Life in your 30s I know that my life is not typical. I don't care about typical anymore. I have come to realize that life is a race and in a race, you never want to be looking at anything but the finish line. You can't worry about the other runners. You can't focus on what they are wearing or if they seem to be better off than you or even ahead of you. The race is not given to the swift, nor the strong, but to the one that endures to the end.

I spent most of the weekend stuck in my apartment. Mostly for financial reasons. I just couldn't afford to go out and paint the town red. I already had some weed. I bought some vodka and I rented some movies. I also had to prepare for an audition that I have tomorrow at Noon.

Let me run down the weekend for you. Friday was tough. I was bored and tired. I worked all day at the Big Ad Agency and I had to work in the morining at SC teaching my class. I got home about 6 pm and I immediately started to get high. I have to be honest and say that I don't remember much past this moment except for talking to Dan G later in the night.

Saturday, I taught in the am. One of my students bought the whole training center staff a 10 lb bar of chocolate. I ate a lot of chocolate and then I took off for the video store. I rented three flicks.

1. Something's Gotta Give. A yawner for sure at least the first 50 minutes. I really didn't care about this movie until Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson have their sex scene. From that point I was with it until the end of the movie. Nicholson and Keaton have such great chemistry and look awesome on screen together. I really bought into their relationship.

2. Girls Will Be Girls. The best movie I have never heard of. There are times that you have to trust your gut and rent an indy. I do all the time but this was the best. It was campy, funny, over-the-top, and really fun. Jack Plotnick has been good in everything I have seen in him (even though I didn't know his name). Clinton Leupp is another one of those actors that I have seen in other projects and just didn't know who he was. And I have the hugest crush on Jeffery Roberson. I love him as a woman and as a man....excuse me...but I'm a little conflicted right now.

If you see this movie in your video store, rent it. As a matter of fact, get off your ass and make an effort to rent it. DO IT!

3. The Eye. Eeeh. What can I say? It was okay. It was like a smart version of "The Ring." I won't say that it was bad but I won't say that it was great either. It was a perfectly fine diversion. Truth be told, I watched this one Sunday night an I fell asleep (probably too much weed and vodka).

Previous to my Saturday night video session, I read Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor. I have an audition on Tuesday for a production of this show.I also watched SNL with Donald Trump. I have some friends who work on Saturday Night Live and I love to see their work and their names in the credits. It was also a fun show.

Sunday was my first day off in two weeks. I slept in. I watched Girls Will Be Girls again. I took a long hot bath. I walked in the sunshine through the park and then I rented some porn. I went home, watched The Simpsons, talked to Paul S., cooked dinner, and watched The Eye.

It was a pretty good weekend.
