This is hard... Actually, this is the hardest thing that I've personally EVER had to do. Had to borrow $5.00 today to get on the metro bus to make it to an audition in Santa Monica. Then, as I am switching to my 3rd bus they tell me that the "TAP Card" that I purchased for the day doesn't work on this bus. WHAT!?
Apparently this bus system isn't part of Hollywoods metro system. At this point I'm already late for my audition, I'm miles away and need to get there ASAP. So I explain to the driver where I am going and why. I tell him that I was unaware of the policy with the cards. He ask me how much I do have... I tell him nothing. Which is the truth. So he let's me ride for free.
That was very nice of him to do. So now I'm sitting in the bus writing this. Now what? Well... I go to my audition. Then I leave. Simple right? Yeah that part is. Getting home on the other hand is not. I seriously don't have even $1 for the bus back home. Damn, this land of Hollywood sure does know how to eat you up and spit you out! So my plan. Tell the bus drive on the way back the same thing. "I didn't know that these bus lines were different". Let's see what happens.
At the end of the day, the only thing on my mind is focusing on why I am here! Gotta stay motivated! And I am. I'm going into that audition and bring that extra bit of positive energy that I know I can bring to the team.
I will always remember what a friend (very successful friend) said to me. "Kevin, it's those who stick out the tough times that make it".
That's what I intend on doing... Looking forward to what the universes has good waiting for me!
