Male model??

haha, funny story for you guys today. Ait, well i almost became a male model. ya. close clal huh?

I mean, i dono some ppl say im good looking, i think im just ok. but I wuld never see myself as a model

Anyways, the story starts when I was working at stiches in the CNE, and a talent scout approached me and asked if I would ever consider doing commercials etc. So I said, ya sure, I love acting and entertaining, and maybe it could help my career.

So then I get a call the other weekend asking for an interview. Basically they said I had a look and that I should come in for a consultation and bring one headshot and full length photo.

But I didn't have anything, and I dono why I was slacking so much this week, I forgot. So the day comes by and Im like, oh shit what do I do. I wore like a green polo shirt and some nice jeans and went to school. I told my girlfriend to take some pics on her phone and she sent it to my phone but they were rlly blurry. So I decided to go to a photo shop on campus to take a head shot. THey basically jsut took a passport photo and it sucked cuz i kept blinking and shit. Anyways I did it, and they give me this tiny little square photo. I'm like thx. SO then I get an i dea, maybe I should print somethign off facebook.

So I go on their computer, log onto facbeook and find an ok pic and print it out. It was so weird , cuz thers a line up of ppl behind me, jsut watching as I log on and look at all my stupid pictures on facebook. So anyways, I do that, and i realize, this photo doens't show my whole body, it cuts at about my legs area.

So I look through my phone and remember the photo my gf took. So i wondered if there was anyway they could print it out, and so I waited in line again, and asked them, and they're like no, cuz u need a cable for that. SO im like FINE!. i go to the campus computer store and ask them and they have no idea. But they're like, thers this usb that might work. So I bought he thing for like 20 bucks, but like hell no im not going back to the photo shop.

So I decide to print it from the library, but in order to do that I need money in my U-Card, so i go to the office to deposit money, adn then i see a bunch of free computers there so I go in and hook up my cell phone to the comptuer and shit, It worked!. THe pictures all transfered to my computer. I then proced to print out one photo, and it came out...blurry as hell. to big I guess, so i start printing smaller coppies, but then the printer just decided to stop working. So There I am pissed off, and I don't know what to do, so i just keep clicking print. Eventually I go on facebook and wait 2 minutes before trying again. And FInaly one picture comes out, ok I guess.

So ya, I finally get the pics. then I go to the interview, and it was so weird but cool I guess.
Its a nice area. So I go into the interview and the interviewer was really cool. She was like rlly straightforward and explained like what's going on. Then she started asking me a series of questions that were rlly fun to answer. Stuff that I could do, and couldn't. Measurements. Can I do any accents. Can I sing. can i play sports. can play instruments. then i had to show her my hands. then stand in the center and say something to her. It was pretty cool, i was really excited and she showed me how it works, basically they get like auditions for commercials and stuff.

But then she told me something. She explained they were the only agency to pay for all the acting classes and everything to prepare me for auditions and stuff, however, they don't pay for my photo shoots. Basically I need to get industry standard photo shoots from a photographer, and it would cost me at least $500. Thats' when it hit me. I was so upset lol. I mean, you may think, big deal, you didn't even plan it. But like the thign is, deep down inside, ever since I saw Zoolander, I've always wanted to be a male model. I thought I was like so good looking that they would love me and just hire me right there and then, but I guess I was so naive. I forgot that i'm not the only person that wants it. And the way they weed out the ones that are willing to make sacrifices, is by this startup cost.

I was so crushed, and as I was leaving the building, i looked back at my dream, being shattered. As I started walking, it started to rain lol. I took the subway, and looked at myself in the reflection of the window and asked myself "Who Am I?". Then i realized, that maybe I'm not cut out for modeling, I'm not that fit anyways. Im not even close to my peak. I remembered that I'm a musician first.

I just got inspired to get back and just kick ass again. I remembered how awesome it feels to play the guitar in front of ppl and just have fun on stage. I can't wait for our show at Eastern Commerce, so many memories at that school. I talked with one of the organizers and found out we'll get to play about 3 songs, spread out throughout the show. I also inquired and they said they'd try to find out if we can get footage of our April Fools Show, as u may have remembered, which was crazzy.

Anyways guys, thats pretty much how my day went yesterday lol, its a lot longer in real life than in words, so stressfull, yet so full of adventure, I live for this, even though ppl think I'm an idiot, This is the lifestyle i prefer, I hope you guys can enjoy and get something out of my life as inspiration, or motivation. later!
