The past week has been fun, yet wierd,confusing, and just a general pain in the ass.  Well, as most of you know, St. Louis got hit pretty hard with some freak storms that started last Wednesday.  Our house was left without power for about 2 and half days.  There are still a lot of people without power.  I'm pretty sure most of Overland is still out actually.  My family couldn't even find any available hotels to stay in cuz they were all full of storm vicitims.  It sucked, but luckily our power was restored last Friday evening (thank god).  When our power was out, I spent a lot of time at the movies...there was no way i was gonna stay at home in all that heat.  This past week I saw A Prairie Home Companion, Superman Returns (again), and Monster House.  PHC is actually pretty good.  I know there are a lot of people saying it wasn't that good, but I had heard the opposite from critics.  I think the reason why people dont like it is because its different.  People don't like things that are different.  That's why I tend to listen more to critics.  Monster House was good too.  I swear computer animation keeps getting better and better.  Those people in that movie looked soooo real.  Friday, Carrie and I met Kristian up at Pink Galleons and then went out to Courtney Guilford's house to visit.  I hadn't seen her since I graduated and it was good to see her.  Saturday, Carrie, TJ, and I met up with Kristian and several others up at Voodoo in Harrah's.  NOW THAT WAS FUN.  My only gripe is that their drinks are a little bit expensive.  But the music was good, and I loved the atmosphere.  Sorry if anyone got any crazy phone calls from me that night! (that just means I was having a good time!)   Sunday was my mom's company picnic at Creve Couere(?) Park.  It was a lot of fun.  Everyone had so many great things to say about my mom.  It actually made me kinda proud!  The past couple of days have been completely uneventful.  Since I don't have a job yet, I just get so bored and so tired of being at home!  I wanted to go to the Tivoli tonight, but that didn't work out.  So once again, I just stayed at home and watched TV.  I don't know how much longer I can without working.  There are some things in development though.  I'm kind of just playing a waiting game.  I sent my resume's to KMOV channel 4 and KETC channel 9 last week.  Hopefully they give me a call some time soon.  I also applied for an apprenticeship position for a CBS affiliate in Green Bay, WS.  Basically they teach you how to become a producer...and you get paid for it!!!  They called me last week and told me they received my application and I should hear back from them sometime next month!  Apparently my chances are good since there have only been a few applicants and they have 12 positions open! 

So, now onto some bigger news I guess...well its more of a dilemma...Luke gave me a call a few days ago asking if I wanted to move out to LA with him some time next month.  I totally want to do it, especially since I've always figured I would move out there anyway.  My only thing is, I don't have that much money to begin with, and I just don't feel secure enough moving out there with a minimal amount of money.  The funny thing is, everyone that I have talked to says that I should just take a chance and move out there anyway.  Even the people that I worked with in Kansas City gave me the same advice.  Luke is all about rolling the dice and taking a chance.  What should I do? I don't want to be one of those people who moves out to LA and then fails.  When I move to LA, I want to make sure that I can stay there for a long period of time.  I don't really want to move back to St. Louis.   I know that I want to wait a while and see if CBS calls me back from Green Bay.  I would love to take that job.  I guess if I don't hear back from Green Bay anytime soon, then I'll do it.  I would like to save up a little more money too.  I don't know what to do really.  I guess we'll see what happens.  Its just so wierd to think that in a month or two I may not even be living in St. Louis anymore!   Oh well, I've kinda run outta things to write about.  If you've actually read through all this shit, then you deserve a trophy

Where's my trophy?! It sounds like you have alot of really promising options.

Holy shit Tmo, I haven't heard the name Courtney Guilford since freshman year! You know she used to be one of my best friends growing up? That is too funny. Anywho, give me a call sometime. I never hear from anyone anymore. Miss you!

hey you... yes i actually did read through the whole thing but then i am used to your rants.  just kidding.  anyway, to be honest i'm gonna have to go with everyone else who has advised you.  i mean, you've already got someone to live with out there and that is definitely a start.  if you get the apprenticeship in green bay you should definitely go with that.  but i wouldnt worry about not having any money.  i'm sure you can find some sort of job out there.  almost everyone in the entertainment industry starts out as a waiter or a bartender (which you'd be perfect for by the way lol).  of course you're not going to move out there and get a job as a p.a. or anything right away (although if you did that would be great), but look at it this way... you're living in saint louis now, where you don't want to be, and you don't have a job; where you could be living in l.a., where you do want to be, and easily find a job to sustain yourself while you look for something even better.  don't be too worried about the risk.  just because you're going out there with no money doesn't mean you're going to be a failure.  and even if you went out there with 4000 saved up, you could still end up being a failure.  that's just the nature of the business.  you have a lot of ambition and talent and i'm sure you will do fine.  you just have to be willing to take a risk.  you know what they say, you can't win if you don't play...

luv u baby, tty soon
