Once every five months isn't so bad...right?
Alright, it's bad. My new year's resolution is to update this more often. Also, I will make my first million. Will either of them happen? Probably not.
2011 was an interesting year. It started off with a move to New York City on January 1st. I got a job at Starbucks on 51st and Broadway, froze my balls off, and blew through all of my money...thanks to my student loans and paying rent in Manhattan. It wasn't a total waste though. I met some great people, made some good contacts in the theatre industry, and had some good callbacks.
In February, I blew a huge audition in Memphis. 90 seconds to audition for 90 different theatre companies, and I had the worst audition of my life. Shit happens.
In March, I couldn't afford NYC anymore, so I moved back home to Erie...where I have amazing family and friends. I am fortunate to have a friend who let me crash in his spare bedroom for nearly 6 months....after I told him it would only be 2 or 3 months.
While in Erie, I had my amazing friends that I already knew...but I also made some great new friends while working at Starbucks, the Achievement Center, and DJing at the Sloppy Duck. New friends and fun jobs are good. That seems to be my theme for 2011. Fun Jobs and Fun Friends. And Beer.
The fun jobs and new friends didn't stop there...in August, I moved to Paju, South Korea where I am writing, developing, directing, and performing in original ESL musicals for children. My coworkers are all amazing people, my job is insanely awesome...and I live in Korea, making good money and not paying rent.
So...that's my 2011. Got off to a rocky start...ended up being pretty awesome.
What's up, 2012?
