I’m happy to finally be able to perform this beast, however I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t ready for it to be over.  I love acting, I love Shakespeare, and majority of the time I love the Tempest.  For some reason, I just am ready for it to be over.  I suppose it’s probably because this show has consumed so much of my time, I’ve nearly forgotten what leisure is…nearly, of course. 

Regardless, I’m ready for the performance.  There’s something about being on stage that is truly one of the greatest feelings in the world.  I feel invincible, and want nothing more than sit on my throne on top of the world.  It’s hard to explain, but it’s the greatest high I’ve ever known in my life, and it’s what I crave.  I honestly love acting because of the final destination, not necessarily for the ride.

As for now, I will have to continue going over my lines and blocking.  All I hope is that others have done the same…and didn’t go too crazy over spring break.  One can only hope. 

Adieu!

Going Beyond "I Disagree"

http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/media/social-media-makes-you-more-sociable-study-says/19731950/

This article says that researchers claim that having Facebook, or other social websites, actually makes a person more social.  They state, "In fact, we believe there is sufficient evidence that social media afford opportunities for new expressions of friendship, intimacy and community."
This research claims that social networking websites help to bring people together in far different ways, making newer and deeper relationships.  


To be honest, I don't care how much research there is.  This topic will always be an opinion question.  Naturally, everyone will relate this question with personal examples.  In general, everyone uses Facebook differently.  Some like posting pictures, others like updating their statuses frequently, some write notes, etc. The options are limitless.  
Therefore, some will gain become more social after using this, and others won't. 


However, in my opinion, I think Facebook goes out of its way to be counterproductive in making us more social.  But if you want to hear more about that, then I guess you should read my up-coming argumentative paper! :)

Check this out! So funny!

TGIF

It's an expression that we all enjoy, and nothing quite compares to that feeling of walking into pure freedom after 5 days worth of tireless work!
This week has been exhausting.  For some reason, I'm just letting this week get to me.  You know that feeling where the entire world has be piled onto your back in 2.5 seconds?
I feel like next week will be even worse; hell week is what we actors refer to as the week before our show when we are OH MY GOD PLEASE KILL ME NOW I'M SO FLIPPING STRESSED SOMEONE SAVE ME ASAP WHY THE HELL DID I EVER THINK THIS WAS FUN SOMEONE PLEASE LIGHT ME ON FIRE I KNOW I'M OVERDRAMATIC BUT I'M ALLOWED TO BE AHHHHHH. This is the time I completely forget why I love acting, and want to continually shove tacks into my eyes.  However, I know that feeling on stage is the most rewarding, natural high I could ever receive.  Once those lights hit me, and I see a full house, WOW is all I can say; I never, ever, ever want to do anything else.  That specific moment is why I'm a psychotic being for 2-3 weeks.
So please, my friends, if I go from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds, forgive me AND still see the Tempest. That's all I ask of youuuuu!
Okay, enough with this blog post. Let's start this weekend off right!
