This is a bit delayed, but I guess you could say that I'm just angry. Ages ago, back when I wrote the previous blog, I was excited because I received an email that I had gotten into this TV show by Roving Enterprises where I would play a paperboy. All sounded cool. All sounded well. All sounded normal. Until the night before, I receive another email. This one gets me a bit worrysome.

Apparently, it was never a TV show and I don't even know what this mention of Roving Enterprises was about because it has nothing to do with that!

I went to the middle of Brisbane city, Anzac Square to be exact, with my uncomfortable boots on ready to film something. I get there, I get to the middle of Brisbane city, and they're handing out long socks, funny vest things and satchels. I take long socks, I take a funny vest thing, I take a satchel. Then, I collect these newspaper sort of things which I'm supposed to take.

Following this, there's a small introductory meeting. People introduce themselves and they tell everyone what exactly will be going on, and this is what they said. "You will all be handing these newspaper brochures to the people of Brisbane City. This is an advertising venture and the business want to advertise as much as possible."

It's a new online newspaper called brisbanetimes.com.au. It's ridiculous. There's no cameras, no filming, no Roving Enterprises, no television, no nothing!!! It's all ADVERTISING! WALKING AROUND BRISBANE CITY HANDING OUT FLYERS!!! It's showing off our acting skills, they say. Showing it to who? People don't like getting brochures from random people in the street. Especially not when you're dressed as a paperboy.

And so finishes my rant of how angry I am that this once-so-named "Roving Enterprises Television Series" came not to be! I don't know what happened. They all probably hate me and are out to get me. They don't want me in any TV show. So much for getting my name on TV.com

On the plus side, it's the holidays. Hurrah! Celebration! Four days to go, and I haven't done any of my assignments. I've still gotta do my English oral, I've gotta study for a Philosophy exam and I've got camp the first week back and I have to clean all the windows in my huge house because my mum let me rent seven DVD's. Only seven, and I have to clean seven hundred windows. Ridiculous!

Anyway, I'm at least looking forward to the premiere of PIrates of the Caribbean 3 in May. Hope you all have a wonderful week, have a wonderful April, and I hope you had a superb Easter!

 CYA!

Handing out flyers? I can't believe that they did that. They can't do that, it's completely unfair

Good luck with finding on-screen work in the future,

Oh, I feel so sorry for you, having to hand out flyers. I'm sure you were really excited when you thought you were going to get your acting break. Those people are pure evil, I tell ya!

That realy sucks, sorry to hear that happened to you. Unscrupulous so-and-sos.

Aloha!

Sorry about what happened. You should sue, as you were baited into doing something other than the email said.

Anyway, have a wonderful day!

Thanks everyone for your "kind" words and interesting schemes to get revenge. There were people there who apparently had been doing this sort of thing for ages, like this was their career. That is totally weird. I guess they probably weren't ripped off every time they did it.

I was going to go to a Mount Franklin commercial audition on Monday but I can't coz I've gotta go on camp which sux!
