Events Leading To Success.
Well today was like any normal day, went to college, finished by first lesson by learning my lines from a script after waiting 30 minutes into the lesson we found out our tutor was ill (and they couldnt of told us sooner?!) shortly after finishing the lesson, myself and james had a rather stupid but engenious idea..the coffe-shake! we basically started our ideas small like coffe mixed with milk shake, the we started gettin silly e.g. coffee mixed with blended wheatobicks then i came up with the idea of tooth friendly coffee with was sugar free coffee with no toxic mouth wash as a syrup substitute, and edable toothpaste as a whip cream substitute :P we even did a performance based around it.. it was kinda messed up lol but it was fun.
then when i got home the best thing happened, i got a phone call from adam's college telling me that i had got a place in 1 of their productions!! we said they watched my audition and they loved it and wanted me to participate! Friday 10:30, adam's building.. its gonna rock!!

Fishing... some say it's a relaxing sport... a way to inwind, forget about life and it's troubles... sadly that didnt fit my fishing experience today... it was cold... i had no jacket/coat, my floater wouldnt stay on the water, i had rod troubles, and my annoying little brother's mate tagged along and my brother started the 'i must act big to impress my mate' routine so i did the simplest but effective thing i could... i got him to the edge of hard ground and threatened to push him in the water if he didnt stop it... was i wrong in doing so... lol i got the 3rd degree from my mother when she heard about it but.. who cares... lol, so fishing... not for me.. at least not today.

Judgement Day In The Day Of An Actor.
today at college was basically like any other day, first lesson we basically went over the script we were given at a previous lesson, we progressed with this script quickly taking to the whole attitudes of our characters with ease, then after an hour break we arrived at our next lesson to find out that there was auditions being held for a series at the adam's building (another college in nottingham) so me being a progressing actor i thought this would be a good experience for other auditions in the future so i tagged along...
finally after arriving after climbing so many stairs! we arrived at the studio where we were given various scripts to choose and perform approximately 20 minutes later in front of 20 directors, 2 camera men, 2 lighting techs, and a small room full of monitors.. well me and a not so close friend of mine jamie took to the stage with a script from a film ' no country for old men' so we walked in and the cameras were in front of ours faces, the lights beating down on our faces, which was very hot, but unlike my partner and the other performers, i wasnt nervous so i put on my texas accent and performed... it ended with the entire cast applauding us, then as we collected our stuff from the room out side the studio we were fetched and asked if we could do a quick improvisation piece about arguing over anything, so i said ok can you just give us 2 minutes to think quickly, so we did and we went back in and did a brilliant small piece of improvisation which again ended in applause then were then escorted out, given info on various dramas that were being casted and told that if we get a part we shall recieve a phone call on tuesday.. so now im PYSKED!

Pure Solitaire
Cold, Heart broken, living in a world of my own,
Living beyond pain and suffering, a life without light,
Surrounded by darkness! there's no saviour,
No angels to grasp the remaining living part of my being,
I am without a soul in this hollow shell which is my skin,
I am but a bird trapped in a cage longing to be set free,
Free from his isolation and lonelyness.
I am the prey of the lone wolf, trapped between the walls,
The walls which continue to close in on me, trapping me, trapping me like the rat,
So who will be my saviour? who will guide me out of darkness, out of isolation?
Out of this hallow shell which ensnares me like the bird, or shoo the wolf ready to pounce?
Who will deliver me into the real world, a world with love, warmth and friendship?
Will it be you?

college. now around 60% of people think it's easy, the course work is easy, while 40% think its hard as hell and the course work is frustratingly long... i am 1 of those 40% of people.. although i'll admit that i only enjoy the acting part which is suppose to take up 9/10 of the course which i now find out it doesnt more around 6/10 and the coursework which i thought would be over after the 1st term continues.. only now we have to 1) learn 2 different scripts and memorise them! 2)write down a complete diary for each lesson of the day.
today i suppose was like any other day... got our scripts, got casted... i tweaked the play around abit so i dont play the women beating man , but the man beating women (me being the man) so this performance should prove entertaining if not... i'll kill my tutor :P
also i dont know if any1 reading this has ever read or seen for that fact the story of 'the bouncers' part 2/2 of another play called 'shakers' this is the 2nd script we are currently memorising. To hell we go...

hell is work
Yesterday at work was hell, i was stocking shelves as i normally do when it came down to the last box, just your average small.. cube... box, i approached this box thinkin ''this'll be easy'' little did i know until i picked it up.. IT WEIGHED A TON!!! i was thinking to myself ''what the hell is in this.. lead?!'' i wasnt far off.. only 40 bags and small 1kg bird sand! >_< then after id finished that i was in the warehouse about to finish i had 1 box to put away and it contained mats for your cars... so im there trying to track down where they go.. and guess where... on the very top of the shelve! which had 6 sections! at least 9ft tall! im glad that shift was over, that was the shift from HELL!

Depression.
you stare at me, but i'm transparent to thee,
im nothing but a shadow, a shadow if grief and misery at feeds on you,
happness is not for me, friends say they understand,
but knowledge means nothing for me,
you give me advice but thus are only words,
you are unable to help thee, for thy heart is tainted,
tainted with the thoughts of the lost and disires which are unreachable by man,
i am me, away with the darkness.
I am Paul

Thursday September 25th
today could have possibly have been the worst day of my life,
after recovering from a 24 hour bug with turned out to be a 48 hour bug! and a throat infection which restricted my speech, i awoke at 8:30 i had to rush around and get out the house and get to college for 9:00 how i did it remains a mystery only to have an individual tutorial (1 on 1 student - tutor meeting) ready for me (i hate the little "are you having any difficulties in this course" conversations) then after that near the end of my day myself and several of my fellow students arrived to our lesson early, so we let ourselves in, now we messed around a little you know, like students do and i trapped my friend sammy outside now she tried to get back in but my friend jamie had the slide door blocked, she pushed at the slide open door so he jumped at the door and made a bang, now in the meantime our campus leader was at my door, now he and the assistant campus leader came storming in and asked us with the least respect you could possibly give a person(s) and said, "why are you all in here?"we replied "because we have a lesson in here in a second" he replied "we'll you know your not suppose to be in here without a tutor" and our friend Larissa simply replied "you shouldnt have left the doors unlocked" then he flipped making out us to be the bad ones and he expelled Larissa for bad attitude, next thing we know, Jamie and Sammy are being escorted off the premisses by 2 security guards and expeled for the day AND IT WAS MY FAULT!, so in a furious rage i ran to find the campus leader and gave him a piece of my mind and i swear to god he was SOOO ARROGANT! i told him that it was my fault she couldnt get in the class so it should be me who was sent home and his reply to that was "she'll be back tomorrow a different person, and thats a burden your gonna have to live with, now who do you think you are trying to tell me what to do when your nothing but a group rep, now im not going to exclude you because your 'suppose' to be the figure head for the group but dont think your big headed and you wont get away with it next time" i was like WTF! i was only group rep. for like 4 days! and already he's critisising me and telling me what i should and shouldnt do! and telling me that i should boss people around im only the fucking rep! i have no authority to tell another humanoid what to do! but that day really pissed me off bad anyway i've aplogised my ass off to Sammy and Jamie and they don't blame me, they blame the head.
