I don't care if it's not January 1st. I'm done with this livejournal. So goodbye ALL.

See you or not.

and Happy Holidays. Hope everyone gets what they want.

The point of the game?

Guess who this man is, and why I must find him out...(Hint: Don't think to hard, it's part of the entry theme of the day.)

Someone finally posted another Anita Morris Clip on Youtube and I'm posting it for all to see. She how GREAT this woman was. And during the song her skirt comes undone and she totally plays it out.



and for fun:



You only need to watch the first 40 secs.

Only Six more days until I'm done with this journal for good. So if you wanna friend me through eccentriciguana now is your chance.

Thank You.

Other than that, I have a couple resolutions this year:

1. Keep a written journal
2. Write a play or two or three or etc.
3. Start a savings account and donate part of my paycheck into and just forget about it until the time comes.
4. Go to India/China next year with Brooklyn College

Lastly, my friend accidentally gave me this CD, the Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World. I LOVE IT!!! I so want to grow old and eccentric...or just eccentric, fuck old to this music. Dance around like the old lady in Great Expectations.

Well my parents did it as usual.

They made me want to go back to the city.

Granted of all the little discussions, this was bar far the least awful. I guess it's nice that we got it out of the way now. As opposed to when my dad usually brings it up on holidays. Like Christmas Morning or something.

But it made me want to flee from The Hills We Call Burnt as quickly as possible. It also brought up some anxieties I usually get when stressed.

In  the end it ended okay...but alas it always happens.

• Christmas Shopping

Such a stressful time of year...hardly.

I'm going home...

Well at 3:30 my journey begins!!

It's so funny. Most people I know are home for 3-4 weeks, I'm home for five days. I'm still thrilled, I HOPE I get Judy Garland's TV show on DVD. Or a Vacuum. Maybe a video game or something.

Today I finished Tennessee Williams Memoirs and that man was my dream. Which is easy to say seeing as he died and I would never have to fear him rejecting me if I had the chance. He really wrote a pure and honest memoir of his life, even though he left out some items that I wish I could know more about. What I don't like is in the end they have an afterward where basically a critic who reviewed it in the 70s basically says, "If you want to read about TW's life then you'll be satisfied."

What upsets me is, why wouldn't it be about his life? You don't write your memoirs and discuss your plays in it. He discussed them in the way he wanted to and said, "I feel the plays speak for themselves." That was contentment enough for me.

Did I mention I'm going home!!!

I am done with my first semester at Brooklyn College!!!

Finals are ALL done!!! I am don't know whether I passed the last one, my computer science final, but I should be fine as far as the class goes.

Kiki and Herb were amazing. I have never seen someone control a drunk audience SO well. They were silent during her numbers. It was amazing. Amazing! Amazing!

Funny little note of the day: We got to drink Scotch at work...Such is the life os a financial printer.

At work without my boss here, and just three male straight male workers and ME. They like to make fun of me, I keep a smile on my face and let it come. I got my youth I suppose.

Right now they're talking about Miss Teen America and tell me that I can't drink cause I'm not of age. Then they tell me I need to bring in malt liquor cause I'm the new guy.

Yes folks, this is what financial printers do. At least when there is down time.

In other news:

1998 The new musical Parade, directed by Hal Prince, opens today, starring Carolee Carmello and Brent Carver. Jason Robert Brown composed the music and lyrics, and Alfred Uhry wrote the book. The plot concerns the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish man wrongly accused of murder and lynched by an angry Atlanta mob in 1915. Parade will go on to win Tony Awards for Best Score and Best Book of a Musical. It is named Best Musical by the New York Drama Critics Circle, but runs just 85 performances.

and yes Spamalot is STILL running...and the Producers long after the thrill has passed.

Is Christmas only a week away? Is the first semester really over? Is it really going to be 2007? Is this livejournal really coming to a close? Where is the time going? Honestly.

The answer to all those questions is YES by the way.

I should be studying for finals, but I'm not instead I'm writing this entry.

smartypantsnyc has prompted (and encouraged me) into trying to write a play. For those of you who don't know me well. When I was younger I used to be an avid writer. I loved writing horror novels. I know ridiculous right? I find solace in the grotesque and the obscene. I wrote a Scream-esque trilogy and a Nightmare on Elm Street-ish murder Fest...it was titled Phobia. This is from 7th through 9th grade. So for three years straight I took my writing seriously.

What threw me off that path? Simple answer. Grammar.

I've never been good with editing. It always was my downfall. Not that I'm not good at taking criticism, I just can't edit my writing well. At the time it seemed like to be a writer you needed to be well versed in that side of it too. So I put it aside and looked to other things in life. I've always wanted to write a play. I don't even know if I can.

So in 2007 that's going to be my new project. To try my hand at play writing. I am going to see where it takes me. I have ideas often. Like my idea for the opera based on my apartment situation. When I return home I am going to pick up a notebook to develop ideas and such. We shall see.

I may start off writing some one-acts and see where it takes me. Maybe to get myself into the mood. I will just let it happen really. Let it flow...my life motto.
