Yo. I'm back. And racier than ever!
That's probably not true, oh well, give me time. Anyway, what's up, last night was the first night of The King and I and so far (according to Mr. Clark), most people have stated it's "stunning". I believe it, actually, for an LHS production, the whole thing is pretty damn decadent and eye-catchy. I personally don't think there's much reason for three hours of decadence, but I think this is some of the best acting that an LHS musical has ever offered. Not just saying that because I'm in it. I personally think Sean Driscoll, Lauren Dearcangelis, and oh yes, Eric Forst are all powerhouses. I need to work on my accent a little, but besides that, I've got my hardcoreness down, so if that means anything, wah-bam, good for me.
The day before the first performance, I caught a cold. Of course. I'm so fucking happy about this, for real. As of now, my voice is altered by it. About once every ten times I talk, my voice squeaks. This has never happened before to me, and the first time it does happen, it's during a time when I'm in a motherfucking musical. I will look back at this and laugh I'm sure...even if I'm burning down the LHS auditorium as I laugh. We need a new auditorium. But alas, I'm done giving a shit.
Done giving a shit about most school-related things. Not only that, so many other seniors around me are getting increasingly jaded as the school year comes to an end (including me). Some people though...I just hate being around a feeling of negativity... like when people think they're disillusioned and have realized that there's not much to be positive about. There is nothing that makes me madder than people who are intelligent and then practically decide to be pessimistic. There are coffeehouses for people like you. Elsewhere.
Did you know how much I love Madonna?
"You're not in love with someone else,
You don't even love yourself,
Still I wish you'd ask me not to go."
--"Till Death Do Us Part"
"And right while I am kneeling there
I suddenly begin to care
And realize that there could be
A person that loves me."
--"Rescue Me"
"If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know"
--"Live To Tell"
The thing is, the lyrics aren't even amazingly profound, but the pure Madonna of it all is just breathtaking. I think some people think she's all razzle-dazzle (to use a completely cool term), but I think what makes Madonna so cool is her honesty. Just incredible to me.
Hope my voice gets better. Hope I can continue to sail through the changing ocean tides. More later, and the drama banquet is coming up, hope to have a blast there. Later kids, I love to love you,
Louis.
