Theater. Lights. Action.

I can't believe this is our last blog post. I swear, time flies so fast. I can't even keep up with it anymore. Honestly, I have enjoyed reading everyone's blog post's so much. Everyone is so unique in their own ways. I haven't read a blogpost that I don't enjoy. I enjoy every single one of them. Ok...now that that's out the way, let's get rolling on my finial blogpost.
Ever since I was little I been belting out Broadway tunes. It's just always been apart of me. It's werid because I don't know how I got so hooked on Broadway musicals. My parents were always feeding disco and rock&roll in my ear, not Broadway. Don't get me wrong I love...LOVE disco and classic rock&roll, but Broadway was in my soul. I started doing musicals a very eary age and did them until my senior year in high school. Suddenly, I just stopped. No reason...I just stopped. Recently, I have been missing the stage. Words can't even describe how I crave to be on the stage. When I'm on the stage it feels like the world stops for a moment and all eyes are on me. It's the best feeling in the entire world. I want nothing more than to be in spotlight again. I love how the spotlight is slightly blinding at first, but then within seconds it feels like home.I plan on soon getting in to shows again. I need to find local theaters that hold auditions for upcoming musicals. I'll take anything. I don't care if I get a lead, or land a role in the company. (A lead would be nice thought :) ) I just want a chance to grace the stage once again.
I'm about to switch gears here a bit, so stay with me! It still has to do with Broadway, so I thought I should write about it! The other night The Tony's were on. For those of you who don't know what the Tony Awards' are it's basically the Academy Awards of theater. It was incrediable this year. I loved every performance. My favorite I have to say was The Book of Mormon. I had heard so much talk about this risky musical. It's basically a show about a Mormon missionary who is sent on a mission to Africa. It's written by the creator's of South Park...that should tell you something. It's beyond funny. Yes, it is slightly....ok greatly making fun of the Mormons, but it still is extremely humerous. I have a few Mormon friends and I'm not sure how they take it, but some of them think it is funny. I try to put myself in their shows and think, "Would I laugh at a show that made fun of my religion?" My answer is YES! I think Broadway musicals should be taken lightly. This is a comedy musical that is supposed to be funny and make fun of people. However it still holds a lot of heart in it. When a show has a perfect mix of comedy and heart the result outstanding.Religion is a very touchy subject with a lot of people, so that is why this show is starting controversy. I wanted to see what other people's take would be about this show. Here is a clip!

Do you know your ABC's?

Thanks to stumpleupon.com, I came across this "ABC challenge". I remember a lot of people used to do them back in the day, so I decided to revive them. Enjoy :)

B- Book? No one can have just ONE favorite book! So here's a couple of my favorite: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The Da Vinci Code, P.S. I Love You, The Giver, The BFG, Little Women, and the play Angels in America.  
C- Cake or Pie? Let's see. I can't remember the last time I ate a piece of pie. I don't usually eat cake unless it's for a celebration. So I'm going to say brownies. 
D- Drink of Choice? Nothing quenches my thirst more than water! Although lately I have been obsessed with Vitamin Water, it's beyond amazing.

The Traveling Gypsy

I have been craving for a vacation. I want to travel somewhere that is exotic, relaxing, and holds many adventures. If it were up to me, I would live out my suitcase. Traveling is a part of me. Within a few months of living in the same place, I'm ready to start a new adventure somewhere else. Not necessarily move to a different place, but travel somewhere I have yet to go. I grew up traveling, and it has made a huge impact on my life. I can't sit still to long in one place, or I will go crazy. And that stirring in my body has returned once again. Lately, I have been researching places to travel and it has led me to amazing places that will make your jaw drop with their pure beauty. Money, as always, is my hugest obstacle. If money grew on trees on would be in a different country every week. Here are some of the spectacular places I would love to visit: 

Madrid, Spain

I have visited Spain before and I felt instantly connected to it. I never had to pleasure of meeting my grandfather and he was from Spain, so I think thats why I felt such a strong connection with Spain. I always feel so in touch with my Spanish culture when I walk down the street. It's an amazing feeling. 

Cape Town, South Africa

I feel like this city has so much to offer with their beautiful beaches, and nighttime life. Cape town is a melting pot of different cultures....which I love!

Paris, France

Who doesn't want to go to Paris? 

Maldives Islands

I don't think I've ever seen anything this beautiful. Just look how clear the water is! If you have any spare time after you read this you should definitely google the Maldives Islands and gander at the pictures. Their pretty amazing.
