Chillax, already!

Do you ever feel like things are going well - you're pretty happy and pretty carefree....

And then you go out into the world and get bombarded by people. I've noticed how a lot of people are subtley negative - and its just exhausting to be around. I know very few actors who are chill. Many of them that you run into start to do a monologue about what THEY are up to. THEM THEM THEM THEM THEM. Sometimes I find it interesting and even endearing, and I try to have some compassion because lord knows I've been that person myself. But man, its really hard for me to be around these days.

I want to be around confident, helpful artists. The kind that DON'T exhaust you talking about themselves, the kind that really do pay attn when you talk to them, that aren't thinking about what they have to do next to further their career. That have other interests.

Does this mean I might as well leave New York?? I just think there's more to life than the biz. And I want to be around people who have OTHER interests. Who are chillaxed. I want to be a well-rounded human being.

Boy, I would never survive in LA. I hear EVERYONE there is about the biz.

I think I need to make it a point to be around non-actors these days -- to protect my artist. To be a more well-rounded, happy person.
