The Dark Rising Truth


So, there's this movie called Dark Rising.

If you haven't seen it, I have to recommend it to you. Not because it's the best movie ever made. Not because Brigitte is hot on the cover (yes Andrew, I said it) Not because of any superficial reason really...
But because of these people, I am acting again.

To prove how long it's been since I posted regularly on this perhaps I should take a step back.
Two summers ago- I moved to Toronto to try to act. In the process, the agency I was with fell apart, the only acting job I found was with a small home movie and I went broke by working one shift a week at EB Games. (If that)
In all I came back home deciding to push the idea of acting out of my mind and just focus on going back to school. It was good for the first year, but I still missed acting.
As a result I went and tried to get two plays that I wrote going, but both fell apart before we could really get the shows on the road. Feeling defeated, agitated and frustrated I decided to just put theatre out of sight and out of mind.
However, this fall everything changed.
I actually began to work through a couple things. I was feeling frustrated with school, which unfortunately hasn't dissipated fully, although it has improved. Something I must talk about next time. Remind me? But after some small things, (and not so small things like Love*Fool), I found a little advertisement for an audition.
Thinking nothing of it, I auditioned for a movie called Dark Rising 2: Summer Strikes Back.
And they liked me.
I mean they REALLY liked me.
The coolest thing is they liked me enough to hire me. But not only that. They liked me enough to help me get my full ACTRA (The Canadian Screen Union)
They've taught me so much, given me more, and really fueled the fire for my acting again. It's pretty wicked awesome cool.
I can't wait to share more with y'all but needless to say things are looking up. Which is just awesome.
Later everyone!

Being Unstuck

For the longest time I have felt stuck.
I have felt no need to update this blog for the longest time because I have had no need to.
There has been no need to express myself as nothing has happened.
But now, I feel there are a few things I need to express.
Countoff:
1. Dark Rising- and the tale of the awesomeness
If you haven't seen the movie Dark Rising, you should definitely check it out. And I have no ulterior motive for saying this.
Full story to come soon ;) It's a good one
2. Glee
This show is my ultimate guilty pleasure. I want to be on it. I want to be it.
Yes I know the writing is not up to par. But it's still charming. It's a great little show, ten times more exciting then the other shows that exist today. Well that's not entirely true... but it's still fun.
3. Books
I'm writing again! I restarted my invisible war trilogy and dividing it into a five part mini-series.
More on that to come...

Yeah... I guess this equivocates to a teaser.
But trust me... things get good.

Best Conversation Ever.

(*) SOMEONE (*) says: (8:52:42 PM)
if you feel causing some hell
Brel says: (8:52:53 PM)
eh?
(*) SOMEONE (*) says: (8:53:12 PM)
add yourself to the traditional Marriage fan page and  add some gay marriage pics to it
(*) SOMEONE (*) says: (8:53:19 PM)
I had some fun with it
Brel says: (8:53:24 PM)
uh... ok. Why?
(*) SOMEONE (*) says: (8:53:34 PM)
:)
(*) SOMEONE (*) says: (8:53:45 PM)
because traditon marriage is a scam
Brel says: (8:53:57 PM)
I call it opposite mariage
(*) SOMEONE (*) says: (8:54:10 PM)
it's basically a homophobic group
Brel says: (8:54:27 PM)
well it's not like they're forcing you in
Brel says: (8:55:00 PM)
My theory is they aren't pushing it in my face, I don't think I should go out of my way to distort someone else's beliefs
Brel says: (8:55:28 PM)
if they were, I'd retaliate
(*) SOMEONE (*) says: (8:55:31 PM)
suit yourself - but you're breeding homophobes
Brel says: (8:55:41 PM)
Actually I'm not breeding. Period. 
 (*) SOMEONE (*) has left the conversation.

BEST CONVERSATION EVER!!

Well... as it turns out I'm still messed up. No surprise there really. But I've decided I really want to make a blog that fills you with that warm fuzzy sensation of those things we all know and love. So if you ever want that warm and fuzzy flirty feeling: Feel free to check it out

Writing

When I don't write, I feel dead.
And then I get angry.
And then I get frustrated.
And then I get depressed.
And then everything else happens.

My mind blows apart at the seams at our culture. You think you know someone just because you talk to them online. You don't. How a person behaves in person is how you know someone. It's not what they say it's who they are. It's not what they do, it's who they are.

Who are we? As a culture where is everything even heading?
And why do I feel so alone? You can talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime. But we don't. We're so connected. But only to ourselves.

Could this be the new "That's what she said?" 
We can only hope...

SOOOO....
I'm not going to lie, I started this group on the off chance that it would net me money. And in that regard, this blog can be looked at as a massive failure. 
First off, I'm not exactly funny. 
Secondly, this blog is Emo. 
Thirdly... well this blog is still emo. 
I don't know how to improve that. 
Shoot... I was actually going to make a point this time... but I can't. 
School is always getting busy before it gets better... I will be going to summer school which should be fun. Next year hopefully will be better. Maybe I'll update this more often. Maybe I'll find a niche to talk about every week like fourfour. We'll find out. 
On the upside: How freaken awesome was it when Celia got back up on the catwalk and told off Tyra on the last episode of Top Model. That was divatastic! She out bitched Kylie! That was sweet. Best ANTM diva moment since Jade existed.
