Miniature rounds were fired from all corners today at home~ Somehow hitting someone and missing everyone else, and it's all because of individual agendas. It's been a rather disjointed day at home. I actually made an estimate - there were less than 50 complete sentences spoken at home the whole day! Gasp!

I remember vividly this chap who contacted my ex-company, saying he would like to be produced as a singer/songwriter. I was keen on the idea - after all, stardom require confidence, and this guy has it prepared like a script.

So a date was made, and we waited to receive him at a certain time of day. But when he showed up, we completely gave up on even considering him.

He was a little too horizontally-friendly to begin with, almost zero maintenance on his rather gifted facial complexion, and he showed up in T-shirt, shorts, slippers, and a completely wake-up-look hairstyle. Walked right in with a laptop in hand, kinda staggering as if he was tipsy, and worst off, spoke as if he was a cool-sort of guy - which, IMHO, he was trying too hard to impress.

My colleague sat with him - I practically left the room. He went on about all these potential hits and music that he had done, and on about his fabulous voice - ya noe, I'll cut short the description - he wanted to be the next Steph. Like I said, I left the room.

Now I'm not trying to put people down, but being in the limelight requires some qualities which, firstly, needs to be inertly, groomed, and finelined; secondly, requires a lot of patience, humility, and most critically, open-mindedness.

When he walked in, it was all wrong. Of course, watching the Idols and reality shows akin to that had been hilarious and corny, but it is so in reality. Some people just don't get it.

Well, not to leave anyone hanging, some things which I would advice when attempting to bask in the limelight:
- confidence is a must, but self-praise is no praise;
- pick the right category, don't blindly walk into a singing audition when you are interested in acting;
- at all times, appear fresh, positive, and groomed, and always be punctual;
- assemble your portfolio proper. Remember: Producers and Directors have no time for you to set up anything;
- prepare your opening speech, watch out for sensitive questions like, "so what makes you think you can be a star?" go in prepared to be fired, don't expect;
- show your strengths, hide your weaknesses: if you can sing but don't look good, make sure you get a make-over;
- walk with style; don't swank or sashay unless you are auditioning to be a model;
- eliminate any trace of sloppiness: even rock stars are stylised junkies, not some off-the-street bummer;
- strive to improve, not deteoriate your craft through relentless practice;
- do not take anything for granted, and do not expect anything more than a flat "NO".

Hope this helps for all the hopefuls!

I had a small brain freeze today after reading the papers: the polar caps are melting, deserts are expanding, storms are getting more violent, mother nature is slowing down.

Not that I'm an activist - I would love to live in space too - but nature, as in its own description, cannot be recreated in its true form. Please, love nature. That's the only thing that's turning me off from having a dozen kids - to know that kids these days think Chickens come from K-Mart and Carrefour didn't quite help.

Love to all. A little topicless for blogging tonight. :wink:
