Now, the last time I kept a journal, was in high school...basically chronicling drug induced adventures around Tampa, where I grew up, with my off-the-wall friends. They were illustrated and I still have them...but from then on, the events of my life seemed too mundane to record into a journal with stamps and markers I stole from Michael's craft store...(which I also still have.)
I think it is important to keep a record of this time in my life...the struggle, the success, the struggle again...it's gonna be a crazy life for us passionate kids, but at least for me, it's going to be completely satisfying...
I'm excited, and you should be too, if not for me, then for the ability to live vicariously through me.
I title this Blog: "Just Trying To Matter..." it is a quote by June Carter Cash, I've adopted it since Reese Witherspoon's Oscar Acceptance Speech for playing the said role in Walk The Line...
It has a humble ambition to it, I think, that I really identify with. It's the knowing you've made a difference even if other people don't necessarily know your name. Of course recognition would be nice...but it's not what's important. The bigger picture, and your contribution to making that picture a masterpiece.
So, full speed ahead...this blog will explore my artistic endeavors, including Plays I'm working on/ have ideas for (and I love collaboration so, comment away...), Plays I'm in and my rehearsal processes, and observations of life whether they matter or are just fun.
Peace.
