Gratitude

What am I grateful for? 


I am grateful for experiencing life! The fact that I breathe in fresh air everyday, the fact that I still have my five senses, which is useful to me everyday. The fact that I have family and friends who give me headaches, stress, unhappiness, happiness, comfort, love, support, values, and showing that they care about me. These are traits and emotions that you must experience some point in your life because, you don't have a life without any of them! You need those traits and emotions to allow yourself to grow as a human being; you need family and friends around you, whether they are bad or not, they will teach you things that you wouldn't even imagine that would happen to you! 


I am grateful for the entertainment industry, because it allows me to express myself for who I am, to make a goal for myself...a path.


But to conclude everything that I just said......I am grateful for just being myself....I am grateful that there is a God, a forgiving God, who loves us no matter what we do, or what we did.....I am grateful for being alive! For being Dane Smith!




Thank You....And God Bless!

Iconic Actor

There Are So Many Icons In The Acting Industry.....So Many To Choose From! An Iconic Actor Is An Actor Who Has A Strong Presence About Them, When They Walk Into A Room You Feel Royal or Evolved, or Both. Iconic Actor Is A Person Who Can Inspire A Person With Just Being In The Room With Them.
        
I Never Really Sat Down And Recognize Who Is My Iconic Actor, Because I'm Usually In The Moment Of The Movie I Am Watching.....I'm Always Wondering If I Am Amused With The Movie Or Not. But Since Then, I Sat Down And Thought About It, And My Iconic Actor, Too Me Is Mr. Bill Cosby!
        
He Is My Iconic Actor, And One Of My Favorite Actor. I Feel Like I Can Relate With Bill Cosby Only Because He Is a Comedian, And Whenever He Acts, People Expects Something Funny To Come Out Of His Mouth. Which Is The Same For Me. When I Am About To Perform, People Start To Giggle Only Because They Expect Something Funny From Me!
        
To Me, Bill Cosby Knows How To Attract His Audience. He Attracts His Audience With Comedy, With His Presence, With Production. He Is A True Actor Who Lets His Audience Say, "It Was Worth My Money!" or "It Was Worth The Wait!" 
        
Including Myself, Bill Cosby Has Inspired Thousands Of Comedians, And Hundreds Of Actors...He Has Won Awards Throughout His Career Including Special Awards Such As Four Emmy's, Nine Grammy's, And Two Golden Globe Awards (He May Have Won More..But All I Know Is That He Has At least Two)...He Also Has A Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame.  
        
Bill Cosby Has Starred In I Spy, Fat Albert, The Bill Cosby Show, The  Efficiently "Cosby Show" And Many Other's. I Honestly Fell In Love With Bill Cosby (No Homo) From The Cosby Show....I Mean Every Single Time I Watched That Show I Would Say....."Man I Wan't A Family Life Like That."
        
So To Sum This....I Chose Bill Cosby As My Iconic Actor Because To Me He Will Go Down In Entertainment History As One Of The Most Successful And Most Respected Entertainers In The World. He Is My Iconic Actor!




Thank You....And God Bless!

BAPTISM!

So On Saturday, October 9th.......I Got Baptized! Baptized......It Is Such A Good Feeling When Your Surrendering Yourself To The Lord, Because You Know The Lord Gave Everything To Allow Yourself To Be Alive By Sending His Beloved Son To Die For Our Sins; Which Is Why I Got Baptized, To Return The Respect And Love I Have For The Lord And Jesus Christ.


I Was Actually Nervous Getting Baptized. I Had To Take Off Most Of My Clothes And Wear A Cloak That Was Covering My Whole Body. Then Later I Sat Infront Of The Church, And Repeated Vows For Christ! Then Later I Waited Nervously For My Cue To Be Baptized. And When It Was My Turn, I Went To The Pastor Who Was In The Water Waiting For Me, And He Told Me What To Do When I'm About To Get Baptized. And Then When He Dipped Me Under The Water And Then I Immersed, I Felt Clean And Fresh. I Felt Like My Sins Are Gone And No More.....I Felt Like A Change Person!


Being A Christian Is Not Hard, People Will Say Things To Make You Change Your Mind Because They Don't Want To See You Do The Wrong Things....But I Only Have One Thing To Say To Them. "Allow Me To Make My Mistakes So I Can Grow And Learn From Them. Being A Christian Does Not Mean You Won't Sin. Whether You Are A Christian Or Not, You Will Sin Whether You Know It Or Not. The Point Of Being A Christian Is Your Love Of God, And Surrendering Yourself To Him Because You Are Grateful For What He Has Done In Your Life, Your Loved Ones Life, And Your Families Life.....So Don't Let Anyone Tell You Different!"


And Even If You Do Sin, Whether You Are A Christian Or Not, Confess Your Sins To The Lord, As He Is A Forgiving God!

Thank You...And God Bless!

Post-Branding!

Today, I Woke Up After Five O'Clock A.m. And Got Ready For School To Set Up My Branding Presentation With My Group Members And Classmates....In A Way I Felt Good Because I Was The First Student To Be Inside The School Right At 6:30, But I Felt Weird To, Because Only Nerds Come That Early....Lol Forgive Me Lord!


My Classmates And I Sett Up Till 9:45am!


We, The Boys, Started The Presentation Around 9:45am. I Was Helping Backstage, And Serving So Many People, I Was All Up In They Face; Good Thing Mariah Carey Wasn't There To Sing "Up Out My Face Boy!" We, The Boys, Decided The Name To Be Infinite Productions, And Our Corporate Colors Were Black/Silver (Gray)/ White. The Girls Decided To Call Them Self To Be Soul Visionary Productions, And Their Corporate Colors Were White/Black/Cacky Or Camel Or Something!


In The End, The Girls Had Finally Won After So Much Suffering! I Was Happy For Them....I Really Was, But In The Same time, I Was Thinking About The Corporate Colors....I Don't Have Cacky! And I Don't Like That Color.....It Looks To Pale Of A Color To Be Worn....Sorry! But At The End Of The Day, I Have To Live With It....But Thank God I Am Only Living With It For Four More Months...Lol


And The Name...Soul Visionary Productions...I Did not Like, Because It Sounded very Feminine.....Whenever I Call Out The Name Soul Visionary, The Only Thing That Pops Up In My Head Are Girls Having A Happy Time!....But Where Are The Boys? But Like I Send....I Have To Cope With It! So....CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS, YOU FINALLY WON!


Thank You!....And God Bless!

So You Think You Can Dance!

So Today, We Went To Be In An Elimination Episode Of So You Can Think You Can Dance. I


Wasn't Too Excited Because I Have Been There At Least Five Times And It Kinda Gets Boring,


The Only Highlight Of The Trip Is The Bus Ride To The Destination And Back! Oh Yeah And


The Food!


So First We Stay'd In Line For At Least 15 Minutes, Then We Got In The Studio Place,


Broadcast Place, Tappuu.....Whatever You Call It (Wherever They Film The Show) And We


Started Method Acting.


Method Acting (Read The Definition On This Link, Cuz I Ain't Typing It Up...Lol):
http://www.moderntimes.com/palace/method.htm


As Soon As We Got In The Place, I Went Straight To The Line (Cuz Ain't Know Way Imma


Stand With People  Behind Me, Before Me, Side Of Me; I Want The Top Spot!) So I Stayd In


The Very Beginning Of The Line (My Method Acting Character Is To Play A Sick Person, And


Man Did I Play That Well! I Was Coughing Like A Hyena Laughing At Itself!......I


HEHEHHEEEEE I HEHEHHE!) And Since I Was There I Decided To Share My Glory Of Being


Near To The Front Of The Line, By Sharing My Spot With My Best Friend, Mzz Vocalz!


It Was So Funny, Because When A Bunch Of People Went To A Line That Wasn't Meant To


Be, Mzz Vocalz And I Laughed At Them So Hard Telling A Them "Get To The Back Of The


Line" In A Jim Carey/Mike Myers Imitation!


So When The Line Started To Move We Were Able To Stand In The Place Of The Whole


Studio! I Was So Happy, I Was Dancing And Coughing At The Same Time.


It Was So Funny I Enjoyed Myself That Day!


Thank You....And God Bless!
