-Tina Turner (We Look Alittle similar? What am i joking, but her live is MAJOR TRAGIC Hard to Duplicate)
-Diana Ross ( We look nothing alike but then again i don't think she would be as challenging as Tina Turner)
-Gabrielle Union ( Who doesn't love her but point even though we look alike and i could act like her pretty easily she isn't at all Tragic..My idol)
I am definetly having a really hard time deciding on which tragic Monologue Character i could do. Someone i look like as well as easy to Relive. When I first heard of this project instanly i thought of Gabrielle Union, but sadly she isn't very tragic. ( I wish it didn't have to be a Tragic Monolgue :(...)So then i swished everything around because someone gave me the suggestion of Diana Ross so i thought about it and she was the next best one, The only issue with Diana Ross is that we don't look alike....:/, So then I thought about doing Tina Turner but once again the only Con doing a tragic monoluge on her is that it would have to be epic because her life was SOOOOOO Dramatic.I haven't thought of another person could do and i need to hurry quick althogh i am pretty sure this third person i am going to do isn't going to be the person i end up doing... But until then.

In the past month I have learend many things what to do what not to do, and at that moment when people are telling you something important as well as benificail ,you appear to be listening but really in the back of your head your getting annoyed because it's just the same speech that your mother gives you.Until the day comes when it's too late and there's nothing you could do but feel stuck and full of regret. So now your sitting in a position like what am i going to do with my life? What is best for me right now? Because being LAZY isn't an option. It is time to grow up and to listen to your head and no one elses it is time to do a 360 and prepare yourself and not worry about others, Because all those others could be doing Great.There is absaloutly no time for loving , no time for focusing on friendships,or disputes, no time to just sit aroung thinking about things you can't fix.Once agian that is going to leave you in a postion that just feels wierd. Time to replace all that stuff with books, netwroking,experience, and much more. Well now i know what i am going to do thinking about it i am going to be doing alot post secondary because i WILL indeed be reaping what i sew, not fully though.For I have Learned My Lesson.

WELL Oh My GOSH! so much has happend since the last time i have blogged I have watched a great mainstage production, travelled to taste the LA Sun, Get some great opportunites that will be taken place post secondary (yet not stable).As well as learn so many lessons. But this blog will most likely mainly be about Los Angeles. Thinking back i did indeed had a good time just being somewhere else not doing the same regular rutine was enough to put a smile on my face. Sight seeing and witnessing all the different places where big events took place or visting places where Ben Aflect, Will Smith or Gwen Stefani might have been was indeed really COOL. Or driving by scense from the Gilmore Girls, Friends or movies such as the Grinch & much more was very Exciting. So I absorbed as much as i could because sooner or later it was back to Canada doing the samething over and over and over again. ( Not saying canada is a bad place because we are the land of the free)<------Okay corny but true. Anyway the time has come where reality slaps me in the face and it is time to buckle down and get ready.

Well truthfully, recently for the longest while i haven't at all been keeping up with this blogging thing but in order to get a good mark and maintain it for the rest of the year i am going to do all i have to do in that short period of time, to get these blogs done, Because like they say good things come with sacrafice. So it is time to replace the sleeping,tweeting,&Watching TV with blogging!

A couple months back a very successful special guest came to the class and shared his experience with the Acting Academy. Dhomo has been on the apprentice and besides his troubled past has overcame all his obstacles and has basically became a millionaire. I enjoyed his experience as he expressed some very inspirational words at the end of his visit that made me feel really good and positive about my future.There is something Dhomo said to the class which was "Would you ask a negative person for advice?" ,and then he said then why would you listen to yourself, which was then really really inspirational for me bacause as humans we tend to put down ourselves that isn't healthy, and it made me think and becaome more aware of what i was constantly doing to myself, instead of constantly listening to the negative voices in my head (which was me)i should believe in my self and try to build myself up. Overall this has made me more of a positive person.
Thank You Dhomo, Your words ment alot.
On Wedensday April the 15th My Acting Academy Class Went to the theatre to watch a play called "Where the Blood Mixes",Written by Kevin Loring, which is about a Native girl who returns back to her homeland in order to reconect with her father.Throughout the play the father "Floyed"(Played By Bill Merasty) has constent memories & dreams about his daughter Christine (Played by Kim Harvey) and how it will be when they finally reunite.As the day comes when the father fianlly get's to meet his daughter,he get's dressed up and meet's her at his meeting spot which is the towns local bar, Where he spends the majority of his time.as he enters the bar he is greeted by his best friend "Mooch" (Played By Ben Cardinal) and the bartender George (Played by Tom McBeath.as the comment on Floyd's apperance they hear the sound of June (Played by Margo Kane) coming which is Mooch's controlling Girlfriend...(To cut to the chase).....Mooch hides because he wasn't suppose to be in the bar, and then after he hides June comes notices Floyed and they start to hug. Mooch walks out and is soo drunk that he accuses June of cheating with his friend Floyd. They soon get into a physical fight as his daughter Christine walks into the bar and see's the whole thing. Later into the play the father and daughter reunite and have a converation about her decised mother and have a touching monment. Overall the play was well written and directed well, also it was filled with messages about the native culture. I really liked it.
I haven't blogged in awhile but i was thinking about the topic Self- esteem and why it is the way it is....like i don't know how to explain it. But why do not only girls but
people feel as if they are living to impress everyone but them self? From experience I am still VERY VERY VERY self concious, because of my Middle School experience. It was hard people telling you to do this, and you feel like you HAVE to do it
OR ELSE . Or that you have to look a certian way just to get that boys attention, when little do you know that he only enjoy's the fact that you are willing to do or get anything they want from you. And looking back at it yeah i do find it pathetic. but everyone goes through thier own experience ,but the popular girls that get anything they want from boys. because boys hormones are running and expect girls with big breast and bums which you don't have( which means at that age apperance is everything), so then it affects the popular girls positivly because their confidence increases.And because of that they feel the need to make fun of You and belittle you because in their eyes you are "unseucessful" in the sense that they aren't getting any attention. see it's wired to see how people are...i find it funny. if you look at it from the other persons perspective they feel like they have to live up to so much or else they are losers when anyway they are the loser because they are loosing themslef thier persona. And even though now i found my self (not completely but good enough).And have firends that except me for who I am as a person. (Well most of them)That it is important to feel comfortable with myself my apperance and have confidence in my dicisions and in all that i do.I just hope that people can start excepting themselves for who they are and others can too. I ahve alot to build up what those idots who i allowed to break me down. And maybe it's time for me to Start.
Steph.
