done,

September 13th, 2007

was the last time i posted anything. since then i have successfully closed a show and immediately opened another. this time i'm working backstage, taking on the role of the assisstant stage manager. so far it's been hurry up and do this so you can then sit for two hours. The Visit (the show i acted in) went really well, my friends got nominated for a scholarship and i'm really proud for them. now, i am busy working on a show called Fuddy Meers. it is so funny, a little vulgar at times, but then again what contemporary, comedic theatre now-a-days isn't? i also have a paper due in a week for my theatre history class, and i somehow swindled my way into writing it about a musician named Devendra Banhart (check him out, he's a ood folk artist). i am starting a new project with my friend Evan. we're writing songs and recording stuff, and seeing where it takes us. i know this is like the 18th band i'm in that i've blogged about, but i think i found someone who i enjoy playing music with and has the same drive and passion as i do. oh, and we need a name, so suggestions should follow.

oh, i'm going back home the next two weekends to lead worship at FPC, so pray for focus and that our worship would be His delight.

SCT and other things...

so i'm siked that sammy carmike trio is back in the studio, and we have a website on the way. that's right, a website. i'm going home this weekend to sing at Keith's ordination, which is weird because i've been there since the beginning of his seminary, and now, not only is it over, but he's actually a pastor. on top of all that, he's having a baby girl (whom we think should be named Mint or Asparagus). oh well, that's it for now.

well, update already

since my last post i have succesfully changed my monologue before auditions and landed the biggest role of my life to date. so, life's going well. we (fpc marietta) leave tomorrow for sharp top, and i couldn't be more excited. some mishaps has come up though. one of my fellow actors is sick. i personally do not know what this means as of right now, but we'll find out if we need to pick up and move on or just carry on as normal. big weekend this weekend.

my show at CSU's information:

Title: The Visit
Playwright: Friedrich Durrenmatt
SHOW DATES: Nov. 15-17 @ 7:30 PM and Nov. 18 @ 2:00 PM
Location: CSU's Theatre on the Park Mainstage

so...

i've moved into my new apartment, and when i say new, i mean NEW. it still smells like caulking and the fridge actually keeps things cold! school has yet to start, and besides the fact that i have a pretty tough schedule, i think it's going to be fun. i'm taking a lot of theatre classes to (hopefully) hone my craft and make my way up the ladder in the department. speaking of which, auditions are thursday (tomorrow) and i just picked out a monologue, fun right? let's see how far I get without looking in the book.

"You want to know how low I've sunk? I didn't even speak to Edith. I made a phone call pretending to talk to her to scare the Edith and Karen in my head out of here... I tricked myself, i fell for it... the thing about going crazy is that it makes you incredibly smart, in a dumb sort of way. But I do feel like I'm loosing a grip on my life. As if I'm spiraling downward in diminishing circles like water being drained from a bathtub and sudden;y my big toe gets sucked in and I'm left screaming for my life... No. Not my life, my mother. Why, tell me why is it always your mother? It's never your father or your uncle or your second cousin from Detroit..."

there's more, but i don't know it quite yet. i don't even think the part i wrote down is correct, so a little prayer for some focus would be nice. other than that i guess some prayer that i could get back into the sming of things would be helpful as well.

that's it for now, hopefully i'll start posting more regularly.

p.s.
sing in your car, it's freeing.

song...

last blog kinda set the scene for this song:

"Babe"

All the love we shared, you can have it back
'Cause now it don't mean jack to me anymore
Take back your pretty hair and your big green eyes
'Cause they have all but lost the love you used to have for me

(All of you)
I want all of you
(None of me)
But you want none of me
So, I guess I'll leave you alone

Make me out to be the victim
Make me out to be the one who's hurt (x2)

So dump your weight on him, 'cause it's rolled off my back
I hope he's got a knack for talking like the way we did
One day I'll move one, and you'll be in my past
Wishing that the "us" we had could've had a chance to last

(All of you)
I want all of you
(None of me)
But you want none of me
So, I guess I'll leave you alone

Make me out to be the victim
Make me out to be the one who's hurt (x2)

I'll never call you babe again, I won't even call you friend

(All of you)
I want all of you
(None of me)
But you want none of me
So, I guess I'll leave you alone

Make me out to be the victim
Make me out to be the one who's hurt (x2)

I want all of you
But you want none of me

Oh well, it's what I felt and now it's done.
