A Clear Channel - Day 163

Started reading the book on proprioceptive writing before I went to sleep last night and ended up tossing and turning for what seemed like hours. I originally thought it would be something I could incorporate into this blog, but it is not. It's a very deep, spiritual, therapeutic type of writing which should remain private and not placed in a position where it can be judged. Obviously this blog is anything less than private. Despite the fact that there are hardly any comments (I wish there were more) I know people are reading. I know who's lurking in the shadows but there are also strangers who check in from time to time. Either way, I know some of you are judging what I write, how I write etc. and I have no problem with that. Believe me, I will never post anything here that I don't want people to know. Or judge. Or comment on. However, if I go the proprioceptive route, I would not be able to be completely honest with myself or anyone else. I would too conscious of my "audience". So I will continue to read the book and save those "writes" for my journal.
Speaking of an audience. I did stand-up tonight for the first time in a while. I did a couple of elder care jokes followed by some tried and true material. I had a good set, nice audience up there in Ventura County and had fun doing some improv, but I must say the best part was hanging out with my buddy Jason Dudey. We enjoyed our road trip. It was long overdue. Thanks Jennie McNulty for the gig!

A Clear Channel - Day 155

Had a wonderful 11 1/2 hour day on the set of PROM today. I didn't work on the actual film but was honored to be a part of a special DVD bonus written specifically for one of the main characters. An adorable, 6'6" tall, young actor named Nick. For someone his age he is quite focused on his craft and extremely confidant. It was a joy to work with him and chat between takes. He was reading a book on acting that I had to immediately order from Amazon. I haven't read a book on acting in years!!
The book I brought on set with me today was The Complete Elder Care Planner, so you know where my head is at. I am determined to approach this elder care assignment with as much grace, peace, serenity and balance as possible. One of the things I read in my book is something I totally plan to look into. It's a writing technique called "proprioceptive writing" that facilitates emotional health, spiritual awakening and creative breakthroughs. I believe I may have already started this process through blogging every night, but I wish to go deeper so get ready....you're going with me.
