Just a little update.

So I just got the call yesterday that I'll be going on this weekend in "Two Gents".  Not a major role but it will be my debut on the Tavern stage.  I also found out that I'll be going on stage at the end of the month, same show, different role.

And.......I'm going to be a Dad!  (Wow, I'm going to be a d....)

pitter patter pitter patter..........

Hmmm.....what could possibly make that sound around our house????(!!!!!!)

Well, well, well.  It's been quite a while since my last post, hasn't it?  (yes it has)  In case some of you aren't subscribed to Jaime's Xanga, I'll brief you on a few things.  We have our own apartment now.  It is truly a gift from God.  We started working as the Cares Team here and I think it will be good year. 

Second, I have started my life in professional theatre at the New American Shakespeare Tavern, (http://www.shakespearetavern.com).  Most of the work we have done has been a huge review for me.  It's a repeat of voice and movement almost, but with a lot of new things or "taking it one step further".  I love it.  I will be understudying Two Gentlemen of Verona, which starts next month and I'll be on stage for the ever-so-popular Romeo and Juliet.  I'm not sure yet what parts I'll be playing.  I've already been having an amazing experience there.  My fellow members of the Apprentice Company and I are already becoming an ensemble which is really cool.  Aside from taking classes we do have other work to do, such as working the front bar, lights, house managing, ASM, and of course cleaning the toilets.  Someone has to do it.  It really is a great theatre.

I'm kind of running out of things to say right now so...............

Ok so here's my new game plan for my life...

First, legitimate acting, and when I say legitimate I mean the kind in which my clothes stay on 89 1/2% of the time.  When that fails to bring in the riches, there's hosting a TV show, not my own show.  Picture COPS meets America's Funniest Home Videos meets Golden Girls.  Yes, funny clips sent in by security guards at local nursing homes.  But I won't be hosting the actual show.  I'll be hosting the infomercials selling the videos of each season.  After my agent decides he's not getting a big enough cut, he sets me up for the audition of my life and now I have the lead role in "Chris Farley: The man who lived in a van down by the river and ate government cheese".  My costar, the man to play David Spade, would be.....David Spade (what else is he doing? jk).  The show is however a flop forcing me into early retirment, selling swords and mangos from overseas at a road-side shop called "Sharp and Tangy".  After many years of slow business and selling to carnies I decide to get back in to the Biz.  Unfortunately, the only gig I can get is working as the announcer of "The Olsen Hour", a talk show hosted by the Olsen twins.  And there, I sadly end my career.

We'll see what happens. 

And remember kids always keep your anger like a monkey trapped in a pinata, hiding among the candy, hoping the kids don't break through with the stick.

Hey gang (and by gang I mean the singular version.  How do I know it's being read plurarly?)

Well Jaime's been gone for a few days now and does not return until this Saturday.  (side-note: Stella, a new comedy show on Comedy Central, is on right now.  extremely funnily hilarious).  And b/c she's been out I've to find someone else to talk to: my friend, Mr. Television.  And it's got me thinking, there is a lot of reality TV out there.  Everything from dating shows to watching moustached-police chasing down half-dressed hillibillies.  Yes everything.  Everything but the Christian reality TV shows.

Which brings me to my newest idea:  Holy Hijinx! (name subject to change).  Who wouldn't want to watch a house full of ministers, Sunday School Teachers, church secretaries, and TV Evangelists living together for six months in an abandonned Spanish mission?  Think of the events we'd see:  our HH crew competing against the Jewish League Allstars in a hot dog eating contest (I wonder who would win that game).  Each week, a committe would form and vote a house leader known as the "Mr. Holier Than Thou", who would then pick, I mean pray about, two members to be voted on by the rest of the house, I mean "committee".  That member would then be ''sacrificed" and forced to live in the real world, I mean "Paganville". 

Sounds like a winner huh?

Anyway that's my time.  Until my next rhyme................

And remember kids, I love Jesus (seriously).
