Day Twenty-Nine...

O.k., i'm gonna toot my horn a little here so beware. I make KICK-ASS CD mixes! Yup, you heard right. In fact, it's almost a dying art form. Ever since high school, i've been making mix tapes. Which soon progressed to mixed CD's. Now i do create alot on the ol' iPod. But my favorite is still the CD mix for stashing in the car and pulling out for maximum driveability tuneage. Well, i opted to go on a CD giving BENDER to round out my 29th day. Yessirree, i must've compiled and given out at least 1… Continue

Day Twenty-Eight...

Cami and i have been eyeing a community garden not too far from our home. It's a big, beautiful sprawling garden in the midst of Hollywood. Once you get inside, the city completely disappears and all you hear are birds singing, hoes a-diggin', and hoses a-sprinklin'. A real beaut. We're fairly determined to get a plot there to call our own to start growing our own vegetables and stuff. In order to get a place, you have to volunteer 1-1/2 hours once a month on particular chosen day in the month.… Continue

Day Twenty Seven...

I had taken a Voice Over class recently where one of the instructors and one of the guest instructors were discussing how a newcomer to animation could work themselves into an already established group of voice actors working for a particular series or show. They then went onto to talk about this great guy, we'll call him Keith, who was starting in his very first animated series and was very nervous about it. He called the agent just before going in to tell her how petrified he was and did she t… Continue

Day Twenty-Six...

My wife asked me to call Sprint PCS to make a basic request of switching our phone plan from 3000 anytime minutes to 1500 minutes since we simply weren't using even half of the 3000 minutes. Simple right? You'd think anyway. I ended up on the phone for over 45 minutes with 4 different reps, was disconnected TWICE, and then finally spoke to a manager who stated "Well sir, it looks all the changes you requested have already been taken care of." "Um, excuse me?" "Yes sir, the changes have already b… Continue

Day Twenty-Five...

Being a Voice Over actor, i take great joy in NOT having to be too concerned about my appearance. I find great comfort in working in a darkened booth or studio with a script right in front of me while dressed in ratty jeans, t-shirt, 3 days of facial scruff or what have you. I mean, i don't go in a TOTAL slob but it's all about ZERO concern regarding appearance or script memorization. It's cool but it has also caused a bit of anxiety for me when i DO have to do audition for on-camera commercial… Continue

Hey Mark,
I apologize for not responding before this!! Just saw your blog! I KNOW! Cunningham is a great agency! Good for you! Who do you have for On Camera? I just finished reading Cami's book last night...my gift to Marty was to finish it (through sleepy eyes) so he could take it with him to NY on the train to read today. He was psyched! I'm glad that you and Cami have a decent hotel to stay at when you go to NY. As I said, next time you are back East and can manage it, Marty and I would love to have you, Cami and your Mom here for dinner.

All the best to you two! Susan

Mark' - You wrote this last year but it seems appropriate to remind you now.

"A refreshing, exhilarating wind is blowing and i want to be minutely responsible for some small part of it. ROCK ON BARACK, ROCK ON!!! "

Guess you're happy.

And a question - Did you get access to a veggie patch?

Hey Mark! So good to see you. Your website is great. I enjoyed listening to your work. Keep up the great work. Hannah had her second baby! Take care.

Thanks Mark - I am not usually into formal giving. I try to stay open to spontaneous giving every day though. So this is a more concious thing for me. I always feel good when I am at the service of others or empowered to lead by example-it definately makes my day brighter. I have already contacted several people I know are in need of some love and hope - thanks for the inspiration.
I hope all is well with you and Cami in Southern Cal. Miss you!

Gabrielle, I am a high school teacher and my experience is that there are very few 17 year old girls out there that are as wise and mature as you. I wish I had the insight you have when I was your age --shoot, when I was 27! It takes most women so l…

I only gave a small gift today as I spent most of it sequestered in my home cleaning. I actually woke up in a panic that I had forgotten to give yesterday! Then I remembered that I did actually give a bottle of Prosecco to my friends as a thank you…

Well, I lost track of where I was in round two, which is to say, I wasn't doing a very good job of self-care! I recently had a reading with Mbali. I was very frazzled going into it. Had a lot going on in several directions. Then the house phone sta…
