Late Night Rambling

Life would be so much easier if everyone wore their hearts on their sleeves. Sure, people would be ashamed, sad, criticized, and vulnerable, but our world would be so much more simple.

       Think: You have a crush, and you beat yourself up about it by wondering if she (in my case) likes you, or if she likes someone else. It consumes your entire being (trust me it happens) and you can't stop obsessing over it. If people were open with their feelings, then you would know exactly what they were dealing with, and it would save both of you time and energy. Granted, it might cause a mild case of heart break, but you'll get over it. At least you did with the other 15 or so girls you liked.

All I'm sayin is this: Don't hide your feelings. Maybe don't actually go around telling everyone your deepest secrets, but be transparent with what you say and do so that people know you can trust them and that they can trust you. That's one reason why I don't really bother to hide my dislike of people when I first meet them.
       "But Joe!" People say.
 "That's so unfair to judge people like that! You don't know their life story!"
And to that, I say "Tru, you right."
While you shouldn't judge people so fast, I've found it's easier not to pretend you like some you don't, then to pretend you like someone who you don't. If I have no intention of becoming friends with those people, they should be aware  so neither of us pretend to like each other. Because, odds are, he/she doesn't like me either. That's it for my 11pm journal rant. Kbye

Probably bad writing but whatevz

                         Hey, so I've been trying to a daily write each evening, and it's been going alright. Some pretty weird things, consistently since the first of the year. So, I thought i'd share a bit of my writing. Keep in mind this was a couple days ago at 11:30pm so it is by no means good. Allllllrighty then

Sickness is over (for the most part), now I must embrace the trials and tribulations of the sadness and despair that are my normal school days. If school wasn't so awful and was actually interesting, maybe most kids would actually find a shred of useful knowledge, and maybe find it useful, cause this world definitely needs people who have the capability to expand their knowledge of certain topics, and better the nation that surrounds them.

Subsequently, older and more experienced people must take upon themselves the responsibilities of coaching youth on how to respect every one of their superiors, whether they want to or not, so they can learn proper manners. Frankly, it's atrocious how rude and disrespectful this generation is, and they show no signs of improvement. So, as I stated earlier, it's up to older demographic to lead these unruly kids in a path worthy of our predecessors in an aim to achieve for tomorrow a functional America.

Starting Something New

Now that music man sadly is over, I turn my attention to Anne of Greene Gables.
I have mentioned this briefly previously, but not in much detail, as I did not know all of what was happening. My first practice is today from 2-4pm. I am really looking forward to this, as this is my first production with this group. We don't do musicals, so it will be a whole lot different from Pittsfield Players. Also I should have said this when I started, so i'll just say that i'm horrible at writing so if this is bad, i'm just bad. So, now that we got that out of the way, what to talk about now? I know, i'll talk about....

                                                                 PEACE!

All good things must end

It had to end. my favorite year in the play ended yesterday after the cast party. One last time to see the 40+ other amazing cast members that were there. I won't see any of them until January of 2017, which is awful, unless we have a get together. Although, as I mentioned, there were 2 seniors who would not be joining us next year. I wish they could have stayed in forever! they were so awesome and some of my best friends. one I had gotten back from the cast party, I already was starting to miss them after 5 minutes. I don't know how I'll be able to manage for the next 10 months without seeing them all again;(

            But after that, I went to a birthday party for one of my friends for 3+ hours which was SO MUCH FUN! we played games, ate pizza, and had a LOT of ice cream. After we said goodbye, I realized that this was probably the best day of 2016 for me.


Well, stay tuned for the next blog hopefully tomorrow!

                                                               PEACE!

That Went Well!

5 Performances down, and what can i say? they were great. so much fun to act and hang out with my best friends. It's sad though, we will be losing 2 seniors, who have been so great throughout the years, None other than our Mayor Shinn, as well as his wife, Eulalie MacKeknie Shinn. they have been great cast members, and they will be greatly missed be all of the cast. So, ending the last play was sad, but he still have one more time to hang out together. The set strike/cast party. This is where we take down the set, clean the building, then have pizza and watch the performance on video. It's so much fun to have one last time together, even though all good things come to an end, where we have to say our goodbyes to everyone. This past year might have been my favorite, and I'm sure that some others thought so as well. Thank you to all the cast members who read this, It was great to act with all of you! I'll miss you guys <3


                                                       PEACE!

One More Time

One last time, one last performance. Four down, One to go. Music Man has been a lot of fun so far, and we have one more chance to perfect it. Tonight, Saturday February 20th at 7:30 is when we begin. It's gonna be AWESOME!!!! I'm really looking forward to making this last performance great. But enough of that for now, Time to talk about other things, like the other play I am in, Anne of Green Gables. we had auditions on Friday, February 12th. I thought it went well, and we found out what part(s) we got at 6:29am on February 14th. In fact, i woke my sister up at 6:30am just to tell her what parts i got. like i said (or at least i think i said) i got the parts of the stationmaster, as well as Reverend Allan. Now, I don't know how big those parts are, I will be getting my script soon, but i can't wait to find out. Well, that's all for now.


                                                          PEACE!

It's Been a While

Well, it certainly has been a while. so many things, I've lost track of time. So, Myself, as well as some other friends have been in the play "Music Man" in Pittsfield, NH. This is my 5th year in Pittsfield players, and it has been a blast. i play the part of Jacey Squires, the livery stables owner.



 I have always loved theater, and my sister and I just Auditioned for parts in "Anne of Green Gables", and I received the parts of the stationmaster, as well as reverend Allan. we have 10 weeks to practice this play before the performances, which is quite a bit longer than Pittsfield, where we only have 5-6 WEEKS to practice, build set, and paint it before the performances. That's CRAZY! as of now (February 16th) the first performance is today at 12:30. I'm so excited!

I hope it goes well, since we did have more time than usual because we only had 1 snow day this year. Anyway, that's all I have for now.

                                                                   PEACE!
