Welcome to 2010

So here we are, 2010. Yes, I have ended up again not regularly writing in this. I think I’m just not going to try doing regular updates and maybe I’ll end up doing them. So, as one year ends and a new one begins, it got me thinking about 2009. It wasn’t a bad year for me. I feel I lost my way artistically a bit, but re-kindled my inspirations just as 09’ was coming to a close. So here is my recap of 2009.

I started the year off taking my first international trip. I was off to the land of Israel. It was a free ten day trip called Birthright Israel. It is for Jews 18-27 to go and explore Israel. The trip was amazing. Israel is a beautiful country and I could not have had a better experience. To be able to float in the Dead Sea, trek through the Carmel Mountains, hike to the top of Masada and watch the sunrise, and to walk the streets of Jerusalem. It was an incredible trip and my only disappointment was how fast the trip went. Ten days was just not enough.








Then I got tickets to the Grammys. That was an experience.



The next highlight was my birthday in February. It wasn’t a leap year so I celebrated on the 28th. Ra Ra Riot, a favorite band of mine, was playing that night at the El Rey. So we went to the show. A good friend from college was in town visiting, so it was nice to have a friend from back east out for my birthday as well. Plus she was a great photographer.



There were too many great shows to go through all of them. 2009 brought me Regina Spektor, Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, A Fine Frenzy, Green Day (twice), and U2 at the Rose Bowl.


Green Day at the Henry Fonda Theatre.

It was a good sports year. My Yankees finally won the World Series!




Most importantly it was a year for me to get re-focused on my acting career. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy coming out here. Things are not going as fast as I’d like, but I do feel like I finally have a hold on the lay of the land here. 2010 is beginning with a very clear plan of action for getting things going this year. Plus we are finally back to a normal schedule for “pilot season”. Thank you writer’s strike for messing up last year’s season.
So as 2010 dawns, I have a few hopes for the New Year. This is the year I am finally going to seek representation. I also want to do some theatre. I miss it and it will be a great way to keep in shape acting-wise. I hope the year brings more good friends, good music, and be an all around great year for everyone.
