Dream, Dream, Dream....

Due to the overwhelming amount of response I recieved on my first post, I've decided to continue with searching for my "passion" to blog about.  In the meantime, enjoy being my "journal".

I have the urge to start a band.  I don't know why, but I do.  I don't think I even care about making it a profession (though the money would certainly be nice).  Just a group of people that want to perform.  There's something about the spotlight that lures me in.  I can't help but think everytime I go to a live performance, whether it be a concert, show, or whatever, that I want to be up there in front of the crowd.  I think this helps me when I'm on stage in a comedy when I have one of those no dignity parts.  I'm a laugh whore, I'll do anything for a laugh on stage. 
See?? I told ya.


There is one problem to this.......make that a lot of problems. 

I don't have drumset of my own, I don't have a good guitar or even know if I could play it well enough, and don't have many friends who care about putting a band together.  The biggest problem is probably going to be finding the time to practice.......Ha!! Like we'd need it! (I wish that were true)



Where would we practice?  I have a garage but lack the neighbors that enjoy music as much as me....Make that loud music.  I don't have the relationship with the local police officers for them to ignore the noise complaints.  Oh well, who knows maybe one day.  Just thought you might like to hear a dream of mine.  (I dreamed a dream of time gone by.......)


If she can do it, I should be able to, right?

That brings me to another dream of mine.  This one is a little more self-centered (go figure).  You've probably seen me on stage or heard about me being the one in a play that "isn't afraid to go there".  It's true, only on stage will I do whatever is needed to bring a smile to the audience, but I long for something different.

I want to be in a role.....a serious role.  I got this feeling while watching a local production last night.  I thought to myself, "Self, why don't you try a role that is so deep (TWSS) that the audience gets drawn into your character and shares the feeling with you."  I'm talking about a role that brings thought and maybe tears to the audience. 



So, if you're a local director (or hollywood agent) and reading this, keep me in mind for one of those darker or deeper roles.  And I say this to you as well.  Don't be afraid of doing something other than comedy's or light hearted musicals.  Believe it or not, the audience will enjoy a great performance no matter what the genre.



Well, it's about time for me to get back to married life, so I'll have one for you, the reader.  (or if I'm lucky, readerS).  Until next time, keep the bottoms high and drinks a 'comin!

Not sure.

So I've had this blog for 2 months now, and haven't posted anything yet.  Well.....Looks like it's time to change that. 

In case you're not familiar with me, I'm recently a newlywed.  Me and my gal decided to 'tie-the-knot' back on July 2nd.  Shortly after we spent about a week in San Antonio, but enough about that. 

Since I began this blog, I've been trying to figure out something to write about.   Something I'm passionate about......... Let's just say that narrowed the list quite a bit.  More like all the way. (If I even had a list to begin with.)  So to my readers (if there are any) I ask you this question.  What should I write about? 


I'm involved with so many things, and I like SO much stuff, I can't decide what to single out.  I can't do them all.  I have to pick one.  And I don't want to pick something that somebody already blogs about. 



I wish I could blog everyday about the happenings at school everyday from a teacher's perspective.......Somehow I can see me losing my job for that, so I think I'll stay away from that subject.


Anywho (cliche), I'll think about this for a little bit and see if anyone of my vast number of readers has a good suggestion for me.  Until then, keep the bottoms high and the drinks a coming!
