Thoughts worth pondering...

So, I have been mulling over a few things the past couple of days. I can happily say that they are all very good ideas that have been crashing through the banks of my brain. I would like to share a few of them with you all tonight. Also, I thought this would be a nice way to take a break from making you have to see my face. :)

Thought 1:

How can one correlate job interviews to preparing for auditions? The answer is simple. They both function is similar ways. On an audition, your very appearance can make or break a director's idea of your fit for the role. With a job interview your appearance does play a role; did you come dressed appropriately for the job you are applying to?

Not to mention how you sell yourself. When preforming a monologue, especially something that is well known, I always try to make it my own.  It is kind of the same way when you "sell" yourself for the job you are applying for. You could come in there just like ever other Tom, Dick and Harry, or you COULD bring the dynamics that is your very character.

Regardless how you look at it, both put you in a situation where even though you may have prepared there is going to be that one question that forces you to look deep within yourself. That is the MOMENT you truly get to shine. That is the moment when who you are gets to come across! SO TURN ON THAT CHARM, pull out the SMILES and just relax. They are either going to like you or not, and the only thing you can be in control of is whether you presented who you are or what you thought they want you to be.


Thought 2:

"Where have all the cowboys gone"? Paula Cole, you sly dog! This song gets stuck in my head at least once a week and it can on set from any of the afore mentioned words that are lyrics. I have to be truthful though...I REALLY love this song. Maybe I am over thinking it but really, WHERE HAVE ALL THE COWBOYS GONE? I don't mean that literally, but more in the way of that the image of cowboy. The rough and tumble guy. The one that would kick a guy's A for looking at him wrong, that would rise to a lady's defense and help up hold the moral fiber of life? Okay, I guess I really do over think when it comes to that song.
Take a listen and decide for yourself:

Okay, well, that is all I have for you tonight. Oh wait, do you want to know what I ate today...I bet you already guessed it....SALAD!!! I had a salad for lunch and then my friends invited me to stay for dinner tonight and I had a salad there.

NIGHT ALL,
Rebecca
