The value of life is lost on humanity

I've created a way for mankind to enjoy life with their ability to think. I've found, watching them, this doesn't happen very often. You are given a gift of twenty-four hours for each day. IF, that day comes to a full conclusion. Other than a few select people, the rest of this world is in a dark reality of what is to come with their life. You will die, it is coming. You can control nothing but what you wish to attempt. The outcome is already in consumed in tight hands of immortals. Our sight above you is limited to nothing, we know all, for we created it's history far before you were able to be conscience of who we even are.

Why am I so grim? Why would I say such things when it is I who is trying to redeem my past. War was all my eyes saw, death is all I claimed in my path. I knew the taste of your blood as I destroyed your love, your life, your passion, your fight. I took away everything you had just to sit here inside a mortal's temple and tell you how worthless your choices have been, can be. It is because of my past I say these things. You need to hear them. It needs to change. I am learning to live without regret of your choices, and live within mine. My destiny is watching, hearing, touching life continue to change. When your mortality is gone a new form of life shall blossom in its place.

I am pleading with you to listen. To hear what it is you may not have been aware of all these years. That those before you, and those born from you, are learning life backwards. Become more than just another herd member. Become a leader in your life. In twenty-four hours you get one chance. If that chance leads till tomorrow you have become one of the lucky few. If you live your life completely with chance, with self purpose you are taking a gift granted to you by the children of Torin, you are truly living. There is only one rule to performing any action that you find desirable; Hurting others is a deed we will never look away from. Bear that in mind when acting out.

What is it you want from this life? There are others who wish to hold you back, you ignore them. There are others who wish to see you fall, ignore them. There are others who want to see your life become the center of mediocrity, ignore them! This person is YOU, if you allow yourself to be controlled by fear. Fear of chance, fear of what others may think of you, fear of your popularity. Become living art, change and design your dreams into reality from what lays inside your soul. Be those things you have always thought possible. You only get to be aware of one life, though dreams memories may flow in from past lives from time to time, this is your life... Your Life! ~ Lord Telmorn Altayon

When I sleep, I know where my fingers go

When I sleep, I know where my fingers go;

Are you awake for this? I know I am. It's been a long while, since December I have written on here because I HAVE BEEN BUSY! In a good way, and I say that knowing you TOO have been busy. Maybe not as busy as I am, but up there. I just finished another play, I am staring in Hamlet, as Hamlet. I will most likely be in Twelfth Night this summer with Area Players again... What else, oh that's right, in April I will be performing with my band Altayon at the Macabre Faire doing a 30 minute set. That will be fun, plus I have some comedy happening in July.

What does this even all mean? It means I have been busy making my dreams come true. I get paid for all these things, plus I own my own production company called BBR Productions Inc. Which is an awesome place to work, and our clients are perfect examples of why I do this for a living. I am sure it may have crossed your mind “What about his personal life, it must be suffering”. Not at all. My personal life, as much as it is my personal life, is MY LIFE. I live everyday in this world and I love it. I hangout with my friends, because I have the time to make, since I am in control, and I make time for my life to indulge the things I thought never possible.

These are, after-all the “Traveling adventures of a resilient entertainer”. So, why am I bragging? Let's put it to light shell we. I am not bragging. I am pointing out that anyone can do this. If you follow the 3 needs of success. What are they? Have you been following the BBR Productions Inc. “Today's Tip” blog? Well, here, let me help you... first of all... click here for the blog ------> “Bringing Reality To Your Dreams”. Second... Here they are, the 3 needs of success; Networking, Marketing and Practice. Now go read the other blog and see how wonderfully those things help you. They've helped me become who I am.

It took me 15 years to learn the system through reading, watching, and being a part of the system. Who has made a success of themselves, who became the next 15 minutes of fame, and so on. I have taken my life to understand success, both in life and in entertainment. I started investing into Assets, and as my portfolio is small as of now, it still grows everyday. I am incorporated and thus protected and on my way to make things happen. Since last year I have contributed my life's actions to a ten year goal. That goal is already 3 years ahead of schedule. Again, how do I do it? Other than the 3 needs of success you ask? HATING ON PEOPLE SOLVES NOTHING. Looking at others who are doing great things is one thing. Telling them they suck either under your breath or through a computer helps very little. Study why they are where they are. If they can do it, and you feel they don't deserve it, then why should it be any harder for you to get there?

RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH!!! It solves everything!

Casting 'HAMLET'

'HAMLET'

BBR Productions Inc. is casting HAMLET, a revisionist take on the Shakespeare play. Rehearsals start April 1st. Performances run May Friday the 4 and Saturday the 5. Then Friday the 18 and Saturday the 19 out in Riverhead NY Long Island.

Seeking-- Males: 18+, any ethnicity, to play various characters. Claudius - The King of Denmark, Hamlet's uncle, and the play's antagonist. Polonius - The Lord Chamberlain of Claudius's court, a pompous, conniving old man. Polonius is the father of Laertes and Ophelia. Horatio - Hamlet's close friend, who studied with the prince at the university in Wittenberg. Horatio is loyal and helpful to Hamlet throughout the play. Laertes - Polonius's son and Ophelia's brother, a young man who spends much of the play in France. Passionate and quick to action, Laertes is clearly a foil for the reflective Hamlet. Fortinbras - The young Prince of Norway, whose father the king (also named Fortinbras) was killed by Hamlet's father (also named Hamlet). Rosencrantz and Guildenstern - Two slightly bumbling courtiers, former friends of Hamlet from Wittenberg, who are summoned by Claudius and Gertrude to discover the cause of Hamlet's strange behavior. Osric - The foolish courtier who summons Hamlet to his duel with Laertes. Voltimand and Cornelius - Courtiers whom Claudius sends to Norway to persuade the king to prevent Fortinbras from attacking. Marcellus and Bernardo - The officers who first see the ghost walking the ramparts of Elsinore and who summon Horatio to witness it. Marcellus is present when Hamlet first encounters the ghost. Francisco - A soldier and guardsman at Elsinore. Reynaldo - Polonius's servant, who is sent to France by Polonius to check up on and spy on Laertes.

Auditions will be held by appt. only Jan. 22 and Feb. 12, 1 p.m. till 6p.m. at our office in Miller Place Long Island NY. To schedule an audition appt., send pix & résumés by Jan. 15 email us. Prepare to cold read. Pay. None Union.

Behind the wall of truth;

Are you really safe behind the lies of walls? I have learned one thing in this business; “you never know who someone is or knows”. This statement has saved my career over and over. I am nice to everyone until it is time not to be nice. (yes, that is a “Roadhouse” quote). I am only human, but I keep my bad mouthing down to a minimum. Though, I know that there are people out in this world talking completely ill of me to others. Their goal is to stop people from talking with me? I have no idea. Maybe they are just happy to help take possibility away from me because I destroyed them in some way?

Oh wait, we are talking about people I've never done wrong to. People I can only assume have never hung out with me. I assume because maybe during my time of not seeing them around in my circles they could have been A) Hiding from my sight, B) video taping me and C) washing my backside in the shower without me knowing. Either way, their motivation is slightly convoluted. I am at a loss of words. To attacking someone in the midst of shadows cast down by tall walls shows a lot of character.

How does one handle this? If you are having a similar situation do not fret. Take note of who it is, what people are saying and just continue being true to yourself. You never chase an audience, you let that audience come to you. So if you are being kind, respectful and know you have done nothing terrible wrong, continue being you. Remember faces and names while you place them into your own personal black-book. I am sure you are in theirs, but the idea is that you are a better person. Be cordial around them but don't be rudely nice to them. Let them be people behind the wall. Stand your ground in front of the wall for all to see.

Why are they afraid to speak to you about their ill-slated words is a mystery to me, or them. Of course, if you think about it... why won't they say to people around you? If it is true, what's the hold up? Break the wall down or keep it held strong? I say let that wall keep building itself up, while you stand on top of it and shout out the truth through actions and integrity.

Thick Skinned;

Thick Skinned and plants. We will get to that. I am an entertainer working hard to make things happen. I pretty much do this for a living. I don't have a day job, I own my own company while doing what I can to help out people trying to get started in this business known as entertainment. Of course, reading my blogs you know I do many things.

Comedy is where I am taking you today. I am very against doing open mic nights. Though, when starting out, jump on it just to get use to being on stage in front of three or four people. I am being generous with that number. I have two mics that I go to at this point, only because I like to support what they are doing for up and coming comedians.

First one is Fin's Pub in over in Oakdale NY every Monday night. And the other is one ran by my good buddy Leigh West. He does his show at Felt Billiards in Commack NY. I don't get paid for this, it is just me being around my friends in the business. I like that, I like what they are doing for beginners and people trying to work out materials.

Why do I dislike open mics? Well, there is little support from other comedians, you can't really get a good read on jokes and everyone is judging you based on their material. I like to build my set up with laughable material and I can only know that by hearing laughs. If you can get a comedian to laugh, it means your joke most likely is bad. Just sayin'

Here we go, Thick Skinned. In this business there are people we call “Plants”. A plant is someone you know that sits in the audience. You either put them there or they are a fellow comedian you have known. I called out a comic's name and they got so mad they started to heckle me on stage. Long story short. I respected this guy in the business.

Why? Good question. Because about 3 years early he taught me something. Humility. He was on stage and took a few cracks at me about the sound system. I got mad, though I waited till he got off stage and ask him not to do that. He said... “We are comedians, it is all jokes. Don't take anything personal.” I respected that enough to believe it.

That is not how it ended up happening on this night. In closing, I like to have fun out there. And it is COMEDY. Good or Bad, it is just about having fun. As a comic, you try not to heckle another comedian when they are on stage. Even if you don't think they are considered a comic, funny, or talented. It is their time on stage.

Just have fun out there. WE ARE ENTERTAINERS DOING THINGS PEOPLE WISH THEY WERE NOT SHY SO THEY CAN DO IT TOO!!! We owe these people our respect on stage. Because we are giving an opportunity to be up there for all the people who can't find their way to the stage. Embrace it, respect it, and most of all... HAVE fun!!!

I gave up on I and became me!

The best time of the year is coming up for all those looking to find meaning in life again. You give your little list of things you want to those around you, hoping they can buy you want you want. You look around at stores you might have to return things to. Oh how I love the holiday year ending. It is filled with meaning all over the place.

I've been entertaining for years and all I want is my two front teeth back for being the biggest smart ass on the block. Okay, so I've gotten my nose broken twice, cleaned the floor of my blood with some guys face, humiliated about three other punks by putting them into unbreakable holds and for what? To show that fighting is stupid!

It comes down to how powerful words can be in any situation. Though, I don't believe words have power. Will, “WILL” has power. How willful are you to stand down from emotions and take on a few pounds of words? The more “WILLFULL” you are the less chance some jack-turd with a six shooter filled with grand-ole verbiage will be able to take you down.

Where was I going with this? Oh that's right. I have given up on I and became me. My whole life is mine, not yours, or hers or even his. I've been there from the beginning till now. Now one else has had as much time being around me as I have. It's beautifully annoying how much I have to stand me. But I like me, so it is not that bad.

But image having to deal with me all day. There are people out there that don't like me, or can just reach a limit of toleration of me before going insane. It's not about them. It is about me and my life. Just as it is about them and their life. Live people, make moves of your life to live it truthfully.

Just don't hurt people, and it doesn't matter what they do outside of physically damaging you. But this does bring an interesting “To ask yourself” question. Why do we look at life so dirty? We see perverted filth in things? I've been studying the human race for a life time to realize everyone is a pig. But in a beautiful way. The non-beautiful way is how they hide it.

EMBRACE IT!!! Be truthful to yourself. Don't judge others and certainly don't judge yourself. Women and men are out there who love their bodies, despite how they act around others. They love being sexual, they love watching sexuality swimming in sensuality. Love, life, sex, nudity, art, colors, touching, breathing, seeing, etc. Life is around us, EMBRACE IT!!!

That is my “just under 500 word” rant... Peace in harmony!!!

How awesome is awesomely bad?

We get it, you are great at what you do. Though, have you ever really compared yourself to the list of success in this town? Look at where you are and who you are performing with. If you see people in the same place as you, maybe you're reality check needs to kick in. Don't let your reality not be check so you get kicked out! You may be great, and there may be others great in this town, but remember, there are people who are professionals at the same things you are doing. They make a living at it. Putting everything they have into it and making the right moves. Look at that list next time you start getting a big head. It is about perspective reasoning.

Reason being... Everyone is in this together. No one is better than others so don't take advantage of a nice person. Okay, some people may have more talent than others, but that still doesn't explain why you are all performing at an open mic, or fighting to get the same job... OR hell, you already both work at the same job in the same building. If you allow yourself to be pushed in the corner you will be forgotten. Live in the spotlight but don't be a douche in the bag. The tradeoff to being nice, and realistically aware of your position in your field is how others will enjoy you being around.

Don't allow your attitude to turn into a jaded outlook. Embrace those around you working hard at what they do. The truth of the matter is this... (Let's us comedy... but it is the same in every field) You may be funny in your local town, but there is definitely a person slightly better than you. So you could be considered, in the range of things, a beginner, them a feature, and believe it or not someone else could be considered a headliner... IN YOUR LOCAL AREA... but if a Louis C.K. walked into an open mic night to just “workout” things... You'd see why you are all still missing something.

No matter how “GREAT” you are, there is always someone much better than you at your stage of the game. You can always get much better, so practice... Network by being a nice person and respecting people caring about what they want to do... and Market yourself with what you can in the groups you can be in. If you are a douche in the bag you won't grab anyone's attention to network. You won't be able to market because no one cares about what you have going on... and your practicing will all be for naught because of your bag of douches being filled!
