No Theatre Tonight. :-(
So, the rain has kept me from going to volunteer at the theatre. >_< Dammit!
Well, even though I could not do that, I did find something productive to do with my night! I made a GIF!!! ^_^
I was talking with Steph, the roomie, about how while I was watching the first three seasons of Xena: Warrior Princess, I counted at least twenty times that Xena would take a drink, grab a torch/candle, & then spit fire at the baddies. I told her that I thought it was really groovy that Lucy Lawless did the stunt herself & was giving her props for it. Steph wondered if she tried to bring that talent over to Battlestar Galactica, as well, as the only fire breathing model of Cylon. :-P
So, inspired by all of that, we thought up what it would be like to have Xena & D'Anna merge.
I present to you...
D'Xenna: Warrior Cylon!!!
(BTW, yeah, that's a link you have to click. ^_-)
Poor Boomer. LOL! ^_^

Pics, Pics, Pics!
Just a tiny little update: So, I noticed that to view my photo albums on FaceBook you have to sign in with a FaceBook account. Not everyone has one, I understand. Instead of forcing those of you that refuse to get with the times, I got a Flickr account so I would have a better place to share my pics. I will still upload to FaceBook, but I will also be uploading to Flickr as well. Just trying to be fair to all of ya! ^_^
So, here are all of the links to where you can see my face. :-P
Flickr
FaceBook
And here is the link to my old ass pics from MySpace which I will not be uploading to anymore.

Smitten; Bitten by the Theatre Bug, Again
Wow. Here I thought that starting out as an usher in the community theatre was gonna be dull. Far from it. Got to meet all sorts of very nice and lovely people, got to stay and take in the show for free, and got to block all outside food & beverages from reaching the theatre! LOL! Felt like the security guard of drama. :-P Anyhoo, it wasn't much of a job; fill boxes with pamphlets; stock programs, move equipment, tear tickets, pass out programs, offer information about the theatre and the show, then cleanup the theatre after the patrons leave.
While I was cleaning up, I found one odd thing that was left behind. Among the usual hard candy & Halls wrappers and used tissues, which by the way is a very disgusting thing to do, but not nearly as gross as the piece de resistance of the garbage: a used band-aid. Yeah, really. I mean, who the hell is sitting there while watching the show and decides, "Oh, I'm done with this. Let's see, where can I dispose of such a personal item as this? Oh, I know! I'll just throw it in the aisle!" or "This play is great! It made my wound spontaneously heal! I shall reward them by leaving my band-aid as a memento and thanks for their service!" Ew. Thankfully the manager had disposable gloves for such an occasion. She didn't have any bags or anything to put things in as you gather them, so I just used another glove as my trash receptacle. I had a glove filled with paper, tissues, a used band-aid, and my glove. That was just odd. Never thought I'd write about a thing like that. >_<
Overall the experience was amazing. The play, Laughter on the 23rd Floor, was hilarious! The cast was astounding. For a community theatre they really performed like professionals. I really could've watched them all night. Hell, I could see the play being fleshed out into a sitcom. If you are ever in the Addison area, look up the Water Tower Theatre and get tickets for this show. It is so worth it!
As for me, I think I have reawakened my acting bug that had been lying so dormant for all these years. I have signed up for more shifts at the theatre and hopefully I can meet more interesting people and get my face & name out there. I even laced some of the programs I passed out with my business card for my book! Sneaky, I know, but I gotta do something! Then one day, one day, I will work up the nerve to go audition for something. Until then, I will be more than happy to pick up tissues and used band-aids just to finally be back in my element. ^_^
When arriving at work today, I was told by a coworker that I looked rested and in a better mood. Yeah, this is exactly what I needed!

The Sickness Anniversary
How funny that I just referenced this song in a blog not too long ago. :-P
The Sickness Anniversary
In other news tonight is the first night of the community theatre gig. I dunno why I'm so nervous about it! I'm just a piddly little usher! LOL! Hopefully all goes well and maybe I'll get to see a free show! ^_^

Brad the Violinist?
Well, guess what I treated myself for my birfday?! Yes, I know, I gave it away in the title. I bought a brand spankin' new black violin! ^_^
I have always wanted to try my hand at playing a musical instrument and I think this is the way to go. When I was young I got a Casio keyboard for X-mas and taught myself how to play. For my young age and not having any professional lessons, I did quite well! I'm not sure what happened, but I'm sure that my attention was shifted somewhere else and I left the keyboard on the wayside. I just never picked it back up again and never felt the urge to do so. Even though I still have this yearning inside me to do something creative with music, I don't think that was the right instrument for me. Now that I'm older and wiser, I took the time to think of what would be right for me. I narrowed it down to a string instrument and almost got a guitar, but everyone chooses guitar and I don't think I'd be very good at it. So, the violin was the next choice that really stood out for me. I got an awesome deal on one, too! I searched eBay and found this really groovy black violin with tons of free extras, free set-up, and free online lessons all for a flat $55.00 with free shipping and handling!!! ^_^
Click the pic for full details of the instrument!
I'm SO excited! I can't wait to start my lessons! I know from my previous experience that I'm not gonna be a pro overnight, but I am more than eager to give this my all. I know that I should focus my creative yearning on my writing, but I'm just not feeling it lately. I really need something else. Hopefully this and the community theater will fill that need.
Speaking of the community theater, my first day is this Thursday. I'm kinda nervous and excited to get back into this. I hope I don't make an ass outta myself. >_< I'll keep ya posted!
Ciao for now!

Xena and Beer and Pills, Oh My!
So, people have asked me "What is your blog about? What is it for? What's the purpose?" Actually, no they haven't, but I can imagine that some people look at it and wonder, "What the fuck is this shit?" Well, it's me. It's my very own place to put down random thoughts or updates in my life, sorta like a diary, except it's up for public view. I also utilize it as a way to exercise my writing. Granted, it's not high caliber stuff that I am writing about or even captivating topics. I'm not even using a certain writing style that would seem unique or stand out in any way. Just plain ol' words plopped down on a ordinary web blog about an ordinary boy and his ordinary life. If you enjoy that sort of thing, then please feel free to read on! I write for myself first, and then the people. So, I guess to answer those first questions that I posed by the imaginary people in my head, "It's for me."
Now, on to my latest update. Xena. Watched about a season's worth of episodes this weekend. I was feeling spectacularly lazy this particular weekend for some reason. Clean laundry still laying in the basket waiting to be put away. Dirty dishes in the sink creating a funk to match the one that I was in. I just wasn't motivated at all. Plus the beer didn't help at all, but it made the episodes so much more fun! Then I started to break out into hives really bad. Some of you may know this about me, but if you are just tuning in, I'll explain: I break out in hives. Randomly. Without warning. I don't know why. It all started about seven or eight years ago. First my face gets kinda warm and tingly, then itchy, then bumpy, like I was just attacked my mosquitoes. There is no trigger. I have tried to change my diet, my laundry detergent, my soaps and shampoos, everything. Nothing seems to work. I could just be sitting around drinking water and then BAM, braille-face. Luckily it doesn't last very long, maybe about five to thirty minutes, but those five to thirty minutes are super long due to the intense itching. If I scratch, they get worse, so I have to discipline myself. I have found one thing that works, though. Benadryl. Usually I can take one or two and that keeps them at bay for a few days. This weekend, I must've forgot to take some because they whelped up with a vengeance. It looked like I had tumors all over my face. So, I had to take some. With my beer. While watching Xena. Yeah, it didn't end well. The last thing that I remember was watching episode thirteen from season one, which was a clip episode. On a side note, who the hell makes a clip-show in the middle of the first season?! Really?! Anyhoo, Steph, the roomie, was at work during the day. When she gets out of work and comes home, she calls me and I have to toss down the little electronic key from the balcony that lets her in the apartment building. She called. I did not hear. She called about fifteen times. I was out. Luckily someone was nice enough to let her in the building. I woke up around midnight, TV still on, my bedroom door closed, and sounds coming from the living room. "Oh shit", I thought, "I didn't let Steph in!" I apologized out the ass and she giggled it off. I felt like such and ass... and a drunk... and a dope head.
That was the most exciting thing about my weekend. Was there a point to all of this. No, not really. Just wanted to share with whoever is reading. ^_^
