People of the online world: I am up for it. What I mean when I say "up for it" is, looking for my goal and purpose in life. Why am I here in this world? I have a saying "if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off" and I am sticking to it. The great thing about that is , I may think it but it doesn't mean I won't do anything in my power to stop it from sucking. I guess this little blog will document my struggle and determination to find this PURPOSE.
So, I'm 26, and from the UK. I am currently in Canada with 3 weeks left here; it's a big change. I'm been moving about for about 3 years- first I was on a cruise ship, then on tour and then in Canada. I have experienced a lot in my short 26 years and I want to do a lot more. As a performer, and I do see myself as one, I may not be seen as successful right now, but I plan to be. I don't necessarily want to be famous, as they say (even though money would be nice), I just want to do the job I love and that's performing.
When it comes to performing, I guess the big 3 criteria casting directors and scouts look for is that TRIPLE THREAT and in all honesty I am certainly not one of those. I can act and I believe I am a good actor, with singing, I can hold my own if i need to and with dancing: not a fucking chance in hell! LOL. But I have drive and ambition, isn't that enough?
So, musical theatre is out, well- that's cool by me. I have friends who do it and it's far too stressful. TV and film is where I wanna be, and have done a little of already, so that is the path I want to follow, and the path I guess I want you to follow with me here. There will be ups and downs, and likely more downs in this business, but hey, I expect it at least.
Of course, I have a normal day to day job; I am an Assistant Manager of an amazing company but, unfortunately, I may have to leave if I can't get my transfer to a London store. But this is life, as I said before: it sucks, we just have to get on with it.
So feel free to follow me on my journey in this big bad world we call life, and I hope it will make you laugh and cry and feel a little how it is to be me. We may never meet, or we might. If not thank you for being a small part of my little world that I call my own.
