CONSTRUCTION AGAIN, AND NO OUTLET TO TURN OFF ON

OKAY, I KNOW WHAT YOU MUST BE THINKING BY THE TITLE OF THIS BLOG, BUT JUST HEAR ME OUT! I'LL START WITH A RHETORICAL QUESTION THAT OF COURSE NEEDS NO ANSWER. DON'T YOU THINK YOU ALMOST ALWAYS FIND YOUR WAY AROUND PLACES WHEN YOU ARE ALMOST ALWAYS COMPLETELY LOST! WHAT? AGAIN, RHETORICAL! OKAY, I'M ON MY WAY TO AN IMPORTANT MEETING WITH A TALENT AGENCY AND I DECIDED TO USE MAPQUEST. NOW, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE DIRECTIONALLY CHALLENGED AS I AM, YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS AN AWESOME DRIVING FOR DUMMIES GUIDE. . . UNLESS. . . CONSTRUCTION IS IN THE MIX! UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DID NOT SHARE WITH ME THAT DETOUR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL DIRECTIONS, WHO KNEW? I DIDN'T, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT AN ACTOR CAN'T BE IS LATE TO AN AUDITION! DIRECTORS AND CASTING AGENTS DON'T SEEM TO LIKE THAT TOO WELL! SO, HERE ARE THE TOP TEN TIPS TO DO WHEN YOU GET LOST!

1. DON'T PANIC, ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME RIGHT, BUT SINCE IT'S TEXAS, ANY DAIRY QUEEN WILL DO.

2. FIND A TURN A ROUND. THEY REALLY ARE SELF EXPLANITORY YOU KNOW!

3. GET ONSTAR, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONSTAR BORROW SOMEONE'S CAR WHO DOES

4. TAKE YOUR WIFE, THEY'RE GREAT AT DIRECTIONS, OR AT LEAST ASKING FOR THEM BECAUSE WE'RE MEN AND I GUESS WE THREW OURS OUT THE WINDOW!

5. TAKE THE TURN A ROUND AND RETRIEVE THE DIRECTIONS YOU THREW OUT THE WINDOW IN FRUSTRATION

6. STOP AT A GAS STATION, IT'S SLURPEE TIME! AFTER ALL, YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR WAY IF YOU HAVE AN EMPTY TANK OF GAS AND NO WHERE TO GO, AND THIS IS USUALLY BATHROOM TIME BECAUSE YOU MISSED THE REST AREA EXIT ANYWAY

7. PULL OVER AND TAKE A NAP! YOU CAN'T STRESS OUT NOW, YOU HAVE SLURPEE ON THE BRAIN AND ALL THIS WORK LOOKING FOR YOUR EXIT HAS BEEN EXHAUSTING! BESIDES, I ALWAYS THINK BETTER AFTER A NICE NAP!

8. GET A TOUR GUIDE OF THE CITY, THIS COSTS MONEY BUT WE MEN WILL NOT ACCEPT DEFEAT! IF WE MAKE IT OUR WIFE'S IDEA, SHE MIGHT GO ALONG WITH IT ANYWAY!

9. MAKE YOUR WIFE THE TOUR GUIDE, BECAUSE THE REASON WHY WE GOT LOST IN THE FIRST PLACE IS WELL, SEE TIP NUMBER 4!

10. IF YOU END UP IN AN UNCHARTED DESTINATION, CONSIDER IT A ROAD TRIP, JUST SAY 'HONEY, LOOK AT THIS PLACE, HAVE WE BEEN HERE BEFORE?' IF SHE REPLIES "YES", THEN REPLY BACK "SEE I TOLD YOU I KNEW MY WAY AROUND THIS PLACE"!!

THAT'S IT FOR TODAY!!!

STAYED TUNED NEXT WEEK FOR ANOTHER EXCITING BLOG FROM ERIK'S ACTING CORNER,

REMEMBER TO LOVE THE "ONE" WHO CREATED IT "ALL"!!
