Hey guys, just dropping a quick line to inform those of you who still use Livejournal with any frequency at all that I will be more or less ceasing regular updates on this account, instead focusing my blogging energies on a journal documenting my progress as a working actor in Los Angeles, which can be found here: matthew_kelly. If you'd like to join and follow ( Read more... )

LJ has informed me it's been 17 weeks since my last entry, almost 17 weeks to the day in fact. It is just after 3:30 in the morning Eastern Standard Time on the 26th of April, and the last time I wrote anything was Christmas day. And I must say I am shocked how I can feel at once like nothing has happened and a great deal has taken place, almost ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas LJers. I am listening to a CD composed by my friend Josh Belville, who is currently in Portland pursuing a professional music career. His CD is a Christmas album called "Get Behind Me Santa!" and it's pretty good acoustic stuff. It's available for a free download until tomorrow at this very place, and I recommend you pick it up. I ( Read more... )

So...apparently we aren't actually broken up. Apparently everything is fine. Apparently she wants me to come back to Charlotte and she wants everything back the way it was. Apparently she loves me, and she missed me, and is now for some reason all about me, never mind all those phone calls listing the varied and sundry reasons we aren't working ( Read more... )

Anyone have any bright ideas on what exactly I should do now?

Hail and hello from Brookline once again! Mark is at work, and his lady is at an interview, so it's just me kicking it in their apartment right now. It's been a pretty fun couple of days, we've done stuff, played stuff, had a good time. Today is my last full day in Boston and from there it's onto meet Jesse, and from there I guess we're going to ( Read more... )

I am just finishing watching the premiere episode of the HBO mini-series John Adams, which I recommend you all make an effort to watch. I knew it would be great, given Paul Giamatti's casting in the starring role, but the first installment has surpassed my greatest expectations. Can you imagine having to defend in court the British soldiers who ( Read more... )

I am not good at New Year's resolutions. I never know what to resolve to do, and when I do, a rarely stick to it. I know I am not unique in this. And although I have taken steps to change my lot, to make my situation better, I still feel a discontent with the direction of my life. I feel as though the harsh realities of the 'real world' have ( Read more... )

Maybe if I updated more often, I wouldn't feel like I have so much to update on, so I wouldn't write big long posts like I'm anticipating this one will be. I care not ( Read more... )

It is about 11 at night, and I am going over the menu for Brixx, the restaurant I am now working at. I have done three days of training thus far, and tomorrow I am going to be tested on the menu. To say it is complicated would be understating the point a little. Brixx is sort of a cross-section of Olive Garden and California Pizza Kitchen, although ( Read more... )
