  I apologize for my lack of posts.  Here is a brief breakdown of what has been going on with me:

   

  I have my health insurance all sorted out and a doctors appointment to have my thumb looked at tomorrow afternoon.

   

  On Monday night I received my first belt tip.  I am under the impression that there are a total of four tips per belt; once I reach four I should be prepared to soon take the yellow belt exam.

   

  I still have only one recommendation in for Law School.  Without the second recommendation, I cannot apply to the vast majority of schools on my list.  At the moment I am working on my personal statement for Hofstra University and will hopefully have that application completed tonight or tomorrow morning.  The only other school that I am able to apply to with one recommendation is New York Law School.

   

  Once I have the whole law school application process sorted out and back on track I will go to a local talent management agency (on Staten Island) and see what they are about.  If that does not work out I will begin sending out my resume and headshot to agents and casting directors.  I am also considering taking improve comedy classes in January.

   

  My friend situation has basically flat lined.  I suppose I am not very interesting to some people…or I suppose not worth the effort.  Here is an e-mail I received from a “friend” who I haven’t spoken to since early September in response to a happy thanksgiving e-mail I sent her:

   

  “Hi!!!!!!!  Happy Thanksgiving to you too!!!!!!   I'm sorry I've been so busy
  between all my tests and applications and my job. I've been wanting to call
  you, but I actually want to call you when I have time to talk. I don't wanna
  rush our conversations and time together. I promise I'll call soon so we can
  make plans to hang out again. You're the best!!!”

   

  Sounds nice, but I don’t accept such excuses.  No phone call or e-mail for my birthday.  And I don’t see how one does not have any time.  I just love that…everyone is just so busy.  Ha.  If we were all so very busy doing such important activities, this world would look much different than it does today.  I’m sure in something like three months there hasn’t been a five minute block of free time that could be used to say hi.

   

  Why don’t I call her?  I shouldn’t have to at this point.  We hung out in September.  She said she would call me; then nothing.  I noticed her online one day and messaged her.  I received a similar excuse; then nothing.  My birthday comes and goes…nothing.  I thought something may have happened to her, but didn’t want to be the foolish one to call just to find out everything was nice and dandy.  So, I sent a happy thanks giving, and that’s what I receive.  And still nothing.

   

  It seemed so much easier to have friends in elementary school.  A little less so in Junior High School/Middle School, but still fairly easy, and then High School came along and things became a little difficult.  Who remains…?

   

  From elementary school: 0

  From jr. high school: 0

  From high school: Approaching 0 or perhaps I should just take the hit and make it 0 and move everyone that I speak to once in a blue moon to the “acquaintance category”

  From College: 0 – Unless I get to have 1 since I met my girlfriend while working on my undergraduate degrees.

   

  So what is the wonderful total?  Well, I’m sure anyone reading this shouldn’t have any trouble adding it up.

   

  I would like to think I’m not that difficult to get a long with…but one has to face reality at some point, and the numbers look pretty grim.

   

  Moving on…

   

  Ah, forget it…I’m worn out…end of post.  I’ll do an FYI another time.  As for observations….people frustrate me.
