Okay, the other night I filmed a monologue.
What do you think?
I went to see the new Indiana Jones movie last night. I thought it was pretty good just because I'm a huge Indy fan. And I must say, Shia LaBeouf, Indy's "Sidekick", can pretty much just shut up.
Grr, I hate him. I'll be better than him. Someday. :O

Why Hello Thar!
Yeah yeah yeah, I haven't made an update in a while.
I sorry.
I finished my Japanese class last week. That was interesting. We had to do a skit... in Japanese. Class started at 10... but I didn't know that. I thought it started at the normal time of 11. So I get there 10 minutes before the end of the class. I walk through the door and every says "THERE HE HIS!!!!"
I was like "What? Why are you all here?"
Class started at 10.
Oops, my bad.
So that's that.
I've been starting my JuJitsu classes. It's every Monday and Thursday. So far, it's pretty cool. I'm having lots of fun with it and learning some pretty sweet defense moves. Hehe. Just yesterday, I learned how to evade a knife attack. Defend a roundhouse kick. And a wrist lock. So fun.
I got my GPS Device in the mail today. I used my Plasma Donation earnings to buy it. It's pretty sweet, I love it!
Let's see, what else...
Gas is up to $3.85. Ugh. Despicable.
I've been searching for some places in LA to live. I found a really cool Condo in Downtown LA that's within the price range I'm lookin for ($1200). It's got a really neat view of the city.
I'm working on filming my monologue to send to my potential agent out in LA. I've got a few of them to do. Including one from Ferris Bueller. Cause that's an awesome movie.
Other than that, not much else is going on. Just living day after day. Woo!

It is only through struggle does one cultivate the strength to reach their true destiny.
Good morning everyone!
My name is Tony Rose and I'm here to tell you about my week.
It's been a fabulous one, let me tell you!
Let's start with Friday.
I went to see the Iron Man movie. Wow, that was fantastic. Robert Downey, Jr., played an excellent performance. Can't wait until I can get into high-budget movies like that. Not if, but when!
I've been searching around online for places in LA. I've found a couple potential winners. Can't wait to fly out there to check em out. I've realized we could just get a 1 bedroom apartment and have one of us sleep in the living room on a pull out futon or something.
There's two weeks left of school. Finally that'll be over. Ugh.
Gas is up to $3.64/gallon. Ew ew ew ew ew ew.
I think I've been averaging about 28 mpg in my car. Not too bad. And with school getting out, I won't have to drive into Eau Claire four days a week. That adds up quite a bit.
Otherwise, the rest of my week has been pretty uneventful.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Night.

Last night was exciting!
Hey everyone. I'm sitting here at work being kinda bored. So I decided to make a new blog entry.
I have to poop, but the only bathrooms out here are in the pool room. So they're always wet. But I will be honost, sometimes I do go into one of the empty rooms and lay bricks in there. It's quiet and I can get my job done relatively fast. Woo!
Anyway, I had fun last night. Some of my old friends from TTM were gonna be hanging out at one of the bars down here. I thought I'd surprise them all and show up!
Yeah, they were surprised. I went there with a bottle of water. That's how awesome I am. Went to a bar with a bottle of water. When the bartender asked what I wanted, I said I'd have a soda. Then I told her I wasn't 'of age' and she said I couldn't be in the bar. Oh well. So we took the party outside. That was fun. We got lots of pictures and all that fun, exciting stuff.
Then this big drunk guy pulls up in his big red pick-up truck. He parks across three spots and was clearly intoxicated. His name is Bob.
So Bob is staring at us as he's walking/dragging his feet inside. He's mainly staring at me. He goes inside and gets his drink, then he comes back out and he says to me, "I think you need to get on out of here." I ignored him and kept chatting with other people. "You...you need to get rolling. C'mon". Finally, I said, "Why?"
"You just gotta leave" he grumbles.
"Nah, I don't think so"
"No, just get out of here"
And by this time, I'm standing tall, arms crossed, waiting for something to happen.
"What, do you own this place?" I asked.
"Duh..duh yoo own this place?" He cleverly responded back to me.
"No, I don't, but I have the right to be here, so take a hike."
At that point, the owner of the bar came and got him:
"Bob, Bob, come inside, no, Bob, c'mon in."
So he goes inside, but he's staring at me through the window the for the next 10 minutes as I'm flashing everyone my hairy nipples and hot abs.
So finally I leave and as I'm walking by him, I say "See ya, BOB!"
And he grumbles something and I feel awesome.
Woo! That was my exciting night.
This Monday, I think Brady and I are going to check out that Jujitsu martial arts class. We has a coupon for like 50% off for 2 months. Uniforms included. I think it's like a $170 value. And hey, we're moving to LA, you never know when it may come in handy. And I think it'd be a good thing to know. And it's fantastic exercise.
Okay, well, I think I'm going to get back to my JORB!
See ya!

YO, I'll tell ya what I want-
What I really really want.
It was on the radio today, so it's stuck in my head.
I WANNA HA, I WANNA HA, I WANNA HA, I WANNA HA, I WANNA REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY WANNA ZIG-A-ZIG, AHH.
Okay, anyway.
What a fun week this has been.
Wednesday I had my audition for the agency. That was pretty cool, there was maybe 13 people there auditioning. Even a really really cute asian girl. Didn't get her name, though. And I feel kinda bad for her because of what she may or may not be getting into.
I can probably guarantee you that almost everyone auditioning was told that they wanted to sign them. I did my audition, they loved me, I called back the next day and they said they wanted to sign me...Under one condition:
They wanted me to go into their 20-week, $2000 training program.
"Uh, no freakin' way" I thought.
So I did some research on the company
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/315/RipOff0315909.htm
http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/12.09.99/powers-9949.html
It's sad to know that some people are actually going to give them money.
I can't seem to find that girl anywhere on MySpace to warn her. Oh well.
Anyway, I talked to Riley, my contact out in LA about it. He said it's a complete ripoff and that they've got better classes with his company that are much cheaper. $300 for 8 weeks. Not too bad.
He also said that I should definitely get a job waiting tables. He said he did it when he was first starting out and he'd make around $500-$600 a week in tips. So I think I'll give that a shot.
I'm gonna set up a meeting with him for the week Brady and I go out there. And maybe even get a photo shoot so I have new pictures ^-^.
I went and saw The Forbidden Kingdom yesterday. That was a pretty cool movie. Jet Li and Jackie Chan in the same movie was sure to be awesome. The Chinese girl in it was gorgeous as well! I think I have an Asian girl obsession. SWEET!
Okay, that's all I have to say for today.
Gotta work a double shift tomorrow: 9-11.
Night!

HELLLOOOO EVERYONE!
So, everything is pretty much awesome.
Fun time
So the owner of the AmericInn is in town. We're doing a big renovation to all the rooms. New carpet, beds, furniture, tvs, paint, pictures. Awesome. Although he's kind of a cocky dick... ;)
He's got the "I own 4 hotels, so I'm better than everyone and I want everything done my way and so you're doing it wrong." attitude. Oh well.
Saturday we went to GamGam's to see Jessica and Johnny! He's so cute. And full of energy! Ugh. But then again, so am I. We were pretty evenly matched. We hung out all night. I took him to Mounds Park and got some pictures.
He is fluent in Italian. And English. His name is Giovanni in Italian. And ジョンさん in Japanese. :P
And he's in TaeKwonDo. We faught. It's tough to fight someone who is a third your size... he kept punching up. Not cool.
Theresa and I sang Let It Be on the Piano. That was fun. She's super cool, too. I gotta drive up there someday.
I guess Jessica is having her wedding in Italy in a few years and we're all invited. I'm super excited! Italy! Woo!
I found out yesterday that I have an audition for an agent in the cities on Wednesday. I'm gonna memorize a couple monologues for it. I'll use the one I used at ITS, and probably this one:
I've seen a lot. I mean, not like that, not, I mean ... (takes a breath) For instance, I've seen that you're maybe one of, I don't know, three people in the world that likes pizza-flavored chips. You're also the only person I've ever seen that spends more time on the roof of her house than in her actual house. And what are you doing? You're reading. Books. You know, not "US Weekly or "Seventeen", or, you know... but you're reading substantial books. You also do this, uh, ... (scratches head, chuckles) You do this thing where, it's like an OCD thing, but it's not. It's, um ... Whenever you're leaving your room, you grab the doorknob, you turn it and you're getting ready to leave but you don't, you stop and you back up and you turn to the mirror and you stare at yourself. But it's not like a, you know, "I'm so hot" kind of stare. You know, it's more like ... "Who am I, really?" And to ask yourself that, I mean, that's so cool. So you look out the window all the time like I do, only you're looking at the world, you know? Tryin' to figure it out, trying to understand the world. Trying to figure out why it's not in order like your books. (long pause) I'm only looking at you.
It's from the Shia LaBeouf movie: Disturbia.
Can't wait to see what happens. The Agent I will be auditioning for has been in the business for 25 years and has had lots of celebrities as her client. So if anything, I can at least get some good advice from her.
Brady and I bought our plane tickets for LA. We're gonna fly out June 9-13. We got a package deal that comes with the tickets, a hotel room, and a car. Costing a total of $1109.14. So split between us. About $558. Not too bad. I'm gonna try and get discounts on the hotel room.
Quick note, whenever you're going to stay in a hotel/motel, ask for the Corporate rate. At my hotel, the corporate rate is about $20 cheaper than the standard rate.
I'm gonna try to do that with the car rental, too.
Yes, you have to be 25 to rent the car, but if you're not, you can pay $25 extra per day for the car. So that's what we'll end up doing.
We plan on looking for jobs and apartments. I'm gonna meet up with some agents and what not. And then we plan to do the move early July. Can't wait! I even now have a grill to bring! Score.
Alright, well I'm going to get ready for work. Yay, work.
I work hard! Put in 87 hours on my last paycheck. w00t.
See ya!
