Hi @galenkp! This is an interesting topic, as always. Is it okay if I talk about more than one job I am passionate about?
First, if I had the opportunity I would want to be an actress! I am passionate about acting. I love it. All through school and in church, I was active in drama clubs and programs. But my parents wouldn't let me study it in school, hahaha. Something about 'good girls' don't go into such careers.
Still, when I watch more movies, I fancy myself acting certain parts and likely doing it better than the professionals. Imagine that! 😆
Another career I am passionate about and wished I had engaged in when I was younger is tailoring/fashion designer. When I was a teenager, I was allowed to spend time at a family friend's tailoring shop to train. After some weeks, she moved and I couldn't go further. I was told to focus on my studies.
I see designer suits and wish I had finished my training or gotten more encouragement to go further so I could sew those suits. Don't know if I could still train for it now...my head is filled with so many things! 😄
Smile.. True.. Good girls don't do acting. That's what they say here.
My mum used to be a fashion designer but now she sews for only herself and sometimes for the family.
Acting sounds fun! I think it's worth persuing if you really like it. What would you like to act in? Are we talking Broadway musical types, series or movies?
I think series! That's because I get to act the same part again and again and I think they earn more than movies. ☺️
Oké follow up question! What kind of series are we talking? Action? Drama? Emotional stuff?
Oh yeah, an actor seems like a good dream job...Who doesn't like to be someone else for a time?!
I wasn't the most active in drama class although I had a crush on one of my drama teachers, grade nine...She talked me into getting involved with the school play done annually...Of course I was doing it so I could fixate on her for longer...I was magnificent though, in the play I mean...I was a cactus and I'll tell you what, a better cactus-actor there has never been! 😂
I hope you manage to pursue your acting and make your dream job happen!
Thanks for having a crack this week, I appreciate that you come by and thrown down each week. Nice work!
!ENGAGE 15
A crush on your drama teacher? 😂 Now why am I not surprised? Of course, you would be a better cactus-actor! 😄
Hm, don't know if I can still pursue it as a career but will keep acting in small ways like in church or for any project.
Always a pleasure to be here. Wish you a happy weekend ahead sir. 🍀
She was pretty sexy...Ten years older than me but I wouldn't have let that get in the way. Alas, it wasn't to be. 😆
I'm telling you, I was the best cactus-actor there ever was. I stood there. And stood there. And stood there...Like a cactus. I was so cactusy that even a cactus wold have mistaken me for a cactus. I'm talking cactusy!
Have a good weekend...I'll be doing my utmost to ensure I do also.
Omg! 😂🤣🤣🤣 I'm laughing so hard and colleagues at work are wondering if I am okay! I can't imagine being cactusy! 😂
Being cactusy isn't something that just happens overnight; It takes great skill, patience and dedication. It's not for the faint-hearted...I think that's why my drama teacher asked me to do it...She knew that inside the odd little brownish boy called G-dog was the heart of a cactus...And she was right.
I have had people ask me about being cactusy, wanting to emulate my cactusicity, but they have all failed...One is either cactusy or one is not cactusy...There is no middle ground. The art of cactusology is not one easily learned.
So. Does part of being a cactus involve being a prick? You know, the act of pricking with your spines. :)
Just wonderin'.
Oh yeah, it's essential, and I've been told that's why I was so good at the role. I guess Miss Curtis knew prickly brilliance when she saw it.
P.s. About ten years later I ran into her...She still looked fine as hell, I was 25 and she was 35...I was with Faith though and so we chatted, she told me she knew I had a crush on her and we went our separate ways. I never saw her again.
The reviews said they'd never seen a spikier performance... Galen is both believable, succulent and dangerous!
The thought that we do not have video evidence of this causes a palpable disappointment in me that I may never overcome!
Who knew a hot teacher could inspire such dedication to a character?😁
The critics said things like:
...performance was on point.
...acts at the sharp end of the scale.
...prickly demeanor, but sensational actor.
One said...
...what a prick!
He was probably correct.
Miss Curtis...I wouldn't have minded some method acting with her. 😁
Oh Jeez! I see the pun war is on.
At least no-one could ever accuse an upstanding guy like you of having no spine. If we did, you'd have cactus to the kerb as you always cactus what you preach.
Oh please, no... Make it stop. I am deeply sorry!
Always staying back at school late, aiming for the extra credit hehe.😉
Cactus what you preach! 🤣
ENGAGEtokens.You could totally pursue acting doing YouTube channels or posting videos on something, perhaps you could do a video channel where you talk about new crazy fashion trends in the style of a fashion guru?
Great idea @jacuzzi! I never thought of that before, means I'd have to put a team together and act something. But I'm working on my vlogging skills after taking a course on it. Working on some ideas. 🙂
When's the last time you put something together with a needle and thread @kemmyb?
Hi @dandays. That's would be some few days ago when I noticed a button fell off my dress. Usually I'm good at stitching up tears, buttons, fixing zippers and little sewing on clothing. That's about it. It's from the little I learned then before my family friend moved.
Aaaw I can imagine that passion burning inside you every time you are in front of a good series or enjoying a good movie. Although if you're good, it's never too late to exploit your talents.
You are right! It's never too late though I believe one should start young, to explore one's talents and passion. Now I'm so busy with life I doubt I'd give it a try. But... Never say never eh? 😄
Oh well in that sense yes, time is no longer the same as it was when I was young and the energy also changes. But one never knows what destiny, or God (as I say) has in store for us.
Being an actress is really interesting passion :) Something about 'good girls' don't go into such careers I get what you mean..!! 😀 Still not too late to be a tailoring designer if you nurture and want to train with it, right? ☺️
Yeah, acting would be cool, wouldn't it? I'll bet you'd do well at it!
My first ex was an artist and worked quite a little in fabric. She also designed and made clothing. It was impressive to say the least. I think that is something you could do a little at a time. Pick up a piece here and another there...
I hope there is somewhere local you could try your hand at acting, even as a hobby (I used to do this too). I think that bringing joy and entertainment through others through performance is an amazing thing to do.
Is it possible to fill the gaps in design through online videos and blogs? If you have a passion for it, go find a way, you deserve to let yourself try. Having a head filled with many things is much better than an empty head, right? 😎
Invest in yourself and keep dreaming. Best of luck 👍
