| So.....
It really had been a while. Ive been through perhaps the greatest trip of my life.The people I miss and, those that I soon will. The memories that wont ever leave. And the relief that comes with that knowledge. Weeks on a different planet, the the people that were needed to provide the strength that would help me grow. Or those that were lacking that and I had to literally carry them through the streets on my back, so the ship wouldnt leave us behind. A short lived romance and a fleeting correspondance. And the confidence, that allowed me to accept.
5 days, in utah at the Soar camp. The "Brown camp". The strength, humor, inginuity, creativity, and love of a minority program that could not be found hidden in any other A.C.T. prep course. My 99 companions who I learned with, danced with, climbed with, and laughed with. Some who came to Hawaii long after the summer had ended all the way from the island on the other side of the continent.
And not to mention all the times in between then and now. Footloose at Manoa Valley Theatre was life changing... Right then and there I was addicted to community theatre.. My name is Lyle and I'm a singing, dancing crony of Chuck Cranston. Great people, great friends.
Aladdin Jr. at Diamond Head Theatre.... So different, but enlightening. I saw it through the eyes of age and experience. Not to mention Dudes Night Out and my newfound love for Breakfast Jacks. My name is Guard Number One and I'm a stone faced chiseled idiot, except when Im cheerleading for Jafar. Great people, lifelong friends.
Songs for a New World at La Pietra. In progress but one of the most significant. Most of the Aladdin kids. Well most of the important ones anyways. I have gained a family in the past couple of weeks. A family of all different proportions The parents who care and try and give direction in those times of directional and acrobatic strife... Twins of my age and lifestyle, Twins that were born and branched in different directions and only realising the roots now, who have grown and grown close. Shared saplings and thoughts, segway into the way our leaves rustle and sing in perfect harmony. Whistle in the wind and dance, whistle in the wind and learn to let go, and to really know that... What will be will be. And siblings, gosh.... the little siblings that I never had, who looked up to me, and let me be young again, who allowed me to be looked up to. My name is Charlie, and I'm a young hardworking lawyer who sings of love and steam trains and who dreams to live in that new world. Beautiful people, in all aspects of the word, and everlasting friends.
And now Lil Abner over at Castle. In progress and definately a bucket load of new experiences. Leading is new for me, especially when Im trying to find my feet.The distance begets new ideas and thoughts. Changes. The sun setting on a relationship that appeared to be a sunrise. The greater sun rise catches the light. And only time will tell what remains. My name is Abner, and I'm a muscular stipud hic who doesnt want to get married to Daisey. Great people and timeless friends.
The first semester of my senior year is history.
and this is what I have to show for it....... |
