I'm Alive

Ok so its been awhile since I posted and I'm hitting the 5 month mark of living in NYC so lets recap lol. I moved here, got a job. Got an audition for Jersey boys. Got experience. Hated job. Changed jobs. Got an audition for Rent. Got shut down. Felt kinda shitty for awhile. Made a ton of money in December working my ass off. Started taking voice/acting lessons. Making no money in January.

So now I am still working at Pasta Lovers and like every person in the restaurant business this time of the year we are slow. I now have a lot more free time during the week to better myself and what I do so I've been going out a lot more to jazz clubs, cafes, caberets, etc. to get myself into the lifestyle of what I'm shooting for here.

I did an open mic night at this place called The Duplex which was fun. Its a little more intimidating than karaoke 1) because im not drunk and 2) because these people have been dedicated to this stuff for a long time, but they were really supportive and great. And I met some cool people which I have been lacking in this city. The few people I do know here have 9-5's and go out on the weekends when I work doubles for rent money. The guys at work are all older and go to Spanish clubs (by the way I went to one of those with them one night and it was hilarious).

Hopefully along with getting my foot in the door on this industry I might just get a good circle of people to hang out with over time. I am actively searching for any bands or other cabarets which make me feel good. I realized all of these pent up emotion i felt in the previous months was because I wasn't doing anything that I loved. Being a waiter makes cash but it sucks. When I was in architecture school at least I had a creative outlet via my work but here I don't get that.

Now when I'm singing theres not just sound coming off my chest.

I'm close to making it in the green for the month next week which is good. Glad I saved up some extra in December. Cabin fever will hopefully give way soon to some good weather, although this winter hasn't been that bad. I'm looking forward to whatever new opportunities I can create, and ones that the Price Group can provide for me. :) Bye for now.
