About chaos



It's another crazy year in my world of entropy. I am engaged now and very excited. It will be a little while before we can get married due to money constraints, but it will happen.
I like things simple. I hope to give honest and useful advice. I don't believe in giving answers just to get good feedback. 98% of all questions put in my inbox will be answered. The only ones I don't answer are those too young to be here or too obscene/disrespectful. I don't know everything, but I think I can help a lot.

My friend's favorite thing to do was always acting, and she always wanted to make it big time. She recently tried out for a broadway show, but didn't think she'd get a part. It turned out that she did get a part, and a good one too! The thing is, she got so nervous about going into fame and all that, that she's not really sure she wants to do it anymore. I mean it's her dream to be famous and all, but she's just kinda nervous about it. I know that if she turns down the offer she'll regret if for life. What can I say to her to remind her of the good things in fame? Also, what are the advantages and disadvantages of being famous?

Tell her this is a good shot at what it is really like to be on stage, and she should go through with it. If she doesn't like it after this show, then she should pursue something else.
It is healthy to be a little nervous because it shows you actually care about the work you do. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.
The good thing is that one part can lead to another, and there might actually be another job on stage you like even more. It is hard to get a chance to make a lot of money and be famous. She needs to do it only if she is willing to work at it.
The hardest thing about being in the entertainment business for me is that you work on the weekends and late nights because that is when people who work the rest of the time get entertained. But you sometimes get to watch other people work when you are off.
The biggest reward is that you have taken a group of people from their everyday life and transported them somewhere else through the author, director, and technicians. It takes many hands to make a production work.
