As I sit here, sipping on my Chilean vino purchased oh so economically from the vendor across the boulevard, I realize that a lifestyle change is imminent. Since I am a mere virgin on this online utopia of writers, I will take a moment to introduce myself. I am a professional actress living and working in NYC. I was introduced to the world in the wonderfully dark and communist Moscow, Russia. I have lived in New York City for 3/4 of my life.
I am young but have dealt with enough tough poker hands in life to feel significantly older than my age. With that out of the way, I would like to make the commonplace vanilla statement that Anthony Bourdain may have just changed my life. As most of you may assume, if you aren't blessed with the genetic Barrymore or any other Hollywood lineage name, you will find yourself out of a job for most of your career. It won't take 20 questions to figure out where I fit in today.
I never watch television, by the way. I find that it makes me lose copious amounts of braincells faster than any Caribbean street candy. However, I stopped and hesitated at the Travel Channel (about 5 years too late) and panicked. I was watching No Reservations and I couldn't turn it off for the life of me. I blame it on his charm....charming son of a gun. We have alot in common (smoking, drinking, New Yorkers...you don't need much to feel connected to another human nowadays) and he seems to be living out my dream.
What more, as people in this absurd world, do we need? Good food, exploration, love and fascination. I intend to rethink my life and perhaps venture onto the path I was always meant for. I am an old traveler soul seeking manifestation.
