Song in my mind ~ For now - Avenue Q

Oh boy, lots going on… a lot of ying and yang but oh well… I’ll do it day by day.

Last Thursday… Drove a bus down to Jeresy for a group to visit NYC, decided to get dinner at a local place by the hotel cause I’m in the area for 4 days, and didn’t want to over do the city.

Friday drove the group in the city, and it was nuts… pre-holidays and its only gonna get worse. Waited in the bus for a few hours between the group’s movements, on a area I knew some people ran into trouble, but there was no where else and years ago we where always allow to park there.. well nothing so I moved the group came back and there where more buses so I decided to go get a bite to eat. Got my sushi and walking back to the bus decided to buy a digital camera. I thought I got a good deal, but had a bad feeling that now that I bought something expensive, I was gonna have a ticket. Well I was wrong. I had two tickets. One for 65 that I agree with, but another for 115 that I have no idea what it is for. %$#@#$$#@ Well drove the group back out to the hotel and then hopped on a city bus to get back to the city cause I arranged to visit Derek and Romaine of Sirius Radio fame… and that was ok, but for “Happy Hour” it was full of a Playboy Bunny and Dangling Dan take on the Wii… so I didn’t say much on the air… and but Derek and Romaine seemed beat, so it wasn’t the usual 100% of fun.. I kinda felt out of place, which stinks cause that’s the only time I’m gay is when I listen to them.. yeah, no problems in the love life, cause there is no. haha…. After DnR, I went to Don’t tell Mammas and actually sang a song and got a strong response, even though I know I messed it up.

Saturday, I took the group in to the city and came out and got ready to go in to see, The 25th Annual Putman Co. Spelling Bee… just to see the ever hot, Barrett Foa, and OMG, it was amazing, he was fantastic! The show was very clever… I want to direct it some day… However, I think I scared Barrett after the show…. We both know Eric Peterson, and so I kinda want to believe we are friends.. haha… and he was also on DnR and we talked about the night I saw Avenue Q, met Barrett the first time, and saw Elijah Wood. He remembered that… so it was all kinda quick, the new camera didn’t want to work, and Barrett was crowded by other fans…. But I did get one good picture with him, and met a professional hmmm….. cute fan chaser..haha.. she had to run to another theatre to see her favorite performer.. so it was neat…. But the new camera was upsetting me, so I took a bus back to the hotel, got dressed for work drove my bus in, and found my usual good parking spot and exchanged it. But within one hour I dropped it marking up the case, but it still worked great…. Till the next morning. So I have to face the fact I’m gonna have to hope HP will fix it. Got a really good Thai dinner, but then I started thinking, it stinks that I don’t do my first true love, Theatre

Came home for a couple days got requested to take a group to Erie on Monday and I’m now back in the city… Monday I just went in for another Thai Dinner, and …. Well…

Well its past noon, and I’m in the city, so its time to go get sushi.

Best, J

Song in my mind ~ We Are the World Ala Kapers

Hey all,

Its Friday on-call and I’m already going nuts. Not a good sign. Two call offs and nobody to cover cause everyone is already working (Including me) and I’m waiting for a plane to come in and I get to run a short run. I’m gonna be beat next week, cause I already took my comp day. And the next two weekends are gonna to be nuts.

Reason why I took my comp day early cause I had a dentist appoint in Bradford, (I always have one the second Thursday of November because of Kapers. Well this year it really was no need to.. but mostly I’m glad I did. After the appoint I visited Ginny and we caught up, and had lunch. Amazing how I don’t talk on the cell phone anymore… now that I don’t drive 47 miles one way anymore. And the job doesn’t really allow me to chat either like the concrete one did… so I do lose touch now. Then I went and visited the School Bus Garage… this time they didn’t put me to work but it was nice to catch up with everyone. Lots of hugs… I miss it…but still again with the horrible decision on the part of the admin to allow a change of management… I’m glad I’m not there. They want me to do their Christmas party… I might just have to get them a cheap price… I think it would be fun to hang with them all.

Next I stopped by the old apartment and Lori and I got caught up. I miss a lot of Bradford… Funny… I knew I would… Then I went out and seen Jacob, (the horse) and he was just as cute and bullheaded as usual. I brushed him (however not my best job) I didn’t want to get filthy going to Kapers. He about got me completely covered in mud when I put him back. And I felt bad.. I could tell he wanted more attention when I had to leave.

Then I went to Kapers. I was kinda worried that maybe they wouldn’t want me poking in. But overall no problems.. they let me go backstage, however I limited it. I did what I thought was right. Saying hi is one thing but being a complete distraction is another. Well I was out in the audience and one of the regulars came out and give me a bit of her mind saying that I needed to be in the cast… just before she came out I already started getting emotional, so of course hearing this I started to weep. The show was good.. I think they are going too far in the Variety Show theme… it needs some kind of format. Oh well… They did mention me in a way in the show… When the Kuties came out, they said “last year they chased that mailman to DuBois”… they also gave a Fullington a shout out in connection with Hollywood Helen. That was nice. Sheldon, Casey’s brother, gave me a hug, that was nice.. he’s str8.. but cute so I’ll take a cute hug anyday.. haha… Casey did good, she was afraid that she’d never get a solo again, and she did… I’m glad I was able to start that. It took me from 92 to 95 to get a solo… so all is good. Rhonda was great with her little girl, and there were some great points. Some … half so… But I miss it. And the good thing, it was apparent I was missed up there as well.

I been thinking if I did the right thing. I gave up the bi bois, karaoke, most of my theatre chances, a lot of things, for this job… and granted I think the job is the best job I have ever had. A real career. But meeting people, I have no hope in it anymore. I don’t think they make the type I was originally in love with, and that’s Jamie… I find the Black Holes, the LB’s and the Red Face Liars…. And I’m too good to be allow that type of scum in my life, and won’t anymore… but the Twinks that have it together…. Just like I don’t want to be with a less they perfect bod, why should they… However Wed night I did talk to a Kev from Altoona, very cute, 21, and it seemed to go well… but we shall see if we ever chat again… So oh well… wish that plane get in so I can get some sleep.. haha.. oh well…

Love ya Bradford, least the good people of Bradford… gawd I’m starting to sound like Hollywood.

However the truck is not loving me… I seems its gonna cost me over a thousand… damn Toyotas the pumpkin is starting to leak. I did want a new truck.. but since I don’t use it that much I was hoping to save a good bit of money next June when I have it paid off. Which I will.. the thousand plus right now will be tough… but with work being nuts like it is… I will be getting the hours. So wish me luck.

And I’m not looking forward to Christmas. With no significant other… I don’t care anymore, still not talking to the sister… Step dad will be step dad but worse since my mom did move out for a couple of months, so I don’t even want to stay over at Christmas. I was gonna go to Toronto really soon… but with the truck being a turd, that won’t happen… oh well… (I was done typing originally at Love ya Bradford, but that damn plane still hasn’t taken off in Ohio. Grrr… but I’m gonna lay down anyways.

Best,
J

Song in my mind ~ none

Hey all… just thought I update ya… I'm a little better… the stress is calming down… haha.. went from 130/90 down to 128/82.. which is better… I got to see another Broadway show, and still got a nice tip… and met one cutie.. who I don't believe is gay.. but oh well…



But I'm hyped that I've seen four ACTUAL Broadway shows this year. Hairspray, LeStat, Wicked (for the second time) and now Tarzan. I'm suppose to got back down this weekend. But I have to be carefull.. Money is tight till the 15th.



Other then that… I have a weird thing happening… I have someone calling me with a restricted number, every 9th day. Two during the day and two late night. I don't have a clue who it is, I think it might be one of "them" I have mentioned a lot on here… but I don't care. I've blocked restricted calls so they are done.



Other then that… things are going ok.



Going to bed.
