Today is the Solar Eclipse. The next one will be 7 years from now actually. According to Start Talk Radio with my homie Neil Degrasse Tyson. Of course I never met him but I look up to him.

It got me thinking today, I'm 30 years young as of this writing. I see all the things happening in the world up to this point in my life. Some good, some not great at all.

As I sit here thinking about life, I start to hear the cliche phrase of "life is short". I'm starting to find that true. I remember going to school and I would hate school. I hated doing homework, I hated doing tests, I just hated waking up knowing I had to go to school and do work, and tests and homework! Those were the times that felt like an eternity. It wasn't all that bad though. I met all my friends there, gained new experiences and knowledge of people and found out a lot about myself. After High School, life just started to speed up. Friends and family are older, and you have more responsibilities.

I ask myself, what have I accomplished over the years. I have accomplished many things of course. Am I happy? Yea of course. I married a smart, beautiful, creative woman, I have my health in good order, I'm not really in debt, I say not really but my wife is with school tuition and her debt is my debt. I've owned 6 cars and 5 motorcycles. Might not matter to you but it's fun for me to know.

I'm going to do more. It's time I work harder. Grind more. I want to own property, I want to know what it's like to have a million dollars in my name, open up my own business again. I want to do more photoshoots and acting gigs. I want to own my dream car just once. I'm going to work harder. It's a slow process but, its a process. I'm working toward it.

Before you say, "you don't need money to be happy, you don't need any of that stuff", these are part of my life goals. Goals motivate me. If I decided to drop those goals, guess what, I turn into a couch potato. So let me have these goals I set for myself. It doesn't hurt you since I'm the one doing it. There's no rush to getting there. I'm going to work my way towards it. It's not like I'm stealing the money from a bank either or doing some sort of money scam, I'm working for it.

These are my thoughts as of right now. Will I cry and be depressed if I never make that million dollars or own that dream car, or own real estate? Not at all. Because in the end, I'm still going to be happy that I tried and worked hard for it. That's better than doing nothing at all. That's one of the best goals I have, and that's to keep moving.

Also note, these aren't my only goals. I have to try to figure out how people would interpret this in their head. "THAT'S HIS WHOLE GOAL? GET MONEY!?" Honestly some people WILL be selective of what they read. So here it is, NO those aren't my only goals.

Today was a good day. Did some work for Chicago PD. So now I have Chicago Med and Chicago PD on my list. All I need is Chicago Fire and Ba-Boom! Got the whole Chicago.

I met a lot of cool people on set today. The extras were down to Earth and super friendly. It looks like I'm back at doing extra work. I remember saying I don't want to do extra work anymore but over here, I need the money huhuhuhu.

It was a short day but long waiting hours. Still glad to see and meet new people.

Here is a super small picture. I shouldn't get in trouble right!? You can't see anything anyways haha. I think you only get in trouble when you take pictures of the set and the actors. We're all in holding so...

I guess I'll do self portraits. Or attempt to. It'll be good practice for me. Also trying to do video on the side. Need me some more reels baby!

But I'm itching for a photoshoot... I miss it. I just need that photo fix haha.

The commercial I was in for the pizza place called Home Run Inn Pizza is up on Facebook. Pretty quick! It's just one part of the shoot that we did. I don't know if they'll continue to do the rest of the shots we took. Fun day. I loved it. I hope this keeps on going, the gigs.

I'm on the right side.

Fantastic talent and crew. I enjoyed working with them a lot! Hopefully we'll cross paths again! I'm sure we will haha.

The whole production crew and the owner of the pizza place was FANTAZZZTIKKK.

Shot a commercial for Home Run Inn pizza today. Not the main role but supporting. I had a blast. I always say the small types of work like these are where you can meet people and other talent and just get to know everyone. Big productions are cool too but you don't get to interact with a lot of people and if you do, you interact with the closes person next to you. Example, Chicago Med, when I was an extra for that, there were a bunch of people. A BUNCH OF PEOPLE. I couldn't talk to everyone because you barely saw some. I got to talk to maybe half of the talent which is great too, but these shoots like the Home Run Inn Pizza I had today are my favorites. You don't feel like an extra or a side character. You feel part of the shoot.

I also ate a whole personal pizza... Luckily it was small slices haha, but still a personal pizza.

I'll post pictures AFTER the production posts theirs. Because of course like most things, I could get in trouble posting too early haha. I know the rules. So possibly in 2 weeks.
