    ** edit**


    finally!!!  they turned the darn electric on.  Now if I can just get the gas company to comply.   . . .     . .. bastards

  • It's about time . .

    I think its time to make some major changes in my life.  My outlook . . . my organization . . my drive . . my goals.  I haven't really been living my life.


    It's not like I've been a hermit.    But in regards to a social life?  Thats pretty close to the truth. 


    It's not like I don't do anything.  Far from it.  I work a full time day job . . . I'm a professional musician in the evenings.  I do a lot.  But that just about sums me up.  I go. . . I do (work, play etc), I go home. 


     


    Wash, rinse, repeat.


     


    I've been floating through really.  Not really pushing myself. . . not really expecting a lot.  My house is a mess . . and I really think thats a reflection of my life at the moment.  (ok . . . so yes. . . I'm moving.  But thats not an excuse.  My life is cluttered . . . as is my apartment.  moving or not).


    What's happened to ~me~?  The fun me.  The me that went dancing with my friends . . . the me that got out and played.  The me that was motivated.  The me that pushed myself until I got where I wanted to be? 


    I think she's hiding.


    I need to find her.  I think we played a game of hide and seek . . and she's been hiding for a while, and I've yet to find her.  She's getting restless.  Can't blame her really . . she's been hiding for quite some time!


     


    So life has a new plan.  New apartment, new car . . . new outlook.  New motivations, new energy (even if it kills me! *grin*).  A NEW old me.

  • Children and Art

    You know,

    Kids really are amazing. 

    I just finished a run of "The Sound of Music" with the Mansfield Symphony.  It was fun . . . the acting was horrific . . but the kids . . . they stole the show.  Especially little Gretl.  She was 4.  4 years old.  And what a trooper!  She never missed a line . . . and when problems came her way . . . nothing threw her.  She'd just keep on going. 

    Last night . . . she got the hiccups.  *grin*  It was a double . . one show in the afternoon, one in the evening.  (this is a three hour show) . . . you can imagine how tired this girl was.  She'd been acting all day . . . and now all night . . and she gets a case of the hiccups.  (and gosh they were adoreable).  Did this throw her?  Did she have a diva moment? 
    No sirree!!  She just kept on going. 

    what a cutie patootie.  A lot of older actors could learn a lot from this 4 year old.  a lot.  

    I'm in the process of moving.  I have a new place up in Cleveland.  Real nice place . . hardwood floors, lots of woodwork.  Old 1930's home.  I'm slowly moving things in . . hoping to have this place cleaned out by the last weekend of the month. 
    Its gonna be a little crazy. 

    but I'll get it done.  come hell or high water! hehe 

    speaking of high water . . . this new place means no more flooded bedrooms!  yaaayy!  That'll be a lovely thing. 

    Have a great night all.  Time for me to skedaddle. 

    ciao!

    ~Me


  • This is very much me.  aside from one sentance . . 'full of yourself and proud of your faults'.
    no.
    not so much.
    I know I have faults, and I try to change them to the better.  so yeh, not me.

    But the rest?  heh.  def. me.

    You Have a Choleric Temperament




    You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
    Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
    You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.

    You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
    Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
    You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.

    At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
    Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
    A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

  • Random Photoblog . . .

    Over the next couple of days, I'm going to post some pics that I've taken over the last couple of months.  Random stuff. 
    Starting here.  I was in Columbus with my best friend and her two girls.  We were watching the older girl play in the fountain in the middle of Easton Center, and I snapped a few pics.  This picture was a bit of an accident, as I was trying to snap a pic of K, and just as I snapped . . she boogied right out of there.   Leaving this pic, that turned out pretty well.  He looks absolutely fascinated.   

    boy - Easton, Columbus

  • My grandmother passed away yesterday.

    She was the sweetest woman in the world.  The perfect representation of an English grandmother.  A little silly, definitely sweet, always thought you were too skinny, made the most wonderful meals.  She kept ya in line though.  But . . . gosh she was just wonderful. 

    I miss you.  I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you.  I hope you know that, and know how much I love you.  Always will. 

  • I'm . . exhausted.

    this whole, work full time
    + evening gigs
    can really keep me busy to the limit.
    especially when I have weeks like this week. 

    It's tech week for Sunday In The Park with George.


    *yawn*

    I get up at 6 am.
    Drive to work.
    Work till 5/5:30.
    Drive to Kirtland. (aka BFI)
    grab a quick (extremely unhealthy) dinner on the way.
    wolf dinner.
    Start rehearsal.
    Leave theater @ 11:00.
    hour drive home.

    pass the fuck out.
    get up at 6am and do it all over again.
    been at it since Monday.
    I won't have a break . . . until Monday.  of next week.

    *yawn*

    Ohh. . and incase you're wondering.  The show is by Sondheim.  It's based off of the above painting by Georges Seraut . . "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte".  It's a neat concept . . . and the show is slowly growing on me.  It's still definitely odd though. 
    anyways.  nite all! 
    Photos soon to come.

    Quote of the Week:

    Opera occurs when a man is stabbed in the back, and instead of bleeding, he sings.

    ps . . . thank god for coffee.  I'm not sure I would survive in this life  right now w/o it. 

  • My Post 4th of July Post

    Happy Belated 4th of July!   

    I played a concert with the Akron Symphony last night . . . right before the 'simulcast' fireworks display.  (actually, fireworks with a soundtrack?  turned out really darn cool.)  I snapped some fotos during the event.  Enjoy! (They're not the greatest . . . I just have your regular, run-o-the mill digital camera)  Some of them (to me) look a bit nebulous.

    (yes, these folks are standing on a highway overpass.  I forgot to mention, our concert was on a major highway.  They shut these major roads (and a major 8 lane highway!) down to have the festivites right there on the road.)
