Plan and such

Been binge watching martial arts vids on youtube, had no idea it was that much of a complex discipline, I mean sure i knew it was basically like learning to be a gymnast and it takes a lot to do it, but when you really research what martial artists put their bodies through to achieve their belts, YIKES. Scary to think about going hard with it, much respect to those who do.

I'm a natural at some parts of it, I'm athletic and just have that fighter spirit to me or whatever so in a different setting than mine yeah I'd have probably become proficient and it sucks knowing I've kinda lost a lot of time to develop it, well, can't do anything bout that shit now.

New star wars trailer out and shit, I'm again rather cautious or whatever towards it seeing how the trailers for force awakens were ultimately better than the film and JJ Abrams is the mcmuffin of directors, safe, ordinary. I think they just want another force awakens and that's what we'll be getting. Unless there's something great about it, I'm not going to go out of my way tripping over to go see it...

Lightsaber is now practically done just need to drill some holes, get it to be all put back into its original shape it came in and I'll be wearing it to the Fest in nov so I'm excited about getting that crap done right now. It was hell to wait for the glue to finish curing and a lot of pain working with the expanding foam etc. But I did it, I got it to be sitting here able to function turn on, and that's amazing. I took a 2007 saber I bought 12 years ago and made it into a removable blade version... gonna wash it off since it's got 12 years of dirt and grime on it then reasemble the thing back to normal and that's it, done.

As for the art, yep, gonna finish and polish all that stuff. Aiming for the end of the month for a ballpark deadline.

Also Outlaw Johnny black movie has open auditions now and they'll be voting for who gets to go shoot a scene at the movie. Do I want to get a role? Fuck yeah, but the thought crosses about the travel cost and all that. I'd gladly take amtrak, I love amtrak but I know that's at least a few days journey, dunno if I can survive being on a train all day. I don't believe I'll get picked at all anyway so I'll do my little acting reel thing post it and hope for something but I'll keep my expectations in check.

How will I act. I try to just not act, that's my method. I don't like watching movies where the acting is just unrealistic or so obvious. I am watching the other auditions and a few are quite good though don't meet the requirements set in the rules so they will be disqualified, but there are a few from seeming pros who know what they're doing. Mine will be just me, my way of things, and if you've watched my stuff, I try to be funny and natural. But yeah acting's hard, finding the reality of the moment is hard stuff.

That's it.
