure of something.
I like to sit and people watch. Its cool how people have these little ticks and stuff they do with out even realizing it. Like how little kids act when they get hyper . They all act different. Like when my grandma wants to know something she wont ask it. She will just be like well Gregory i wonder and kinda dance around it.
This year is off to a crappy start it must get better..........

"Either I act or I die." Al Pacino
Heeeeyyy!! I have been sitting on my butt almost three weeks. It is about to drive me completely crazy. Craziness will only help me come to think of it. I think Sean Connery said it best when he said "As an actor , you need to make a complete ass of yourself". I think that is totally true.
I guess this is a place where I get thing out that have been on my mind. Possibly discuss things that bother me. Like most males of my generation. I have a lot of father baggage. He was never around and told me lies and blah blah blah the normal sorry bastard father stuff. I think that kind of effected me some. In both good and bad ways. That's all I've got to say about that.
I keep talking about this. I know its probably annoying ,but I have this drive that's either puching or pulling me to Los Angeles. I don't know. I have never in my life felt such urge that i needed to do something. Honestly i dont care what I have to do to get there. I will take a bus and live in a hotel if i have to with nothing....
I definitely want to find some cool places to hang out when im cooling my jets. I have a book called "Acting is Everything an Actors Guidebook for a Successful Career in Los Angeles".
It has a list of hangouts , Talent Agencies , things to do , even dentists and doctors. I think I should take some martial arts classes and possibly some yoga so i can do some of my own stunts. I am hoping that since I don't strictly have an acting background it will give me resume a little color. I have had jobs in everything from food service to manufacturing to auto mechanics to building houses. Mostly blue collar jobs. I'm sure with enough research and a lot of stubbornness I will be able to be anything!!!!!
I am about a month behind on my budget. Come hell or high water...... I will be in Los Angeles by spring time. Woohooo

Did you hear that? Duuuude that was my head ahhehehe!!
Hello. After two weeks of not working and lying around sleeping and such...........I don't feel half bad. I have been thinking alot , which i seem to do a lot lately. I have developed a case of tunnel vision.Ive got wheels again. The white S10 beater to the left!! Low rider mexican style.
I have been trying like hell to get into contact with people who live in Los Angeles. Most Ex celebs and current ones. Most of them kind of blow me off. Which is fine and understandable no hard feelings.
I need to concentrate on finding a place to live and a job now. I wish I had some friends moving with me. I think it would be a little easier. But i might be better off by myself. I have two short films I am auditioning for when he contacts me back. Also one feature length film im auditioning for as well. Im pretty syked on both of them. Not much else to say since ive been sitting on my arse for 2 weeks. I will say one thing though. Im sooo ready to get back to the damn gym!!!

Oh crap im gonna hit a cat swerve SEMI??? FU^%^%^*&^%^%%$###$# i hit a semi!!!

Well Monday night sucked. I rear ended a park semi . I got slammed into the windshield , the steering wheel, and my shoulder tore up the dash. Picture to the left. I feel crappy. I have a concussion and messed up wrist and ankle plus a sore body. I have physical therapy tomorrow and i hope something is found or what ever. Th Hardin memorial hospital is complete garbage. They didn't check anything but my head. Even though i informed them about everything else. The doctor's office is just as crappy they didn't even look at anything.
Why is it that i have female friends that i talk to when they are single. As soon as they start dating or talking to someone they drop off the face of the earth and i never hear from them?? I confuses me. Maybe I'm a douche bag? Nah that cant be it,
I have basically been sitting on my arse for the past week. I will be so siked when i can go back to work and the gym.
Not everyone that hangs out in a bar is a jerk of douche bag. I have met a couple people in a bar that were pretty cool. Probably make good friends. You can never have to many good friends.
I need to either fix my car or truck that I have or buy something else so i can get on my 2200 mile drive to California.
I have been thinking about acting a lot this week. Big surprise huh.!?!?! I want to have a large range. I dont want to be a one dimensional actor. Hell 2 or 3 even. I want to be able to be the nice guy next door. The jealous women beater white trash guy .The serial killerthat dresses up liek a clown . The lunatic homeless guy who talks to floating turds. Even the most spectacular Joker that the Batman has ever matched wits with. I don't know how im gonna be able to do this. Yet. I will figure it out. Mark my words. Its on!!
