And she likes to call with good news.
But it’s been OVER A YEAR since I booked anything,
– I know I look tired these days, my eyes have these bags
– I’m less fit as I used to be (eating ice cream like er’y night!)

“How To Build Your Acting Business WITHOUT A Day Job”
Here’s For Your F*cking Conscience, and Your 3rd Party Bullshit.
I have several friends who are the hippiest of the hippies, and I love you all.
I have been having several conversations with you lately, being as patient and understanding as I can because you’re the good people.
The ones who want to bring the world better.
You want the world to do better and to be better.
And I have been keeping a lot of my truth from you in order to best see things from your perspective.
