Hits, Misses and Pole Dancing

Agent called for two auditions yesterday: one of them for a very nice job. Had plans to take the kids to Huntington Beach with friends. Hmmm. What to do. I went pole dancing...just kidding. More on that in a minute. Of course, I kept my plans with the kids and friends. It was worth it. I am one who hates to miss opportunities, but either way I would be missing one and in this case, I didn't want it to be Southern Cal Beach fun. It's getting easier to skip an audition and not feel like my career will be over...assuming a "career" started. Oh, yes, and my very shortened scene on Gene Simmons Family Jewels has sparked quite a few calls and comments. I feel like I've done very little in my short "career," yet I've been on national television twice and in the Los Angeles market several times, among other things. Time to count blessings and stop comparing myself to Jennifer Aniston. On to pole dancing. Now, that was f-ing crazy fun. My friend celebrated her 40th and rented a party bus for about 25 of us (couples). We drove around and had our cocktails in between bar stops. Sat right next to a pole in the back of the bus. Need I say more? A lot of latent sexual expression around us. Be honest. Wouldn't it be fun and liberating to have a few drinks and be encouraged to pole dance to a cheering group of adoring friends? Yes, I did a little myself and I don't even feel that pent up! Felt like college, again. Damn, that was fun. When is the last time you really had a crazy, fun evening/day? If it's been a while, don't wait. Make plans and go enjoy the beauty of being alive!
