Paul's Corner

Paul,

What better character could you be asked to play!

Peter

Paul

What does LOLOLAROTF mean?

Elizabeth

True Peter, but it might also be very difficult to "just" play yourself rather than be yourself.

Anyway, Paul, I hope that this puts you fresh into the minds of those who make the casting decisions. Some people need to learn some serious research skills … and understand the concepts of needing to get “facts” right and then substantiate these facts with a decent argument, doesn’t that all go back to Composition 101??? If only some people wouldn't sleep through their classes :-)

I agree with Andrea (previous post) and many other people who posted. Hard times happen, but there are good ones ahead, sort of a cyclical process. Whenever I go through challenging times, it amazes me how much a bit of good news or kindness can raise my troubled spirits. It usually has a much more profound impact on me, as if the universe wants to remind me that not all things are bad--a fundamental belief I hold on to as best I can. And then it's back to drinking tea and waiting out that particular challenge, by that way that is an idiom from my native language, although it sounds better there. Oh well. And then trying to find a way to laugh about what is making life hard, always helps me a lot as well.

Back to drinking tea …
because it is a lovely thing to do in cold, snowy winter. Man it was beautiful out today after 24 hours of snow fall yesterday.

lots of laughing out loud and rolling over the floor

Elizabeth
LOL means Laughing out loud
ROTF = rolling on the floor
I think that's correct. Don't remember what the OLA in the middle stands for ...
Evelyn

LOL Paul :D you made me laugh. I like your sense of humor.

You know I have never had any desire whatsoever to be an actress, ever. I don't know about dancing I think that could be so much fun because you don't have to say anything. But I couldn't/wouldn't want to act. And reading all your posts about acting I realize how hard it must be. I mean I read about actors all the time, stating they have worked all year and yet by the end of it they're always broke. Unless you become a super-duper star and sacrifice all that you know and love (at least it seems to me) it does seem to border on a labor of love doesn't it.

Again thanks so much for your thoughts. And the media, egads, I couldn't stand to see my name in print, it would make me feel so vunerable.

Your new role sounds very interesting Paul, can't wait to see the finished product. Good to see you working on film again even if it is a small role. Just out of curiousity, did you really roll on the floor laughing after writing that post? Because the idea created quite an amusing picture in my head...

Paul it's to bad no one wants to remake the ten comandments, after whatching Joseph for the third time, I think that you would make a great Moses. Everytime I watch Joseph I want more. Keep up the good work.

Paul,

That must've been strange, playing yourself. Here's a good question for you: If you had to pick someone to portray you in a film, who would you pick and why?

Sally C.

Thanks Paul & Evelyn for answering my question. When I first started to write it I thought that I would get laughed off the site because like 'doesn't everyone know what LOLOLAROTF means'. Then I thought what the heck, nobody knows who I am and I didn't know what it meant. I like Sally's question Paul. It will be interesting to see your answer.

Elizabeth

Firstly I wouldnt wish any body to play me in a movie about me as I really couldnt see a movie being made about me. And what if they did a better job at being me!!!! I would be out of a job forever!

Laura it was a small fib to say I was rolling around the floor laughing but I will admit I was very amused by myself and that part of me was figuratively RATF.

Karen thank you for your vote of confidence.

That's a pretty funny thought...someone playing the role of one's self better than you can play yourself...gotta think about that for a sec here...

good to see you laughing at yourself..that's what keeps me going most days!

Paul,
I know you want a starring role. I think you deserve a starring role. All of us here do or we would not be here.
But, you are a star. You are a star in the lives of your wife and children. There laughter and snuggles are the applause of their appreciation for you being in their lives.
You are a star to those who visit this site and read your blog. Gives us a chance to know a "famous" person and get to know them on a human level.
And I just know that a big career break is just ahead for you. You've have qualities in you that is missing in many of tinsel town actors... kindness, a gentle heart, and respect.
I have added you to my prayer list, if that is ok.

Okay, I think I have an addiction. It's called Blog/Forum Commenting or BFC for short. I don't visit a lot of forums for this very reason, but now I have found this blog and I'm right back at it. Oh well, I think I'll stick around here awhile if it's okay.

Mark.
