Rent

I just finished watching the musical Rent on DVD. I have to say that it opens really nicely. I love the song and its lyrics. The cast is excellent and I like how it feels like a huge family. They all have their problems concerning poverty, AIDS and drug abuse.

I think the movie is too long and there are some parts where I felt bored or wanting to fast forward. My least favorite part of the movie is Maureen's protest. Her voice is terrible and whatever the hell she was doing just annoyed me. She would switch around from talking to singing. It drove me nuts! Pick something, lady! Later on though she becomes more tolerable. I like her partner, Joanne. She has a job, and whoever plays her sure knows how to sing!! Wow, what a voice! I think she has the best voice out of the entire cast. Another character I like is Angel. The reason for this is because she's a free spirit. She believes in love and helps spread it to those she cares about. Her pre-mature death displays the sad truth and consequences of AIDS/HIV victims. It's probably the most touching moment of the film where I even found myself tearing up a bit.

The songs themselves shifted to rock songs, rock opera, pop rock, pop and well I can't remember. All I know is that the music sounds great and the cast members give a powerful performance. The lyrics are very well written and let us understand the struggles of being poor or living in a tainted world.

Overall, Rent is a solid movie that shows you what modern society has done to man. It has created problems when there shouldn't be any.

Hey hey!

It's been a while since I've posting on this thing of mine. Sorry about that. I'll be sure to keep myself updated with new entries. I need to touch up on my writing and expression of thought if I want to make it in life.

Changed layout!

Seeing as I'm in happier times, I decided to change the layout to a bright forest green. Somewhat of a rebirth... you know Spring? lol.

Ahh... forgot about this thing.

But that's okay! It's not like something important was happening in my life, oh wait, that's not true! I'm in college now. :) I guess I made it after all. What a relief too. The summer and fall were both extremely difficult for me. I was depressed, unmotivated, scared... D: I think the only reason why I didn't go completely nuts is thanks to my boyfriend. He was there the entire time, by my side, comforting me. He told me that everything would be okay. He held me when I needed to be held and cheered me up 24/7. I don't know where I'd be without him. He's wonderful, absolutely wonderful!

My first session is ending this Tuesday. I'm not too nervous to be honest. Sure, I have an oral and a play to perform, but who cares? Once that's done I'm free for 4 months. College beats high school! I really enjoyed it.

I can't stop thinking about my boyfriend. He's away in the states and I hope he comes back tonight. I really want to talk to him and tell him how much I missed him! I had to take care of his dogs while he was away. His dogs are wonderful to be with. They really make me happy xD

You know, I watched a really good movie last night. It's called Children of a Lesser god. I knew what it was about and I also knew that Marlee Matlin won an oscar for her sublime performance. It's a chick flick. I loved it. LOOOOVED IT. In fact, I think I'll watch it again tonight. ROFL. It's that satisfying. I couldn't stop thinking about Ali the entire time. I really miss him D: I wish he could hold me right now. I really do...

OH WELL... going to listen to some BONNIE PINK to kill time. It's good to be back.

The holidays are coming!

I am so happy. Setting up Christmas trees, listening to classic holiday songs and best of all getting all excited for the big day!

My first act of giving happened yesterday. I gave my boyfriend a video game for his 17th birthday. Can't wait to get him his X'mas present. Ahhhh, it's going to be the best Christmas ever. I HOPE, FUCK.

I better make a wish list soon. If only my parents weren't so cheap.

This is for you

They met at the Rockefeller Center in New York City. They were both visiting their families for the holiday season. When they saw each other, it was as if everything that was so wrong with their world would just melt away. They soon fell in love. As the years passed by they would share many memories together. He proposed, she said yes and they were on their way to living the American dream. She thought she would have the perfect life she had always dreamed of. Guess again sweetheart. Her husband started coming home late. He blamed work for his total lack in social graces. He stopped spending time with her, all he would do is go out and get drunk at a local pub. She would cry incessantly, all alone in her bedroom while watching some sad movies.

How could this of happened? Was marriage the downfall of their wonderful relationship? She wanted to know what she was doing wrong, she really did. The poor man kept telling her that she was fine just the way she is. He never got why she was being such a pain, such an emotional burden. Then it hit her, he was with someone else. Secretly, shamelessly, unabashedly. Why would he lie to her face? She saw him with that other woman at Grand Central. He was waiting for her. The New Year was just around the corner and it seems he was ready to celebrate twice. Nice going.

She was furious! Blinded with rage, she raced home by taking the subway and a taxi. She entered their pent house and waited for him. When he finally arrived home, late once again, she asked him what he wanted for dinner. He replied with roasted turkey. She got up and went in the kitchen only to get the very thing that will kill him. With a firm grip on the rock solid turkey that was kept in the freezer for weeks, she walked up to her sneaky little bastard of a husband and gave him a blow to the head with so much force that he fell on the floor only to lie there motionless. He was dead. Dead like the love they once shared.

Happy Halloween!

Well, it's been an entire month where I have gone and posted NOTHING! and that's cool because that means I wasn't bored enough to do so. I post this today letting myself know that this blog isn't dead.

My parents just came back from a month long trip to South Korea, Hong Kong and the Philippines. They brought me some cute stuff from the Narita airport in Japan. ^ ^ I have to say, my parents looked rejuvenated when they got home, especially my mother. I'm so happy for them, I hope they take more trips like this because they really deserve it! I suggested Europe, but my dad said that it would be too expensive. Maybe they could do just one country instead of visiting 3.
