Shrek

Okay, the title says it all. I've officially added the role of Shrek from "Shrek The Musical" to my list of dream roles. mostly because of this song


Yeah, good stuff.

Oh, so my top 5 in case you were wondering are:

1. Shrek
2. Beast from "Beauty and the Beast"
3. Gaston
4. Javert from "Les Mis"
5: Horton from "Seussical"

Honorable mentions include Tevye from "Fiddler", as well as....um....someone from 1776. Maybe Ben Franklin.


Anywho, onto other things.


(looking back, Shrek seems like a misleading title, considering that it won't make up even a small majority of the post.... oh well)



Okay, so rehearsals = Awesome. The show is really going to be awesome. Not going to lie, I'm really looking forward to being the last person to bow for the first time ever.


If you followed that, congrats. If not, read slowly.


Anyway, I don't mean to sound conceited, but damn is that exciting. I'm also looking forward to the long laugh breaks that are sure to ensue when William or Nathan are on stage. Holy crap, those are 2 of the funniest guys I've ever had the pleasure of working with. And Nathan can sing like no ones business, it's like hot butter on toast.



Okay, against my better judgement, I'm bringing this up. And don't think I'm racist or anything, I love my black friends, but have you ever noticed that people of color have a "white" voice and a "black" voice? Seriously, give a black man or woman a song they can soul up, and rip into, and you will hear a very african-american sound. It is incredible, I love it.


Also,


There is a magical scale that only black people have access to. This sounds weird, but honestly, watching Nathan do runs is a magical experience. If I ever wanted to copy one of his amazing runs, I would have to write it down, and practice it for a few years. It's incredible.






Btw, DISCLAIMER: (this should really be above the previous comments.....) I'm not a very serious person, in that I don't take much seriously. I hate people that take everything seriously, and are wound up far too tight. So, I make jokes, and say things that other people may find offensive, but I have no intention of coming off that way.


If you want to be my friend, live with it.


















Still there? Still love me?

Good, moving on.




I dropped Cinema. At first, I didn't really mean to, and then I realized I enjoy that class when I don't have to do any of the ridiculous work involved. And I never do that work, so I don't mind dropping it. I'd prefer to keep my GPA, thank you very much.



Umm.... I suppose I have nothing else for now. You kids go have fun.
