There are some days in school that it just completely reminds me that I’m meant to be there. Today in our Ensemble Singing class we learned The Ballad Of Sweeney Todd and I have to say for putting it all together in only 45 minutes it’s not too bad at all.
Take a listen!
So, I haven’t been around in a while. Apologies, apologies. Thing have just been going exponentially well for me. Whether it’s in the aspects of my career, motivation or school I feel as if I have an entirely new perspective on who I am, where I’m going and what I want to do. Cliche, I’m aware.
Living in New York City is a sink or swim environment. It’s self explanatory. You either do what you have to do to break into the business or you don’t and you have no one to blame but yourself.
A production of Hello, Dolly! that I’m working in is opening up soon on the upper west side and I’m proud of my participation and the work that is being done on it to make it a great production. Of course, as with everything, there is still work that needs to be done to make sure that it goes off without a hitch but we still have time.
Other than that I’m still making sure to go out there and make my face seen and known the to business. Can’t let them forget you, haha. Hopefully if all my ideas pan out I’ll be staying in Manhattan over the summer in order to work on some shows and projects of my own.
I hope everyone is enjoying the amazing spring weather and making use of it!

Look at this little guy…or girl…going to town on that ..weird looking bar-type-thing. Actually, the little guys looks slightly possessed- like he might actually tackle you and rip out your still beating heart if you try and get ANYWHERE near that candy bar. You don’t mess with Ethiopians.
That being said, a friend and I have started what we like to the “The Ethiopian Baby Diet”. Yes, it’s not politically correct and yes we don’t care. We think it’s funny and odds are if you’re reading this, you know me and you’ll most likely find it funny also. Basically what this diet consists of is not eating until you’re near passing out and possibly dying due to malnutrition. Sounds simple right? Right. The key to doing the diet correctly is to stop before you get that … Emaciated Pooch Belly. That’s not pretty.
To be honest, I’m just eating healthier and exercising. Nothing too extreme. Actually ran 5 miles today, go me. My friend however wants to go all the way, she’s die-hard. For instance, let me quote something she wrote on my wall earlier.
“I’m basically not eating until I feel like I’m gonna pass out and then eating a can of tuna. If I don’t feel like tuna I’ll heat up a packet of instant oatmeal. Rockin emaciated body here I come!”
I admire her dedication <3.
So welcome to the New Year, everyone! Hope everyone had a good NYE and enjoyed them selves either with family or friends. I hung out with a few friends and had a good night in.
Now comes the fun part. Those New Year resolutions. We all make them (don’t lie, you know you do) and we hardly ever follow them. Read more, eat better, lose weight, be happier, etc. Regardless of what it is we all make those resolutions at some point or another whether its in the new year or not. Though, do we follow them to fruition?
I know personally I’ve made a “Resolution” to eat better and focus on getting into the gym more. I say it all the time, that I want to lose weight. But now that I’m in the city, I know what I want from my self as a performer. I need to be able to sell my self visually whenever I walk into an audition room.
Going to keep this one short cause I have to run to rehearsal in a few minutes but..
What are your New Years resolutions and what are you going to do to make sure you follow them through?
So I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately since I’ve gotten my NetFlix account. Granted the real reason behind why I got the account in the first place is because I need to do a lot of makeup work for one of my classes. Oh well, it will get done eventually.
Onto the reason why we’re here!
So, the first of my movies:
I won’t ruin to much of this film for you, but it’s simply amazing. That and I really can’t summarize it for you right now cause I’m tired and lazy. Simply all you need to know is there are “storytellers” that exist and give us good dreams while we sleep as well as there are “Incubi” who are the ones who give us nightmares. Then this little girl goes into a coma and yaddah-yaddah. I’m not nearly talking it up enough- just watch it. It was seriously amazing. Favorite movie to date. Find more info by clicking here.
Second movie I got the luxury of seeing was an amazing documentary:
Deliver Us from Evil was a fantastic documentary about one particular priest who spent a period of about 20+ years raping/molesting 25 or more different children. The documentary exposes a lot of conspiracy and cover up in the catholic church. For example, the current pope was given diplomatic immunity so he’d never have to face chargers. That and the catholic church has paid over 1 billion dollars in out of court settlements. Creepy. Go watch it. Find out more by clicking here.
LAST ONE!:
Phoebe in Wonderland was another fantastic movie. I don’t want to spoil anything and to be honest it’s 4am and I don’t feel like typing anymore. Little Girl, OCD, Alice in Wonderland. Nuff said. To find out more click here.
