What "Survival Jobs For Actors" Says About Your Acting Career

Did you even know there was a book out there called:

"Survival Jobs For Actors" by Michelle Dyer? (Website)

And you can get it HERE ON AMAZON

I didn't think you did!

But yes- it turns out that I am not the only person trying to help actors make money instead of TAKING it like so many other "gurus" out there:

 

Michelle has her own business, and she began it with this book,
and she agrees that other actors should follow hers and my example!

 

"I actually followed his advice already in writing my book, and in building this website around it.

You see, people buy my book now without me trading time for it.
It’s already done. It’s out there, and people buy it."

How's THAT for a testimonial?

"Survival Jobs For Actors" by Michelle Dyer (Website)

The thing is, that when you're looking for jobs for actors, most people fall into doing the usual- waiting tables, walking dogs, and watching babies.

All of these actor jobs have a fatal flaw: They require you to spend your TIME making money instead of promoting and being free to pursue your acting career.

But if you follow my advice, like Michelle did, then you can be free to make money outside of your time.

Actors Love To Make You Feel Good; Mostly Because We're Miserable.

"Be The Source", my favorite spiritual teacher Neale Donald Walsch says:

"If you want more money, BE THE SOURCE of more money for another"
"If you want to find love, BE THE SOURCE of love for another"
"If you want to be happy, BE THE SOURCE of happiness for another"

It sounds like backwards logic- How can I "BE THE SOURCE" when I don't have enough of it myself?

The idea is that when you find someone with even less than you, when you GIVE IT TO THEM, you will realize that you actually DO have some, and you will experience the FEELINGS of having it, and by doing that, you will attract more and more of that.

It's interesting.

It's true. I've felt it, I do it on purpose sometimes.

Actors are trying to do it for a living.

I say "trying" because most of us aren't working anywhere near the amount or at the level we'd like, and the vast majority who enter the business quit.

You know that actor who is so wonderful to be with; so full of life, and jokes and smiles for you? He'll give you a hug when you need it, and smile for your soul, and a joke to entertain you during that party?

She might hate herself.

She might be covering up, or hiding, or just trying to feel worthy for a minute by making you laugh.

He tells you a funny story about himself to make you feel like you're not so bad.

For example, right now I'm talking about "actors" as if I'm talking about someone other than myself!

Yeah- I'm a great fun to be with, but sometimes.... I just don't believe it.
I feel like I'm lying about something, hiding, and feeling shameful about.... life.

What I've learned is that it's often just a matter of the things we are saying to ourselves, or the beliefs we have that stem from some long-ago childhood incident.

They call it a "Negative Childhood Imprint", and I recently took a quiz to find out more about myself.

You can take it here: TAKE THE CHILDHOOD IMPRINT QUIZ

I was surprised by my answers along the way because I felt like I was betraying some secret out to the internet, but then I realized how ridiculous that was.

I found myself not feeling "worthy" of a bunch of very simple things that I would easily tell someone else they were worthy of.

I mean simple things like... self-improvement, or TIME to myself.

Like I didn't "Earn it" as a reward yet.

Sounds crazy, right?

Well, that was just taking the quiz!

But after, I got some videos about learning visualization, and emotional anchoring, and projecting your desires etc- standard new-agey stuff, but I found that I didn't feel WORTHY of the effort to do it!!!

Fortunately, I changed my mind, and decided to go for it.

If you know what I mean, or know an actor (or any other perso) like that, maybe you want to share my story, and tell them to take the quiz too.

Oh- and remember- if you saw yourself from the outside, you;d probably think you were pretty damn cool.

Intolerant Liberals- By Tucker Fitzgerald

I recently read an article on Medium that I thought was so good, I had to make a video of it so more people would read it/hear it. 

Sometimes I just run with an idea.

Even though it is sometimes futile, I think a true open-minded conservative will understand this video, and the distinctions the writer is making between the grievances of both sides:

The article itself is here: INTOLERANT LIBERALS

I get into it with a lot of people on facebook, since I am friends with a lot of "Home business" people, who are a lot of middle America.

They often just repeat the memes that they hear without thinking about them, and the conservative mems are far better than the liberal ones because they are less smart. They travel better. 

While liberals are busy being clever, the conservatives go for the "gut reaction", and even when they make no sense, hit the spot they are intended to.

This article is also brainy, but by making the video, I hope that more people will see/read how good it is.

Thank you Tucker Fitzgerald!

I'm An Intolerant New York Liberal With A Closed Mind

Yeah, I'm an intolerant New York liberal who has lived with different people from all over the world my entire life. That's the problem with us intolerant liberals who can't stand it when people don't think like us. We spend just about all of our time with people from all over the world who have different: customs, beliefs, religions, genders, sexual orientation, gender identities, classes, economics, education, upbringing and ideas  on how to create a mutually respectful and beneficial society. That's the problem with us intolerant liberals: we are trying to create a mutually respectful and beneficial society. We just aren't understanding enough of people who want to dominate and force the world to comply with their teeny, tiny, self-centered, self-involved desires to be in charge, and force their will on other people. If we intolerant liberals would just STOP trying to create a mutually respectful and beneficial society, and be more open to people who think only about their own personal predicaments, and their own selfish desire for gain, then we might actually see that their way is the one right way! So I guess you're right; Until I can open my intolerant liberal mind to the people who DO NOT want a mutually respectful and beneficial society... I'm an intolerant liberal with a closed mind. -Bones

New York Actor Tries To GIVE AWAY MONEY, What Happens Next Might Break Your Heart...

There's a video on Youtube that seems like just another one of those "Subway Prank" videos.

And at first, that's what it was.

Bones Rodriguez is a high-energy, all-smiles fast-talking New Yorker who talks a lot with his hands, but as we talked, I watched him get serious.

He made this original subway prank video back in 2007 (before improv-everywhere made it a staple), pretending to be a rich guy, and begging people to TAKE his money:

"I was making money from this website http://www.JobsStink.com, and I wanted to promote it. As a born-and-bred New Yorker, the panhandlers kinda all have the same pitch [to us]. I thought it would be funny to beg people the same way, but actually GIVE AWAY money instead."

Pretty clever, but  when you watch it (terrible quality- remember, this is 2007), there's something strange.

At 31 seconds in, there's a weird cut.

9 years later- people noticed.

While he was making a joke of giving away money, and the cynical straphangers were were actually refusing to take it...

He came upon a homeless couple.

"I was suddenly filled with this incredible guilt. I was throwing around some spare change for a joke, and here these people were actually counting coins together."

Bones says that he didn't want to embarrass them, so he just poured what he had into their hands, and then let it spill on the seat next to them.

"It looked like they were figuring out how much they had together... like trying to see how much they could eat with... I knew I had to keep the jar, but... seems stupid now. I probably should have just given them the jar."

Bones asked his friend (who was shooting on a hand-held DV tape camera!) to stop shooting, and they went and got some more change and started over.

After a little editing and dubbing magic, they released the video but absolutely no one took notice of the prank. 

Despite his not-too-shabby singing voice.

He laughs again: "Like every once every 6 months someone would comment on it, usually about the bad quality. It was too early; people weren't really doing videos like that yet."

The video is actually pretty funny because the cynical New Yorkers keep refusing to take the money- it seems like that was the whole joke of the video.

But then years later, College Humor posted a very similar video, and people started to notice the similarities.

"At first it pissed me off!" said Bones Rodriguez again, very animated, "I was like 'What the hell man, we did this already!' But then I remembered that I actually got to help some people that day, and I felt guilty for being petty."

Bones Rodriguez continues to perform in New York, and you have seen him in dozens of commercials.

He still makes money from http://www.JobsStink.com, and like everyone else, he says he tries to give to beggars on the train, but sometimes he's pretty sure they're lying. 

"That couple was definitely not one of those."

Transcript Of The Black History Speech From Your POTUS 2017

Before you read this, I want you to know that upon my first reading, I was disappointed, and a little incredulous. Then I read it again, out loud to my wife, and when I was done, I started to cry from hopelessness.

Just like his speech to African Americans on the campaign, although it occasionally refers to Black History, it is entirely about him.

Please read this with more hope for the future than I have.

Speech On Black History Month From Your POTUS 2017

"Well this is Black History Month, so this is our little breakfast, our little get-together. 

Hi Lynn, how are you? Just a few notes. 

During this month, we honor the tremendous history of African-Americans throughout our country. Throughout the world, if you really think about it, right? And their story is one of unimaginable sacrifice, hard work, and faith in America. 

I’ve gotten a real glimpse—during the campaign, I’d go around with Ben to a lot of different places I wasn’t so familiar with. They’re incredible people. And I want to thank Ben Carson, who’s gonna be heading up HUD. That’s a big job. That’s a job that’s not only housing, but it’s mind and spirit. Right, Ben? And you understand, nobody’s gonna be better than Ben.

Last month, we celebrated the life of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., whose incredible example is unique in American history. You read all about Dr. Martin Luther King a week ago when somebody said I took the statue out of my office. It turned out that that was fake news. Fake news. 

The statue is cherished, it’s one of the favorite things in the—and we have some good ones. We have Lincoln, and we have Jefferson, and we have Dr. Martin Luther King. But they said the statue, the bust of Martin Luther King, was taken out of the office. And it was never even touched. So I think it was a disgrace, but that’s the way the press is.

Very unfortunate.

I am very proud now that we have a museum on the National Mall where people can learn about Reverend King, so many other things. Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I noticed. Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, and millions more black Americans who made America what it is today. 

Big impact.

I’m proud to honor this heritage and will be honoring it more and more. The folks at the table in almost all cases have been great friends and supporters. Darrell—I met Darrell when he was defending me on television. And the people that were on the other side of the argument didn’t have a chance, right? 

And Paris has done an amazing job in a very hostile CNN community. He’s all by himself. You’ll have seven people, and Paris. And I’ll take Paris over the seven. But I don’t watch CNN, so I don’t get to see you as much as I used to. I don’t like watching fake news. But Fox has treated me very nice. 

Wherever Fox is, thank you.

We’re gonna need better schools and we need them soon. We need more jobs, we need better wages, a lot better wages. We’re gonna work very hard on the inner city. Ben is gonna be doing that, big league. 
That’s one of the big things that you’re gonna be looking at. 

We need safer communities and we’re going to do that with law enforcement.

We’re gonna make it safe.

We’re gonna make it much better than it is right now.

Right now it’s terrible, and I saw you talking about it the other night, Paris, on something else that was really—you did a fantastic job the other night on a very unrelated show.

I’m ready to do my part, and I will say this:

We’re gonna work together. This is a great group, this is a group that’s been so special to me. You really helped me a lot.

If you remember I wasn’t going to do well with the African-American community, and after they heard me speaking and talking about the inner city and lots of other things, we ended up getting—and I won’t go into details—but we ended up getting substantially more than other candidates who had run in the past years. 

And now we’re gonna take that to new levels.

I want to thank my television star over here—Omarosa’s actually a very nice person, nobody knows that. I don’t want to destroy her reputation but she’s a very good person, and she’s been helpful right from the beginning of the campaign, and I appreciate it. I really do. 

Very special."

END

My wife shook her head and then summarized it like this:

"Well, I gotta talk about the blacks, so... Here are some blacks who like me, also blacks have been in history. Now I'm gonna talk about inner cities, and crime, those are black people things, right? And oh- these other blacks like me too."

That's when I cried.

I cried because I was grateful that the mother of my mixed son understood. I know that she doesn't always, and that she doesn't even have to, but we've been married for ten years now, and at that moment I was sad for the world, but grateful for her..

So maybe all isn't lost.

***UPDATE***

Mike Pence also released a VERY purposeful tweet on Black History Month.

It is NOT about Black History Month- it is a not subtle message of White Supremacy, to the new Radical White:

Did you see what's happening yet?

"Blacks aren't worth of respect, everything is from us" is what this message is.

When it happened in Germany, we said "NEVER AGAIN", but now it's HERE, in the U.S.

NOW is Again.
