Give me LIBERTY!

So its going on 4 months on being back from tour. I have been pretty busy. It's been nice. But now that the audition season is slowing down. I am getting bored and more poor. I need a J.O.B. I would prefer in the theatre but right now I think I will have to settle for anything that pays in that GREEN stuff. Anything will do. I do have a job coming up in July but for only 3 weeks. I'm grateful for that job

I have been seeing the dentist also. I finally got my root canal and crown done. So that is over. Woosh! I need more work done but I don't have the cash to finish it all. I found out that if you qualify you can get Invisilign from k9 to k9 for really cheap like $1,000 bucks. I was really excited cause I wanted to do it. But I found out that I didn't qualify due to too much crowding and I would need a full mouth ortho for $4000. UGHH!! I can't afford that! I want to get it done so bad. I will do anything. I hate the thought of borrowing money but I'm at the point of looking into it.

Anyway, past few weeks have been good. Just auditioning and working on getting my body into shape for my next project in A Chorus Line. I also had the opportunity to see a good friend of mine April in Philly(the birth place of out country). She just married in Utah and I was not able to attend because of the cost of flights but she was in Philly the week after because her NEW Husband's work. So I took a cheap bus to Philly and hung out for the day. We had a great time and had some good food. YUMMY! I wish April and Kevin a very blessed marriage.

I didn't like it that much.

The Happy Couple. They are so cute!

Jersey Shore Marathon Relay Race

The Team. 5 man/woman relay race. We each ran to finish a 26.5 mile marathon. My leg was 4.5 miles.

My turn. Trying to pass a friend.

I PASSED HIM! YAH!

Coming to the finish of my leg. I was so happy. Jumping for JOY

Happy to be done. Jersey Shore in the background.

We went to Cheesecake factory to celebrate after our run.

Didn't get any cheesecake but we sure got NACHOS!!!

Overall it was a good day. It started at 5am. I was so tired when I finally got home. But well worth it. The run was to support the Special Olympics. It felt good to run for a purpose. I also wanted to do this for my family. Maybe inspire them to be a little healthier (as I munch on some Nachos) lol!

One Reason Why I love...

NEW YORK!

Central Park in the Spring!

THE MARRIAGE REF!

So yesterday a friend IM'd me on gchat and wanted to know if I wanted to go to a taping of THE MARRIAGE REF in 10 min. Its a new show on NBC created by Jerry Seinfeld that tapes here in NYC. So last minute I got dressed and got in a taxi. We got there just in time and there we were in the audience. WE had such a blast. It was really fun seeing the celebrities do there thing and improve. There was a guy on the panel that I didn't know but became his fan. HE was so funny! I can't say who he was cause I had to sign something saying that I wont say who will be on. It should air in like 3-4 weeks. I can't wait to see what they keep and what they cut because there was some really riskay things that were said and ad-libed. lol. I love NYC for this. Just randomly go to a taping of a show and FOR FREE. Love it!

"I need this job Oh God, I need this show."

So I GOT the JOB! Its only a 3 week gig in JULY in a small theatre in the middle of the forest about 100 miles outside the CITY in NY. But the kicker is that I will be playing the role of PAUL in A CHORUS LINE!


I am so excited to play that part. First the dance is incredible in it and his monologue(story) is pretty incredible. So I am excited. Paul has been a dream role of mine and I feel lucky to play it.

So here are the details.

Rehearsals start June 24th
Performances: July 6-18

@ the Forestburgh Playhouse
in Forestburgh, NY

I am still auditioning and trying to line other things up. So even thought this is great I am still pounding the pavement and hoping for a BIG job.

Oh and by the way, SPRING IS HERE in NYC and it's BEAUTIFUL! The weather is fantastic. I wore SHORTS today. I am a happy BOY!

Audition Season

So I have been crazy busy with auditions. Everyone is auditioning for there summer shows and there are also alot of Broadway shows looking. I figure since I have been gone for so long I need to put my face out there and audition for everything. I've had some good auditions and had many bad ones. Nothing so far in the horizon but I am still hopeful.

In the mean time I am enjoying not working and enjoying the city. The weather is finally getting nice. So I try my best to be outside as much as I can. The other day after a crazy morning and afternoon of auditions I walked from 34th street to my home on 111th Street. That is over 70 blocks. It was fun! I am an outside boy. Being indoors and lazy can be nice sometimes but I would rather be outside soaking up the sun and being active. I am from Miami after all.

So, my focus right now are on auditions. Send good and positive vibes. I NEED a job ;)

First POST BACK in NYC!

So its been a month and a bit since I have been back from tour and I am loving it. I have been busy getting my feet on the ground so that is why I haven't blogged in a while. I have my new apartment(pics to come soon) and I have been auditioning alot. Things have been really busy since I've been back which has been nice. I have also had opportunities to catch up with some friends and evaluate some of my life goals.

Here is a picture of me and some friends from my little birthday bash last night at a club called SLATE here in NYC.

Claudia, me, Kelli and her boyfriend Sandy.

Tomorrow is my "real" birthday so I think I will just hang out run some errands then have some dinner with some friends. I am turning 31! AHHH! But I feel great where I am. Healthy and doing fine. Bring it on 31! Bring it on!
