to feel without seeing

Well thursdays class exercise made me realize it's really hard to feel something that isnt there. At some points during the exercise I did actually feel like I was touching sand or touching playdough but other times it was very difficult and I got frustrated. i dont know if it was easy for all of you but I had a hard time with it. Once I did actually feel it, it was cool to think that I was touching something that was physically not there. I think this class is definitely teaching me alot about making me appreciate my senses that I have.

This weekend was pretty sweet. I went to the Ashland-Grand Valley State game Saturday night. The atmosphere was great, since the stadium was pretty much packed. Me and my two roomates painted our chests with the numbers of our favorite Eagle stars. It was a great time untill a storm rolled in half way through the second qaurter. The game got cancelled almost as fast as my spirit. It was a sad day, but the afterparties were great.. Which is all that matters.

Browns

I am a diehard Cleveland Browns fan. I've been waiting for today since January. The Browns are playing the Pittsburgh Steelers and I don't think that the first game of the year can be more important. There are so many issues involving this team that makes this year so important for my Brownies to win. The game is starting in a little bit and if your bored watch the Brownies play. GO BROWNSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ramblings and Game Clue

I watched a few movies this weekend and I was suprised to notice all of the things we have worked on in class. Actors reacting to things and sounds that were obviously not there at the time of filming. The minor facial twitches and hand movements. Even using their hands when they spoke. Very interesting...

GAME CLUE.... First, so far I'm not getting much of a response in guesses, if y'all don't want to play that's okay I can quit posting pictures. I just thought it might be fun. We'll see...

This young lady is now a VERY famous country singer. Arguably one of the top 5 female vocalist in country music (personally, I think she is the #1 female country singer).

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.
