Woke up today to everything gray

The title's a line from a song by a band called Guster, and it applies to my morning perfectly. Add to that the wail of sirens, furious honking by passing cabbies, and calls for help from the resident homeless lady parked under my bedroom window (literally parked, she's in a motorized wheelchair), and there you have my typical wake-up call.  It's my own personal alarm clock that I have no control over, but who needs an actual alarm clock when you live 2 blocks away from a hospital?

So, I woke up this morning to my own personal alarm at 6:42 and hit the snooze button. The snooze button in this case is my robe, and I use it to cover my head and face in the hopes that I can trick my brain into thinking it's still dark, and to please let me fall back asleep. It worked, until 9:23, at which point I realized I needed to get out of bed and start my day.

And so, 'A Freckled Life' was created. A way for me to share with you my musings over everything from my adventures in NYC pursuing acting professionally (AKA broke and constantly rejected), to some of my other passions: pop culture, world affairs, travel, politics, and everything in between. A Freckled Life isn't just a reference to the freckles on my face, I'm slightly more creative than that (slightly). It's more of a way of life,  or a way to look at life. Freckles are defined as dark brown spots on your skin, mostly found on your face. They are different in everything from shape, size, and color.
From as little as a few feet away, the majority of people can't even see them (unless, of course, you are a superhero with uncanny powers of sight). Upon closer inspection, the freckles become more apparent, more real, and more vivid. Such is life, really. Dotted with experiences that are always different, but that shape who you are, majority of the times different from the next person.

I hope that you can enjoy my blogs and relate, contemplate, and generally enjoy yourself. A laugh or two here and there would be nice, as well.

Let's enjoy lifes freckles together!

One Love.
