Just showered at 4am because I can’t sleep. Me and vodka do not mix, apparently. Who says you get rest on an off day?

From now on I will follow the teachings of the patron saint of manliness, St. Swanson: clear alcohols are for rich women on diets.

Semi-spontaneous road trip with my brother has me sitting in a hotel room in Charleston, SC. Now I’m eating combos and watching the horrible/awesome Godzilla movie with Matthew Broderick. Livin’ life.

booze and video games

Drinking brandy and rum while playing Mass Effect with old friends. One of my buds, Sean, has never played before and he’s just started Mass Effect 2. My other friend, Andrew, has played and me and him keep influencing his decision making, haha. I won out with the romance option in the first game (Liara) and Andrew won out with the class (Vanguard)

We gotta get through these games, because Sean is leaving for Thailand soon! But right now, it’s a good night.

the zombie logs.

Getting prosthetics put on is oddly relaxing. 90 minutes in a make-up chair is awwwwesome.

Wearing contacts is excruciating.

I met Andrew Lincoln and shook his hand. He was in character as Rick the whole time, even when I met him, so it was like I was meeting Rick Grimes. What the what?!

It was super weird seeing him, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, and Danai Gurira all walking around in character. And by super weird, I mean super awesome.

I hope there’s no spoilers in this post, or I’ma be in trouble with AMC…

Tomorrow (and Thursday) I’m going down to Senoia, GA to be a zombie on the next season of The Walking Dead.

What the what?

Edit: I’m actually in the season 4 ‘zombie training school’ video on AMC’s website which can be found here. (I’m wearing gray/red flannel with jeans and boots and I’m sportin’ a beard).

Loan deferment got approved. First financial break I’ve gotten in a loooong time. Feels good!

Callbacks for the commercial in an hour. They passed on my brother, the aspiring actor, and picked me, who doesn’t even care about acting but is poor. Ironic.

I bust my butt trying to find a full or part-time job and an acting gig just falls right in my lap.

Funny ol’ world, innit…

Welp, I asked a cute girl out tonight. She turned me down, but damn, she looked good doing so.

Now I consider myself one handsome sonofabitch, but for some reason I can’t seem to get a date. The girls I want to date and the girls who want to date me never seem to be in the same group. Damn these high standards of mine…

I love the church, but I *hate* church hierarchy and bureaucracy. The church was never meant to be run like a business, but the American church largely continues to do it this way. Jesus isn’t a product that you can sell, and ministry isn’t about pleasing the parishioners with the deepest pockets. Taking ownership of the church means that we’re cutting Jesus out of the equation. I almost hate calling myself a christian because of all the horrible connotations that come with that label.

Just watched the Parks and Rec episode where Tom is in traffic court for an accident he caused because of excessive tweeting… which of course made me decide to live tweet the last 23 hours of 2012. I’m gonna regret the large amount of egregious tweets that are going to spring forth from my fingertips.

This is the best/worst idea EVAAAAA.

I love my family. Whenever there is an issue in any of our relationships (and there have been many), we talk about it, we yell, we say sorry, we hug, we laugh. Everything is out in the open and dealt with as soon as it happens. It’s intense sometimes, but it’s good.

I’m a blessed man.

Just in case any of my awesome followers want to follow/take a look at my free-form writing blog it’s located here. I don’t update it very regularly because most of my creative energies right now are going towards my book, but I still do post stuff occasionally.

Go on and give it a look-see.
