Letting Go...

I've been doing a lot of thinking. I hate when I get in moods like this - where I over-analyze everything.

I've realized that if you hold on too tightly to the past, you lose your grip on everything else. It's the past. It can't be changed. You can't go back to it. You've just got to let go.

When ya let go, you can move on. Move on to things you don't know yet. We know how the past ends up. You can't change it. But the future is unwritten. You can make it what you wish. You can make it better.

So, here is to remembering the past, and remembering that the future is yet to come!

My week in West Palm Beach, FL!

Last week we were in West Palm Beach - our second week in FL. Have I mentioned how freaking hot it is in Florida?

Anywho, we were in West Palm. There really wasn't much going on. We were in a nice hotel - which means that everything cost money. But, we still had a good time. Thanks to 4-packs of wine. How cute are these? These 4 bottles equal a whole bottle of wine, but the are MUCH cuter! And you don't feel pressured to open and drink the entire bottle of wine! They are great! Loves it!
And, since the internet was cheaper at Starbucks than the hotel, we pretty much drowned ourselves in Starbucks. I freaking love coffee! I really want to work there - not only for the health benefits .... BUT FOR THE COFFEE!!! God, I will be so caffinated!

We also tanned! Gotta love soaking up the sun! I'm gonna miss not going out by the pool, or to the beach and just laying out. :(

BEACH!!!

So, you guys wanted more pics of me on tour! Ask and you shall recieve!

This week we are in Ft. Lauderdale this week, and our hotel is RIGHT ON THE BEACH! We've been spending some time down there, enjoying our days off and working on the tans!

Here's a picture of Janice, me, and Dani - the 3 understudies in the show! TEAM US! These girls are great! Aren't we cute???

And this is a pic of the view from the back of our hotel! Hmm, livin' the life!

Information Superhighway - Exit CLOSED!

I don't get it. I know that Florida is a major vacation spot ... but is it SO hard to get internet access out here? Does it REALLY cost $10 a day to get the internet out here? Do you have to ship it in from somewhere else? Does Florida pay taxes on it's internet? I just don't get it!

That's me and my camels, searching for the nearest Starbucks to at least get the internet for a little cheaper! ;)

This week in Tampa, FL!

So, last week we were in Tampa, FL - the first of a few weeks here in Florida. It's hot as hell!

So, I was taking over for our performance director this week cause she went off to get married! CONGRATS CHRISTA AND MIKE! So, that put me all in charge and shit!

Ugh, it was madness! It's hard being in an authoritive position. Whereas doing the show is physically tiring, this was mentally tiring. My brain hurt all week. Or maybe that was a hangover from all the alcohol? Who knows?

Anyway, I had a fun time. It was a great experience! Oh, and I got my own room for the weekend. YAH! Nothing better than running around the room naked! YEE HAW!

As far as Tampa, it was pretty calm. My friends Jay and Victor came into town, and they took me out around Tampa. I think I went to almost every gay bar in Tampa. OOF! So, it's nice to be back in my furry little costume, and to be able to sleep in! :)

...on Grey's Anatomy

Yah, this was my reaction to Grey's Anatomy last night! I LOVE THIS SHOW!

Our show ended at 8:30 last night, and I RAN home to watch it. It's so great! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Love it!

Grey's Anatomy - total A+!

Thoughts on hotels...

So, I've been living out of hotels for the last 3 1/2 years. I've stayed in really nice hotels - and I've stayed in really crappy hotels.

But you know what I hate? Hotels where things are extremely overpriced! Like, paying for the internet. EVERYONE uses the internet! It's like oxygen - everyone needs it! Why are you going to charge $10 a DAY for it? Seriously? That's not neccessary! I paid for it for the day - and it's SLOW! Fuckers!

The restaurants in hotels are insane, too! Like, $15 for a freaking burger. Insanity!

And must the housekeeping staff wake me up at 8 AM to clean my room?

I just don't understand! If you are thinking that most of your guests are here on vacation, DON'T wake them up early to clean their rooms! They want to sleep in! And if you think that most of your guests are here on business - DON'T charge for internet! ASSES!

Late night, double feature, picture show!

So, we found ROCKY HORROR! We are here in Tampa, and there is a movie theatre that plays RHPS every Friday night and they have the live people, too! So, Jeffo and I went after work last night and checked it out. It was cool! It was my first time with all the audience particitpation stuff! WILD! These people were pretty hardcore, and it was obvious that they check this out every week. But, I loved it. Very fun! Good times!

"Even smiling makes my face ache!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG!!!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to BLOG!

Happy Birthday to YOUUUUUU!

Happy Birthday BLOG! I started this thing up a year ago, and it is still going strong! WOO HOO! Thanks to all who waste time by reading it!

So, should I make any changes? Anything you faithful readers would like to see? Let me know!

I don't think you're ready, for this TIMMY!

Hey world of bloggers! This .... is Timmy! She fucking rocks! I met this girl when she auditioned for Sesame Street. She walked in late, but still rocked the audition! Also, her name is Timmy. Timothy acutally! Awesome, huh! Well, at the audition, we thought we were calling up a guy, then she comes up ... hilarity ensues!

Well, she got hired, and I'm on tour with her, and she rocks! She's got a great voice, and knows all SORTS of musicals! She's also a pretty fierce muppet for her first year! And she's a super cool person, too!

Yesterday, we walked around downtown Tampa exploring. There wasn't much to explore, but we had a good time, then we stuffed our faces with Indian food! Good times!

So, here is to Timmy! You go girl! No, really, you go! BYE!

And THIS week in ATLANTA, GA!

Well, this week we are in Atlanta! GO PEACHES! It's a fun place! Kinda sucks that we stayed in a downtown area - it's always seems to be filled with homeless people and a few crazies! So, kinda scary!

But, I had some friends who live here - Jon and Brad - and it was great seeing them again and hanging out. That's one of the things that I love about tour - I get to visit people that I never really get to see! I especially like this tour that I am on now, cause it is cities that I haven't been to before, so it's friends that I haven't seen in a WHILE! Check the website - I might be headed your way!

Anyway, this week was cool. I went to the Bodies exhibit, which was awesome. I saw Jon and Brad. I hung out with Shane, a girl that was on tour last year, and we had quite the adventure trying to find a gay bar! (BUY A FUCKING RAFFLE TICKET!!!)

I also got to call the show this week. Our performance director is leaving next week to go and get married, so she is passing the baton and I am filling in for her for the week. That means I get to call all the curtain cues, and take notes, and be in CHARGE! WOO HOO! Go me! HAHA!

So, that's Atlanta. We head to Tampa tomorrow to start our stint in FL for the next few weeks! And they just had an earthquake in FL! Oh lord!

LAST week in SOUTHHAVEN, MS!

Whoops! I forgot to blog about last week! Sorry!

So, we were in Southhaven, MS ... which is right down the road from MEMPHIS!! I went sightseeing around Memphis - went to the Stax Recording Studio, which is now a museum of soul music. I saw the hotel where Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot. We ate at the Arcade, which was one of Elvis' favorite places. We went to Beale Street one night - drank to celebrate Janice's birthday, and a few people got sick! Heehee! Amatures!

Anyway, had a blast in Memphis/Southhaven! WOO!

BODIES!!!

I'm a huge science geek! I loved science in school. I love going to children's museums or science centers! So, when I saw that "BODIES - The Exhibition" was in Atlanta, I was WAY excited. I had heard about this before, and I really wanted to see it.

If ya haven't heard of it, it is this awesome exhibit of real humans bodies that have been preserved and are on display to show the different systems of the body. We went and saw it this afternoon, and I must say that it was amazing. It was hard to believe that these were REAL bodies.

Here's the link to their website. It was really cool, so see if it is coming to a city near you, and if it is, CHECK IT OUT!!!

It's SO Raven!

Ok, I have a new addiction. It's the Disney Channel! For some reason, the TV always ends up on this channel at night. And I can't stop watching the rediculous shows that are on this channel!!!! I love Raven! I think a have a crush on the guy from "Phil of the Future!" UGH!

But, I did see something cool this morning. John Tartaglia is doing some little show for Playhouse Disney - which are the morning shows geared toward kids! Here's something I found on YouTube. The show is called "Johnny and the Sprites."

So, go check out the Disney Channel! It's SO Raven!

Seriously??

Ok, seriously? So, we have this joke going around on tour about these things. If you don't know what they are, they are latex fists - well, whole arms actually. They are sex toys. Oh yah, "this" goes in "there". Guys, too. Frightening, huh?

So, anyway, I'm sure alcohol was involved and now we talk about these things ALL THE TIME on tour. It's funny. I mean, if i had one of these, I'd use it to do other things. Like, knock on doors. Or to punch people in the face. Or to play rock-paper-scissors ... but I would probably lose, cause I'd always pick rock.

So, here's to fists. And all the different things you can go with them!

wanna die, makes you cry, and I did!

We all went sightseeing earlier this week. Well, before we headed home, we stopped in a little mall thing to use the restroom and check out a few shops. As we were waiting for everyone to meet back up, I got some Starbucks and sat around the fountain. Well, this little girl and her mom stopped at the fountain a few yards away from us. This little girl was obviously sick, and looked as though she had gone thru chemo. She carried with her a carryon-sized bag. I watched for a bit, and saw that she had tubes leading from under her shirt to the bag. Well, they sat down, and the mom started to open the bag, and change the girl's tubes.

It was so odd because it seemed so routine for them. The mom was even on her cell phone at times, and seemed to go through the motions without even thinking about it. The girl did look like she was in some pain, too.

As I was watching her, I just felt so sorry for her. But I was so proud of her. She seemed so courageous. I really wanted to go up to her and talk to her. I wondered how old she was. I wondered if she had friends that she hung out with, or did this limit the things that she could do. I wanted to invite her and her mom to come see our show. I wanted to give her a penny to throw into the fountain to make a wish. I just felt like I needed to do something for this girl.

Well, I almost got enough courage to do it, and walked near her. But her mom was fixing the tubes and I felt bad interrupting that. So we walked away and left. I hope that the little girl is doing well, and that she will be for many, many years. And I wish she new how much I admired her.

PHOTOSHOOT TIME!!!!

I did it. I bought a NEW digital camera. I finally got over the trauma of losing the past TWO that I had, and decided to buy another one. This one was only about $140 and then I got a memory card for it, so it ended up being about $200. Not too shabby! It's a pretty nice camera - so let's all pray that I can keep tabs on it! :)
