RE: Jack Daniels, YOU are the coolest guy on here, what you said to me is what ive been waiting for all along, if only I didnt hear this when it all started. Thanks for being straight with me, I sincerely appreciate it and I do deserve to be told off and I take that on the chin and appologise. You are the first person to really make me laugh about myself "with the wine stained mid life crisis" THAT made me laugh my lils off. YOU are the kind of person who I feel has the right to tell people what to do on here. I wish you were my agent.
I LOVE This bit , I wish you would write a book for people like me.
: Nine) Relax. Stop stressing. Life is short. Accomplish every dream you have, no matter how stupid or slight, just do your absolute best. If you want to make a short film, do it. A podcast? Easy. Open mic, easy. Draft a novel, sketch a comic strip. Stop being so negative because you'll lose and carry regret into old age. If you have a good idea, chase it. Don't stutter or put it off, chase it like a motherf**ker because the second you give up, that's the story of you... what could've been.
In keeping with the positive karma, here's my last bit of lightweight food for thought before I wander off again:
Good luck, and calm down.

If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs, and maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.
THAT should quote should be in the hall of fame and up with the greats. I feel like ive ticked many of those boxes, the jobs won't even employ me, my last job as a court usher I ended up doing stand up in the waiting room whilst people cried about divorces, I upset some Judges with my comedy, I had to leave my boyfriend in cornwall in 2006 when I decided to be an actress after being on some reality Tv shite thing about my life....... All my realtionshits- (shits) havent worked since then because im too focused. Ive put having kids and marriage on hold, I ended up writing a screen play for kids last year and this took up all my life and ended the relationship I had at the time, I felt like I was on Saturn and I even went there a few times at 5am when I was writing. Mozart helped. I was homeless in February and yes I did sleep on a park bench, ive been skint since 2006 and live off very little a day, I have an autoimmume disorder called graves disease and have been ill and now am well, sort of... I do need to calm down though like you said.
Ive managed to talk lovely kind people into letting me stay in their house whilst I try to "make it". I had to use my first acting showreel, my presenting showreel and my screen play and comedy showreel rejection letters as bog roll because even Lidl is too expensive. Ive been to jail but only for one night and that was ten years back but CRB check came back ok as it was only for drugs- personal use before I went to India to become a yoga teacher. Ive lost many friends because of my ambitions and dreams and had to "cut my cloth". My family were ashamed of my sketches for a long time but they now "know" what I want and that ill do what I can to make it.
Jack, your post was what I wanted all along. THANK YOU for being you and putting me in my place and putting it all into perspective. I love you in a non thespian way but in a brotherly thank you gratitude way.
Oh and one last thing: Ten) Start using the space bar in your posts. ha ha ha that made me chuckle too, ive been told off before, but ive got all this mad stuff in my head and it just comes out , I do need to put things in paragraphs and I need an editor but one day, one day when all this hard work and suffering has paid off im sure ill get one. I prefer acting not writing . Ive got big plans to do great things, I lived in India for seven months and saw poverty unlike the poverty im currently living in, I saw things that would make some peoples arses wink, when ive made it im going back there to set up some cool stuff to alieviate some poverty, my vision is not all about me like some people on here think. Do you think in space they have bars, I bloody hope so beacause im going to shoot the moon and after that im going to need a drink. Thanks Jack you fantastic person. xxx
Don't be nasty guys, amazing revelations going on, I understand the 'stream of conscience' that is displayed here.
Juan stop stirring man, any comment regarding the actual thread?
