--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am treated well by CDs (usually) a few have even told me the problem.
"You aren't fat enough!" "We seek thinner" You aren't old enough. Hell yes i am I tell them.
"Well you don't look old enough!"
"You look to healthy!" We seek decrepit!"

There is no answer to this delima. I have replied, " it's called acting!"
I get a smile.
I have an audition today. I will take a cane since the seek frail!
Oh, I am on a diet!

I know what you mean, Jerry, I did an Indie a few weeks ago, and they wanted me to play an old geezer of 90. Sorry, don't look 90! Or do I?

It went well, I thought. The CD chit chatted with me and went into detail re: the Call Back. She said it will be tomorrow at a different location.
" I will let you know!" I felt pretty confident. After all why spend the time?

I have not heard a word. 

I am not really crying about it but feel pressured to impress my agent. I have not lately!

One reason I have abandoned the pond is because it was providing more frustration than joy.  I trust your love for acting doesn't go the way of my pond.  Frustration can be found anywhere but finding and keeping joy is a treasure.

I do like it a lot, but i am not dedicated to "Art of acting " as so many are.
 I just go crazy when im told I can't do it. Wierd huh?

it's kind of "Oh yeah, I'll show you!!"

I had to check and see if that was written by me... I think that's the main reason I removed my pond, it was more work and not fun anymore.  I think that's why I choose to do artwork as a hobby and not a business... I'll lose the passion if it has to put food on the table and pay the mortgage.
