so fucking angry
just kidding - figured I'd grab your attention. So as I was checking up on what my friends were up to I figured It's been, what? a year since i've said anything here - here's the jist.
life is great - though I have no social life cuz i'm always working.
New York is awesome but I'll be glad to be spending the summer in Vermont.
I'm writing a musical. More on that as it develops.
Miss you kids.
P.S. The rest of this entry will be filled with random words that I particularly enjoy starting with:
penguin - pizza - parapet - shwarma - patte - banter - serendipitous - philanthropy
MORE TO COME

Reserve tickets for my show!!!!!
Hey guys
Over the past couple months I have been working on and musically directing a production of Adam Guettel's "Floyd Collins" here at Tisch and we are about to enter our tech week. Our cast is phenomenal and the creative team has a really workable and effective vision.
I would love it for you guys to come see it (if you can of course). It's a different type of artistry and a beautiful script/score that is worth being exposed to.
The show dates are February 21 through February 25 with two performances on the 25th (afternoon and evening).
Tickets go up for reserve tomorrow morning at 9, short notice i know. They fly fast! You will be informed within a couple of days if you have tickets or are on the waiting list.
You can e-mail fcreservations@yahoo.com or leave a voicemail with 925.785.6615.
Please leave what performance you wish to see, how many tickets you wish to reserve, your name, and your number/e-mail address.
I hope you can come see it! It's a great project.
Hope all is well! Let me know if any of you are able to see it!
Call me with any questions!

my mood swings. . .
. . . make me feel ashamed
I don't remember getting on line for this roller coaster. . . all I know is I can't stop thinking about where I am right now and where I should be. . . . I can't help but feel hope. . . amidst all the despair i can't help but hope that she'll wake up. . . maybe some people just aren't ready to be open. . .
"Every time you choose to turn away - is it worth the price you pay?"
I don't have it in me to give up. Everyone tells me - stop talking to her - stop being her friend and maybe things will return to the way they were. . . . that's not how I work - unfortunately for me, that's not how I work
but enough of my blubbering
Today I had rehearsal for the student film I'm shooting in North Brunswick next weekend. Fun as hell. . . we're just a bunch of laid back people and half the time was spent joking around and fucking around with the script. . . I'm so excited to film.
Funny how excited we were I would be so close to her town
::mood swing::
The script is. . . interesting. I did a lot of beat, intention, and subtext work today before I went to rehearsal.
Tomorrow I have a meeting with people about possibly Musically Direting a student production next semester. . . then I have meeting about possibly being conductor for the upcoming production of Company. . . after which is rehearsal again, this time with the girl playing Linda - my seductress as it were. . .
That's about the update for now. As for the rest of the night - we're thinking maybe Zen for Japanese food and Sake. . .

Scheduling
So I'm making up my schedule for the fall semester - and I'm slowly uncovering how much my school angers me. I have to talk to my advisor but here's what I understand - minimum credits for graduation - 128. Maximum credits before graduation - 128.
Woah woah wait - - - what? I pay you 50,000 dollars a year. . . and you tell me how much I'm allowed to learn at your institution? That's gotta be a lie.
Oh and get this - - I can only take 18 credits in a semester - - - which i guess makes sense due to the limit - - - but what if I actually want to educate myself??!? oh well - guess I'm fucked.
Let's look at it this way - - - I want to minor in business at Stern - that will count towards my elective credits - - - i'm only allowed 20. . . and i'm pretty sure the amount of credits for a minor is either 16 or 20. . . Wait wait - - - no electives? or maybe like two? WTF IS GOING ON HERE?!?!!?!?!?!?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I have my advisement meeting on Wednesday - - - maybe I'm wrong. . . hopefully I'm wrong . . . .
NYU is sucking pretty hard right now
That's all

Friends only from march 25th edited for public
this entry will be in two parts
PART ONE
Break:
Break was pretty good - California, Mexico, and Vegas - - - for the most part anyway. Some good stories.
1.) I got punched in a bar in Mexico
Ok so we went to this bar that was 15 dollars at the bar and then open bar for the night. Basically I'm standing waiting to order a drink and this kid next to me, of whom i was completely unaware, punches me in my side. I'm just like what? He's like "Give me some fucking room!" So I look and he's got like 5 feet - - - i'm like Dude I'm not crowding your space am I? (all polite and shit since he was drunk). and he screams at me "IM GONNA HURT YOU!" - So I keep saying that I'm not crowding his space and he just goes "Woah. Sorry man - I'm really drunk right now" Meanwhile - his friends behind me were fuckin spitting on my jacket - drunk mother fuckers. . . my friend Brandon and I were gonna take them but we were outnumbered 3 to 1. So there's that story.
2.) People constantly misunderstand my intentions.
So there was this girl there as it was clearing up - fairly attractive from what I remember. . . and she's basically dancing all alone - Except this guy keeps coming up to her and I'm under the impression( due to body language and the look on her face) that she doesn't want him there. So he goes away - comes back gets all over her for like 10 seconds and it looks like she keeps pushing him away - - - I'm keeping my eye on this shit just cuz i'm a good guy and trying to make sure nothing gets out of hand. . . So her friend comes up to me and is like "Yo why do you keep staring at my homie??!?" (yes she said homie) so I just say to her "It looked like he was going for something she didn't want and I just wanted to make sure everything was ok." And she's like "Yea it's fine" and walks away. . . we were getting ready to leave anyway so a few minutes later - since I care so much about what people i don't know think of me apparently - - - I go back up to her friend and I'm just like "I just wanna make sure everything's cool. I'm not that kind of guy I just wanted to make sure everything was alright." Seemed like everything was cool.
The trip itself was good for the most part - we road a couple rides on top of the Stratosphere in Vegas - which was ridiculous. so there's that.
PART TWO
part two occurs yesterday
Studio day so I had Jazz from 9 to 10:30, Ballet from 10:30 to 12:00 - vocal tech from 1 to 2:30, voice and speech from 2:30 to 4:00 and then acting 4:00 to 6:00. Jazz went pretty decently - but Ballet was an incredible day for me (tuesday wasn't too bad either) so I'm finally starting to feel like I'm actually a good dancer - good stuff right there. Vocal tech I didn't sing - - - but then I performed my monologue in voice and speech - where our story takes place.
For those of you who know me - you know I'm pretty closed off about my emotions - I may bitch about shit but I usually am pretty clean emotionally. . . on the outside anyway - - - well, voice and speech is all about releasing tension in the body, releasing the jaw (where all of our pent up emotions are kept), opening the chest, forgetting about acting and just working with the impulse, breathing - etc. etc. etc.
So after we warm up and stretch and everything I go up to do my monologue - my teacher worked with me for about a half hour with different exercises to release tension and find the different "centers" of the body. etc. - then I started to actually do the monologue using all of that - I delivered it to my friend kelly for two reasons - her and I are really close and two the monologue was on a subject matter that I knew she'd enjoy - so by the last time I go through the monologue. . . you know that strong tingling feeling you get when your hand falls asleep? . . . yea well I felt that all over my body - I couldn't feel my face - I couldn't see straight, my hands were purple and curling up because the muscles were constricting - - - and apparently i was SHAKING - I think I freaked people out - - - if not I definitely freaked myself out - - - my dad thinks it might be some kind of anxiety thing. . . . maybe my mind and body fighting over control - - - either way I let go a lot more than i'm used to. . . and my body just freaked - - - I was spacy (which isn't a real word) for the rest of class and throughout all of my acting class - - - in fact i was spacy until i went to sleep last night . . .
I'm better now - - - just a little freaked about what the fuck happened. heh - but I'm doing alright - fuckin weird shit.
Recording tomorrow - I'm home for the weekend. . . don't know if i can do anything though - call me
That's all for now

SPRING BREAK!
So, today is my official last day of classes before spring break - - - and you know what that means??
CALIFORNIA HERE I COME!!!
I can't wait to be warm haha - my suitemate dustin, our friend brandon, and i are going there to stay with dustin's family - spend a day in vegas, l.a., a couple in mexico - gonna be one hell of a time. But I am catching a red-eye back friday night - - - and then pass out all day saturday.
Class is fine for the most part - and the demo is coming along pretty well. I gave a copy of what i had so far to a couple managers/producers in the business as well as to the girls of the band Huckapoo - - - that's right folks check it out - www.huckapoo.com - - - - hopefully they'll have some suggestions for me or something cool like that.
OK I want all of you to right this minute check out the band Blackfield at www.blackfield.org - - - it's a collaboration between a british singer-songwriter and an israeli one - they are incredible. I saw them last night at the Canal Room. See, Jordan Rudess - the keyboardist from Dream Theater, the best keyboardist in the WORLD, and my personal idol - was playing with them last night since he's friends with them and some of the band couldn't get visas to come into the U.S. - anyway they were great - he was of course phenomenal - and the music is fantastic. . . so go listen to some of there stuff!
To all of the kids in Godspell next weekend - break legs!
That's all for now
