The Internet Is For Porn

Everyone's a little bit racist, and what can you do with a BA in English? I've learned that some people may think I'm a little crazy right now. Others will know I'm talking about Avenue Q.

Avenue Q tells the story of Princeton, a college graduate who has found himself looking for purpose in his life. Finding himself at the bottom of the ladder of life, he and his new found friends of Avenue Q, slowly, but surely drag themselves up out of the rut, and on to a better life, if only for now.

To say it lived up to my expectations would be an understatement. It totally redefined them. Naturally, it was hilarious from start to finish, and the "Adult Sesame Street" theme was very clear throughout, and helped to break up the story, and add a different dimension to the humour.

That being said, it was also a very endearing, and a touching story, a story of friendship, love and discovery. I didn't really think about it much at the time, but looking back, all this was achieved, for the most part, with puppets. I almost shed a tear at one point, over what can only be described as a stuffed fur bag.

The production was clever, and intuitive, including the entire audience in parts of the production which would otherwise be blocked from view for those in the cheap seats. It took me two hours to get there, more than three hours to get back, and I almost got lost in the center of London, but it was worth every minute.

Going to the Street

Well, the Avenue to be more precise... or Avenue Q. That's right. Tomorrow I'm off to London to see Avenue Q, and I am really looking forward to it. I'll be sure to report back.

To close this brief entry, I just want to give a personal shout out to a friend of mine, who is going through a rough time right now. You know who you are, and you know I'm here for you buddy.

New Entry - Less Than A Week Later

So its been a bizarre week to say the least. Like last time, I wont talk about the bad, only about the resolutions made. Sorry to say, nothing resolved yet, which is frustrating. One way or another it will be resolved by the end of the week. No more to be said there.

So I want to say Happy Thanksgiving to my friends in the USA. Hope you have a good day, and try not to get yourself killed on Black Friday :D I know I almost did last year when I was in Indiana.

So, with the above problems in mind, I've spent a lot of my time spending time with friends, until the issues are resolved. It's been good to catch up with old friends, and make some new ones as the case maybe.... who has apparently been sexing me up. At least so others would apparently believe. :p

So anyway, thats my week. I have a gig on the 1st which I have some preparing to do, and a really busy Christmas ahead, so I will get back to you all later.

Ciao

New direction

Oh... hi there... you're still here? I thought you would have left by now... hm

So there is tons of stuff going on right now... some good... some bad.

Lets start with some good.

I'm always keen to inject myself into different circles of people. Sometimes they go well, sometimes not. I love to meet new people, which is why I travel so much, but its really great when you meet people online, because you dont have to wait until next year to meet back up with them to see how they are doing. I just signed up to Stickam recently, and started throwing myself into the chat rooms, and its been an experience. I haven't been in a chat room for years, probably since I was about 15, so it was interesting to see how the way chat rooms are used as a whole havent changed. For people to perv, and get a cheap thrill. I did however find a room with strict rules against this, and the people in there are really nice, and I've quickly developed friendships, which I hope will continue to develop. I could talk forever about how cool some of these people are, but I wont bore you.

More good.

I'm going to see Avenue Q in a couple of weeks. :D If you don't know what it is, check it out at www.avenueqthemusical.co.uk. I've been wanting to see this for a while now, and I am very excited about finally getting there. I'll report back with my thoughts.

End of the good.

I'm not going to really talk about the bad, except that I cant make it out to Indianapolis this year, which kinda sucks. As for the rest of the bad, I'll ride it out, and see what happens, and let you know what it does.

Ciao for now
