Living in Burbank working as and extra on sets since I clearly can't sing, remember the dying cat thing yeah the choir kids never let that down either.  Any who being and extra was fun, when i wasn't at Starbucks working my ass off, I was in some shows or movies it was fabulous.

Trying to live my life. Because being told you'll never make it from your own folks is kind of depressing, so I left home with having  $2500 to my name, sharing a 1 bedroom place with another Starbucks chick as we make it through life, now your probably wondering have I met anyone famous. Well duh I work as an extra, Have I talked to them well um no. Not allows to unless we are told to or they come to us. 

Now not only am I just at one Starbucks, they have me going back and forth between Burbank and Beverly Hills as an opener manager shift until a new one is hired, it's great two totally different places and they give me time and a half.
Life is better for Stacy and I, she goes to law school and works, I work and work, but we now have a two bedroom apartment in Glendale. It's beautiful there we love our area it's quite and beautiful.

On my way to the Beverly Hills store at 3 in the morning I'm always jamming to my Spotify playlist, Neon light just ends as Until it beats no more starts, seriously music just makes everything better. I parked my car and got out,  entered the store through the back, locking it behind myself getting the day ready for the other three to show up in a hour and a half, Chad will be here in 45 minutes 5 min before we open normally  I'm up front for the first 20 minutes until Chad gets already.

Turning on my playlist and heart attack coming on and I start writing down who's at what register and who doing the other stations it's a Sunday will be pretty busy but the first hour and a half  is slow.

Dancing around doing a bit of the robot and singing to work work work by rihanna I hear knocking out the door, I look up and I see some person in a hoodie.  I mouth we are still closed... the stranger put the hoodie down and I had to look twice, I couldn't believe that this person looked like Jennifer Lopez. 

I heard knocking in the back, so I yelled hold on Chad, so I walk to the back unlocked it and as I walked away I  said lock the door behind you. As I walked faster to the front " Hey Sam what gives you okay?" Chad said walking to the back. " You're early  are you feeling alright and Someone's at the front I'm gonna see if they are okay" I said. As I walk to the front I unlocked it and slipped out, "Ummm Hey are you okay?"

She looked up at me "Yeah I'm okay, I know y'all aren't open but I don't wanna come when it's crowd, and I didn't want to send someone to get me a tea" she said chuckling "Has anyone ever told you, you kind of look like Jennifer Lopez are you her?" I said, she smiled "Yes they have and yes i am The Jennifer Lopez" .
