The World Has It's Shine

So this week was amazing. I wish my life was always like this.

Monday

I went out with my family for dinner on City Island. Good food and it was fun. I actually got a really good nights rest too. Oh and Smart Guy is one of the best decisions BET has ever made. I'm sure viewership has gone up since they brought that show back.

Tuesday

My birthday (libras stand up!) was great. Me a bunch of Trulla people piled up into Vinny's car and went to the movies. We went to see Max Payne but it was sold out. We wound up seeing Sex Drive which actually was really good.




Wednesday

For a few weeks now chamber chorus has been preparing for Tech's 85th Anniversary Gala. We were to perform with Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary. When we met Peter a few weeks ago he turned out to be a really fun old hippie guy. The gala wednesday night was amazing. Beforehand, we got to see Peter Yarrow basically talk to the sound people like four year olds (they weren't doing a very good job. I mean my friends from stageworks do better work than these guys were doing). So we sang a few numbers, ate , drank, and danced. Lots of fun. Especially seeing Dibo come by our tables and start collecting the half empty wine bottles.

Thursday

Once again got a good nights sleep. Maybe this time because I woke up at 11:30. Not a good look though since chamber chorus had an audition for Lil' Mama's show in November. When I got there I heard we had bombed the first number 'Ezekiel Saw the Wheel'. I obviously would be killed later by Dibo for missing it. Lil' Mama (who didn't show) was called by one of the producers to listen to us sing. We sang "Don't Laugh At Me' and did a much better job at it. It was significantly easier. We got the show and I survived the day although I felt like a douche for being late (thanks Joey).

Friday

Also a really good day. Our school had a pep rally to celebrate the release of High School Musical 3. While I'm neither a hater nor the shows greatest fan it was a lot of fun. Fox 5 even televised the event on Good Day New York. Chamber chorus also did that show as well. We did the Tech Alma Mater, some old cheer, and 'Don't Laugh At Me" again. A lot of us thought "Don't Laugh..." was a bad choice but it's whatever. From what I heard we did didn't make the news.

Video was amazing. We watched 'The Usual Suspects'.

SING rehearsal was especially taxing. I lost one singer. Have no idea how to get in contact with another. I'm doing one of the songs and I have still yet to rehearse two people in an act that's about done. I have to finish the Alma Mater tommorow. Rehearse it Monday and my director has issues with who I picked to do it. I haven't killed anyone yet. Mercy me.

Before I met you
I used to dream you up
and make you up in my mind
And all I ever wanted
Was to be understood.
You’ve been the only one who could.
I could never turn my back on you.

And whatever it takes.
I’m gonna make my way home.
We can turn our backs on the past
And start over…

Not long ago
I gave up hope
But you came along
You gave me something I could hold on to.
And I want you.
More than you could ever know.
It’s you.


Fun Stuff. Let's see what I this week throws at me.

Yea. I haven’t posted in a month.

School is in session. Life has gotten much brighter. I have amazing classes. Web design and Film/Video. Chamber Chorus and Drama. Yea, you wish you had these classes. Well if you’re reading this chances are you do. Got volleyball for gym. Pretty happy with the schedule.

SATs are this Saturday. I totally did no preparation whatsoever. Let’s see what happens.

School wasn’t open for a week before there was drama. I won’t give names but some people need to get their shit together.

Okay so SING (student created productions) is starting early this year. I planned on going an extracurricular diet. At the first SING meeting it seems some people decide to throw my name in there for musical director (EVEN THOUGH I SAID I WASN’T DOING IT!!!). Some people decided then to find me on the street, or send me lot’s of text messages and beg me to do it. I wanted the job. So I took it. Damn. SING is the show that came with the most drama (although last years spring musical was up there). Ramona has decided to get t-shirts with sayings on them.

Senior SING: Full of Drama

Everyone’s pregnant. LOL

A good friend of mine’s birthday is this weekend so HAPPY B-DAY AMETHYST!

I need a party.

Okay so this Christmas my mom wants to go to Barbados. I wanted to go, but now that I know my friends will be around I wanna stay. But now she doesn’t wanna give me the money she would have spent on my tickets. I wanna be in NYC, but not broke. One of my friends parent’s is going away and most of my other friends will still be in the city so that means maximum hang out time.

Still haven’t found a new job yet

Senior SING: It Goes There

I’m really gonna be needing that portfolio soon. College admissions are coming up.

There’s this program giving out money to senior artists. Me and a few friends are think of sending things in. They have divisions in music, graphics, photography, video, drama, etc. If you need the money then you should check it out.

YoungArts.org

I love web design. It’s not totally hard like I thought it would be. Lot’s of studying though. Damn Javascript.

So Chamber Chorus is doing the Tech 85^th Anniversary Gala. We get to do the show with Peter Yarrow of the folk group Peter, Paul and Mary. We’re actually rehearsing with him tomorrow, or today, its late leave me alone! Anyway I’ve been listening to their old stuff and I’m getting into it. Puff the Magic Dragon has taken over me and Brandon (S.)’s brains.

Oh also if you’re reading this and you know fluent sign language then it’ll get you a free dinner at the gala.

Senior SING: The Heat Is Rising

My mom got an HDTV. My TV feels inferior. Hers even has VGA input. I’m so jealous. I’m debating still on whether the 100 dollar converter box is even worth it.

The Zune finally got updated. So Jacob my Zune now has a clock, and games. It’s stats are officially above the Ipod of its class. Jacob smiles.

I’m finally back into the swing of all nighters and late night chats. Somethings never change.

I’m sick of the Industrial Design kids hating on Media for the new mac lab and our funding. Guess what? We haven’t had funding for years before that. Furthermore, we did not ask for a mac lab. Our teachers asked for a mac lab after doing work for the alumni foundation. We earned that shit. Not only that but it’s not even all it’s cracked up to be. I’m sorry Asher is screwing your major. But do something about it. Get all of your teachers involved. FIX IT INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO FIX IT.

Senior SING: Oh No She Didn’t

Rotating
I’m shaking
I hope you turn around in time
Tide is changing
I’m waiting
But you and I are one of a kind

I’ve been to both hemispheres over my short years
I still can’t pick my favorite place
The contour of your lips
They match the continents
And I still love the way that you taste

I need the product of your fears in the form of tears

It’s the only way I can survive

It breaks my heart to see you crying baby

It’s the only way I’ll stay alive

Green eyes, blue skies

Natural disasters when she cries

Green eyes, they’re mine

It’s only a matter of time

Time - Cute is What We Aim For

Senior SING: Those shoes are mine betch!

So add some tag lines for the sing t shirts

More to come

Nights
