Wait, hold everything... that's the Marines, and as I clearly say several times in the movie, my new film, "Rocket's Red Glare is all about the AIRFORCE! HUAH! However, there were more than a few proud people in attendance when Vandenberg Airforce Base hosted the recent premiere screening of "RRG."

On August 11th, the stars were out and in attendance. So were the stripes, the bars, the oak leaves and the birds. That's military talk for some military ranks from enlisted men to generals. The military men and women who starred in the film, and who helped make the film a success, were at the screening.

The traditional red carpet entrance was replaced by a walkway lined with 50 American flags leading to the ballroom where the screen read... Rocket's Red Glare screening begins at 13:00. That's military time for 1 PM. It was so cool. The greatest honor came when I was presented with the traditional silk pilots scarf and made an honorary member of the 30th Space Wing.

Some people have the crazy idea that in senior year you can just kick back, take a few required courses to get those last credits you need and add in some fluff stuff to kill time. Not true, and not me. With my busy schedule, I had to get creative this year to make sure I meet my requirements but enrolled in classes that are easy to administer from wherever I happen to be. I couldn't do it without the help of my counselor and teachers who have always been 100% supportive.

The great thing about being a senior is that if you've met all the requirements to graduate, you can actually take some classes that really interest you. I enrolled in a Construction Tech class at Vo-Tech. It's great! I'm learning about specs for commercial and residential building, how to read plans, using construction math, the use of and respect for power tools, and doing some real hands on building and demolition stuff. I figure if this whole acting thing ever stops paying off, I can always make a living as a carpenter. Hey, it worked for Harrison Ford! Seriously, it could really help me learn about real estate investing and remodeling.

I'm also enrolled in a Multimedia Communications course learning about the endless jobs available in the use of computers. There are so many ways to use computers and the Internet. You can use them for communications or to create and manage a successful business.

This year our travels took us to Lake Eufaula where we found this awesome bridge. We just had to jump from it. Now, we're not totally crazy. We checked out the water and scoped the whole thing out first. The two guys standing at the far left are actually two rangers who drove by and told us we really shouldn't be doing what we were doing. But, we talked them into letting us jump one more time to get this picture. They agreed because they had never seen anyone crazy enough to actually do it before. It was a rush.

Remember... "don't try this at home." it can be dangerous if you aren't smart about it. If you're gonna be extreme you've got to stay in control too. Know your limits and always check things out first. Don't go off half crazy or do anything stupid. It's ok to live life on the edge, but you've got to know when to step back.

However, I consider myself pretty lucky to be working on this film. I get to try out a little Irish dialect, learn to step dance and wear some awesome costumes. I spend most of my time shooting hoops and playing old Irish sports like hurling, the chariot wheel toss and other ancient games from the Irish Tailteann Games.
