You know, I think I may have used that title before. But I'm ok with that, because it's a good metaphor for my life at times. See the following.
One of my roommates moved out two months ago and I haven't been able to find a replacement, which means I'm chucking an extra $625 out an open window every month because the lease is in my name. My car has started hiccupping and occasionally loosing all power while driving, and something keeps coming up and keeping me from getting it checked. I start a new show this week, which is actually a good thing. However, look back at the point that my car is about to die and I'm quickly running out of the funds to fix or replace it. I am tired of my apartment, but can't really move right now. I can't sleep at night because I'm stressed about these things, which is affecting my job performance, and quite frankly, my health. And I'm still bald! Oh, and there's a recession or something going on.
There's more stuff, but, eh, it's mostly just stuff I know I should do but don't do or stuff I do do but shouldn't.
Yes, I said "do do". Poop jokes are funny.
So that's the bad stuff.
The good stuff is that I'm starting "The Great Books (Abridged)" which is 3 guys on stage running around like idiots for about 2 hours. I got the opportunity to do "The Bible (Abridge)" with the same company a couple years ago and it is one of the most fun shows I have ever done. So I'm stoked on that.
And then immediately after that, I'll be Rochefort in The Three Musketeers. That will be awesome because if there's a fight with a bad guy, the bad guy is usually Rochefort. Stage combat is fun. Additionally, there's this cool little twist: a couple years ago I was Lt. Kendrick in "A Few Good Men" (played by Keifer Sutherland in the movie). Well, the guy who played Col. Jessup in that show is going to be Cardinal Richelieux...however the hell you spell it. This basically means he'll be the head asshole - again, and I'll be his right-hand asshole - again...hmmm, perhaps those weren't two coloquialisms I should have used together. Anyway, the guy is a great actor and a great guy, so it'll be cool to team up with him again.
If I make it through the week.
Oh, and if anybody knows an agent that needs any voice actors, tell them where to find me. My demo is but an email away.
Happy Jenday!
