well, i am finally settling into my surroundings. the start of next week, i will fully assume my position at blue man group and i cannot wait. the city is wonderful, but i am starting to feel what the winter has in store.

its fucking cold today!!!!!!!


anyway, ill be back in bl/n for thanksgiving and wont be back until sunday. if anyone will be at isu, give me a call. i hope everyone spends this holiday with friends and family and has a great time. take care and stay safe....

...and get really drunk when your family starts to ask questions about how you will EVER make money in a field such as theatre!

okay, okay. i know that i said i would be posting regularly and i have left the page to sit for over a month. well, that has been for many reasons.

1. i have been busy with moving and the new job

2. i really didnt have that much to say.

3. my internet connection at home is still out

so there you go. the reasons for my slacking. and now on to more important things.


a few things that have been on my mind:

so the election is over and w won. im very disheartened and cautious of the future. i am not angry at bush-he thinks he is right-im pissed that the people of the united states. we voted enmass and we still did not overcome the serious arrogance and singlemindedness of 'traditional moral values'. my heart hurts for the rest of the world because i know the u s is probably going to fuck with more countries than we already are in the next four years, consequently lowering the perception that the rest of the world has for us.


i saw napoleon dynomite earlier in the week and i laughed my ass off. literally, i think it fell off in the theatre cause i cant seem to find the damn thing anywhere. the film was full of nostalgic items that i remember growing up back in bl/n. if you grew up in the eighties and were even slightly a dork, see this movie. it will make you lose your ass.


city life is great. it doesnt hurt that i am residing in a condo owned by relatives all by myself,but i am trying to stay humble. i still dont have money. i have found that if you walk out the door with $20 in the morning youll come back with 3 bucks and some change. maybe im just doing it wrong but for now, its leaving my pocket as fast as im getting paid.

if you happen to be someone that i knew back at school or even before, give me a call, write an email, or yodel. i have missed many faces since leaving school and it is always nice to hear a friendly voice. until then, watch Spaceballs. i saw it again the other day and it is fricking hysterical.
