24…minus the Jack Bauer

Yup. So I’m 24 today. As of 1:06 AM. I guess it’s about time for a quarter-life crisis.

I was at an acting coach a while ago and I was filling out this little questionaire thingy in the waiting room. They ask for the range of what ages you could play. Thus far as a crappy little actor I’ve played a 30+ murder suspect on Law and Order, and I was in talks to play a 15 year old Oklahoma boy. I guess I figured that was my range so I wrote it down. Looking at those numbers though, it felt kinda weird. I feel like I could convincingly be either but nothing in between. Like I’m missing my 20’s and I’m not even halfway through them. You get a mortgage and you drive a Civic and you take your dog to the vet and pretty soon you find yourself going to bed at 11 and begrudgingly becoming a morning person. I guess in retrospect, 23 felt a lot more like what I thought 33 would feel like. I guess I’ll have to wait 10 years to know for sure. But then I feel like I’m still a little-ass kid in a lot of ways. I realized I’ve never seen the Godfather movies. Or like Caddyshack. Cause I’m a kid. And I have a lot more to do with my life. Like see the Godfather. And Caddyshack. And then there’s the fact that I’m a little dude at a towering 5'4…closer to 5'5…but I feel like when you’re as short as I am, if you’re really grabbing at those percentiles of an inch that’s just sad. I’d rather round down. But the point is I’ll always be looking up to everybody like when you’re a toddler. I mean, I can’t grow a beard yet. I shaved my sideburns a few months back and I got carded everywhere I went for a couple weeks. I guess it’s like how Yoda tells Luke his mind is never on where he is or what he’s doing. And I’m still young enough to think that’s a relevant analogy.

patrick saying his we made it moment is seeing people stay for saturday is making me feel sooo insanely emotional because it’s like. such a personal metric of success?? like. saturday was never a big hit, but they chose to end every show with it years ago anyways. even when they could see people leaving during it, they chose to keep playing it. because it meant something to Him and to Them, and to the diehard fans too. and just imagining, as time goes on, seeing people choosing to stay. actively seeing peoples opinions and hearts change over time and decide that its worth it to stay, to feel the love and importance that song holds for the band. it’s beyond just a symbolic show that your music is resonating with people and making it into their hearts- people staying Literally shows that. all us believers still believe when we sing two more weeks, y’know? and with every show, maybe they’re picking up more believers. and That is how patrick measures his success— in how many people are choosing to believe and to stay.
