Inspired by...?

Robert Downey Jr. He's an interesting guy, isn't he? He's been in jail, he grew up in a very interesting home, and now he's one of the most popular actors today.

There are plenty of cool people in the world, and though I can't really define what cool is, I would have to say ol' Robby is one of them. There is something about him that makes me want to hang out with him some day.

I was watching his interview on Inside the Actor's Studio. I do that. I watch interviews of actors I respect in order to gain a better understanding of who they are, in order to get advice from them, or whatever other reason. I realized going into this particular interview that ol' Bobbo was not like other people that have been on the show. A lot of it had to do with his entrance. Most people when walking into the Actor's Studio to talk with James Lipton acknowledge the crowd with a wave, shake Lipton's hand, readjust their coat or shirt or something, and then wait for the interview to take place. When Robert came out, he had a huge grin on his face. Not just a polite smirk, but a this-is-so-exciting-I'm-gonna-enjoy-the-hell-outta-this grin.

He even got up to watch his film clip from Scanner Darkly and laughed along with everyone else. That tells me that he enjoys what he does, and isn't afraid to enjoy himself in movies also. That is so awesome in my opinion. I don't like snobby or arrogant people. People who believe that they are better than everyone else.

I'd like to think I'm not like that, but I do have my moments.

What else? Uhm...I kinda like this blog thing. It seems a little self indulgent, but I think this will be a lot cheaper and better for the environment than keeping a paper journal so woop!

I am so anxious to get back to school! I have learned a whole lot this summer, and I can't wait to apply when I get back there. I have learned to be a person again, and I continue to. It's wonderful. I want to live my life the way I want, and frankly, I can't when I am under my parents roof.

I plan to read a lot more, I plan to work out, I plan to eat healthier, I plan to take a dance class, I plan to have more fun, I plan to be more organized, I plan to journal (or I guess blog now), I plan to connect with people more instead of idolize them, I plan to find out more about me, I plan...to stop planning so damn much. :-) I plan to not use Facebook nearly as much. There will be more planned things, but I don't think ya'll want to be bored with that.

Well, I wish there was a good way to bring Robert Downey Jr back into this and tie everything up, but I can't really think of anything so...yay! First blog!
