It's been a while...

 Just been getting my head straight about a lot of things that I have going on in my life right now. For instance, I'll be married in a few months. Something that I never thought would have happened to me. It helps to have someone have your back, but it also helps that they allow you to be yourself without limiting yourself.

I was just writing earlier this morning, lamenting the factor of not being able to do nude art modeling as I have done in the last 17 years...but...again, life changes and you have to adapt accordingly to those changes. These days, I'm working on my craft as an actor again, but it has been a difficult road to walk, now that I am in my mid 50's. Next week I'll be 54 years old...I'm still craving the things I used to do, but I also know that life changes as we get older. I've noticed that with my own father who is battling dementia and other health related issues. 

All I can say is that I am looking forward to where God moves me to next in this journey called life.

It's been a while...

 Having a quiet moment to post is a good thing. I'm just glad the week is almost done. I just realized today it has been 8 years since I did a photo shoot with Rafael G., who used to be a photographer in the fashion industry. He now is a photographer living out and about Los Angeles, CA these days.

Going to post a few pictures and then back to the grind of the day.

Contemplative about the Future...

 Just contemplative about a lot of things at this stage of my life. I'm going to continue to post pictures and such until I cannot do it anymore. I don't have much of an outlet as I once did, but, as I've learned...

Nothing lasts forever...

My next step...

 Things are happening so fast on my end these days. I never would I have experienced being promoted twice in one year, and never did I think that I would be around for multiple strikes around the city. SAG-AFTRA, WGA, the City of Los Angeles, and the hotel workers around the city.

This week has been a rough one for the simple factor of working too much. Too much time with the 
"Billionaires Boy's Club" earlier this week wiped me out. I'm ready for a vacation, and I'll be doing so soon.

I'm still craving doing nude modeling...but now isn't the time for it to happen. I want to complete two projects before I turn 55 in less than two years from now...I'm working out, but I know that my body will only be able to compete with the younger generation for so long...before I have to hang it up for good.

Very contemplative at this point of my life.

Keeping things in perspective...

 These last few weeks have been a challenge and then some. After losing one of my close friends at the office, and lost another relative later on during the week...It makes you think about the future a little more than just trying to get money and acquire things on a daily basis. In fact, this time frame of my life has taught me to scale back in terms of gains from a material standpoint. 

In two weeks, I'll be 53 years old, and after having to deal with so many "adulting" issues, I would like to take a break, but I know that is unrealistic. I have to work on building the future between my girlfriend and I, and go forward from there.
