A friend called me recently asking if I would be interested in auditioning for the lead role in one of my favorite operas. He was cast at the baritone and said the company still needed a tenor. I contacted the lady to whom my friend had spoken and set up an audition. I was to sing his most well known aria for my audition ( Read more... )

With as much as I speak, I do not type my thoughts as often. I really wish that I did. Over the last several months, I enjoyed being on unemployment. I wasn't quite as productive as I would have liked to have been, but it was a wonderful few months. As the holidays approached, I decided to go back to waiting tables. I contacted a GM that I had ( Read more... )

Reading my last post, I am uncertain as to what bothers me more: That I have not posted in almost 2 years or that I said I wanted to post more often. Regardless, now is the time I am writing and so I will attempt to catch up with a few my many things ( Read more... )

It's hard to believe that it has been almost 8 months since I have written anything here. So much has happened, yet I haven't recorded my thoughts. Some may be for the best as opinions have changed over time. That might also be a shame. Well, I'm going to try and catch up now, at least a bit ( Read more... )

The first day in Nashville wasn't very eventful. Chris, an old college friend of mine, took me to see his school, Belmont. I got to meet a few of his friends while there and then we headed to lunch. Nothing exotic, but the lunch pasta special at Fazoli's wasn't too bad. Their bread sticks are awesome. That night, Chris has to work, so I hung around ( Read more... )

The remainder of my days in Atlanta were a lot of fun. I got to hang out with friends, see a few sites and sit in Starbucks to chat online and upload photos from my trip. I had such a great time in Atlanta. It was a bit of a shock, but it just seemed to feel right. I made a lot of friends quickly. I was honestly sad to leave. If I didn't have this ( Read more... )

I know I have been meaning to write in this for some time. However, I did not realize it had been quite this long. Most of my trip has gone undocumented, though I have full intentions of going back and discussing the things left out. Bear with me and let me pick up where I left off ( Read more... )

So, in case some of you are wondering, I did not pull a Thelma and Louise. I have just been really busy with the trip and not had a chance to post here. I really do apologize and hope to catch up with you soon. Since my last post, I have been to San Francisco, driven down Highway 1 to Los Angeles, hung out in Orange County, passed through San Diego ( Read more... )

The Farmers Market was interesting. Nothing large, but many nice booths overflowing with produce and baked goods. I bought a falafel sandwich and headed to the public library to check out some audiobooks. I have kept myself entertained on the road by listening to audiobooks. I found a few things and then headed to meet up with my friends ( Read more... )

So, I didn't realize how behind I was. Let me catch up ( Read more... )
