Hi everyone,
So this blog is going to be a little more serious than some of my other blogs. So a little back story; about two years ago my grandpa (we call him "Powie"') was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. For those of you who don't know, Alzheimer's is a disease which essentially makes you gradually forget things. At first, Powie could function like a "normal" person with some minor issues remembering little things like the name of somebody he met the day before. Over time, things got worse and Powie started forgetting what he said the moment before and he wasn't present in conversations. He would say "what?" or "come again?" multiple times when you would tell him something. Alzheimer's doesn't currently have a treatment and it's just really hard to see my grandpa slip away from me with my own eyes... So that's basically what is happening right now. Alzheimer's is a serious disease and completely sucks. Right now Powie is having a hard time walking and struggles to maintain conversations. He has his good days and bad days, but mainly it's just been hard.

Go Panthers!
Hello everybody,
So today I'm going to be talking about who I want to win the Super Bowl. In case you couldn't tell by the title I will be routing for the Carolina Panthers for Super Bowl 50! Some reasons that I will be routing for the Panthers are as follows: I have a lot of family that lives in both South and North Carolina, Cam Newton (the quarterback for the Panthers) was in High School Musical and he invented the dab, and the Panthers are a very lively and fun team to watch. The Super Bowl will be this coming Sunday (Feburary 7th) and the Panthers will be playing the Denver Broncos!
Go Panthers!

Acting
Today I will be talking about the art that I love: acting.
In many ways acting has changed my life. It makes me so much happier and gives me something to look forward to everyday. I've been taking acting classes for a while, and now I'm starting to become a working actor. A working actor is someone that acts for money, they have a "team". This team consists of three people: the Agent, the Manager, and the Actor. The manager's job is to debate contracts, make sure all jobs the actor works is up to standard, etc. In some cases the manager also takes the actor to and from auditions. The agents job is to solely submit their client (the actor) for new roles. The agent and the manager both get about 15%-20% of the actors income, meaning the actor usually only makes 60% of their income..
That's all for now, if you have any questions about acting I'd love to answer them :-)
