FLAT ROCK!!

                            I know, I know, it's always a great deal of time between updates, and I apologize to those who actually ever check this damned thing, lol. But tomorrow morning I leave for Flat Rock, North Carolina for an apprenticeship at Flat Rock Playhouse. I'm very excited. I finally got my head semi-clear after the end of school, and got a little perspective. Now I feel I'm ready to head out into this summer, get my priorities straight, and learn. I'm extremely anxious to start learning.

                       I want to thank all my friends who continue to always be there for me. Thanks for dealing with me, and for plain and simple being great friends. I don't know what I'd do without you. Anyway, not much else to say. Just wish me luck, and I'll see all of you guys in the fall.

                     I love you all,

                      From Feb. 26, to April 24? Wow, now that is a gap for an update, lol. I have no idea if anyone ever checks this site anymore, and for those that do, I sincerely apologize. I just get so wrapped up in my pathetic excuse for a life that I just dont have time to update anytime between two months, lol.

                 Life is still, life! I went to the Southeastern Theatre Conference in Orlando, and it went well! I was granted an apprenitceship at Flat Rock Playhouse is North Carolina this summer, and that starts May 20, and ends August 19th, so its going to be a great summer I hope. I am very excited actually to be able to get away. I'm really going to try and use this time with a professional theatre company to clear my head of all my distractions, and get my priorites straight. Becase God know, I need to.

                     Its getting close to the end of my first year in college. Only two more weeks of school, and then I will no longer be a Freshman, but an upcoming Sophomore. IN COLLEGE! I never in a million years would have thought that I would say that, but here I am. Lately I've caught myself pondering on this subject. I'll drift into thought, and realize that in little more than a month it will mark an entire year since I Graduated from HIGH SCHOOL!

                       I've changed so much, much more than anytime in my life, in the shortest time in my life. For good and ill both. I'll sometimes think when I'm out with friends at odd hours of the night on WeekNight!; "What am I doing? A year ago my parents would kill me if I did that!" But alas, times change. I do miss High School in someways though. Believe it or not guys, High School is easier! It was a much simpler, more accountable time. I sincerely miss the simplicity. But, what can ya do? Time just keeps moving on!

                                   To all you Etowah Theatre Graduating Seniors! If I dont update again for two months......CONGRATULATIONS!

                                                      Life keeps moving on....

                                                                 I love you all............

WOW! Has it been a while since I updated or what!!!??? I really apologize to all those who actually still check to see if i write, i sincerely apologize, lol. Life's been busy, hectic, eventful, and just life since january 5th indeed.

       Well, to be blunt, life still sucks, lol. My last entry was a day before the first rehearsal for FRONT PAGE, and we just closed the show tonight, lol. How is that for irony, laziness, and a busy lifestyle? Anyway, thats how life goes.  Rehearsals went very well, it was an extremely quick show compared to DROOD, no doubt about that, lol. I learned so much from this show, and I am better for being in it i know that, lol. We had a great run, with many eventful performances...lol...but a wonderful cast and crew made this show an exceptional one. YAY! Two GTA shows under my belt! lol

         Life is still confusing and harsh for me. My heart still hurts everyday, and my lifestyle and choices dont really help that probably. Gotta get focused thats for sure. Sometimes I really just dont know what im doing, im just kind of following my feelings, for good or ill...lol.

                I guess to end, I'll just say how much I miss all of you guys, and I hope to see you all soon! Hope of all of you ETOWAHIANS enjoyed your Feb. week break, damn you ALL!! lol, I love you guys! Im going to the South Eastern Theatre Conference on Wed. in Orlando, yay! Hopefully with the help of my peers, and my director I can network some audtions, since I dont have a freaking number! DAMN YOU JUDGES!!! lol

                  Finally, just want to say I hope all of you are doing well, and a word of advice. Focus on the important things in life. If you dont, all this other crap clings on tou your heart and mind...and believe me...you don't want that, lol. I miss and love you all!

                                              Love,

Back to reality!

     That's right im back in the old apartment. Very lonely here, but I shall make the best of it. Just got done with my first class a few mins. ago. Survey of Western Civilizations, fun!! Anyway, I'm hoping that it shall be an enjoyable class.

     FRONT PAGE rehearsals start tonight, yay!! Finally, something to keep me busy, and get my mind off of things. This show is going to be a killer. We only have like a 5 week rehearsal schedule, and the lines are extremely hard to memorize, which is usually never a problem for me, but the way the dialogue is written is exrememly difficult. But I shall prevail!!

     Anyway, college has started back again, a fresh start to everything I guess. I just have to go into it tactfully, intelligently, and make this semester end better than the last, lol. Hope everyone is doing well, and I love you all!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

MAY YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT BEGINNING, MIDDLE AND END TO THIS YEAR!

I LOVE YOU ALL!
