Dina and I went out last night and tied one on. I know people say all of the time that their not young any more. I realize that I'm not 70 but it is interesting in how in only ten years, my body takes an entire day to recover. I got to bed at about 5:30am and didn't even leave the house until 5pm. That is no bueno. It is so sad that I had no idea where my ibuprofen was at. It was not pretty.
I did however meet someone last night. It wasn't the normal run of the mill meeting that happens normally in L.A., it was something of substance. Even if it only happens to be a brief encounter, it was well worth the time. I hung out with him, a friend of his and his two beautiful dogs and it just felt so comforting. We were up on the roof and It was a very serene moment in time. This is a lack of better words because I was a little drunk. When I say a little, I really mean a lotta.
I got some time to meet and learn about a new fantastic person and find comfort that I was there when he needed someone to listen. Again, if this ends up happening to be this one night occurrence with him, it will still be complete.
Here's the part though where I pull a "Potter" and ruin it before it even has a chance to gestate. After he dropped me off at my house, and we had a glass of wine, I walked him to his car and kissed him good bye. All is well, I give him my card, I put his number in my phone, and say goodnight after we make plans to have lunch today. As I am getting into my apartment,I go to text him a cute msg goodnight and here is where our problem begins..... I didn't actually save his number. What a nincompoop I am.
Well, in my drunk stupor, I panicked, looked for him on facebook, found his friend and sent him a friend request. Keep in mind, it is 5am. I then calmed myself down, went to bed, and when I awoke,I looked on facebook again, found him and sent a message. I then called a no-named number that was saved in my phone and after I left a message, I still didn't know if this was his number. I am ridiculous!!!
So, now that I am on the threshold of stalker status, we'll see if I have the pleasure of seeing him again. If not, then that is that an I have grown to be a better person for the experience I was given last night
Find out what's on my mind and what is going on my life. Or, maybe just drop a note and tell me what you think.

1st official preview to "I have 3 kinds of hiccups"
I don’t know why I chose to move to Vegas. People back home still ask me why I moved to Vegas and I always answer with some bull shit like I needed a change, it was inexpensive and I could find work or my best, I really like their theatre department at UNLV. I didn’t even look at their department until I began the transfer process that fall. I was fortunate though, it is an amazing program and I actually did get in.
The truth is, I don’t really know why I moved there. I do know however, that I was twenty years old and I was itching to conquer the world and when I was without a home for the following school year up at UWEC, I jumped. Yes, I was hurt by certain people in the process, but that little hiccup was nothing but a feather in the road as I approach thirty. That moment was one of the defining factors in my life. That moment is equivalent to me learning to walk or drive. I was learning a new vehicle in my life, the vehicle of self empowerment. This vehicle of self empowerment was not consciously inside me before that moment. This vehicle had been in its own little corner of my being and when it came out, it came out!
Once I said it, which was to one person at 9:30 am during an opening shift at Houlihan’s the last Sunday of Christmas break, it was done. My words came out of my mouth with no thought of the consequences they would have. “I’m gonna move to Las Vegas” I said, which was followed with some bull shit excuse, but that moment, that exact moment the words rolled off my tongue, that is when I decided to move to Vegas with no pre-meditated thought what-so-ever. At the end of the summer, after I studied in Cuba, after I lived with the 2 Petes in the Dells, I was gonna move to Vegas. Holy Shit.

Early morning moves
Christine and I are getting our butts in motion to get to April and Tony's wedding. This is not an obstacle of abnormal proportion, but it is early with no sleep. Christine and I have a tendency to go into things eyes have shut. This trip will be set into place the moment I have a bloody mary in my hand. So in honor to the beginning of this trip, here is a dedication song. Get ready April and Tony, here we come..

"I'm here and I want to be"
http:// Working with Dina right now at the Pig in Los Feliz and am having one of those moments of clarity and remembrance letting me know that this is where and why I wanted to be in L.A. It takes so much out of us, that day to day routine, that we completely forget our goals and intentions for the purpose of being where we are at that exact moment. Those moments of balance take us by surprise and we have to stop for a moment and identify what it is and then acknowledge that this moment is happening, and of course, then its gone.
I look back on my years and realize that these moments are great check and balance systems: Not only to reassure us that we are on track, or even a track at all, but just to say that we're still living, breathing, beings.
When I was 19, and in the summer at home working 16 hours a day, I would get these moments all the time. It was the living thing that kept popping out to me. We were living each and every moment. All those summers in Wisconsin Dells, working and living, meeting people who still, and will always be, major parts of my life. Seeing the sun come up over the parking lot of Denny's really only has a point of worth in a life, and for me, that was in the ages of 19-23. I truly hope that everyone gets those moments in there life and has the ability to see them when they happen through out the rest of it.

Thursday night exhaustion
Dina and I are working at Starbucks and all reality is starting to set in that this could be the rest of my life. Just like this working on events and projects that we love. I'm also getting set for my huge birthday weekend in Catalina Island. How crazy will this be? I really hope that people are prepared for this.
Have a good night...

I'm a hugger
http://So as I was driving home today from work, I was thinking of an awkward moment after our show on Sunday. I was hugging our guests good night and as I was hugging one of them, I held the hug just a second longer to really show my appreciation to her. I was so happy about our show and I feel that a more intimate hug usually will show an appreciation. Am I wrong with this thought process? Well, I left the embrace wondering if I just made her feel awkward about it or if it was just me. I could have just been tired and over thought it (Because I never over think anything) and just decided to let it brew in me for the evening. I realize now of course that I was over thinking it.
If I look over yesterday, I refer to a moment when we were all done with work and I gave everyone a hug. It was a long day and I just felt it was appropriate after a long day to give a little hug to say "we made it". I acknowledge that not everyone feels the same way as I do but I also recognize that I make people feel comfortable. Needless to say, I'm a hugger. That is just who I am. I suppose I need to just thank my mother and her kindness for that one. At the end of a day, we all feel better when someone has embraced us and showed us gratitude for our existence.
