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.
