The long rode home

Well its been a while since my last post. I don't know why but its been really hard to motivate myself to write a new entry. Everytime I seem to have time and set out to write a post I end up trailing off and not finishing it. Could be its just inertia that since I haven't posted in so long I don't really have the drive to do so again. Whatever the reason I've decided to make sure this post actually gets finished and posted.

So I finally bought a house. I suppose this makes me an adult or something like that. Its weird to have so much of my life say that I'm an adult when a large part of me still feels like a kid. I'm now 27, working a full time job and I own a house and a car. I'm the advisor to my fraternity and people actually listen to what I have to say. I'm seen as an authority figure in the various areas where I'm still involved with undergraduates. I'm having my five year reuninion next fall for college and some point next spring or summer I will have my 10 year reunion for high school.

Is this where I thought I'd be 9 years out of high school? I have no idea at this point. My life plan has changed so many times since leaving high school I don't even know if I have an idea for where I want it to go from here. If you asked me at the beginning of high school where I'd be I'd probably have said I would be an architecht or a lawyer, that I'd be married to a beautiful wife and have one possibly two kids by now. My parents did by this point. Instead, I'm a management major, gay and have been single for over two years at this point. The funny part is I think I'm happier with the actual outcome. I do like my life. I like the people who are in it. I like the things that I've done and the choices I've made. What is the worth of the goal if you don't take the time to enjoy the path that leads there.

In other news a play that I have had the opportunity to reprise once already will be showcased two more times this summer. "Treasures" from the Alpha Psi Omega Show in 24 Hours has been accepted to this year's Annual Samual French Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival. The first showcase will be the preview performance at WPI at the end of may and the second showcase will be at the Sam French festival itself on June 2nd at 7:30.

I'm also going to be playing the role of Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd, which is the A term musical put on by Vox, the WPI Light Opera Company. The amusing thing is that for the second year in a row I play a lecherous older man who goes after a younger woman. The previous role was Sir George Crofts in Mrs. Warren's Profession. Additionally amusing and coincidental is that Sean Cassidy will be playing the affable young man who attemts to win the affections of the same woman and crosses paths with me to get her. Gotta love eery similarities.

Well that's enough for now I think. Hopefully now that the first update is out of the way I'll be back to updating more often.
