i love receiving fan mail. it doesn't come that often (hint), though is much appreciated when it does. allow me to share a recent piece right off the top.
how's HK? been reading your blog a bit, wish I did more, but i'm not going to lie, i don't.hey that's fair, i'm not putting a literary gun to anyone's head. a reader is a reader, and i love you all, no matter how frequent you hit the Freedom button.
(thanks for the shout-out, AS)
so, it's 4ish on Tuesday and i'm waiting for the phone to ring.
1. check the ringer volume
2. ensure it's not on vibrate
ok.
still nothing.
the reason for my phoneiness?
i went to another casting yesterday and assumed i was a shoe-in for the gig.
the client - Hong Kong Airport Authority.
what does that exactly mean? i believe they handle security matters for travellers.
the job - a print ad.
the ask - they are looking for an average business man who can wheel a bag through the airport.
uh, hello? i am only just slightly perfect for this. you may remember me from such epic bag castings as Samsonite....
and of course, i just reek of a bizness man.
they took the requisite shots of the front, back, pulling a case, pulling a cast + shaking an imaginary hand. oh, and they wanted BIG smiles, my favourite.
it's now getting closer to 4:30, and still no call.
funny, figured this was mine to lose, especially given they needed someone to start tomorrow. maybe i should have further stressed the openness of my calendar.
still, no matter what happens, i won't get discouraged.
no, i won't stop, 'cause i can't stop. hell, i'm going to break-out Aline's suitcase and practice walking & air-handshaking everyday til i nail it.
i was also hoping that i could announce the ghost/guest writer today, but i haven't made it through all the applications yet.
to confirm, the content does not need to have anything to do with HK or Freedom.
just think of it as a forum to speak your mind, your digital soap box to an audience of no less than 40 people. how bout that for reach....?
sports, politics, pop culture, fave Rich memory.
the possibilities are endless.
don't make me go all teacher on y'all and make me pick one of you...please.
MC from the A or Lil' Roberto, i'm calling you out....make me proud!
