Do not walk ahead of me for I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me the hell alone.
2. It's always darkest before the dawn. So, if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, thats the time to do it.
3. No one is listening until you make a mistake.
4. It may be that the sole purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others.
5. It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.
6. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
7. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
8. Good judgement comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.
9. Generally speaking, you arent learning much when your mouth is moving.
10. When life hands you lemons, throw them at people.
11. To me, the glass is always half empty, but what's there is always really, really good, in a sarcastic kind of way.
That's how I feel when playing on stage.
Presence can be some of the best sabotage (or something like that). Like at a play. You work up your lines and when you get on with everybody watching, it's "hmmm . . . uh?"
My last birthday, suddenly causing me to realize: gee, idealism WONT pay the rent .... but it keeps me from crying myself to sleep.
Finally getting: Patience IS a virtue and the key to life.
Finally admitting: My mother IS right. I should have taken my umbrella.
Finally seeing: Hey, I AM a pretty cool chick.
Finally falling in love: My nephew being born, and watching him grow up.
Finally accepting: Not everything has to be perfect. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Just go for good.
Ah, youth. Who needs meditation to get rid of ego when birthdays will do it naturally?
My best role was the lead in 'The Nerd'...'nuff said...
Your story is too too funny lol.
Kyle: Yes, plays are WAY better.
I've been to one play recently and it was so dull and boring! The actors were mediocre (I couldn't have done better though 'cause I would either make up something or yell, "line!"). Ma left but I stayed 'cause I payed good money and besides, when you see part of it, you gotta find out how it ends (same with movies too).
Once, in another play, a little girl peed right on stage and the actors did their best to play through it and even walked right through it ...
Once, as an audience members, my friend and I were watching a Tale of Two Cities. Beforehand, we had gone for lunch and were stuffed, so my friend fell asleep during the play and started snoring so loud. Then, part of the set came crashing down and it woke her up and she screamed .... lol
I have seen many actors stop a play because of someones cell phone ringing and just glare in the direction of it.
Ah Osheen, theatre stories-so funny & familiar:
Once I had a final scene with a guy playing my son-I walk out on stage, and... no son...I wait, I do some stage business, another actress playing the maid comes on & we make up some dialogue as everyone's frantically searching for the other actor-finally somebody finds him-in a back dressing room, drinking wine, and you hear a very loud "Oh S***!' and 'bang bang bang' running up to the stage. then out he comes, flushed & breathing hard: "Hi, Dad, sorry, I heard you wanted to see me?"...
