~*RETROGRADE SEPTEMBER*~

YO, mercury going into retrograde is real as fuck and i dealt with it 100000000000% the first half of september. i had about 8-10 gigs either cancel on me last minute, have me audition/say they love it and then ask if i was avail for the shoot day and then never followed through, or they’d be fake bookings (sometimes you think you’re applying to be on set but then you get an email “hey! so we already booked it but my band has a show tonight and we’d love the support” like... UGH i pay for these casting services and these assholes just waste my time! upload on your social media like normal people!). 

i even showed up to the open mic place i had been going to one monday and NO ONE WAS THERE. like, literally, no one. i found out later it was cancelled but damn mercury was fucking with me and my communication hard lol! 

there also was a booking where they wanted me sat/sun night for 2 overnight shoots for good pay and i responded and then they told me THE MOMENT THEY NEEDED ME that i booked. literally the email said- at 730 PM on a saturday night (keep in mind i submitted at 8 am that day...)- “hey! we’re gonna need you RIGHT NOW so just head on over! and then tomorrow will be 630 pm see you soon!”..... oh i’m sorry? WHAT? SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ARE PSYCHO. so i’m literally just supposed to sit on my couch waiting for your email in hair/make up ready to go with my wardrobe packed? when i submit at 8 am? you answer 12 hours later? NO. i have a life! i went to work. i worked out. and then by 6 PM when i didn’t hear anything and knew it was a night shoot i let myself have a life/go hang with friends. like literally w t f do they expect. it’s mind blowing to me. whatever....

there also was a nudity/topless situation that they wanted me but when i responded nothing. there was also a bondage thing for “my crazy ex” (lol) and they wanted me but it never panned out either. ~*whateva*~ keep hustlin’ yall. if i experience this in the span of 2 weeks i cannot even imagine what others are experiencing lol

the one time i made a 6 second video that is actually hilarious/too bad i’m not a viner LOL 

[andthenigotserious]

i usually pass over these articles cause they say stupid shit like "memorize your lines" and it's like uhhh yeah no shit. duh. lol but THIS article actually has things you might not think of/might not do. when i started doing all of these is when i started feeling more confident in the audition room/starting doing way better as an audition-er. 

there's no excuse: auditioning is our work. no matter how much you hate it it's a thing we realistically have to do so you might as well be the best you can be at it! you gotta give them a menu: do things others aren’t doing. don’t go for the typical choice. and follow this guideline! 

[andthenigotserious]

and to wrap up my birthday (from september....*ugh* so close to being updated LOL) the day after the drake concert i had friends over at my pool/we ate/drank/was merry as fuck and then i had dinner with everyone at one of my fav spots followed by dessert at my other fav spot! super low key this year but i loved it/it was just what i needed :) can’t believe i’m 26... damn. almost 30! lmao

[andthenigotserious]

i forgot to post this dope as fuck video from the drake concert on my birthday this year! he did this CRAZY medley i swear it was at least 10 min long of like every motherfucking hit ever i pretty much died and came back to life 923843274 times throughout the night LOL

this was hands down the best drake tour yet. the most special effects/videos/everything like fucking balls that lit up and moved and made different formations or that crazy rock-esque set for “HYFR” like i just can’t DRIZZY YOU SLAYED THE GAME AGAIN BOOBOO

i honestly was shocked at how little future was involved though haha i assumed it was gonna be like lil wayne vs drake but it was more like drake ft future haha but he killed the stage when he was on it! 

[andthenigotserious]

Do you vape?

very random question lololol so i'll say: sure! :p

[andthenigotserious]

shouldn't continue trying to make it as an actor, but either way, I don't think you should ever feel bad about what you've done or like you've wasted your time. If you stop doing this and decide to do something else, then you're someone who was adventurous enough to spend a few years of your life trying really hard on a dream, taking a risk--that's really cool and admirable IMO. Anyway I hope you don't mind me sending this but I was just sad to see you feeling sad. I think you're cool.

just wanted to let you know i answered this (i copy and pasted both parts into 1 post) a week or so ago but not sure you saw my response. just wanted to check in and say thanks for reaching out! it's super appreciated :) have a good one!

[andthenigotserious]

Hi, my niece got a job on the same show and we're waiting for it to air. I think it was in June, Aug 2016? Not sure. How do we find out when it airs?

hi! i work background on a lot of shows so i'm not sure which one you're referring to :p but what i do is check the receipt of your voucher sometimes it'll say what episode they filmed on it so you can look it up that way! otherwise start watching the show and keep your eyes peeled for you crossing in the back! best of luck and happy watching!

I make small films, small one-man shows Off Broadway and small comedy specials for Netflix — but I’m the person who showed up to talk to them. And now I’m the person offering you unsolicited advice — so if you don’t need it or want it, this is not for you. Anyway, I’ve boiled my answer down to six ideas.

to all my fellow actors/comedians/writers/directors/etc:

read this read this read this read this!!!!

xoxo,

you’re welcome.

[andthenigotserious]

a reminder for everyone out there, no matter what you do <3 KEEP PUSHING/HUSTLIN/ETC!

[andthenigotserious]

you know i was in a drake/future mood post concert and had to celebrate my birthday with a hip hop yoga flow... ;) #namasfuckinte

[andthenigotserious]

MY BIRTHDAY WAS LIIIIIIT THIS YEAR!!!!!! 2fucking6 yall... feelin old as fuck lol. i went to acting class in the morning, got my workout in, got my brows/hair done (hair cut/blown out!) then was able to just get ready for the drake concert all day/eat dope food/rage all night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE DRAKE/FUTURE CONCERT WAS FUCKING INSANE. i’ve been to every single concert of drake’s (like, every tour he has. not every single one ever) and this was hands down by FAR the illest set/lights/videos/everything. he had these crazy pink balls of light that would change colors and move into formations. the music was CRAZY he had insane medley’s of every hit single ever. he just fucking slayed. honestly felt bad for future he barely performed he was basically just featured it was 100% the drake show LOL and i couldn’t imagine a more perfect birthday. 

yes, i went by myself and i have 0 regrets. i just fucking love concerts alone... and there aint no shame in that! so many celebs were there too right in front of me cause i had pretty dope seats - first row right behind the floor seats! i saw lebron and g-eazy and pretty sure rihanna was backstage and he tried to call her out for “too good” but she didn’t come out... #awkward

oh and my mom sent me the cutest bday package with so many perfect things only i would love. i never ask for anything so i’m always happy with anything especially if it’s food/clothing related! lol

[andthenigotserious]

mr. kevin marshmallow is my favorite creature as well <3 (everything is my favorite. whatever. don’t hate lol)

[andthenigotserious]

this kitten is LITERALLY THREE FUCKING DAYS OLD. THREE. DAYS. OLD. UGH!!!!!! it had its umbilical cord still attached (that actually fell off while we were feeding- EW LOL) but wow. life is insane. this creature is so perfect. he was passing out cause he was milk drunk/just finished almost a full bottle! it’s so amazing seeing how strong the babies are from day THREE

seriously guys look into your local shelters and volunteer! it’s so worth it :) <3

[andthenigotserious]

the week leading up to my birthday continued to be dooope! lots of kitties, lots of puppies, lots of food, seeing family, etc! literally: can’t complain. i fucking love birthday weeks :D
