Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I'm glad you somehow stumbled onto my stuff. I haven't put out an Unkempt in quite a while but there are a bunch here that I hope you enjoy. Pick up that ticket, brotha;) Tim Hey Darren.

You're right, we're all gamblers if we're in the film industry (an actor, myself). If the equivalent of picking up a ticket to see if it's a winner were in front of me as an actor - I'd pick it up. Could that be the occasional short film? Student project? That next audition that I just don't feel I have the energy for but know I need to step up and attempt to conquer? What will be that ticket in the parking lot for me? Great work here, Tim. This was my first podcast of yours to listen to... it will NOT be my last. Thanks for putting it all into perspective, Tim!

What a great story!!..when I think of all the Damone quotes & references throughout high school, it makes it that much funnier. Wasn't there someone we called Damone?? for one reason or another? Keep up the good work & if you're ever back in Boston give us a shout. Yo Tim,

You must tell me sometime on the phone. They're probably the same parents who would have reamed your mother's ass for taking a bunch of you guys to see "Scarface" with Al Pacino. Nothing like a nice Brian DePalma movie for a group of 10 year olds. Excellent episode Tim. DAD Tim,

I just realized what makes these things you do so great for anyone, not just your fellow LA dwellers. Even a schmuck like me sitting here in freakin' Helsinki, Finland. It's called 'therapeutic metaphor'. Meaning, the details in well-crafted story parallel the listener's situation enough to perceive it more clearly, or to see new aspects of it. You do it well.

Anthony - Not sure about the "wanting to be famous" thing. I think people desperately want to be validated. They want the world, the powers that be, to deem them worthy of a career. Sometimes a certain level of fame comes with that. The ego is a tough thing to be reckoned with. For sure. Rob - Thanks. I was hoping the ending would come as a surprise. Janet - Great to hear from you. Damone certainly was an inspiration. Ron - Awesome re: Ronald Jenkees. Love that guys music. I'm glad you hooked him up with a sale. Scott – Thanks so much.

I once directed a scene in a small movie myself and my friends made where we "borrowed" a large room on our school's campus. As we were setting up for filming we were interrupted by a passing janitor who was suspicious of us. He wondered if we were setting up for the event that was taking place in this room later that evening. Of course, we said "Yes". :) BTW, I'm currently listening to the Ronald Jenkees album I just purchased because of your show. You have great music selection. Looking forward to the next episode.
