Hello! Yes, it has been long since I have posted. Allow me to count the reasons...
As you may recall, I was cast in a production of The Glass Menagerie at SCSU. The performances were last week. And believe me, I was SO busy in the week leading up to the shows as well. So it was a busy two weeks and I hardly found the time for homework, let alone posting in my blog. But all that aside, it was a wonderful show and I consider it to be the best theatre experience of my life so far.
I've also been struggling with some stress in my personal life that has left me utterly exhausted. For awhile, my creativity had honestly run dry. Just plain ol' tired.
And lastly, I've been sick. It is so difficult to get motivated to write when I can't stop hacking and coughing.
But, here we are!! Once again, I sit at my keyboard, trying desperately to entertain.
So here is today's story... Yesterday I went to Olive Garden with some friends. As I looked across the restaurant, I saw an elderly couple receiving their food from a waiter. They began to eat. And that's about all they did. They ate and they ate. They didn't look at each other. They didn't utter a word. I caught myself staring at this geriatric couple. Suddenly, the old man spotted me and we had a moment of eye contact. It was very strange. I felt like he was trying to tell me something. Like he was warning me of the future. Almost like he was telling me not to make the same mistakes that he did. It was kind of sad, really. His eyes were empty and bitter.
At that moment I resolved not to ever let myself get to where he is in life. With whomever I end up marrying in my life, I want to be happy and stay happy. It's a new personal goal of mine. ;)
