First February Post!

This is the first post of February! Isn't that exciting.

I hadn't made an update in a while, but for good reason-- I'm either extremely busy or incurably lazy. I'd like to think that I'm busy but I do spend my little bits of free time liking photos myself on Facebook. I've been spending two days a week at my internship and learning the representation side of the entertainment industry. Really fast-paced and sort of intimidating, but I think that I could really excel at it.

Tuesday is my UCB improv101 class. Absolutely an amazing experience. Something that I think is really cool about the improv game is that it gets me out of my head. I'm just doing things. And it turns out that sometimes those things are really funny. I've been beginning to realize that there are two different sides of Tony. When I'm comfortable, I shine. I'm on my A-game and making things happen.

When I'm out of my comfort zone, I clam up and get nervous. Which is, I think, normal.

But I need to expand that comfort zone, and I think the only way to do it is to spend more time in the situations that make me uncomfortable.

Womp womp.

But really, It's something I've recognized and am working on improving.

Goals for 2012:
-Get a full-time career job thing. You know, one in the entertainment industry that pays my bills. I think that's a great first step.
-Get comfortable. Really comfortable. Anywhere. I've got to be more relaxed to just be me. I'm not the obnoxious kid from high school and I don't have to be silent to be accepted. I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. Gosh darnit, people like me.
