I know it's going to sound crazy and totally impossible, but I would like to give acting and writing one more shot. I've been holding off those dreams for years due to budget constraints, working a minimum wage job with a 401k plan, paying my parents rent while living under their roof, being on Social Security Income, and lack of real connections and networking. I would like to work with Kevin Kittridge, Scott Sebring, Bob Kitsch, and Valerie Perez with improv and writing skits that are comic book and science fiction related.

I would still like to do a podcast with close friends and friends on FB to talk about subjects I love to talk about such as pro wrestling, football, movies, hard rock/heavy metal music, television, comic books, and beer. I'm only 32 going on 33 so I'm not getting any younger and I would like to someday live out my dream to meet and possibly work with celebrities and people I want to work with as opposed to not work with. It's going to take a whole lot of patience and time to achieve my dream. I may not have a driver's license, but I do have the heart, mind, and will to make things happen.

Sometime around August, I'm thinking about saving money so I can live out my dream to become a huge public figure and role model for people who have been told many times you can't do it but never gave up. I like to be on shows like Radiodrome with Josh Hadley, Cecil Trachenburg, Alex Jowski, and Petar Gagic and Geek Juice Media despite my mild autism since I have superior knowledge of film, television, and pop music. I want to be the guy that at least tried to make things happen while working to make it happen.

Thank you for your support and I'll do whatever it takes to achieve my dream.

Are there community theatres in your area? Many of them have acting and writing workshops which lead to getting cast or hired. Community colleges also have great theatre departments which, for large productions often look beyond the student body for actors. They are great places to start out. And, watch for open-mic nights.
