A Familiar Place
Again from SJSU, its little old me.
Not much to say today, yet I still feel compelled to write SOMETHING. I began rehearasals for Big River a few nights ago, and I must say it feels good to be back in the old WVLO oven again. Not that I don't like SCP, but WVLO is where I started. So its good to be back. The Young Fool part I am playing isn't all that big, but man am I going to have fun with it.
Other than that, the stress that was plaguing me last week is finally starting to back off. Nicole gets a big "ah-thank-ah-you" for that one. What would I do without that girl... Probably nothing severe, but life would definately suck a bit more!
Keeping it short like I promised, I am off to grab a Red Bull and a snack and get my ass to class. Hopefully I will stay awake now that I am actually sleeping a little better and am not ripping my hair out from the roots like before. Peace...

Caffinated Irishman
It sure has been awhile since my last post. And with good reason. Being an actor is hard work! I have either been at rehearsals or tech sessions for JCS, school, or sleeping. Hard work, but man is it paying off. I will admit, I can't wait till I get a break... in December.
As for now, I am ready to open the show tomorrow night. The cast is getting excited and things are really starting to click. There are of course a few bugs here and there. To be expected... This is live theatre!
School is moving along. Not much book work to do, so everything is really hands-on. Or in my case, feet-on. Dance classes are harder that I ever thought they would be. And I had already assumed they would be hard. But hey, I'm tapping better everyday, and my ballet technique has really progressed in my jazz class.
Lets see... what else is going on. Well, or course there is Nicole. What can I say other than; Life is good. She treats me wonderfully and puts up with my shit. What more could I ask for?! Well, lets see. She goes with me to Stanford football, (and defends me from the evil forces of squeaky-voiced demons that seem to pop-up without a moments notice, offers a back rub when I need it, and is a joy to be around. Good times.
Other than all that, life has been ok for the most part. An adequate amount of stress from time to time around my house of which I would rather not discuss, but I would be lying if I said I slept perfectly seven nights a week. But life goes on unlike this post which will now come to an end. But not without the prerequisite plug for JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR!!

Click that puppy and you got yourself all the info you need on getting tix. Take care, and drop me an email sometime... Don't make me name names of those who haven't talked to me in awhile... Peace...
P.S. There should be a law against those who sit in the computer terminals here in the library who...
(a)Don't shower.
(b)Mumble to themselves.
(c)Look at porn.
(d)Are either mouth breathers or loud nose breathers.
(e)Type on the keyboard as if hitting the keys harder will make it work faster.
With that said... Peace...

It Starts
Well, here we go. Yet again I find myself on campus, clicking away at a library terminal to kill time before my next class. School has begun...
It was a great summer though. From rehearsals and performances of Seven Brides, to rekindling a friendship which turned into love, I must say I had a helluva time. Ohh, on the subject of Seven Brides...
Without looking back at old posts, I can't remember if I had mentioned that I was up for an ERMA Award for Best Leading Actor for the role of Adam. Well, I was. And since you have either already heard it or have already assumed by my even mentioning it; yes, I won! I am pretty stoked, but at the same time I am sort of shocked. I didn't expect to win at all. Add to the joy of winning that Megan won Best Leading Actress and Seven Brides won Best Show! Feels damn good. The awards ceremony was a blast too. I got to perform along with all the other nominees and a few other cast members from the shows.
Geri Carlson-Sauls, my director for JCS, performed "Don Juan" from SMOKEY JOES CAFE among others. Rockin... And Megan pulled out "I Enjoy Being A Girl" and "Hound Dog" from FLOWER DRUM SONG and SMOKEY JOES respectively. I got to do "It Only Takes A Moment" from HELLO DOLLY which I turned into a little serenade for Nicole who looked ravishing in her blue evening gown. I also did "Love Never Goes Away" and "Sobbin' Women" from SEVEN BRIDES, as well as "Worlds Apart" from BIG RIVER and a little backup singing for "On Broadway" from SMOKEY JOES. Great night... Got to see a lot of old cast members from DOLLY and CHORUS LINE, and had so much fun performing the old songs and some new ones. It has been a great year. While I'm at it, here is a list of who else won...
Best Character Actor: Tony Feenan as Barnaby Tucker in HELLO DOLLY
Best Character Actress: Geri Carlson-Sauls as Sheila Bryant in A CHORUS LINE
Best Supporting Actor: Michael MacLaren as Cornelius Hackl in HELLO DOLLY
Best Supporting Actress: Donna Rappa-Olsen as Diana Morales in A CHORUS LINE
Congrats to all of you if you happen to read this!
Now its back to school, crashing classes, stressing out over papers, and wishing SJSU was across from De Anza so I could have lunch with Nicole. Yeah, I know... "Awwwww..."
Whatever, I mean it.
So for now, that does it. Have a good one. Peace...
