Blogger sucks!

I'm on WordPress now. Its userface is much friendlier and there's no AdSense. AdSense suck beyond words by the way.

You can now follow me @ http://victorsantoro.wordpress.com/

This will be my final post here. Bye Blogger! You suck! :D

Body painting night!

I think I need to get out more no? My natural tan seems to be fading away...

I think Lisa agrees!

Here we see Danielle Huard, art director for the movie 300, applying a light touch of mascara, while my guardian angel oversees the work ;-)

Her name's Iza, and she's actually really nice! Goes to show you you can't judge a book by its cover!

She's a little camera shy though!

Just like me ;-)

But we're quite the duo together!

Seriously...Thank you all you crazy mofos! I really had a wicked time saturday night! I can't wait to do it again! But I'm probably gonna bring a thermos full of hot chocolate or something next time! I froze my ass off lol!

Everything's gonna be A-Ok!

So last week I had a really important audition. It was for a role in a Canadian TV series. Basically the most important audition I had ever been to. I made a couple of missteps along the way and as a result I didn't land the role. I felt depressed for 2 whole days afterwards!

Today I realize how utterly silly I was! The audition process was an important learning experience for me! I'm now working to correct the mistakes I made in order to improve my chances to land a role later on. What happened is that I let my dreams sabotage the present moment. I got my hopes up disproportionately, and as a result the low that came with the sudden dose of reality hit really hard. That's what happens when you let your ego take control of your thoughts and emotions folks!

Yesterday I got back on another set, as an extra. It felt good, real good! It's been a slow winter here in Montreal for tv and film productions and just being on a set and meeting an old friend as well as making new ones made a World of difference to me! Thanks for your love and support guys!

Marriage is so gay!

A little while ago I got the honour of modelling for a very good cause! The shoot for Marriage is so gay was awesome, and we all had a great time! I'm really proud to have been part of this project! Thanks to everyone involved! Let me know what you think!

And hey...I'm turning 30 today! Yikes! :O

Charlie's Angles

So my life partner finally finished editing some shots from Charlemagne's photoshoot! In case you're wondering, yes, that his his real name. And yes, I totally wish my name was half as cool haha!

I wish I looked half as cool too!

I wish I had a killer smile like that too! Ok, I'm not talking to you anymore Charlie ;-)

Taking notes

Back in 2006 I had this vague sensation of worthlessness. I couldn't quite put it into words back then but it was there. No matter how much education or life experiences I had been through, I had this feeling that I didn't have anything of value to share with anyone.

Then this organization called Cybercap called upon me to act as a supervisor for 3 teenagers who had won a multimedia contest. We spent a week in Mont-Tremblant. At one point, one of the guys asked me a question about photography bcause he was figuring out his brand new digital camera. I started explaining to him the technicalities of digital photography and then something happened that taught me something...One of them started taking notes!

I had something to share after all. So next time you think you have nothing to give to anyone, you might want to think again. :)

Here's my Secret...

I'm sure you've heard of The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne, by now. If you're like me you've tried thinking positive no matter what happens, hoping against all hope that Magical Thinking will come through for you. Because you're special.

And if you're like me you've grown up since then. You've seen firsthand that thinking positive alone will not magically solve all your problems and it will not do your dishes for you while you're away.

That's the bad news.

The good news is that I know why.

It's quite simple. Ask yourself a question: Who are you serving? If you're like most modern people your answer will be "Myself". If you're religious or maybe spiritual your answer might be "God" or "Allah" or "Yawhe" or "Zeus"...You get the idea. In both cases you'll end up serving no one.

If you really want The Law of Attraction to work for you your answer has to be "Everyone". You are serving everyone, including yourself. And it's true. Your mere presence is serving mankind as well as all other forms of life. You just might not know it yet. And not knowing that simple fact might lead you to turn yourself away from your true path. But I digress...I don't like getting preachy.

If you want The Law of Attraction(and Life itself) to work for you, you must work for Life itself. There's a much better book out there, by Deepak Chopra, called The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success, that shows you the 7 Laws the Universe works with. And it's all true. I know it because I live it. The Law of Attraction just happens to be one of those Laws.

I've made a list of all 7 Laws.

1. The Law of Pure Potential.

2. The Law of Giving.

3. The Law of Karma or Cause and Effect.

4. The Law of Least Effort.

5. The Law of Intention and Desire (otherwise known as the Law of Attraction).

6. The Law of Detachment.

7. The Law of Dharma (Life's goal).

I won't go describing each Law individually since Dr. Chopra does it so much better than me. I wholeheartedly recommend getting his book. You can even read it online.

Thank you for reading.
