An unforgetable day

this week we had a very special guest in our acting academy class her name is Olunike Adeliyi she's and actor who live in Toronto and stars on one of my favourite shows Flashpoint. it turns out to be that Olunike was a former student of my current teachers. she came to talk us about her experiences in the acting industry, and how she go to where she is now. and i have to say that that whole entire hour and 2o minutes that she was in our class was a simply inspiring!

some of the best adivce i have ever gotten came from that day. the one thing that i will never forget is when she talked about not letting people take advange of you by knowing yourself and why you want, she said that you have to make sure you are confident and don' t let any one try and convince you that you need them.

Olunike was truly a blessung to our class. she changed my perspective on how i see the film industry and made me aware of so many things i never thought about.

auditions

yesterday I had my audition of my school's Mainstage play. and it was definitely a never wracking experience to say the least. it was funny up until the last minute before my audition I was fine I was laughing it up and having fun with all of my friends who were also auditioning watching them going in one after the other. maybe it had to do with the fact that I was the very last addition that the would be seeing. I was standing at the door waiting for my turn to go in, and all of a sudden a wave of worry and anxiety came over me, (and on top of all of that I really had to pee lol.) but in the end I held my head up, took a deep breath and did what i came to do, and made sure I had fun doing it too! although I didn't get a part in the play, I still have fun and it was one more experience form me to learn from. and on the bright side i am now one of two student stage managers of the production, I guess all those years of being back stage are finally paying off :D

self-less vs selfish

Kay so, I think of myself someone who will do just about anything for the people I love and care about. whether they need money, a shoulder to cry one or just some one to talk to out of boredom. often times I will but the needs and feeling of my friends before mine own. I am the type of person that will give up my lunch for the day so that my best friend can eat,and I don't do these thing with expecting anything in return.

But here's the problem, the minute I begin to think about myself first and what I need. I am known as a selfish. so at what point does puttin your own needs above others make you selfish?

Unforgiven

Over the March break part of my home work was to watch a academy award winning or nominated film. i decided to watching the movie that won the year i was born.

the 1992 Academy award winner for best picture was Unforgiven staring Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman, and Richard Harris.A group of prostitutes in Big Whiskey, Wyoming, offers a $1000 reward to whoever can kill two cowboys who disfigured one of them. The story follows an aging outlaw and killer who takes on one more job years after he had hung up his guns and turned to farming. This movie is definitely A dark Western that deals frankly with the uglier aspects of violence and the myth of the Old West. Will (Clint Eastwood's characters) has now gone back to his old ways of killing for money. Through out the whole movie Will is trying to convince himself that his has change has he is only doing this job for the money. i found it interesting that after years of giving up that life style, getting sober, getting marries and having kids, that will was able to just drop everything to go chase after two wanted men. It really brings meaning to the saying old habits die hard. and it transfers to real life. so many times we drop bad habits and transform our lifestyle completely but as soon as thing get bad we automatically resort to our old ways. this movie really opened my eyes to how we love our comfort zones as how in a blink of an eye we find ourselves back in the situations we were originally trying to run form. although at first the movie doesn't seem like one I would have watched I found it quite enjoyable and i would definitely watch it again knowing that I'd find a new message.
