I just discovered this great independent band called POMPLAMOOSE. Introduced to me by my wonderful friend Hanah Rose, this band makes songs their own, such as Beyonce's Single Ladies, which is my personal favorite by Pomplamoose.
Here's a link. You can download their songs for free.

The pleasures of theatre
Can anyone explain to me why being onstage feels so right?
It's not something many people feel, and some people may go their whole lives without this unique feeling, and I'm not just speaking of theatre. It's with any career.
It's when you know it's what you were put on earth to do. The rush, the joy, and the satisfaction after an opening night makes it your purpose. Well, my purpose.
Theatre is a complex thing. It's taking the interesting and intense moments from life, transforming it into an art piece, and showcasing it on the stage, all the while sending a message through to your audience.
And yes, ladies and gents, it's a career. It's not as easy as you may think. The training never ends. Ideas never die. I could say that the theater audience is dying down, but I don't want to.
I'm proud to be a part of such a great theatre community(which is also surprisingly very small, I know people who know Sutton Foster personally).
If I were to divide my day into chunks, I'm sure half of it would go to rehearsals and theatre classes.
I feel-
like someone came and took away all the bad things in my life.
like there's a hurricane coming.
like life has just begun.
satisfied.
love for others.
the earth beneath my feet.
free.
many things that can't be put into words.
like no one can stop me.
amazing.
like I know things.
like my goals and dreams couldn't be clearer.
But most of all, I feel;
good.
