Happy Holiday weekend

Ya baby. Nothing better than a holiday weekend! Its been a great week.  I worked all week.  Several auditions, one call back, a few auditions that I could not attend because I had conflicts with other auditions and an audition scheduled to land an under 5 on a soap next week.  I have also been busy setting up meetings back in NYC for the latter part of JUNE while I am there.  I have am focused with a mindset that is undeterred by anything...what that means???

ITS ON just watch and see...

I will be making good on on all promises and claims! 

and the wheels on the bus go...

round and round, I can believe its really about to be friday already!!!! I hope you all had a good wekk and are looking at an even better weekend...

fast forward to 18:34 and I will be on! Good interview on The Gregory Mantell Show

Only a few days off

Ok so I was on a role but the good news is I have been getting things in order.  I started painting again and spent the better part of today doing so and then the last few hours sorting out all old pics and updating the portfolio only to realize I need to do a shoot to update my portfolio hahahaha.  In the best shape of my life and best suited to do some real damage in the modeling game so one more TFP shoot is a small price to pay...so anyone out there that knows a good photographer that needs some shots for their book tell em to give your boy Johnny Sal a call.

Hope your all well

back-to-back

Ya thats right, back to back days posting...and its FRIDAY!!!! Todays agenda: runyon 2 times up and down with clients then the gym, then a much needed car wash and some finishing touches a few work related tasks.  Then HAPPY HOUR! Have a great one friends

Not too bad...

So I know it wasn't yesterday but 2 blogs within 3 days is off to a good start.   What do you think? So its Thursday already??? Really?  Ok, its been a pretty productive week and is shaping up to be a strong finish to the month!

Fortitude: the strive for excellence; to live with excellence in your heart,  to persevere against all odds obstacles opponents! To deny the animal instinct that is in you is to waste a great gift.

If you find yourself stressed remember its the weekend...

In work related news, the IT work in terms of my website overhaul my training website TerrainAnywhere.com is coming along well and should be done in the near future.

Be well friends!

Its been way too long

How about this for an old old pic.  THis is the morning I decided to really get serious w/ my career.

Ok so its been a month since I sat down and caught everyone up...my apologies.  Especially to Tack & Z my ture boys, hahahaha.  Well its been an eventful month.  IN the course of the last few weeks, I have been out on several auditions done some daytime work with All My Children and move to Venice.  Thats a quick over view on the month.  I am spending today getting all caught up on IT work and wth any bit of luck will be all finished in time to go train at the beach before going to Hollywood to train a few clients.  Now that I am situated these will be more frequent.  I am not going to go as far as daily but thats the goal.  Wish me luck.

Rain baby rain

2 for 2, lets here it for me back to back days posting blogs, am I on a roll?  Let us hope so.  1st, a very special shout-out to my cousin Danielle congrats on the laptop cuz! Also, hello to any directors/producers looking at this in hopes of bringing me on to work on your project.  As you can see the site is under construction, but coming along nicely.  As for the pics, most of them are good and current some are from a while ago, and my web designer just grabbed pics you could find and put them up to hold the place for future shots to be added.  Either way, I hope you like what you see and to see you soon.  As for the rest of you friends, fans and anyone that stumbled onto the page...how Thursday treated you well and Friday looks promising. If it doesn't, well Saturday is around the corner! Or  maybe even Friday night! TTY manana!

Hump Day once again

Hey Hey hey, how's everyone doing?  I know I said I was going to get to this everyday, but man I have been busy, but I am making a midweek resolution, everyday from now on.  So went on those auditions, and I am happy to say they went well.  I am taping a commercial on Sunday and waiting on a callback for another commercial thats scheduled to shoot next Thursday and that one is going to be a good time so keep the fingers crossed.  I trekked through the rain today to attend 2 open calls to modeling agencies, one maybe and pass.  Hey if I bat 500 I will be a successful man! (YES RAIN IN SOCAL all week I might add, but its cool, I like the rain especially since it will be another year since it happens again).

In other news, T-1 week till my 1 year anniversary of living in Los Angeles.  Thanks for tuning in, talk to you tomorrow.

Hump Day come and gone

Hello all I know, the first week back to blogging and I missed a day already...the good news is it was because I was getting work done all day.  Between looking for a bartending job (an actors life line) and doing some writing and a great nap yesterday was a good day.  That being said I have been at it since I got out of bed this AM starting with some business calls & emails and scheduling auditions for Sat. as well as monday.  Monday's audition is going to be a fun one as I am going to finally break into the stand-up comedy game, now all I have to do is write some jokes...um...ya anyone want to help with that??? We all know I can make people laugh and come up with some funny sh#$ on the fly but will other people think its funny? Problem is it wont be in front of a live audience because then I would just get them involved to save me...so lets hope I dont need saving!! I hope your all having a good week, and if your not, hey...tomorrow is FRIDAY!!! Cheers!

Tuesday in SOCAL

What's up everyone, another day in the books.  Yesterday was a long day on set working on All My Children, but still a pretty smooth day; It felt good to be back to work again.  Today's shoot was nice and quick was out by lunch-just in time to get a workout in at Rose Bowl and enjoy a beautiful day.  I just got done submitting to some jobs so keep your fingers crossed.  It turns out I have to post videos on youtube and then link them to this blog so thats on tomorrow agenda...so stay tuned.

(Little shout-out to the boys with the pic from SOBE!-Nice shirt Bots)

Monday... Monday...

Good morning everyone, and happy Monday.  Those of you at work already, I hope you had a smooth commute.  Those of you that are less than happy to be at work, your not alone.  I kept my weekend pretty low-key and recharged the batteries after two and a half weeks traveling for the holidays.  I took a nice drive up the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway for those that aren't familiar) and checked out Malibu Country Club and played ( holes testing out my new clubs before watching that crazy BCS Championship.  The weekend was pretty chill, worked-out at a gym by the beach and then hung there to take in a nice sunset~some of you are probably like "who is this guy" and yes it was a little different than the weekends of pool parties and crazy nights out that you cant remember much of, but sometimes a little R & R can go a long way.  At least that is what I am hoping because I am looking at a big week that includes a few auditions and getting back to work with All My Children now that they have moved here to LA.  Officer Simoneli reporting for duty.  I will keep you posted on what day the episodes will air.  Maybe one of you can remind me to watch it because believe it or not I always miss when I am on TV hahahaha.  I will be including videos to these posts just as soon as I figure out how to and then all you Westchester boys can get a good laugh and get the email chimes ring on the blackberries cracking jokes, but thats alright I am here to amuse you! Have a great day everyone.

He's BACK!!!

 

Hello everyone its good to be back in commission.  I had a brief break of postings after a strong start.  I have been hard at work honing my craft and my body for the last several months getting ready for 2010! I am happy to report that I am ready to make this the year more people are familiar with my face and know my name.  My posts will be personal thoughts, what's going on with me and my career and anything I find amusing or interesting.  My actual website is still under construction.  A very special thank you to Michael Baumann for hooking me up with all these great tools to create my site, now if I only knew how to use them.  Quick piece of advice for anyone still in or about to go to college~if you dont know what you want to do, take computer classes!! They will pay dividends I promise.  If your out of work and dont know what to do with yourselves...same advice! HTML and all the rest of it for us non-computer savy people is tough!  Anyway, it will be all set up and looking even better than ever within a few weeks.  In the meantime its up and running and functional.

Thank you to all of you that have made www.johnsalutare.com your homepage.  I sincerely appreciate it.  Hello the boys back home~good visit...start the countdown to VEGAS BABY! And to the rest of my non-animal friends it was great seeing all of you and for those of you I didnt see, i wish I had but as you all know holidays and short visits make it rough to get everything in...I guess you will just have to come visit LA...so you know its 75 degrees and sunny here!

Ciao for now,

Johnny Sal

Almost done...

Hello everyone, I am happy to report that I am aggressively working on my portfolio and I am very happy with the progress made this week especially.  This picture is a taste of what's to come. I am currently shooting a calendar and portfolio shot with a very talented photographer by the name of Scott Byrne.  We have collaborated to make some amazing shots and I look forward to your seeing our finished portfolio.  I plan on having my website polished and ready for viewing a week on my birthday August 4th.  I look forward to all of your feedback and thank you to all of you who have supported me thus far.

Homeward Bound

It has been an eventful few weeks.  I am happy to report that things are moving right along and falling into place nicely.  I have officially lived in LA for 5 months.  I am happy with what I have accomplished thus far.  I am taking a quick trip back to NYC to see the family and friends and get some R & R, but I am coming back home to LA with vengeance!!  You heard it hear first July is going to be an eventful month with a lot of the leg-work that has been done to this point coming to fruition.  So as always stay tuned...
