Were the World Mine

     Whilst babysitting my nephew the other day at my sister's house, I had just finished the entirety of the 3 seasons of Parenthood available on Netflix, watched 2 episodes of Glee, and was in the mood for a good, unique musical. I had remembered my friend mentioning to me that I would enjoy this musical, and that it was on Netflix. I crossed my fingers and looked it up and voila, there it was. I had no idea what I was getting into when I began the movie, but I really enjoyed most of the music, and anything which is in Shakespearian language is A-OK with me. The Character of Timother was fantastic, his "screw everyone, I do what I want" attitude was encouraging, to say the least. The plot really didn't thicken all too much, like in Bare: A Pop Opera (a very similar musical which I shall most likely blog about in the future) but it was a nice pick-me-up after the heart-wrenching drama I had just finished watching. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is in the mood for a light and romantic musical (gay romance, mind you). Overall I thought it was a delightful musical with decent choreography and better-than-expected acting. I absolutely loved the voices of the actors as well. Interested? Go on Netflix and watch it, you won't regret it.

The Quest

For the passed 6 years my life has been a continuum of struggle between accepting my dreams and facing reality. It wasn't until recently that I realized that I could never be truly happy until I am standing on that Broadway stage, helping people escape from their dreary everyday lives by bringing them into the world of musical theatre in which all things are beautiful and bittersweet. You have never been entertained, and I mean truly entertained, until you have sat in a theatre and seen a girl belting a Stephen Schwarts or Cole Porter tune with all of her being. That may just be my own opinion, but I'll carry it to my grave, along with my Funny Girl vinyl. Come with me on this adventure through the life of the (wannabe) show-boy.
The first step - vocal lessons.
First step - save up money for vocal lessons.

Hello readers...

I realize that this blog has become complete and utter nonsense. It has strayed greatly from its original course. Not to mention that I haven't posted to it in ages. I am going to try to bring it back around to its original purpose. Please bare with me.

Thank you.
