Break a Leg

What, what, what?

Here's the thing. We badly need your help. Yahoo! has been kind enough to nominate Break a Leg as one of the top five contestants as the "Best Web Series" on Yahoo. This is a big honor and dammit, we want to win it. The competition is very, very stiff -- aside from Abigail's XXX Teen Rated Diary that's giving us a run for our money, we've got The Guild -- a good show that has a very rowdy, loud, gamer-related fanbase.

In fact, I think one of them said they were a better fanbase then you guys -- can you believe that?!

What we need from you guys is simple. We need you to vote for us. Click any of the many vote for us links that I've scattered throughout this blog or simply go here:

1. http://www.yvideoblog.com/blog/2008/03/11/yahoo-video-awards-best-series/
2. Select us.
3. Click vote.
4. This is optional. Email us (info@breakaleg.tv) your name and not only will you appear in our special thanks section for the next, future episode, but Mint will sing a song with every submitted name on the list. That's right. One song. All of your names. One video dedicated to it. You'll all be famous.

Please, please, please help us out and tell your friends. It takes half a second to vote and again, it does wonders for our exposure. Tell your friends, tell your AIM buddies, tell your family, tell your enemies -- but let's show the power of the Break a Leg fanbase.

And don't forget to send us your full names to the email (or respond to this blog with it.)

Thanks, guys!

If you DO end up watching it on YouTube (and really, even if you don't) please make sure to favorite, rate and comment there. As that's important and gets your favorite show features which gets your favorite show views which gives your favorite show the right to say, "Over 2.5 Million Views!" in their hip new promo that they're almost done with.

Thanks, guys! Hope you like it.

Happy Jenday, everyone.

Well, as of tomorrow I will have completed my 31st orbit of the sun.  And I feel...not excited.  As a kid birthdays were the best thing ever: one day just for you.  The anticipation started weeks before the actual day.  "Only 3 more weeks before my birthday!"  This year I had completely forgotten about it until Monday.  Maybe that has something to do with the fact that as children we weren't allowed to do as much and parties were few and far between.  It was a treat just to get together with friends in the park and have cake.  Now, I hang out with my friends all the time and we always have fun.  So it's more of the same.  Not that that's bad, it's just nothing new. 

   Maybe it's time to change my outlook on things.  Lately, my idea of a good time has been to do very little.  This is because I feel like I've been doing so much.  I work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and then I generally have rehearsal or a show or a shoot or...something to do.  So doing nothing suddenly becomes novel.  But after a while the novelty wears off and I'm left thinking, "I need to do something amazing."  Which requires planning and coroboration and a lot more effort than it takes to walk down to the liquor store, get a twelve pack, call one person who is sure to tell everybody else, and then sit back and let the events happen around me as they generally want to.  And yes, that's a pretty lethargic way to think.  Also, getting this close to the day, any grand ideas will have to be spontaneous, which while the possibilities of improvized courses of action are pretty spectacular, often not everybody enjoys themselves or can even participate.  Because that's all I really want: to be surrounded by the people I love.  And not just on my birthday.  Pretty much in general and all the time.

   Which leads to the bigger question: What do I want out of life?  And the answer? Well, generally a bacon cheese burger and a couple beers do the trick.  Think bigger, man! Fame, fortune, glory, financial independence, women, cars, castles, pirate vessels, SUCCESS???  Well, sure.  Do you have any spare just laying around?  No?  But can I have a bacon cheese burger?  Yes?  Hmm.  Ok, yes, you have to work for those things.  And in my way I do.  Or at least, I work, and hope something resembling those things will come along eventually.  But am I working at the right stuff?  They say if you want to make it in tv or movies you have to live in L.A.  HELL no.  I will not live in that cess pit and TRY to make it as an actor.  I'm not really keen on packing up all my stuff and heading to New York to try and start over there.  I like it here.  My home is here.  My friends are here.  My cheese burger is here.  Right now I have relationships with several local theater groups where I rarely even have to audition for a part.  I think the last time I actually went to an audition was about a year ago and, as Yuri will attest, I am always busy with shows.  Maybe that's being a big fish is a small pond, but know what?  I'm kinda ok with that.  And when I'm not busy, I like to spend my time playing World of Warcraft or Yohoho Puzzle Pirates.  And I'm content.

   Could my life be more? Sure.  Do I need it to be?  No.  So why am I trying to defend the choices I've made?  Because maybe somewhere I think it should be more.  But then everybody shows up with beer and what status my life is in isn't so important.  It'll still be there in the morning, and I'll still be...well, working, doing, moving.  I guess the really important part is just not to stagnate.  No, wait...that is important, but it's not the most important.  It's being able to enjoy the people you love.  Because really, no matter how successful you are, they will still be those people. 

And a bacon cheeseburger is a bacon cheeseburger.

Hey, all.

Before I post Mr. Sam Wood's blog, I'd just like to say welcome to all the new posters filtering in from YouTube. I'd also like to say that we absolutely love when people comment and post on the message board -- we love communicating with our fans and all of our actors do too (they don't all come regularly, but if you ask a specific actor a question I can get him to read it within a day, almost certainly). So, please, don't be shy, come by and say hello.

Oh, and never stop asking me to get you pregnant, it's not creepy, it makes me feel like a celebrity.

I like that.

Here is Mr. Sam Wood's blog:

It seems like a normal day, sun shining, birds...gone from the cold. Nothing can go wrong, and then here comes this white haired (what I call a long haired bowl cut) with a cat slung across her shoulder like one of those ammo belts people carry on their chests. It was very weird. However, this was a while ago, and weird things have been happening ever since. Anyway, onto the saga.
