Idea for the monologue... 65 assignments away...

This is a very very draft draft - trying to get thing sorted in my head - and this is what this blog is about.

A man stands on a chair - announces the following while modeling three different mobile devices:

"Twitter, the site that you take everywhere. The site where you report everything. Microblogging. Because everyone wants to know what you are doing twenty-four-seven. . . Including your overprotective mother, and neo nazi ex boyfriend. Lets you tell others when your down. When your desperate. When you have nothing more to give.

Blogging lets your write what you want. Micro blogging is not blogging at all. It's step by step stalker access central. Its the end of the world. Its the taste of salt on your lips."

The man sits down and assumes a slouch. Laptop in front of him, binoculars in hand.

"Twitter - Watching a movie. Life - watching my neighbor. It's ok. I follow him in life on and off.... on and off line that is. 7.45 - he gets undressed and does sit ups. Twitter - 7.45, feeds the cat and reads the paper.

Sometimes I want to Twitter "watching neighbor feed the cat and read the paper, and finding it oddly interesting" to see if he notices. But why should he. We have an understanding. He pretends I don't exist. I watch him every minute he spends at home.

*Fill in some more stuff here to come - need to sort some more in my head.

So from here I want to move onto two separate stories - one I know and will include in a later blog - one i will make clear in my head soon...

Connection lost.
Server over powered.

Reconnecting....
Server not found.
Reconnecting....
Server not found.

Where is server?
Who is server?
Why can I not find my server?

Oh, is it because I want the wrong server?
Is it because the server I like has different networking?
Why can't I just find a server of my own.?
One with good connection.
One that I.... I have been waiting for...
... and will remain to... I guess that's all I can do.

Reconnecting....
Server still not found.

"We can't get this and Footloose!"

Ok - last night I watched a movie with my mate. Fair enough we got it as a joke but it kinda got me kinda laughing at how lame the movie was.

It was called "East Side Story" - and believe it or not it's gayer than it looks... which seems like a hard thing to do. We originally got it because it said it had a "touching storyline" and also "avoids stereotypes about gay society". . . seriously... how the fuck is this avoiding all stereotypes about gay society. I mean for fuck!

At one point the character introduce their friends who want to buy the house their living in as say "Hey guys - these are my friends Adam and Steve." I mean. Wow. Adam and Steve... how original. Defiantly not a gay joke waiting to happen.

"Finding love in east Los Angeles is challenging, especially for a young closeted gay man. At times, sexy and romantic." I mean for fuck again! There are a billion and one gay guys partying in a house across the road from him... yet he still can't find a boyfriend. Alas when he gets one his either in denial or already has a boyfriend. I mean Oh my god!

At one point one of the main characters said "Super Dooper Fabulous"... How is that not a stereotype then what the hell is. hahaha.

This is just skimming the surface as to how.... hrm... I don't know how to describe it.... Gay? ... no... __________ this film is.

If you get a chance to watch it try and make it through the whole two hours. For half of it I sat ith my mouth open going "I can't beleive I'm watching this and not getting outraged."

hahaha - that is it for now peeps.

Forever I have been fixated on traveling across Canada.

It just looks like such a picturesque country, which would be a nice place to visit. I don't actually know what to plan to do while I'm over there but I kinda feel like planning as I go over there.

I do know the first few weeks I want to spend in New York - Seeing all my Broadway shows and musicals. Then travel up the coast then along the Canadian/American boarder, visiting all the pit stop's that interest me along the way- mainly for sight seeing.

Why am I planning this now. Because It's all I can think of at the moment. My life is slowly grading away at me and my thoughts are doing myself in. That's why, to be frank.

Motions, smiles, dedications, creations, failures.
Present, Represent, Resent - that is my current motto.

Canada is the one think making me go forward in life at the moment.

The one reward I get from my multiple goals set down at the moment. And its at least 2 and a half years away.

... the one thing that bothers me is that I feel like the kid I was in leavers... for those non-aussies reading this that's an aussie version of spring break. I don't know why I think this.

Present > Represent > Resent

I have to write a monologue soon. Those who know me, know that I like to do out there controversial monologues for my university course. Last time I did a 5 minute Non-Verbal Monologue, where I confronted the question of Suicide and Sexuality. In it I wrote gay slurs and slashed my wrists with lipstick throughout its duration with the help of music.

I come to this monologue, with no boundaries, no outlines, no outline as to what to do. Just that it must include production aspects. Wow - specific.

The problem I'm having is how controversial is too controversial. I want something that has occurred in the real world, and present it to an audience that may have no idea what is happening in their world. I want to show issues out there that others do not know about.

<--------------------------------->

When I'm in "create" mode I take things from every aspect of my life, from what i read, to what i listen to. They all feed into my ideas. Hence why whenever I'm writing I will have music on in the background.

"Passing time, you've come soo far but your still behind."
-Pete Murray

"I wallow in the sympathy of strangers that I see."
- Rachel Gorman (look her up on myspace - she is a brilliant upcoming artist)

"Contemplating that I'm one step closer, not knowing how many steps are left."
- Rachel Gorman (LOOK HER UP NOW!)

"Oh green world, don't desert me now. Bring me back to Fallen Town where someone is still alive."
-Gorillaz

And these blogs are getting me thinking - I don't know if the angle is too dark, but it wont be anything like my other suicide one... which was quite symbolic. I think if you tackle something like this there should not be blood and guts, just foreboding. Even take an "Assassins" approach to it.

This reminded me a lot of "Assassins" - which is ironic in an article form.

I like that In this blog - the whole idea of technology making the world more like "Lord of the Flies"

Even though I disagree with this "Bitch" (verged onto the C word here bout think its as inappropriate, there is a reason her comments are blocked obviously) a hell of a lot, I'm giving her a plug because she gave me an idea or two about why people commit dastardly acts of violence upon themselves. The whole idea that people hate you when your alive and love you when dead surprised me. I still think it was not a pc comment in a public domain.

The thing is with this, I don't know where my piece is going to end up... I have no idea.

If anyone has any idea's throw em to me in comments!

Phantom, almost the new black.

Last night I got to see Phantom of the Opera - finally. After six years of wanting to and not being able to afford it when I have been in Melbourne - so glad I could finally see it in Perth.

It was really good - the sets, acting, music, voices, ambiance was all brilliant. I miss being in theaters all the time, the one thing I planned on doing this year was to see more shows - and I'm actually doing it. Feels good. Next ones on my list are Les Misérables, Little Shop of Horrors (yay Bri and Emmet) and also want to see many more Perth productions- including a few WAAPA ones.

As for Phantom - I loved it intensely, every theater aspect was well accomplished and tied in together. The only thing that would make it better was if it was a smaller audience leading to a more heart thumping vibe. I mentioned to my sister that the chandelier went slower than I thought. She said in the production she saw it went really really fast. Haha - wonder if its a difference in perspectives or if they were actually different. The bit that made me wheel back the most is when they reveal parts of the stage that you wern't expecting.

It is a close runner up to Wicked and Priscilla - but that won't suprise those of you who know me. I guess its all about what you like and what you don't in the end. I was more enthralled by everything in Priscilla and Wicked than Phantom. And many of you will also go "For fuck sake" because I mentioned Wicked again - its the best thing I have ever seen so of course I'm going to compare everything to it. Once you see it you will understand why I love it so much - you might not like it to the extent that I do but you will see what captivated me soo much in it.

p.s. Certainty, People Like Certainty

The Role

I love this - has so many things I have said and felt in it. When I saw a version of this in Perth - It hit close to home.
