Sailor

I wrote this for my friend Melissa to sing, she has such an amazing voice, and she's a great songwriter I can't wait to hear what she does with it. I was thinking about that movie, Dear John, and this mug I read at Anthropology, it said "the stormy seas is what kept my sailor from reaching me" Also I was thinking about sometimes people don't want you to love them, but you do anyways, you can't explain it. All that was my inspiration for this one song.

SAILOR

You left a sea between us my dear
And I don’t have the strength to make the swim
I ask you to meet me half way
But your too afraid of diving in

I will wait out the storms for you
I know you are thinking of me
I look up at the moonlight sky for hope
I hope your thinking of me

Come back to me my sailor
I should have never let you set sail alone
Sail back to me my sailor
I can’t conquer this new world on my own

I write this love letter to you
send it out with my heart enclosed
Let the wind bring you my soul
Let the wind please bring you back home

I will wait out the storms for you
I know you are thinking of me
I look up at the moonlight sky for hope
I hope your thinking of me

Come back to me my sailor
I should have never let you set sail alone
Sail back to me my sailor
I can’t conquer this new world on my own

Oh love please don’t put these spells in my head
I know I was only made for one man
Oh love please stop the pain in my heart
Please lift this heaviness off of my chest

Come back to me my sailor
I should have never let you set sail alone
Sail back to me my sailor
I can’t conquer this new world on my own

Come back to me my sailor
I should have never let you set sail alone
Sail back to me my sailor
I can’t conquer this new world on my own

scattered storms

just a couple I want to share.....hope you like...

ROMEO

try to capture the thought
attempt to put it in words
a spell has come over
a rhythm has occurred

a universe only the few can see
a universe containing you and me

but i know me and haven't figured out you
but i read you, and write you, everyday....


DECEMBER

it was a cool December night
as we bathed our bodies in the moonlight
we disappear under the stars
defining the weakness in our hearts

and as i lay on top of you
i was taken by how your eyes shine
and how your heart remained
so adjacent to mine

oh just by the way you look at me
so captivatingly
detaining my soul
so fastening

we only had one blanket to share
as we lay liberated
succumb to still air
and you hold me so secure

Oh you give me shivers boy
just by the way you look at me


RED

red, red is the color left on your lips
after you kiss me and my red lipstick
red is the lust you feel inside
red is your body temperature on the rise

red is the color of my lace lingerie
that lures you in the bedroom to play
red is the light that sets the mood
red is affection, red is rouge.....

YOU ARE


you are the lite to my cigarette
you are the cool to my mint
you are the whip cream on my pecan pie
you are the sun in my sky

LOVE

we can never be torn apart
'cause we've got love
sewn deep in our hearts

we can never be broken down
'cause we know love
when we see love
and it is love
that we have
found

LORD

Lord please shine your light down to save me
i can't stop this pain
Lord please let me be the one
the one you reach today

COLD

the days turn cold
as my love for you turns to stone
and when you call again
i will resent you
and when you seek for it
i will never forgive

'cause that's the game we play
that's the ingredients for the love we make
and when it came too soon
you were right to ask
and when it was gone too fast
i was wrong to cry

now, your name is too common
to be spoken from the malicious lips
your space is one that created the false truth i believed in
and in the end
it was the petty things that blew me away
now as the fire fills the air, the faith of you disappears
written above, is the challenge of your love
a game too easily won, a game I was a fool to gamble on

Steel Heart

I think someone cracked open my steel heart, I thought I had it on lock down like fort knox, it must have been a sneak attack. sneaky bastard. what can i do? i have all these emoitions pouring out like amazing colorful waterfalls, i kinda like it, i kinda feel sick, i kinda feel excited, i don't like change, but i like different, if that makes sense. I don't know, it's a good intense feeling after all, I thought there was just empty space in this chest of mine, now I know that at least i'm human. it's not broken, just cracked open.

I feel like i'm holding a bunch of broken hearts on my plate, I feel weird or different, I never knew I could be so caring, but i understand a lot of people now, I think i fell down to earth from whatever planet I was on before, I feel more connected to people than i have in a long time.

my little dog makes noises in her sleep like she is having a nightmare. :(

this is something i wrote before when i believed in love:

did you know what they say about a kiss?
it comes from the spirit, and as the two souls connect, your mind disappers and all you do is feel.

do you know how i feel when i kiss you?
i feel like i don't want to kiss anyone else, your the only one boy that i want in my bed, your the only one I long to sleep with.

do you know i'm crazy about you?
and i'm crazy about every kiss, the way your love transfers into my soul, the impact entraps my being, sending me into a blissful trance, only me and you can fully understand.

Do you know how much I love you?
i will fight for you, whatever it takes, i know we only have one chance at true love, i will never let anything come between us. my heart belongs to you.

*you know, maybe the sneaky bastard is me*

going to sell my car and go to Vegas






somebody told me that's where dreams would be, love that song....by sara bareilles


I just booked a suite for the July 4th weekend, just a girls trip, some great girls that I met on the this wacky tv show I did. We said after that crazy experience where only we know what really went down, we all need to celebrate in Vegas together, and we made it happen. I hope it actually becomes a tradition. ++++Added to the group is my friend Denise, we act together in a bunch of different films. It's kinda funny actually. I love Vegas because there is always something to-do, last year I was obsessed with trying to get a real tan, I usually spray tan, but this year, I'm just going to spray tan, and not worry about it, I can't tan in real life, I'm over it!

And I love going to H&M, not just because it's Swedish clothing, but because it's really cheap & cute, they don't have a store here in Texas, shopping is always fun at the Cesar's palace and they have a bunch of great places to eat in Vegas too, great sushi at Tao, and Treasure island, at the Paris they have the best breakfast buffet, if you can actually wake up in time to get to it! I'm going to try this year!

It's just full of ridiculousness, no one knows each other, & everyone is in Vegas to have a good time. My favorite thing to do are the pool parties, because everyone is just about having fun, and it's way different from the night clubs, you can actually see everyone and because at night people are on the prowl to hook up with someone, you can see it in their eyes....... not me, lol, I'll pass, I'll be at the blackjack table drinking screwdrivers. Or at our own table in the back of the club.

I put some pics up from last year, can't wait to take new ones!


Cute bikinis, frozen drinks, dancing, shows, and I think I'm the only one in the group that actually likes to gamble. That's Vegas baby :D.

This is me writing

too many questions, not enough answers
so many sights to see, not enough chances

if i painted a picture for all the beautiful moments,
i wouldn't have enough paint, to capture all the emotions
and if I sang a song to express it all,
it would probably be too long, and I would probably get turned off

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

slowly little flower
underneath the tree
waiting for the sunset
the darkness sets you free

up onto the wild places
where roaming is a must
tried and failed over again
onto the breaking cusps

wish you had a road to follow
that wouldn't bring you to your knees
but the flower that you've become today
is taller than any tree

*******************************************************

{This is a song I wrote about a year ago}


YESTERDAYS

can i live again, like i used to
can i give in, and trust you
will you break away, all my boundaries
and accept me, piece by piece

i keep dreaming, just not sleeping
eyes wide open, never seeing
my heart stops beating, when i say goodnight, my love

and I keep on sinking, deep into my past
searching for the yesterdays, I keep on turning
in the wrong direction, tell me can you see me now

Confessions of a Blog Queen




That's not me, I don't confess too much on here, I really keep it kosher and clean, but I will say one thing, I hate this feeling I'm having right now, I'm really scared and worried about something, you know when you have that sick feeling in your stomach, and you've had it from the beginning? but you ignore and then it comes back a little later? Hmmmm, don't know if I'm making sense, maybe to some people... but not to everyone, anyways, we will see tomorrow.... AH!

So I wrapped on filming Reinfield today, it's a vampire movie, I've never gotten attacked by a vampire, so that's another one to put in the books, it was better than being attacked by something else that's for sure, and we made it sexy.

We actually filmed where my parents own a beach house, random I know, because it's this super small ass fishing town. So, of course I totally road tripped up here with my parents and on the 3 hour drive we talked about movies, Vegas, mary jane, hahaha! & we made fun of my little pig dog, named Chancha, she's gained some weight, 4 pounds to be exact! That's a lot for a now 14 pound dog! Once when we got here, we took the little electric cars and drove around the little town, saw what bar I was going to be filming at, saw the fishing center where no one was, because the weather totally sucks, so we went to the store and got some blue bell ice cream & lotto tickets. Once we came back and ate/unloaded I typed on the computer until my hands alomost fell off about this film that I want to shoot, it's easy to write because it's based on a couple of true stories, it's just writing it in sync and putting it into some kind of interesting format. I wrote as much as I could until I passed out at 9pm. Then I woke up at 1am because I thought of the ending and did not want to forget, or could I let myself fall back asleep, I really tried, I was too lazy to get up, but at least I finished it! The story part not the script. & Damn it's hard to write a screen play, I didn't realize all the detail until I started doing it, but I'm up for the challenge & my friend who is a real screen writer is also going to be writing it along with me. Together we'll make it badass. I'll give more details later ;)... Then we woke up this morning, went bike riding for about an hour, talked about hot tennis guys, this new one from Spain is becoming pretty good, had tons of coffee, then off to set to film a vampire movie.

Had tons of fun throughout the day, even had some amazing seafood gumbo and took some pics on EASY street, lol. So we had to look the part.

Check it out!

Tired of being someone else




I most definitely am an actress, I most definitely put on a show most of the time, it's like that always, I used to not be like that, I swear I find myself saying that a lot. I used to not care about what anyone thought or said, but kinda am seeing a water downed version of myself lately.

I don't like it. I guess I got lazy. Moving on.

I was thinking about heartbreak, I recently talked to someone who has seemed to have a lot of heartbreak, and it made me a little jealous, I wish I could love someone that much. I think I had my heart broken just once when I was 15 and I never was able to put it back together. So in the words of Andy Warhol, "how can you ever fall apart, if you never really fell together?" I often think about him when I feel like this. I wish I could go be a pretzel in his arms again. I told him he was my best friend, he made my heart melt, I loved everything about him, he had the best smile, he was so cute, and we had a secret love affair. Um, could you ask for more? I was 15, hello, I could just die right then, it was the best thing in the world. I'll never forget our special moments, and how his car smelled like red Gatorade. This was before facebook and myspace, before digital cameras. I only have a couple of pictures of us, because documenting your life was not really what people did too much of back then, but isn't it funny when someone dies, you wish you had so many more pictures of that person? I mean that seems to be the case with me. I miss him, what I would do to get him back? hmmmm....... anything. I never knew what I was going to do with my life, but I do wish he could be here now, that he could see me now, what I grew into, I know we would still be friends, I know he would love this little crazy life of mine. I'm thinking he on the other hand would have a 9-5 right now, it just seems that way because that's the way he was, very simple kinda. I long for a simple life, and some real heartache.

The picture is Ken and I at one of my first shows, I wrote this album called Transitions and song number 11 was for the boy I'm talking about in my blog, but I think I'm going to write a better one, now that I've been doing this a while.

I can't clean anymore

I'm really really trying to clean and get everything done in one day, it's so boring! i can't do it, I feel like I would so rather be doing anything else. I keep lugging everything around, and it seems like I'll never be done. But I most definatly want to finish today because I need to start singing/recording/writing again, and I want to start that next week, and tomorrow I leave for a couple of days at the beach, I film on Friday, and Sat I'm at a wedding, so sunday I'll probably be hungover again, I really need to stop drinking, haha! YIKES! So you see my problem is that I really want a chocalate cupcake and someone to clean my place for me. I could pay someone, but then I still have to tell them where everything goes, and that is the main thing is just putting the shit up. WAH :(, what a complainer I am, and you know it didn't really help one bit. hahaha! HELP ME! ~Julin

peace

You know me, but you don't.
I'm not what you think I am, but I am
exactly what you want.
An artist of sorts, a lover of life, whatever comes my way, I handle it with a bang.

Music life


Music sometimes is like the soundtrack to my life, I have much love for many people that write songs that capture the mood, especially when I need it, like driving on the way back from Austin, I hate driving, so I turned on Cat Power, Ane Brun, and Venus Hum and was able to think about something else. It was Easter too, so traffic was horrible and everyone was getting into wrecks, where's the fire people? It's Sunday, Relax. My friend Denise and I were in a music video together recently, I usually don't do music videos, but it was fun actually, we got to hang around most of the day and got to hear some of Drew Kennedy's music, it was a nice day. So, being a music video vixen now, I can give the inside look of what really goes on, I have some pics on my facebook.com/julinjean under ATM, and also here are some videos with an interview from a cast/crew member on set. Check it out!

Cherry Bomb Film

So in my next movie, Cherry Bomb, I go on killing spree, and I've never shot a gun before and in this movie I'm using about 3 or 4 different types, so the guys took my to the gun range so I could at least look like I know what I'm doing when it comes to the film. I'm not going to lie, it was pretty scary at first, just because I don't know how guns work and ect. But after the first couple of rounds, I got the hang of it, even hit some targets! There is a better behind the scenes video they are going to put with the dvd, but here are some that I took with my camera. So check out Cherry Bomb for updates at www.cherrybombfilm.com :) xoxo ~julin

Skinny and Healthy







That's what everyone wants to be, even me of course, why not? There are many types of skinny though, Hollywood skinny, and normal skinny are not the same thing, and depends on who you ask also.

I just like to feel good about my self, I don't care that much what other people think.

But on my quest to be healthier I learned some of my own tricks to this I want to share.

First off, I started eating breakfast, nothing big, but I will have 8oz of odwalla smoothie and 2 tablespoons of flax seed oil mixed in, then I kinda down it. And I'll have some PG tips English tea or green tea, and green tea actually helps you burn fat. Or I'll add some fresh fruit to that, blueberries and strawberries, or 2 pieces of toast with peanut butter and marmalade , yum! Then I'll write a blog or check my email while waiting 30-45 min before I go to the gym. I can't just wake up and go to the gym, who wants to do that?

Then I try to go to the gym for a bit, I would rather workout outside, but it's way too cold. Then I'll come back and have a spinach egg white omelet, with 3 or 4 eggs, one with the yolk, so not all egg white. Maybe I'll buckle down and have a soy latte with that.

Then I'll do whatever else I have to do for the day.

My favorite snack is about 20 almonds poured into a cup then I put honey on top and eat it with a spoon, it's pretty good I'll have that with some peppermint tea.

For dinner I'll have a salad or cooked veggies with some kind of protein, usually fish.

and dessert, I love frozen yogurt or sour patch kids, or sometimes I will try to eat just fruit, but that doesn't happen I have to put it in the yogurt.

If I'm really hungry, I'll snack on some fresh fruit, cottage cheese and gluten free crackers, oatmeal, edamae.

I don't ever let myself starve or be really hungry, when you are happy and healthy, that's when your beautiful, not skinny and starving and depressed, it's like they all go together, I mean we only live once, so make the best out of it you know. And I know that eating fast food and pizza does not make me happy, I feel gross, but once in a while it's fun.

Teen Pregnancy






So,

I love Thora Birch, and even though she was in a kinda lame movie, nothing like American Beauty, but I still watched it, it was free. It was called Preganancy Pact. It's about these 15 year old girls who all wanted to get pregnant at the same time. Weird, when I was 15 I was not thinking about babies, I was thinking about partying and playing tennis. I had no desire to have kids at all, back in Highschool that was like a deal breaker. No college, no single life, nothing. So I just can't imagine little girls wanting to have kids.

Then I thought about, what if I had a little girl, how could I stop her from getting pregnant young? There is really no way that you can stop someone from doing what they want to do. I'm the youngest of 4, so my mom always told me, if I did get pregnant then I'm on my own, because she raised 4 kids and doesn't want to do it again, I will have to get a job, pay for everything myself, plus I know that they would be really disappointed in me, which would be the most devasting thing. I'm pretty close to both of my parents.

Huh, so weird, I was thinking if I was in that position then I would just say the same thing, but when my mom said it, she really meant it, and I knew it. Some of the people I know growing up that had kids, was like yeah, my mom said that too, but now she's going to help. I was like no, my mom wouldn't change her mind at all.

I believe everything happens for a reason though, even if it's not true, it's just better to think that way, I think, and when a bunch of negative things happen to you, and life totally sucks, that's just because something really great is about to happen to you. It always works for me. The power of positive thinking.

This is the movie where I rememerd Thora Birch, I always wanted to be like these girls when I was little: Thora Birch & Christina Ricci.

Let's Talk Coffee







So if you know me, you know I love coffee, but you don't really know why or how much. The thing is, it's not just about the coffee, it's about the coffee shop, the idea of coffee, and the culture, I guess.

Before I decided to kinda pursue my acting full-time, well, I can't even say that, ok how do I say this, when I got out of school, I never wanted a 9-5 job, I wanted to open up my own business, and there is this place in Houston, I go to a lot it's called Agora, I put a picture up, so I just love being there and so I thought if I could just have a place of my own, and I could hang out there all the time why not.

So, I did a bunch of research, learned everything there is to know about coffee, and the business, and decided that before I settle down I want to be free and travel and enjoy my younger years first. Because once you open up a business it's not like you can take off to Europe for a month, you have to stay there for a while, make sure everything is going ok, then you can take off.

So I read this book called "The joy of Coffee," and I learned that starbucks makes the worst coffee ever, they make a Carmel macchiato like a latte, their beans are 2 years old, and the cheapest ones you can buy, because no one goes there and orders real coffee, just sweet drinks, but enough about that....

...my point was, that every morning when I make coffee, I have to decide how I'm going to make it, I have 4 coffee makers, one that only makes real American coffee, the 3 others just make Espresso, One is The Moka, which is one of the easier ones, and it's what I used this morning, it was first made in 1933, and since Italians travel to the coffee shop several times a day, when they want it at home they use an easy inexpensive, (about $30) way to do it themselves. So, when I make it in that device, I warm some milk in the microwave and I have a latte. You have to put espresso extra fine grind in the machine, or you can buy it already ground, like me I sometimes buy El Pico :D

If I want regular American coffee, I like to grind my own beans, because they are the freshest when you grind them your self, every day they sit unground the less fresh they are, you get it, you have to get the one wear you can select different types of grind too, it's about ($50), so I use this Bodum Plunger Pot or French Press ($20). It's really easy too you just take your regular ground beans, put them at the bottom and then fill it up with hot water and let it sit for 4-6 min, then press the handle down to filter out the coffee. You have to figure the kinda portions you want though. I always guesstimate.

The other 2 I have, are espresso machines, one is really cute and red, and I bought it because I liked the way it looked and it matched my kitchen, only I found out later that it only takes pods, but it's still cute so I kept it. I put a picture up, I have the exact one.

The other one is more original you put your own beans in there and have to pack them in and it's a lot to clean so I really don't use that one at all anymore. I should sell it actually.

Well, that's it, if your interested in where the best beans are or considered the best blend, there is one place in Houston to buy it, others are knock offs, it's about $18 for a small bag it's called Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.

It's really expensive, I found $179.52 for a 3lb bag! on Amazon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_Blue_Mountain_Coffee::::::::::
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee or Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is a classification of coffee grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The best lots of Blue Mountain coffee are noted for their mild flavour and lack of bitterness. Over the last several decades, this coffee has developed a reputation that has made it one of the most expensive and sought-after coffees in the world. In addition to its use for brewed coffee, the beans are the flavor base of Tia Maria coffee liqueur.

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is a globally protected certification mark meaning that only coffee certified by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica can be labeled as such. It comes from a recognised growing region in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica and its cultivation is monitored by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica.

The Blue Mountains are generally located between Kingston to the south and Port Maria to the north. Rising to 2,300 metres (7,500 ft), they are some of the highest mountains in the Caribbean. The climate of the region is cool and misty with high rainfall. The soil is rich with excellent drainage. This combination of climate and soil is considered ideal for coffee.

Taking Woodstock



So I have seen the documentry about WoodStock some time ago, I'm a huge fan of Janis Joplin, my dream would be to play her in a movie, I can totally pull of the voice, I can get the look too I think.

OK so, first of all I'm in love with Emile Hirsch, So I look forard to anything he is in, and when I saw he was in a movie about WoodStock, I was like awesome, I really wanted to watch, but then I forgot about it, but last night looking for something to watch, I saw it was onDemand, YAY!

I love it!!! So much so that I want to be a Hippie, everyone seems so happy, I wish I was alive back then, I would have been there.

Its about this guy who claims he was responsible for where it was held, and there is this guy on a horse with long curly brown hair and a leather brown vest,he just seems so peaceful and his eyes sparkle, his hair flows through the wind while he rides his horse, he's just like love and peace man. OMG, I love it!

Also Paul Dano is in it, he is the guy from Little Miss Sunshine, and there is this crazy theater troupe that get's naked all the time for no reason, and the Jewish mom keeps chasing them with a broom, because they live in their barn, it's so funny!!!

My friend Melissa totally bought the poster from Marshalls back in the day, and I thought it was cool, but I didn't get one too, at the time, but now I'm totally jealous and want one, and am going to make a shirt!

INFO FROM WILKAPEDIA::::

According to Elliot Tiber in his 2007 book Taking Woodstock, Tiber offered to host the event on his 15 acres (61,000 m2) motel[clarification needed], and had a permit for such an event. He claims to have introduced the promoters to dairy farmer Max Yasgur.[12] Lang, however, disputes Tiber's account, and says that Tiber introduced him to a real estate salesman, who drove him to Yasgur's farm without Tiber. Sam Yasgur, Max's son, agrees with Lang's account.[13] Yasgur's land formed a natural bowl sloping down to Filippini Pond on the land's north side. The stage would be set at the bottom of the hill with Filippini Pond forming a backdrop. The pond would become a popular skinny dipping destination.

The organizers once again told Bethel authorities they expected no more than 50,000 people.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Really cool so it was 1969, not the 70s. And they said that the people dressed bohemian, and that's where my grama's from, Bohemia,lol, so that's totally me!

I knew I was in the wrong century!

Feb is the new Jan!


When you get a chance, check out my interview with my friend Michael Gingold of Fangoria Magazine, we chatted when I was in NYC, I miss you New York! I told him about how making The Final almost killed me! literally! lol, and Check out The Final at your nearest Theater, I'll be at the Houston one tomorrow at 2pm!

http:...//fangorianews.blogspot.com/2010/02/exclusive-sexy-pics-comments-from-final_01.html

I never thought I would be as busy as I am now, when the year started I had so much time, I was like, wow, hmmm, how about I do a blog, I haven't even had time to get on here now. Which is great, though.

I feel like Feb is the start of the new year for me, not so much Jan. Today I went to the gym, woke up excited about the day, went to the bank, doing 2 chores in a day is a lot for me, tomorrow I want to go for 3 but we'll see.

So good so far, I gave up on the NO COFFEE RULE, um I love coffee I can't help it, & I have a really expensive Italian espresso maker, am I suppose to let the go to waste for a whole year? NO!

I watched Whip It last night, I love that movie, it looks like a lot of fun to make, I can't wait to start working on my movies, that's in a month though, so just recording till then 5 songs down um 9 to go!

Thanks for reading!

xoxo

New Article up :D


YAY, So I've been under wraps about the 2 new projects, I'm working on, I've been wanting it to get heard on these press things I have been doing. But I'm so super excited about both of them. There is more info here: http://geektyrant.com/news/2010/1/26/exclusive-interview-actresssingermodel-julin-vs-brian-s.html

also some exclusive pics and ect. I don't have anything interesting to write, except that I'm 100% well, if you read my old posts, you would know that I had something for a while, took a lot of vitimens and got better.

I had my last cupcake today, OMG Crave Cupcakes are amazing! lol, I started doing lol alot, I have no idea why, I think I got it from one of my friends lol, just kidding lol. Ok I'm going to stop.

So the movie I'm focusing on first is called Cherry Bomb, and I'm playing Cherry! YAY! That's also an old Joan Jett song btw Cherry Bomb, not Cherry, and it's based in the 80's. I'm super excited, I have done a "time based film", I don't know what you would call it, but yeah, most of my stuff has been present time. And I get to kick some A$$. No it's a challenge, I'm more excited about that and working with new people. The other stuff is just fun bonus. Always wanted to be a stripper, make the P's proud lol. :D

So I'm just working out everyday and practing my dance moves, I know, boring to talk about.....hmmmmmmmmmm....

Oh my facebook page was deleted, but that's old news already, I have a new one, but it's not the same :(, I don't know who I had on the list, I miss my photos, but I got some new people looking for the old people so that's kinda cool, it's www.facebook.com/julinjean. It's kinda fun, like I started over, but I'm kinda over facebook now that my page was deleted, it's not the same :/.

I don't put anything personal on there, I don't care who adds me, but I did make a "fan page," I think it's retarded but you can't have a facebook page and talk about your acting, I don't know, I don't get it, so I did it. It's http://www.facebook.com/pages/Julin-Jean/263983632271.

COME ON SUMMER TIME, I'm READY FOR SPRING & WARM WEATHER!


My Movie The Final is coming to Theaters This Jan 29th!

why not have a delcious shake in the morning?

That's what I'm asking myself right now, I was reading this magazine about celebrity diets, and most of them say that they have some kind of shake in the morning.

So this morning/afternoon 3pm. I got some frozen fruit, put it in the blender and filled the soy milk up to match the amount of frozen fruit and voila! It tastes pretty good :D, and I am also having hot decaf coffee with my cold icy shake.


I've been going to sleep at 5 am lately and waking up at 2 :30pm, I don't know why it's ridiculous, my sleep schedule went out of whack when I was sick and napping all the time, now it's just not right, and I have to wake up about 9 am tomorrow to record, so I have to go to sleep early now.

I don't really have any informative things to say on my blog, I'll just talk about what I've learned.

For acting, I audition for everything, even if I think I'm not going to do the role, or the project looks kinda lame, I just do, I audition to practice, and to meet new people, and even if I don't get the part I wanted I might get something else, something better even, in Spirit Camp originally I auditioned for the part of Missy, I thought she was more of the lead, but then I started to want Rachel and found out that she is more of the lead, or in one instance some guy called me a year later to do a different role. So always audition, even if you don't want the part or you look completely wrong for it, you never know, and they might call you for something else.

Also, what I read yesterday is that Carrie Underwood keeps a food journal, it was in the celeb diets thing I was reading, I was thinking of doing that, that way I know exactly where these 5 pounds came from. It's worth a shot right?

HAHA, I gained 5 pounds, it really bothers me, and I know if I just eat right and work out it goes away, but I want it gone asap. Especially before my photo shoot on Sunday and Monday! AH! hehehe :D

I really want to drink regular coffee, like everyday, i'm addicted for sure, but then, every time I look in the mirror my skin looks better and better, and I think it's from not drinking it anymore? I don't know. I've been drinking a lot of tea instead.

So I have a photoshoot with my friend Robert Macready on Monday, this is a pic he took of me before. The new ones are going to exclusives for some promo for some websites :)

Sunday tomorrow marks a year!

So exactly one year ago I was at my friend's wedding in Austin, it was so much fun, really, then the next day I was on a plane to LA, it was kinda crazy and exciting :).

I joined this show that I was mislead to be about something else, and the next 8 days were the weirdest and I met some of the dumbest/selfish people I have ever met in the entertainment industry. I'm not talking about the cast. I'm talking about the crew and production team, someone pointed out to me later that they are like the bottom feeders of the entertainment world. I agree, but I was still stuck there by my contract, I tried to have fun, and make the most of it, just by trying to play the role, but in the end, I really couldn't take it anymore, and had to jet. Of course they don't show any of that on the show but o-well.

So the year coming I had no idea that some of the cast that went through the same thing I did we became really close, close enough for 2 LA trips and 1 vegas trip together, really just 5 of us from the show. Then I think back and think that I shouldn't have taken it so seriously I just didn't know what the F was going on, my acting agent never found out I did it, so that was good :). And I actually made 6 films for last year, which is kinda like a record for me, and I thought my acting career was over! HAHA!

Photobucket

So, it actually wasn't so bad after all, and kinda fun in a goofy way. It's like a gamble those things, you never know how it's going to turn out.

So today marks the day one year. I'm ready to see what this year brings, as soon as I am 100% better, I thought I was but I'm actually not, but was thinking I would go get a coffee and some fruit, go to the gym, and start working on this screen play, I have in mind. It's a romantic sorta comedy drama. It would be amazing if it was picked up by someone, that is the dream then they can pay for my trip to Europe, that is the goal.

:)

muah!

SO HAPPY!

I have been complaining about being sick and blah blah blah, and I'm not anymore!!!

I can do all the things I want, I don't have to lay around the house like a slug.

I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's, I love that movie! I did a photo shoot for it back in the day, and put in on my latest album, Transitions, you get grab the on iTunes, btw, or order it online.

Photobucket


I'm trying to put some pics in, trying to make my blog, a little cuter.

I had an audition the other day, I didn't realize it was for the same casting director that casted me in Mardi Gras, I just thought that she looked familiar.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1083462/

It's suppose to come out in the Summer.

I really need new headshots, my goal is to get them by the beginning of Feb.

I'm recording tomorrow, just cleaning today.

MUah! take it easy,

New title, new subject, ect....

So I decided to kinda quit the blog, it's too personal to talk about my goals for the new years, no effense, but it really is, so I am just going to be doing that for myself, and this one is going to be more about my day to day stuff, it will still be personal just not as much.

So let me just continue,

I have been sick for a while now, and have been taking herbs, resting, I haven't even started working out, I would rather be well first, before I begin, so I got to work on Sunday, and they made us work out in the cold for about 3 hours, it was miserable, and then I went to celebrate my mom's birthday out of town, so my conclusion is, I was almost all the way 100%, but that threw me back a bit, I was pretty upset, I hate being sick, I feel like I can't do anything, and there is so much I want to do.

I started again on my herbs and rested a bunch today, I couldn't sleep again last night and I had an audition this afternoon, I did really good, I want the part but we will see, I don't know if I have the right look that they want, but I did a good read, so we'll see :)

I record tomorrow and I get to work on my newest song hopefully we start that tomorrow, I'm excited.

I watched AVATAR today, it was really good I cried, my dream is to work on something that great one day. That would be amazing.

have a good nite

Oh my Gosh

I can't sleep, so I thought I would get up and do this, I've just been taking it easy and sleeping a lot, taking my herbs trying to get better.

I recorded today, almost done with the new song, I'll post a little youtube thing on here if I can figure it out.

I watched Julie/Julia again today, haha, I love that movie it makes me want to cook, I wonder if I can do it? If I do I would cook my way to Spainish cusine, mmmmm, I love Spain, I love the food the culture, the people, the music, the history, I really want to live there, I was thinking I can just give all this up and make hemp braclets on the side of the street and sell them to get by, live by the beach, drink lots of wine, eat lots of cheese, if you haven't been you really need to go, I have tons of pics on my facebook.com/actressjulin. Maybe I'll post a video on my youtube right now :).

Well, no coffee, no fattening foods, I haven't made it to the gym yet, lol, but if I go the next 5 days in a row I will make my resolution. Let's see if I can sleep first.

My next song I'm writing is about torturing a guy that cheated on you, think it's a bit much? :D, but it's kinda cute in a distrubing way, I can't wait to record it.

So the thing I researched about being healthy, was doing a juice fast, it says that it clears your skin, makes you better if you have the flu or bronchitis, which is what I have, helps you think clearer, gives you lots of energy, all these good things, some people do it for 30 days or more, I was thinking of trying to do it for two weeks, it says that the first three days are the hardest. Here is the link

good nite!

The New Year Is Here and I'm Scared

OMG, I am starting to get that headache you get when you don't drink caffenine like you are used too! because for some strange reason I did not have any yesterday, when it was my last day for the year, I woke up thinking, I'm not going to be able to do this, I wanted to eat everything fattening, and have a bunch of coffee, and I felt like I had little control, almost giving up, but then I thought, man it is my frist day! I can't give up on my first day, I would be really sad because I really want to keep this for the whole year.

Man I am learing to type alot faster having to type every day. That's kinda cool.

So I'm drinking Chai hot tea, because it's the only tea I have that has caffenine, all my other teas are decaf, or no caffenine, I'm on my second cup.

I also had an entire bag of fozen fruit, with mango, papya, and strawberries, it was pretty good, and watched the rest of this movie called, What goes Up with Hiliary Duff, and Oliva Thirby, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0832318/, the acting was really good, I didn't get the point but I kept watching anyways, I think that I was just tired of seeing stupid movies, that I needed something a little more serious. RedBox does not have a lot of options, maybe I will try NetFlix.

I just ate a salad too, I'm suppose to work out today but I think I'll start tomorrow, I think the gym is closed today, and maybe I'm suppose to sleep more I'm very tired, I think I am still getting over being sick.

Don't you hate when you want to do something but you feel so tired, then you go to sleep, and wake up at the time you are suppose to go to sleep, but then you can't sleep anymore?

I do.

What to do? So I made a fan page for this character I played in The Final. It's kinda funny, I was just bored I thought it would be cute, I haven't made it public though, still working on it, but I got bored of that and decided to do this.

Well one day I will learn how to make my page more cute, but I feel like I waste enough time online, just doing this and facebook, and email.

best wishes for the new year!
