Chick Magnets OFFICIAL TRAILER

Been A While

Goals smoles.  Did a bunch of them but I don't want my blog to get too cluttered with that kind of stuff.  So in the last few months, I have accomplished a LOT!!  Some of my set goals and some other things as well.  I went to the Solo/Ensemble festival with the Madrigals and we qualified for State, and also my solo, which is a German piece; Johannes Brahm's Op. 52 Liebeslieder Waltzes Mvt. 17, was judged and given a rating of 1 at the competition (which is good), so I'm going to State with that as well.  Aside from that, my head shots finally arrived and just today I interviewed with an agency :] :] Andddddddd I knocked em' dead!! :]
  Next up.........Oh yeah!  I wrote a Play!  Random right??  No.  I wrote a One Act play to submit to be used in the Student Directed One Acts...,,and it was accepted, I am the director, and I have an AMAZING cast :]  I'll include a few inserts from the script at the end, along with my head shot that I mentioned :]
  So I just noticed my old goal list and one of the goals listed was 'Tennis team'... well sad to say I didn't even try out... except not very sad, because I got involved with a Rugby team instead!!!! I have been playing for the Skyline Varsity Rugby team for a few weeks now, and it is SOOOO fun!  Its nice to get physically active for once instead of JUST emotionally active with acting..  So I'll keep you updated on games and such as we get further into our season.
So in conclusion Everything is grrreat.  Things are getting done and I am very very happy.... which reminds me of one last thing.. I have been dating this really incredible girl for the last couple weeks now, and wellllll she just makes me really happy :]  So that is that.  I'll keep more updates going.

"...Now it is all in place, the hard part is through, its all looking up, because they’ve found each other.  With such pure intent, pure emotion; their love will continue to grow, and in the coming days it will stand as a shining beacon, lighting up, their once darkened road.  They have found each other.  Their days fly by now.  In each passing moment, more comfort is found in the house that their love is building for them.  Smiles, day dreams, and butterflies: they are falling for each other."

"...No person is perfect… But every person is perfect for someone."

"...I am backed into a corner, as he slowly staggers nearer to me.  I am paralyzed, feeling his eyes slither over my body, watching his hands slowly reach out seeking to devour me, all to satisfy his lustful hunger.  Can’t she feel that this is wrong?  Is this abyss that separates her and me so great that she can’t sense the darkness that sets in when he is near?  That she can’t hear me screaming as he uses his puppet to get closer to her?  I want her back.  I want more than anything to hold her in my arms, to have her see me, actually look me in the eyes and listen when I say, that she is following the darkest impulses of her nature.  The most incredible power that we possess as humans is the ability to love, and I want to scream at her that she is throwing it away.  I need her to know that I can’t feel her anymore.  She can’t feel me anymore.  I want her back.  I need her back..."

Update... Doing Well

A couple weeks ago I posted an entry about some goals that I had set and was working towards.

• Make it into the Straight Play........................CHECK :]
• Receive Royalty for the Christmas Dance......CHECK :]
• Make it into the Talent Show........................No Check :[  But I learned a great song still :]
• Get the BIG Solo in Acap.............................CHECK :]
• Choose a piece and start for Ensemble..........CHECK :]

So there is the results of a month of work :]  I am very happy with it, considering I set the bar high.  A lot of those goals were BIG things, and quite the blessing to achieve.
Now I need to set a new list of goals......  A bit longer term though

• Start Basketball Practices and go undefeated this season
• Start Tennis back up and try-out for the team
• Start running more often and proceed to join track
• Make up the deficient credits for Graduation
• Memorize You Can't Take It With You lines

There they are.  I'll let you know!!

Looming

Stopping where I usually do while on a run today, I sat to look over the valley.  Kind of surprising to see that the thick smog blanket that usually looms over the northern city was gone.  The winds that flushed through the night must have swept it up, leaving a clear blue horizon.  It was very serene, but far in the distance I could see the billowing smoke from the northern refineries, and the beauty suddenly felt empty and grossly temporary.

* * * * *

I stop everything for a moment.  With a glance back to time before I fully understand the progress I have been making.  A recent storm has flushed through me and with it, the looming layer of darkness that resided within me was taken, giving leeway to let productivity and optimism ensue once more.  The moment is tranquil, but I feel those thoughts seeping slowly in, knowing her shackles will soon bind me once more.

Options A and B

This next passage is an excerpt from a journal entry I made a little more than a year ago.

* * * * *

...Take a situation where two options are to be chosen from; A and B.  Option A is the normal action, it is well-known, stays the same, very consistent and predictable.  Option B on the other hand, is unpredictable and proposes a risk by its unknown results; it could end up better, stay the same, or become worse.  The clock is ticking.  Now to choose Option B, would that show signs of courage and fearlessness or does choosing Option B resemble carelessness and stupidity.  In the case of choosing Option B and ending up with a negative result, compared to Option A, the variable, was the choice bad?  You might say yes it was bad, but if the results had come out positive and better than the variable, would it be a bad choice then?  A person grows from trials and victories, so to hover in between the two with an ever steady result, aren't you hindering yourself from harvesting richer results long term?  Whether the results are good or bad for Option B it is different, unique, a ripple in the line of normality.  Option A certainly is not an unhealthy decision, but I found myself being a strict Option A kind of person.  Resulting from that sure I was happy but there was nothing unique or different to help me grow and make decisions for myself through.  Think about the important decisions in  your life; career, marriage, college, kids etc.  Of these very large mile stones in a person's life ALL are Option B decisions.  To be an Actor or an Author will take you through a tremendous amount of Option B gates.  The ENTIRE concept of love can only happen vicariously Option B decisions.    The ENTIRE concept of faith revolves around Option B.  To truly be unique, different, and special as an individual, you MUST feed on the trail of taking Option B.

So which kind of person are you?  How often do you consciously take the Option A route?  When are you going to start changing things for the better FOR yourself?

Option B
