Chances

Hey everyone. How was your Sunday? I hope it was good because mine was. I collected my tips from my night of hell at work and whenever I saw I made 94 dollars I realized it was worth it. Cash in hand is one of the best feelings in the world. Then instant it hits my pocket and my pocket starts burning isn't nearly as great though. I'm an online browsing addict. I'd call myself a shopping addict but I don't buy anything. Stingy I guess.

Anyway, tonight's blog will start with my review of the musical.

I'll be brutally honest, I usually hate musicals. I hadn't been to one in a long while until Friday night. I had a great time though. I enjoyed seeing all the kids I know in major roles. It made the show much, much better. Going in I had no idea what to expect. One of my best friends in the lead role? Is this a sick joke? Of all of us Dave would be the one who could do it. Dave is always taking on other personalities, some of which are more friendly than others.

I had been accustomed to Dave leading our team on the soccer field but he played the same role in the play. He did great, simply amazing. It was funny looking up there hearing him use a voice so much different  than his usual one. He played the role perfectly and I was truly impressed.

Aside from Dave I was impressed with Vaughn's performance. Vaughn is a kid I've come to know through English class and he's a really cool kid. His work in the play is only surpassed by his ability to write. He has a natural talent for writing. His writing is more detailed and beautiful than mine. He writes great fictional work and I can't wait until he's famous for it one day. His dancing and singing in the musical showed he isn't just a one trick pony, rather a master of several arts. I applaud his performance.

Aside from Dave and Vaughn I was amazed by Ryan Borgo. Kid has mad talent. Nothing else to say really.

I'm glad I decided to go to the musical because I saw a different type of hard work. The kids in the musical worked hard to put on a great show. Being in the musical and playing on the football team aren't all that different. Both have their own "season," both require determination and hours of practice, both are physically demanding. I give Dave, Erin, and anyone else who had to sing alone on stage the utmost respect. Doing what they did is impressive. Singing in front of friends, family, and the community must be nerve wracking. I know kicking was. Those two are kind of similar in a way...kicking and singing. They're both a time where the outside factors are limited and it's you and your talent against the world. A missed kick or a botched song, both humiliating in their own respects. I have a lot more respect for kids in the musical after what I saw. Bravo.
