it was fun in class to imagine feeling and touching something that really did not exist.. at home when i tried the same exercise, this time physically touching my laptop with my eyes closed, I felt as if I am "seeing" it in a different way than usual. it brought to mind that we so often take the gift of our senses for granted.. thank you for helping me realize how lucky I am to have all my senses intact..

Today at 2:00 a.m.

Today at 2:00 a.m. I was sitting in my room contemplating what to write about. All that I could think about was how much fun I've had throughout the first week of class. My mother has always told me how good I would be at acting mostly because I'm somewhat good at impressions, at least she thinks so. I've never really considered a job in acting because I never thought I would be any good at it but throughout class I've started to tone in on different aspects of how a good actor works by noticing his surroundings and listening to everything that is going on around him. I'm looking forward to class today so that I can learn more about how to become a good actor.

My day alright so if were supposed to write about anything I guess I'll write about why I like my favorite actors because this is an acting class. My two favorite actors are Jamie Kennedy and Matt Damon. I like the two for completly different reasons but I guess thats because sometimes i'm in the mood for a comedy and sometimes I'm in the mood for a drama. I just am astounded at how similar my sense of humor is with Jamie Kennedy's. If I was told to write the script that I would consider the best ever it is Malibu's Most Wanted. I wouldn't change a thing. That is the perfect role for me and he was amazing in it. I also loved the Jamie Kennedy expiriment. I would have to say Matt Damon is my favorite serious actor because he can play so many different roles. He broke in playing a misguided genious in Good Will Hunting then moved on to movies like Rounders where he played a card hustler and became a action hero in the Bourne Supremecy. He also starred in the Ocean's 11 series where he teamed up with a who's who cast of Hollywood actors I just wish they could have written Jamie Kennedy in somewhere.

tuesdays class

so im not going to lie but i really liked the mirror exercise. i've done it a few times in the past and i don't think i had enjoyed it as much as i did on tuesday. it felt really relaxing to me and i really felt myself getting into it which was a really cool feeling. i was staring straight into the eyes of my partner and i almost felt like we were one person as we shared the same movements and i think that that feeling of connection and comfort was just really soothing for me. the motions i performed did remind me of drills we would do in the pool and i really like being in the water which also calms me down. so i think the fluid movements of my body and the connection between my partner was amazing and i can't wait to do it again.

Potpourri

Since we are allowed to write about anything I figured I'd just write about our past class, specifically the mirror exercise....I really enjoyed doing that because as a white person I have never really been able dance the robot. Growing up in a blue collar family on a blue collar farm I was never given the guidance or counseling to perform the robot as no one had ever seen it, in it's purest form. But junior high after junior high dance and beyond I would try so hard to impress my peers with my dancing robot moves, but I was never able to complete the dance. I hate to fit the stereotype but I always got so frustrated on the dance floor but after that mirror exercise I felt like a superstar because it felt like I was doing the most amazing robot the world had ever seen. I gained a lot of experience from that exercise and it has really helped me in continuing to reach my goal of becoming the greatest robot dancer in the world. I would like to just let everyone know that if you wanna see some magic just maybe try to come to the wheel or linder's or any Ashland bar late one night and you might just see some real fireworks
a.k.a. My Robot dancing skills

Our Class

Well I guess I will write about the class too. I really like the class and think that moving a lot helps the class go faster. I think it is really hard to actually carry out the tasks that our instructor asks us to do. It is hard to not think about your actions because for me I am always wondering what people are thinking and its hard to just "listen" without actually acting out listening and trying to express to everyone what we are listening to. Its difficult to think like an actor should. I guess its something that we aren't supposed to be good at if we are just learning about it.

Game and Class

So i guess that the one picture is patrick swayze, and anyway for the assignment for class since we can write about anything I am going to write about the class itself. I really have fun in class and as we all get to know eachother i think class will be much more fun. The mirror excercise was a fun too because it was interesting to see everyone doing different things. I especially like Anthony and Bill in our class too. Carbone is the man.
