nerves are keeping me
i can't sleep, and i haven't really slept in days.
here i am in new york city, my new home. i should be ecstatic, but i am more than nervous. can i start a life on my own? can i support myself? can i get everyone else out of my head and start focusing on me?
i don't even know where to begin. don't get me wrong. i am happy to be here. this is all i have been looking forward to in a year but now that i have it i don't know what to do with it.
i am so nervous. i want stability. i want a steady income. i want damn good training. i want auditions. i want a kick ass apartment. i want a lot. i have to make this all happen for myself and the thought of it is daunting, more than daunting.
so i can't sleep. i can't sleep at all. what am i doing?
more later...

You can do this Trevor! Just keep thinking positive! You will get whatever you want in this life. Love You!!!! oh, and I miss you!
Of course you can. the first thing to do is take a class. Somewhere like HB. Its really inexpensive and low key there. Small school and a great vibe. Once you're there you'll make friends and have scene partners, and can start networking. I went there and Ethan Hake was in my class. I studied with Uta Hagen. Keep your head about you and just live acting. Uta says, "love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art"...basically dig deep, don't be so impressed with acting as a job, just do the work and get your chops. You'll do great!.

Hey man...like I said you gotto go out and meet people you'll have something in common with and a common passion fro. And just remember this one piece of advice y immigrant Italian mom told me when i was 11. "always get involved with people better, smarter and more talented than you" Reach for the stars.

We also did an interview with one of the Billy Elliot kids yesterday too.This is our new entertainment channel www.ap-red.com you can see the interview we did with the Memphis leads there.
