An oldie, but a goodie...

I feel this is still an appropriate poem...

...sleep deprived nights...

I try to sleep but it’s no use
My eyelids don’t want to close
If they do, I lay there, still
Wishing I knew what it is to dream

My sleep deprived nights
Keep my body feeling numb
To the pain I feel inside
And the fear that I call night

Is wanting sleep too much to ask
Laying there staring at the dark
With thoughts running around my mind
Of nothing and everything at the same time

How did I get so cursed
To want the impossible so badly
To daydream of dreams
Wondering how wonderful they are

And with just one little pill
Everything could be alright
For just one night
If I got to rest my eyes

Free time...

Weird...
I have free time at night again.

It is taking some adjusting as it hasn't really set in...I've had plans every night since the show closed. Haha. Granted that was only Saturday, but still, you get the point.

My "free time" is quickly becoming booked up. I guess that happens when your friends/family don't see you for a month and half, eh?

Anywho, this was just a quick post to say that I am available for some hang out time...if I'm available. Haha!

Till next time!

Poem for my niece...

Annabelle Mia

Always such a joy
Never a bother
Nestled in our hearts instantly
Around her is the family so
Beautiful and full of love
Everlasting care and devotion
Lovely little angel
Laughs so adorably
Even the night sky brightens

Mother and father so proud
In their arms she will stay
Always and forever

Whew...

I love you because is almost over.

This is both a good thing and a bad/sad thing. It is good cause I will have my nights free again and I will be able to have more time to do homework and things of the like.

It is bad cause I will miss this cast/crew a lot. Having done so many shows, I have learned that casts come and go and that I tend to not get attached so easily, but this cast/crew is different. It is a small cast and I have bonded with them all. It will be a sad thing not seeing them every day, but I know I shall see them all again soon.

So, that being said, I am doing well in my classes. My geography of California class is quite pleasing. I am learning all sorts of good info on where I live and I like it. My public speaking class and my English classes are both going well. Just a lot of typing of papers, etc.

I am thinking I am going to try and get my Theatre Arts AA degree next semester as I only need 4 more classes in that field, along with a lab science. Once I have the AA degree, I should be able to transfer to a University. I'm looking at SDSU and UNLV (University of Nevada, Las Vegas). We shall see what actually happens.

I might still do the culinary school thing once I get my AA. I thought I had all of this figured out, but then I had to go and do a show again and now I have that theatre bug running around in my head again. Damn bug. It'll never go away. Haha.

I thought about getting a BA in Theatre and possibly teaching drama somewhere...but I also still want my culinary experience...ugh...damn theatre bug. It shall never go away. Haha.

Well, I'll be posting a lot more now that I will be having some free time again soon.
Till then, Thanks for reading and I'll see ya'll later!

Random thought...

Sometimes you feel like a nut...
Sometimes you don't.
Almond Joy's got nuts...
Mounds don't.

Does that mean Almond Joy is boy and Mounds is a girl?

My busy life...

Whew...
My life is pretty busy right now and it isn't gonna slow down for a couple months. I am currently a full time student, full time employee and I'm doing a show (I Love You Because at Grossmont College [more on this subject to follow]).

Just so you have an idea of a week in my shoes, here is my week broken down:

My get out of bed time for work days is 5:30am and school days is 7:30am.

Mon: Work 7:00am-4:00pm, Rehearsal 6:30pm-9:30pm
Tue: School 9:30am-5:15pm, Rehearsal 6:30pm-9:30pm
Wed: Work 7:00am-4:00pm, Rehearsal 6:30pm-9:30pm

Sat: Work 7:00am-4:00pm
Sun: Work 7:00am-4:00pm

Plus, I have to find time to do my homework and watch LOST, etc...

It's a crazy ride right now, and I am glad to be on it.
Look for my next post real soon to tell you all about I Love You Because...
Till then. Adios!

Oh Friday...

This is the first Friday for me that is like a Monday.
Since I am back in school on Tuesday's and Thursday's, I have to fill up those days by working the weekends. Since this is my first week of doing that, today feels like Monday...but it's Friday! Ugh...I gotta do what I gotta do, but why must that include working on the weekedns?!
*sigh*

Harvard on the Hill...

Grossmont college. It's a wonderful land of knowledge and friendships. I feel blessed to be walking amongst these halls again. Especially cause I know I won't be here off and on like I have been in the past. I intend on being in and out, only when I leave this time, I will be holding a few degrees. Granted they will all be AA degrees, but I will still have all three of them. I will also be ready to transfer to finish up my Bachelor's degree.

My school schedule is not too trying this semester, but I am going with what the counselor advised for my plan.

I have class on Tuesday's and Thursday's:
9:30am-10:45am-Geography of California
12:30pm-1:45pm-Public Speaking
4:00pm-5:15pm-English 120

All the while, I will be working full time, 7:00am-4:00pm, on all my other days of the week, including the weekends.

I am determined to finish this time, no matter how long it takes. I hope it doesn't take too long though ;^]

Gotta pack up my computer for now as it looks like it is about to rain. More for another time! Adios!

A night at the movies...

I went and saw Avatar in 3D last night. I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Pandora is a beautiful world that James Cameron brought to life very well. I do agree with most of my friends that saw the film that said it was "like an adult fern gully, etc." The story is pretty generic as far as man v. nature goes, but while being a similar plot line, I thought the way it was portrayed was very well done. The cinematography was great. I thought the acting was very good. Overall I would give the film a 4 of 5 stars. Thank you Mr. Cameron for creating such a beautiful world for me to escape to for a few hours!

Life in general...a positive perspective

Life, as a whole, is pretty good right now.
Examples:
I am alive and healthy.
I have a steady job.
I have a car that works.
I have a great family.
I have a beautiful niece, Annabelle.
I have lots of awesome friends.
I have a roof over my head.
I have an awesome cat, Chase McGuff.
I am going back to school.
I am working out on a regular basis.
I am losing weight.
Lots of things are going well. Just wanted to spread the joy.
If things are looking down for you, just hang in there, you can make a change and make it right! My life is far from perfect, but I'm living it!
Love to all! Enjoy the days to come and make them yours!
