Nice Work If You Can Get It

So I am now employed!!!!!! Yay! I am a summer camp teacher at a a day care in Newnan...yay All Stars Academy! I have only worked three days...this week will be my first full week....(insert excitement and nerves here.) Last week was my like training period so i didn't hev the kids by myself...this week i think i will. I am already in love with my group of kids....however high strung they can be at times...individually they are very sweet! Plus I already have a fave....he is adorable and attached himself to me from day one an d he is the nicest kid ever.

In addition to work I am also working on Snoopy! Which it is going really well...i am slightly behind everyone else in lines and solos but by the end of this week i hope to have caught up. I love the show. Our directors are great and the cast is superb. I am working with great people and we really mesh well! I can't wait till we open this show is going to kick butt!

aside from all that the downside is I want to leave home so bad. I am on edge with my parents about every little thing while i have done a few things to get under their skin I feel they are still traeting me like a child.....HELLO! I TURN TWENTY IN FIVE MONTHS AS OF TOMORROW!!!!! I FOR SURE AM NOT A CHILD!!!!! BACK OFF!!!!!!
I also am missing columbus and my college friends i plan on hanging out with a few in the next few weeks though so it might take my mind off the missing.

Well that is a brief update...if you read this and i know you...just wanna say i miss you oodles and think you should call or text me soon cause i am bored stiff at home!

Stranger in this World

So I have met this really amazing guy, he is absolutly fantastic....we are almost the same person except for two factors...we look nothing alike and he is BRITISH! Like he lives there and everything! He is a triple threat by theatre standards and he works as an assistant dance instructor. He is the most adorable guy you could get to know. And he is a generally sweet guy who makes sure you feel great about yourself... lol. I hope one day to meet him in person cause he is really awesome and has become a great friend thus far!

Craig you are fantastically amazing!

Being Alive

So today was kinda chill. I went to class, had lunch, and went to class again. Now i am here at the computer again.

Ironically all of my friends have been uber poetic lately on their blogs so i thought i should be too. But sadly as i sit here and try to be poetic and inspirational in my thoughts, they just won't flow...at all.

Life is good...except i scared the crap out of my mom unintentionally last night. so as you all know i am in Snoopy the musical...well...i had rehearsal last night back home so i had to drive from Columbus to Fairburn (not actually home but within 30 miles). It is about an hour and fifteen minute drive and because of traffic it was about an hour and a half drive to get there. Well coming back...at 9PM mind you....there was a little traffic till i got to I-185....then it dies after like 9 and there is no one on 185. So the traffic once again added fifteen minutes to my travel time which is usually about an hour and fifteen, but since there was virually no one but me on 185 i decided to drive about 50 miles per hour down the interstate...to conserve gas. Well I blare my music and apparently my mom tried to call me around 10:40 to see where i was and why i wasn't back so of course i didn't answer. So i finally pull in to the parking deck at 11....i left at 9....2 hours later...I call mom back dad picks up and i tell him i am back in C-Town so he then says mom wants to talk to you. CRAP! She picks up whimpering and sobbing..."Where have you been are you ok i was so worried I thought you were dead!"...had to calm her down then i got pissed off cause she was like if you were gonna be late you should have called...i call every time i leave to head home people...and she hates when i talk on my cell phone when i drive...never thought she would have a panic attack for me being thirty minutes late from rehearsal when I was trying to be a safe and responsible driver.

GO FIGURE!

Well now that i have bored you with my ordeals of last night I am gonna sign of until later!

Bye everyone!

The World According To Snoopy!

So hey guys it has been a while since i posted last, almost five months i think....gah! Welll life this past semester at college has both been joyous and uber stressfull at the same time. I had the honor of getting cast in two productions: one, my friends freestage Breakfast for Three, and two, the one act Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Momma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' so Sad. They were both two of the greatest experiences i have had this year at CSU. Now i am working on my freestage for next year and if you read this and are at CSU pleasee come audition!

This has also been a rough semester for those of us at CSU. Between having your dorms pelted with tornadoes for numerous weekends too losing a person really dear to you it was a long final two months.

But every dark cloud has a silver lineing because durning the last week of classes i auditioned for a show back home and got cast in a leading role....my first leading role. I auditioned for a small community theatre production of Snoopy! the Musical and i got cast as Charlie Brown. While Snoopy is the star i am right behind him. I even have my own solo where i am alone on stage....nervous...yes i am...but excited too. I am also excited about this cast. While i have worked with most of them before, we have many new comers to this community theatre. In fact other than three of us in the main cast the others are all new to Southside. And they are uber awesome and nice people. Our ensemble though i haven't heard them sing or seen them dance yet i know are gonna be great and might possibly steal the show at times. So once again if you know me and are reading this come see it cause it is going to be a fantastic show......and if you get in good with me there might be a comp ticket in it for you....lol!

I am also uber excited about SUMMER! I get to go to Miami in three weeks! I haven't been to the beach in what feels like two years. It will be nice just to chill with my family for a week without having to worry about school or work.....yes i will be working this summer....grrrrr....but money is a great plus side to it! But i am really excited cause my parents are goin to drive us down to the Keys for a day...maybe two....one can beg and plead!

Well there is alot more i could say but i am pressed for time so i love you guys and hope...if you are out already.....you are having a great summer thus far.....or if you are like me have three more weeks......when summer comes you have a great one!

Bye for now

back home!

Christmas break was way too long for my taste i missed my friends from college but enjoyed the time i had with my friends back home.Luckily i got to go and visit somew of m y college buds i n Augusta. A Crazy Night of Apples to Apples and good food and Spud Guns! I wouldn't trade my friends for anything!

I got back to school about three days early because i had a required meeting in my department the Friday before classes started. So now i am back at school and having a ball! Our first show of the season opens tomorrow and it is going to be fantastic!

Well that is all for now people! TTYL!

Can't Be Bothered Now

Well as of last night my stress levels reached a new high because i had two major paper to type. I even had to skip a class to get one of them done. Next week is is the week before finals. And then Finals. Stressed much? Definitely!
On the bright side though I got in a directing scene and my best friend in the whole word is coming for a weekend visit next weekend! I also have a bunch of event to attend this weekend! Another plus was the fact i got to spend alot of the earlier part of the week with my Robin and Jamie and Megan [Houskat!] Baking a shmolrgasboazrd of cookies! Fun times in 3B!!!!!!!!! Who knows what the weekend will bring? We`shall see! Bye for now!

The Transylvania Mania (not really just Washington State really)

Ok so i went with a butt load of people last night to see TWILIGHT! It was awesome and a great ending to a pretty great day and the start of a great weekend.

I know i haven't posted in quite a while. Life is really great. Been spending alot of time with my friends and busy doing tech work on shows here at college, yahoo!

I was very privileged to get to see my friends in their production of Mulan Jr. a few weeks ago. It was a great show and i had a great time with them at Season Tickets after the show. Sometimes i go home and feel like i never really left. But at the same time i am having a great time with my friends, i am missing my friends back at school. Sorry guys if you are my hometown friends who are reading this but it happens when you make new friends that are far away when you go home.

Robin and i have been haveing a lot of fun nights together from watching Desperate Housewives to eating 2 boxes of Mac and chesse out of a pot while watching her high school production of Grease...lol. Good Times. Then there is my dear Ma'ayan, who watches a movie with me almost everyday (not lately though she is too busy for me anymore...tear tear)

College is one of the best experiences of my life and CSU is now my home away from home and I love Columbus. I love it here.

This semester is almost over and it has just flown by. It has been a semester i will never forget.

What I've Been Looking For

I sit at the window,
Watching the passers-by
In a subconscious fashion,
Expecting someone to stop and say Hello.

Just a nod of notice
Or a glance
From someone, anyone.
It's just a hit or miss.

Tons walk by
One after another
Minute by minute,
A girl, then guy.

Someone takes my gaze away
From in front of me
Past the people there to
Across the street and there they stay.

Eyes meet and time slows
A hand raisesand moves to and fro
I smile, they smile, we smile.
A relationship grows.

I return the favor,
I raise my hand.
It sways back and forth.
A friendship I will savor.

Our hands stop,
Simles still intact.
Our eyes locked,
But hands drop.

They start to move,
Eyes still joined,
And soon the throng
Begins to move.

Time starts again,
Our chance meeting ceased,
But friendships last.
A moment for gain.

Now, a time to save,
A day fulfilled
Sitting at the window
Waiting for the Wave.

A Lot of livin' to Do

Well people i know it has been a while. I am now a busy college student who had honestly forgotten about his blog until earlier today.

Well my life is now pretty much going, going, gone 24/7. Every day brings on a new and exciting adventure. Whether i am in class, chilling in Jamie's room, going to RA events, or just doing random stuff with Robin, Janine, Cory, Megan, Doug, and Laura. (speaking of which i am doing the latter currently, in fact i am typing this on Janine's computer.)

Well for those who are worried if i am enjoying myself....I am lovin life, and having a blast. There is so much to do you just have to find it!

Life is good, my friends are the bomb, and i couldn't be happier!

So that is a quick update of the life of me!
