2007-12-31T11:07:00.000-08:00

...and here I am saying goodbye to one heck of a year. This has probably been one of the biggest years of my life... so much has happened and begun and changed and... everything!

In 2007 I:
-Graduated from High School in one of the best ceremonies EVER with the coolest group EVER
-Performed in a musical for the first time
-Got to play one of my dream roles
-Finally got to dance onstage
-Saw Wicked
-Moved away and was out on my own for the first time
-Said goodbye to some of the best people in the world
-Met some of the best people in the world
-Traveled to states I had never been to before
-Learned to knit
-Saw the most beautiful bride in history in the wedding that I was a Bridesmaid in and became a Brother-in-law through
-Cried
-Laughed
-Discovered my inner hippie
-Got a job on my own
-Witnessed my first ice storm in Texas!
-Found my twin!
-Fessed up to some things
-Discovered my love for photography and rediscovered my love for musical theatre!
-Went airborn in my thunderbird! (only for a little bit)
-Realized how ignorant I am about a LOT of stuff and how I need to think more
-Visted New Orleans
-Realized how deprived our nation is spiritually
-Was introduced to the Winnie-the-Pooh books and Chai Tea
-Discovered/was introduced to the phenomenons that are Breaking Benjamin, Lena Horne, Peggy Lee, A. A. Milne, and Donald Miller
-learned a LOT

I know that these past several months I haven't kept up or in touch with people that mean a lot to me, and I regret that. I want to put forth a bigger effort to do that this next year. God has blessed me so, so immensly with and through the relationships that I have- both old and new. I'm truly humbled at the fact that I can call you my friends.
I'm realizing more and more that I am nowhere close to where I should be spiritually. God has taught me so, so much this last year and blessed me in more ways than I can even see, but I realize that I havent put forth the effort to be the person He would have me be or know Him like I should. What gets me is that even though I act like anything BUT a child of God, He hasn't given up on me. By this time next year, I would love to be able to say that I am truly walking with God.Glory be to God in the highest.

"Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel You
I need to hear You
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place
Where I find peace again

You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life
To my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything

And how can I stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would You tell me how could it be
Any better than this

You calm the storms
And You give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You steal my heart
And You take my breath away
Would You take me in
Would You take me deeper, now

And how can I stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would You tell me how could it be
Any better than this

Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
Everything, everything...

When how can I stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would you tell me how could it be Any better than this
Would You tell me how could it be Any better than this...."

Happy New Year, ya'll ;)

As my laundry is currently in the dryer... drying, I thought I would give an update. (I thought I was beginning to develop good updated habits, but apparently not lol)

New Orleans was great! We drove down Saturday morning, got lost (and in turn got a "scenic" look at the slums of the city lol), arrived at the church, ate lunch, then did a workout/mime workshop. It was really interesting (in a good way lol). That night we all crashed on airbeds in one of the fellowship halls (I guess you could call it). The next day we went to church and did some sightseeing. Then of course we got lost on the way home! lol But it was really a lot of fun. We told scary stories on the ride home *muahaha*

So Labor Day! I spent the evening having dinner at a Belhaven Alumni's house, playing Apples to Apples, then capping the night off at Faith's house with some Chai Tea and reading Winnie the Pooh. hehe It's so amazing- this group of theatre majors (Faith, Kailen, Rachel, and Brandon) get together a couple night's a week and dramatically read/narrate books and poetry!! It's so cool.. They inducted me into the club and I got to read for Eeyore that night. Then last wednesday, we started Peter Pan and Wendy :D It is so, so much fun. I've really been blessed by getting to know and have them as friends. They've really made me feel welcome and "at home" here. And I've discovered that Brandon and I are twins. We both love Bernadette Peters, Madalyn Kahn, The Muppets, Foster's home for imaginary friends, musicals, and are indecisive. hehe it's fun.

Last Friday night was the Joshua Squad's Masquerade Ball!! hehe I went as a flamingo :> after the rehearsal I had that night, I went and picked Faith up to take her to the ball cause she needed a ride. So we so-to-speak- "went together"... Well the time of the night came for the prizes to be awarded... Kailen (a cat) and Brandon (a ficus tree) won Best Masked Couple, and then.... *dun dun dun* Faith and I got Cutest Couple (ironic because we arent a couple lol) It was really wierd that we four got the awards lol It was fun :D

God is so, so good. I'm continually blown away by the way He blesses and cares for me... and in SO many ways... I love how He has drawn me closer to Him this past month. I hope that continues...

Anyway- I'm going to go check on my laundry. If I dont post pictures on here, I'll upload them onto photobucket so everyone can see them all. I wanna take some pictures of my room too so I'll plaster those on here too....

I love and miss you all!!!!!!!!

Ooh da la leh! Alot has happened since I last posted!!
Classes are going very well so far. Not TOO much homework yet, and in some I'm ahead with the assignments (as I found out today), so that's always good! lol I really enjoy all my professors (some more than others, but enjoyable non-the-less) lol My favorites is definatly Dr. Lou though (he teaches biomechanics). He's such a classy, fun gentleman, and his insight is so incredible. I'm thinking about auditing Biomechanics for my next three years lol It's so much fun.
and for those of you who are confused as to what Biomechanics is, it's a class focusing on the body and how to use it as a performer. It covers detailed anatomy, posture, breathing, massage technique, acrobatics, stage combat, fencing, trapeze work (!!!), and really just learning about God's design for our bodies and how to properly take care of them. Even if it is at 8:00 in the morning, it's more than worth it. (And everyone will get an occipital scrub when I see you again! hehe be afraid :D)
This last Friday I went and auditioned for the music department's production of The Gondoliers by Gilbert and Sullivan (same guys who did The Pirates of Penzance). The initial audition was for singing, then the call backs dealt with acting and how well our voices "meshed" with each other. I ended up getting a call back, and going back on Monday and Tuesday. After the session on Tuesday, Dr. Shelt (the prof. heading it up) announced the cast list and...... *dun dun* I GOT THE PART OF LUIZ!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a supporting role, and I'm technically only in two scenes, but the character has alot of significance in the play and I get to sing a love duet!!! I am SO excited!!! It's so humbling and exciting at the same time to see what God can do... I'm so grateful to Him :D We had the read-through of the script last night, and we start rehearsals on Tuesday, so I'll probably be posting about them...
OOH!! One more thing! This weekend, I'm going to New Orleans with the Joshua Squad!! We're going to meet members of a differenct sect of the squad, workout, perform (I THINK), sight-see etc. It should be a lot of fun. Dr. Lou and several other of my friends from the theatre dept. are going. I'll take/post pics when we get back!
Anyway! Sorry for the long post here!! lol
I love and miss you all!!!!

So last night deserves a post.

2007-08-23T09:03:00.001-07:00

So get this: After dinner a group of us went to the Caldwell dorm lobby to play spoons and watch a movie. Well, eventually someone turned The Ring on, and Amy, Abigail, Erin, Alex and I didnt want to watch it so we ended up sitting in the conference room in the student center (very nice room, btw) watching The Little Mermaid!!!! It was amazing :D hehe We all sang along to some of the songs and talked about Ariel's hair. It was so much fun :D
I just got back from my English Composition class in which I found out I may be moved to an 8am class instead because the group is so big lol goody goody............
anyway- just had to tell everyone about last night :D hehe
off to Choir!
Love ya'll

2007-08-22T13:25:00.000-07:00

well, I'm bored so I thought I'd post.
Today is the last day of our fresheman orientation!! Classes start tomorrow at 9:25 for me! I THINK I've got everything squared away.
Yesterday we had a road trip to Twin Lakes and a night of bowling (got a 96!!). Afterwards a group of us hung out in the student center for a while learning a hip hop routine just for the heck of it lol pretty cool...
So today I've been gettting some last minute things out of the way for classes tomorrow, just finished plugging in the fridge in my room, and I'm currenly updating this and watching a corny Pops cereal commercial on the TV next to me!! woot! lol Been getting a little homesick, especially in the mornings and right before I go to bed, but I'm doing ok :D I think it'll get better once classes start and I get more into a definate schedule.
OOH! And auditions for the Gondoliers operetta are this Friday!!
Also today there were abunch of tables set up in the student center representing the different organizations around campus and all. I signed up for a swing/ballroom dance club called "Phi Theta Swinga' " and the Joshua Squad which is a theatre ministry club delving into mime/physical theatre. It looks SO cool!! There's a "boot camp" for the squad this Saturday that I'm going to go to, so I'll be writing about that no doubt. lol
I think I'll finish my pop tart then do some reading....
love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!

So! This is my first post pertaining to my life as a Blazer/havenite (as we are called). I'll do my best not to bore anyone with these posts lol

Anyway! Yesterday was an ice cream social for all the theatre majors (freshman and returning students). It was very enlightening and encouraging to know that there are other people on this campus who randomly talk in funny voices, burst forth into song, and give each other big bear hugs when they see each other. I'm so, so excited to start my theatre classes and get to know them better. Afterwards the RAs lead a worship/prayer service in the chapel (apparently a BLAZE tradition). Then in the flex theatre (short for flexible theatre) we all watched Spiderman 3 on a big screen that was set up. It was pretty sweet :D

When I bought my textbooks today, I discovered that those of us in the Theatre Biomechanics class get to wear these amazing uniforms:

(I apologize for the urinals in the background lol) I've pretty much decided that I'll be wearing it outside of class as well...
*funky french accent* It makes me feel seeexy...

hehe Anyway- I'm off to the square dance soon (you've GOT to love Belhaven), and tomorrow we have a road trip to Twin Lakes... at 8:30 in the morning. lol fun fun fun
love ya'll

I miss a Century of Broadway.
egad, do I miss it.
I miss all the fast costume changes, I miss doing the warm-ups before the show started, I miss waiting in the wings to do Steam Heat, I miss hearing the audience cheer when we struck our pose in "one", I miss the sign language in "All Good Gifts", I miss putting my handcuffs on at the back of the auditorium before "Ragtime", I miss hearing the middle schoolers sing "Hair" while I was franctically changing into my phantom costume, I miss seeing Nicole and Shelley waiting to come on stage as we were exiting after ragtime, I miss walking up the steps and through the curtains into the blinding light as we began the opening medley, I miss the jazz squares, I miss seeing PT posed at the top of the stairwell right before "Beautiful Mornin", I miss all the pizza lunch breaks, I miss the intermissions....
I miss hanging out backstage with my fellow cast members :'( *sigh*
lol sorry guys... I was just reminiscing this morning about the play and realized just how much I miss it....
But there will be others! And there will be others with Ya'll, I know ;)

Anyway! Joey says "hi" to everyone! lol
I love you guys ;)

So its been a week since our second performance of the show...
Everyone join me in commemoration by lighting a candle from 7 - 10 pm!

I cant believe it went so quick. I keep taking mental double takes and realizing that we performed. Especially yesterday when we didnt rehearse anything from the show... well, except maybe "One" lol I cant believe that the next play I do will be in college. *sigh* It feels weird to not be going to Grace Point everyday anymore. I miss it......

On to happier things!!

Shelley, Rachel, Hannah, Sally and I all sat upstairs and talked for an hour and a half yesterday. That was really a lot of fun :)

So today! I got to walmart to pick up a few things right? shouldnt take more than half an hour right?
well thats what you would THINK!!
I mosey up to the register to pay, feel for my wallet in my back pocket, and remember that it is still in my bag at home!
SO! I drive home very carefully, get it, rush back to wally world and pay for my stuff!
on back to home, right?
WRONG!
I get out into the parking lot and realize that I forgot to pick up some vitamins for my mom!
I then proceed to drive around to the OTHER entrance of Walmart so they wont recognize me, go in and get the vitamins, use the SELF checkout, and THEN i go home.
and I wonder why I dont have enough time to do school!

lol anway...
I had the time of my life with you all the last two weeks. I'm gonna take those memories with me to college and beyond. I love you guys so much :)

This week is the beginning of a CRAZY four weeks!!! To start, at the end of this week, we have a chili dinner fundraiser for our mission trip, then the next day a full run through of the play (meaning I have to sing Music of the Night *gulp*). THEN- next week Andy and I go see Flyleaf/Skillet at the White Rabbit (thus nearly completing my "Must-see-live" list), then ANOTHER rehearsal the next day!! THEN!!!! The next saturday my family takes me to see WICKED!!!!! then the NEXT week is the beginning of every day rehearsals!! Then friday is Prom!!! then a week later is the performance!!! (anybody have butterflies about that like I do???) lol

aaanyway...somewhere in all that I need to do some school lol

God is so, so good. He never lets go of my hand, no matter how many wrong doors I am opening with it. No matter how many times I stab Him in the back, He never turns it to me. He understands every tear and temptation. He is so, so good...

And concerning my last post... I have no idea why I posted that, other than I needed a new post to republish my blog and abunch of changes I made..and I just needed to get it out of my system I guess... I wasnt digging for compliments i swear! lol But thanks for the encouragement ;)

There was a period of like 5 months I think that I wasnt sure if I was doing the right thing going into Theatre. Sad thing is, it was during A Midsummer Night's Dream. I dont know why I felt like that. It may have been the meds I was on (being that one of the side effects was "loss of interest in things once enjoyed").
God has reassured me that I'm doing the right thing. I had such a peace the other night about it. Broadway may not be what He has planned for me, it may just be an ambission for me. But I know that He wants me in theatre somewhere.
And I know that with His power, it is possible. Because of His grace, it is possible.

soo...i guess i should update this thing huh? lol

I went to bed at 8:30 last night. I havent done that since preschool. ...I guess drama wiped me out.lol I slept till bloody 10:00 this morning. I seriously didnt mean to to do that....
Speaking of drama!! We learned the choreography to "One" yesterday!!! It is going to look so cool with all of us doing it together! I cant wait. I love that dance... I'm looking forward to the Saturday rehearsals. I always love those. And someone remind me to remind everyone to warm up and stretch before we practice it again! My legs were killing me last night and we didnt even do the high kicks lol
I dont know what I'm going to do next year without CSDC...ore more the people a part of it. *sigh*

I'm hoping that the first play I do in college is either Into the Woods or A Chorus Line. ...course I hear there is some pretty randy stuff in ACL, and Into the Woods has some *cough* suggestions lol BUT they can be edited out I guess...Ohwell I'm just dreaming lol

...anyway- off to do laundry and errands and school and...school lol

I LOVE YOU GUYS

2007-01-01T11:18:00.000-08:00

and here are some of the lessons I've learned throughout 2006:

- Be nice. It matters.

- Dont judge people. You are like them in some way or other.

- Prayer is priceless

- Dont take God for granted

- Swearing and stereotyping have no purpose

- Dont be afraid to sing out loud, dance randomly, worship God, or fight for what you love

- Stop and think before you act

- "Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same"

- You never know when or where you will meet a stranger again

- Take the plunge

- God has not given us a spirit of fear

- Bad days happen

- You never know who is watching you

- Admitting something that is true about yourself is not pride

- Dont think you are better then anyone else

- Dont be afraid to be the person God has made you to be, but be sure to examine yourself through His eyes.

- You arent always right

- Peanut butter and music cannot be overrated

- Dont be afraid to seek forgiveness

- Never sacrifice morals/principles for the sake of art

- Be respectful

- Be humble

- Blue October isnt all bad

- Spriritual warfare is very real

- REPRESENT CHRIST!!!

Its my prayer that you all grow closer to Christ and take another step closer this year to becoming who He has planned you to be. Alot of things will change, but He never will.

I LOVE YOU GUYS

so I havent posted on here in a while. a long while lol oops :D

Thanksgiving was fun :D I got up and watched the parade all the way through for the first time ever. I'm gonna start doing that every year. it was cool. Then we went out to my *get ready for this* sister's boyfriend's parent's house and had seafood for lunch lol It was nice. They live on this huge hill and have this deck (complete with hot tub) where we ate lunch that overlooks the valleys and all. Pretty sweet. Then that night we went to the Miller's house for the rest of the evening. So much fun. I always enjoy hanging out with you guys. I love ya'll so much you have no idea. I see God's spirit in each and every one of you. it blows me away...

And dare I say that if you offer a police officer an oreo, he won't take it unless you have some milk with it too.

Then today we went and had a picnic and explored the tealess tea gardens in SA. heehee another tradition in the making :D

so get this- my sister wants PT and I to stand on her side during her hypothetical wedding as bride attendents. So my dad and basically every other guy envovled with this hypothetical wedding (besides PT and I) is in an slight uproar about it because its the bride's side and a guy standing on that side apparently isnt proper and traditional. So when my mom mentioned that, I almost started shaking I was so mad. That hasnt happened in a while. So what if it isnt "manly" to stand on the Bride's side??!?!? She's my sister and if she wants me to stand on her side I'm going to do it. Screw it if it makes me look gay and untraditional. Is doing that going to make me any less of a man? I am so fricken sick of the attitude every other guy has around here that if you are doing something slightly different besides playing football or hunting, you're either gay or a wimpy momma's boy.
so this whole thing goes slightly deeper than just the bride attendent issue as you can see...

anyway- im done griping. Im going to bed now

I've pretty much set my heart on doing the "Red Baron" monologue from "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" then I'm gonna start working on "send in the clowns" for my 'contrasting' piece/song. I think the audition is just for scholarship money...It might be for admitance into the Theatre department too though... I have no clue how all this college stuff works.....

Howdy Folks...
I am currently sitting in the soundbooth at my church running the soundboard for the worship rehearsal, and the high speed internet connected to the computor next to me was too tempting lol

Last night I got out of the shower and decided to try and shoot my own headshots for my acting resume. So at 1:30 in the morning I am sitting in front of a white wall next to my front door with my black Shinedown shirt and boxers on with the digital camera snapping pictures...yah, my mom thought the whole thing was pretty funny... :/ no on understands an artist :P I got a few good ones so maybe I can save some money by not having to have them done professionally... I'll see what Mrs Miller thinks of them...
(dont think me vain...I dont exactly like taking pictures of myself :P lol)

And I might be the "guy in charge" concerning the soundboard here for about 6 months. My ''boss" needs a break from it really bad, so I might take over for him for a while...not saying what will come of the worship, but it will be intersting lol :P

less than a week till Evanescence, Skillet, and Pillar release their newest albums...and till the Little Mermaid comes out on DVD....yes I've been counting it down :D heeheehee

anyway- back to soundmixing...

talk about nastalgia.... I stayed home from church today because I wasnt feeling too hot, and somehow I ended up watching "Mister Roger's Neighborhood". Every early morning that I spent at my Grandma's house way, way back when came stampeding back with that song he sings when he puts on his sweater and changes his shoes, with those little puppets (whose mouths, i discovered, never move), and with the trolly dude... all I need now is some homemade macaroni and cheese and jeapordy....*sigh* I miss my grandma :)

We have the windows open here. Oh my word.... I almost cant say how much I love it when the windows are open. Makes me want to go frolic around the neighborhood...

And the maize officially opened yesterday. Its going to be an interesting year... every year, the poeple who go through the maize say that this year's is the hardest one yet.... but this year I truly believe that it is. When I went out to give the corn cops a lunch break, the customers thought I was joking with them when I said I had no clue where they were...or where I was for that matter.....yah....should be very very interesting lol

this is from the storms last night. I wish I could have caught the full thing. It was so cool to see the lightning again.

On Friday night, Mrs Miller gave a seminar about college and going into Theatre for the seniors . I think I took some 5 or 6 pages worth of notes... lol it was so much fun though... it hasnt fully started to sink in that next year everything will be different, but at the same time, this is when we go out and make what we have been dreaming about come true... no more "when I grow up I wanna be", because its time to make it happen

and with that...I am going to go type up all those notes for my fellow seniors who didnt make it Friday night *cough*anna*cough* lol

I love you guys

"Knew you were here
Sister confirms suspsicion
Beside the note you left on my bed
Where I held you close
Did you think I'd forget?"

I am small and the world is big...

so I took the plunge and joined the whole "blogger" cult thing going on here lol

I like it when I'm the only one up. One of the perks of being nocturnal. The whole house is quiet heehee The only con is that I cant sing crazy or at the top of my lungs...yah that might not go over well with the ones who actually SLEEP around here....and the infomercials are always more annoying at night for some reason...guess I could turn the TV off lol

Drama was today...I love thursdays...the day is so jam packed, but I love every minute of it. I'm dragging at the end, but its the kind of dragging I love. The kind of dragging you get from doing something you love. hehe I'm getting frustrated with our One-act though...I cant get my dialogue down..I think I just need to study it some more....

I took this pic the other day:

showing my emo/gothic/loner side lol It was interesting taking that pic with cars driving by and all... especially since thats not my house :P

anyway- I think I might try to go get some sleep and try to get rid of this soar throat...(dont get panicked if I was around you today...I think its just from drainage from allergies...or....something like that thats not contagious lol)

I Love you guys
