A lot of Seth&#8217;s characters remind me of myself in different ways, and more importantly it reminds me that I used to want to try acting. It&#8217;s one of those random thoughts that sits in the back of your mind, but I&#8217;ve not ever had the impetus to really try anything.<\/p>\n<p>I want to think Seth Rogen is like me. I&#8217;m a sensitive guy with an often but not always dirty sense of humor and I have no shame. Maybe that&#8217;s not a fair description of either of us, but bear with me. He&#8217;s only a year older than me and while he has a list of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0736622\/\">writing credits<\/a> that I certainly don&#8217;t, I can somehow identify with him and it makes me want to be an actor.<\/p>\n<p>Last night I had a great time pretending to be Wario, and I feel like I was able to stay in character despite heavy drinking and annoying everyone around me. If I can be Wario, I can probably be someone else too!<\/p>\n<p>So, maybe something like improv classes might be in my future as <a href=\"http:\/\/clararaubertas.net\/\">Clara<\/a> suggested earlier tonight. Or maybe I can continue with unrealized and probably unrealistic dreams \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw Zack and Miri Make a Porno today, and while I&#8217;ve always been a fan of Kevin Smith, I realized I am now more a fan of Seth Rogen.
