Mustn't Be Discouraged If The Going Is Slow
I don't even know if any of you guys bother with blogs anymore, considering the lack of updating and the lack of commenting...but anyways...
It's been a while, and even though not much has actually changed, it feels as though a lot has changed. We finished our play, which went very well, and now we're almost full swing into On The Town (by almost full swing I mean that we've already had our first read through which is kind of odd because we just began rehearsals, but we haven't had all that many rehearsals all together - lots of dancing and I'm not in a lot of that). It is going very well thus far and I am so proud of my Jay Jay who sounds better every time that I hear him. It's about damn time he got a lead is all I have to say.
Now on to what has been changing (even though not much has). I realized that I need to try harder. After a very good chat with Tim I realized that I can't rest on what talents I have, but rather have to continue to push those talents and not settle for what I can already do - I need to make myself go that one step farther. I already knew this, but I thought that I was getting away with making it seem as though it took a long time for me to reach a decision when it came to my character, even though it didn't. This was pretty lame of me. And after that chat with Tim, I am going to push myself harder to make myself go to that next level, which I know I can reach. I understand what Tim said and he made it sound better than other people did. Sometimes, don't bother discussing things with people who just assume what someone else is trying to tell you - because although they may think they know exactly what the person is talking about, a lot of the time, they don't , and things just get more confused.
Friendships have been changing as well - which seems to be a constant in this program. (Change is a constant...how odd is that?). Although there are the staple, never changing, solid as a rock friendships (which I love), there are some friendships that are growing stronger (again, which I love), but those that seem to be dwindling. It's not that friendships are being replaced, only that they seem to be drifting apart for one reason or another and have yet to be mended. I love getting closer with some people who I just wasn't all that close to last year for some stupid reason - my twin especially! We're having a lot of fun, that's for sure.
I don't know whose job it is to try and mend things, because in all honesty, I haven't really been trying, but that's because I'm assuming that no one else is either. Which is being hypocritical because I've lectured a friend who was in that mind-frame before and how they should get away from it. I don't know....maybe I'm just not trying....
No words of wisdom or poetic imagery....just an update on what's going on...which some of you already know. But, then again, I don't know who's reading this.
One dollar bill.
If you say that to me,
then I'll know who's reading this.
Kinda lame, but it's a fun game.
RHYMING!!
Just in case you were curious.
