Keifer and the moment...

I was just reading my last post so long ago, and I'm happy to say that the winter is officially coming to a fucking end. Out with the cold and in with the warmer. We Canadians are slightly obsessed with the weather. 

I am cat sitting as my mother is in Florida for a couple of weeks and it is such a pleasure to have this little girl around, only 1 yr old and so sweet a disposition. I have booked my first plane ride in many years as I am travelling to see my dear friends on Vancouver Island and then moving down to the mainland to finish the trip. The anticipation is so wonderful and I am hoping that the whole experience is as pure as my mind anticipates.

Professionally I had a high moment the other day. I have a new lady who is getting me  some extra work on the side and it is going well. Last week I did Designated Survivor with Keifer and this week it was The Girlfriend Experience.

In between I had an audition where they asked me to play Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I know, one of my favorite actors of all time and a genius. 

I went in there with no expectations and they asked me to do some improvisation on a couple of themes.  The first one was that I was getting frustrated and angry trying to learn my lines for something and then I was doing some drugs and passing out on the floor. 

So, there was no room for middle of the road,  luckily something came into my head that I said as a line and it went well. I told them that the drug part would be easier because i had experience in recovery issues and they liked that , imagine.   So I pretended to snort coke or heroine or whatever they were leaning towards, and it all seem to come together. They were complimentary and told me not to cut my hair, which I hope is a good sign going forward.

The point I was making was you know in life when you just have a moment of pride and a feeling of flow about something unexpected?
It just feels so right. Time just drops out of the equation. I experienced that when I came home and I was thinking about the next day on set. I am so grateful to have any type of moment like that, they have been few and far between.

To end I wanted to share a realization I had the other day which is that I have no conflict in my life. Other than lending an empathetic ear to others drama, I realized that my life has no conflict at all as it relates to me and my interactions.  I have to keep this going, I am not sure what the formula is though. That could be a problem in itself...
