mood:  drained, but having fun! music: More to Life - Staci Orrico

Wow, lots has been happening. I haven't been able to keep this updated because I've been hella busy. This summer alone I've done 3 shows and still have 2 more shows to do until July 30th. I made the Dean's List in my school, but this summer's courses may affect my merit since I'm not doing so well in Statistics. I just don't have time to do anything any more.
A normal day for me is rehearsal from 9a - 4:30p and performances from 6:30 - 10:30p. While, I perform one show, I'm in the process of rehearsal for the upcoming show. Last night we closed 7 Brides for 7 Brothers which critics say the "ballets [...] are actually better than their treacly cinematic counterparts" (J. Y. Coppens of Charlotte Observer) and "a vibrant cast [...] choereohraphy [...] helps the ensemble shine, adding an exciting West Side Story combativeness" (P. Tannenbaum of Creative Loafing). Before that I did a play called Tales of the Allergist's Wife which critic Julie York Coppens of Charlotte's Newspaper Charlotte Observer says "Cultured meets crudes" and makes a comment about me, "Alex Aguilar is equally adorable as the doorman-philosopher Mohammed." Fun times! Right now, I'm doing Tech rehearsals for Hansel & Gretel which opens Tuesday and Monday I start rehearsals for the musical Cats.
While doing these shows I'm also taking two classes (Developmental Psychology and Statistics). Developmental Psych is kind of fun, but I hate Stats. I have to get an 89% or higher on my final to pass and the change of that happening is a ratio of 1:3 with a probabilty of 40%.
Things are still great between Jay and I. We did hit a rock on the road and it almost ruined everything, but time is the healer of many things and slowly things are getting better and is actually making the relationship stronger than what it was before, or at least that's what I believe. Everyone told me that the second year in a relationship is the hardest... I can see where they're coming from. Heh.
I may come back down to my other home (Ft. Lauderdale) for a week in August as soon as I finish with the nusical Cats, then come back up and vacation with Jay, and after that start school, my job with Onstar, and rehearsals for the next play I'll be in after all of these which is Larmie Project. I have many pictures and such, but I'll post some on request and when I have more time.
Hope everything is well with anyone who still reads this. Ha. And hoping everyone is living well back at home. And for anyone that may read this that I have been distant to for a while now, all is forgiven. =) |

The Lance site is finally up! I did a photoshoot for Lance Crackers and their site is finally up! Check it out guys... Lance. Make sure you play the game "What's in your pants?" Here are a few stills from the site of me!!! Yay! Also starting looking at Lance Trucks on the highways, stores deliveries, and on the road because I'll be on the site of them. Want a screen saver of lance that I'm on go here
( Go here to see the my Lance pictures )
Quick update on what's been going on. Well, as you can see I've been pretty busy with stuff. I did this photoshoot here in Charlotte, but the ones that are going to be on the trucks was taken in Baltimore. They flew me out there, got me a driver and a hotel, it was awesome. I've auditioned for many shows and right now I'm doing five productions. I'll be dancing to broadway style music sung by the Carolina Choir, along with 7 other great dancers at a major theatre here in Charlotte; I play an Iraqi character named Mahammed in the play Tales of the Allergist's Wife; I'm in the musicals 7 Wives for 7 Brothers as a suitor and Cats as Asparagus (Gus when he's younger); and in the opera Hansel and Gretel. So I've been staying busy and persuing my dreams of acting.
Still doing school, now a sophomore in college! Yay! I got a 3.5 GPA last semester. Doing summer classes to stay ahead since I'm doing all this theatre this summer, I won't have a summer so I might as well do classes too.
Jay and I are still doing great as ever. Planning on going on a vacation after I'm finished with school and theatre this summer and before class starts for the fall. Also planning a few other things but that's not discussable until everything is set in stone.
Anyway, I love you all and miss you all. Hope to be back in Florida soon to see you guys. -BIG KISS!!!-

...as some of you know, today is my birthday. Happy Birthday to me! Not sure what I am doing for my birthday. Jack is taking me out to dinner and we're going to movie. I've been so busy lately its driving me crazy. Things are great here just a little confusing. I auditioned for Cats and 7 Wives for 7 Brothers, and right now I'm in the musical Godspell. School is also keeping me real busy. I love all my classes but they make me want to take a bullet in the head with all the work that is assigned. Heh. Well, just letting everyone know that I am still alive, if anyone even reads this anymore... |

I don't really know why I'm putting this on my journal, its not like I need a response from anyone of you. I guess I just type on here like everyone else does because its a form a venting. Why put it public then for everyone else to read it? Why must I hide anything from anyone is the real question. Writing has always helped me when I ever had an overpowering emotion.
Today I feel so weird, I can't really descibe what I feel. Maybe its anxiety and stress doing a dance across a platform above fire causing a state of confusion and distress. I don't know. What I do know is that I lash at people that I care for and hurt them. I wrote a poem today about it. I actually started writing it when I did the same thing to Jack and my friend Jon a few days ago. They were just being their caring selves and I paid no attention to them. One not tell them anything and pushing them away, and the other telling him off and hurting him emotionally like I've never done before.
It's like my heart is full of all this anger and resentment. I don't even know why it's there.
Truely I believe that I am a kind person and that I'm not this angry and depressed person I read in my poem and sometimes imagine, but what if I'm wrong? What if I'm really this dark soul waiting until all that's holy has left me and once it has the world would come to an end... Yeah, I know it's is not good to think of yourself in such ways, especially in that manner. I wonder if religion is all factual, and if so then this is probably how they anti-christ feels.
I don't even know why I'm saying all these morbid things. My good Southern friends here would tell me, "Alex, you need to find Jesus." Hah. I have though, in the musical I'm in, being with Jack and my friends here, also my friends and family at my other home in Florida. That's where I'm happy. I guess all this morbid depression or anxiety, what ever it may be, is just a momentary breakdown.
Well, I feel a lot better now. Maybe I should be on meds for depression, axiety, anger, or all of the above. Oh look, there's a bird! Damn, ADD... yeah that one too. Heh. Anyway, diagnoses complete - problem solved. That'll be 1000 dollars please. Oh, the poem I wrote is here at the end. Well, I have to start doing a few things and get ready for rehearsal. =)

I cannot not believe this. It's so beautiful. I'll take pictures as soon as our digital camera working but I did take one picture with my phone for you all to see. Story time!!! Okay, so I wake up around 10a or so and I look at my phone to see if I have received any calls or texts, because the weather man said it was going to be bad weather and such today and I was awaiting a call from my director to see if there was going to be a performance tonight. (I think that was a run-on sentence.) Anywho, I see that I have one missed call from my direct Jimmy along with a voice and a text message. (Another run-on I believe, what is wrong with my typing today.) So anyway, I read the text message and its from my friend from class Ajay. It read, "Its snowin. Go play. If U dont U will make me a sad panda 2day." Without thinking twice I jumped off the bed and opened the blinds "OH MY GOD!!! THERE'S SNOW OUTSIDE!!!" Of course my yelling woke up Jack. He told me to go back to bed, but I was WAY to excited to even think of laying back down. I ran to grab my shoes and ran outside in just my pajamas and began to scream, play, and dance. Then I wrote on our outside table "Alex's 1st Snow" with my fingers, which later felt like they were going to fall off. Then I ran to the front and my car and the whole street was covered in ice and snow!
I couldn't really rejoice too much because we had to go watch the musical Movin' Out. So we left for lunch and went to watch the musical. On the way to lunch and the musical, Jack was giving me pointers to drive in the snow and on icy roads since both are so foreign to me. The musical was AMAZING! It was like a Rock Ballet. Anyway, now we have plenty of firelogs and each other to keep warm. "Aww..."

As you know my name is Alex... some of us like to clarify this by typing it in replies -clears throat- but its all good... Now, back to a few things. Some of you heard that I was going to be doing a commercial, well, I did. Its not going to be a televised commercial though, its was a photoshoot for their site. You're probably wonder who... well it was for Lance Crackers. Although my pictures along with the other 4 people I was with wont be posted until March you can check out the site, it's cute. They're completely re-doing it in March though and it's going to look tight. The experience was amazing though.
( The Experience )
After the whole Lance thing I heard about an audition for Godspell, but I was already too late. He told me he had one more spot for a male and asked me to come an audition.
( How it went ) I can't believe I made it. So now I am doing that show in March and my spot will be up in March for Lance. I'm so happy. I'm also in school right now and things are going great between Jack and I. Lots of love guys. Oh, here's a pic of my headshot (specifically for sam who loves pictures). You wanted damn pictures, well there you have it.

So yeah, I figured that I've been gone for too long and for stupid reasons so I decided to come back on here to write. Someone told me that I shouldn't prevent myself from writing because that is how I express myself the best, so I formed the idea to continue writing here. So... "They're heeeeeerre...", well, at least I am.
Waking up this morning I had the pepsi song stuck in my head, not just any pepsi song - you know, the one sung by Brit. Anyway, I'm singing this while grabbing my books to read before class today. I go downstairs and set my books on the coffee table and go to get a drink. Once I opened the freezer to get ice, I saw a box that read "Broccoli Spears". I started laughing so hard, I guess its that "just waking up mind".
I'm mostly going to write poems in here rather than entries and I wont write in here as often as I used to, but at least you guys will know I'm alive. I'm not really writing for anyone but myself, although my previous sentence contradict what I just said. Well, I'm back and I'll post something later to give an update on what's been happening. Buh bye for now. |

...in here. This weekend was fun. "Jay" and I hung out a lot this weekend. Friday, I got my tags and the car insured. Duke and I hung out most of the day running errands. That night, "Jay" and I watched movies at home, Larceny and Badder Santa, both movies were pretty funny. We also tried getting it on but I couldn't get up. Yesterday, we tried again on the couch and it was amazing!!! That night, I went to Dukes to get a CD and discuss about the Film Festival and after "Jay" and I went to watch Hedwig and the Angry Inch, it was AMAZING! That's seriously my new favorite musical! After we watched some of Fletch but then I got tired and went to bed. Today, we watched The Village it was pretty cool but not his best work. I still think that Six Sense was his best. After, we ate dinner at the Palomino and it was nice. The food was real good.
This coming week I'm/we're doing a lot of things. Tomorrow and Tuesday (if not finished), I'm going to run errands with Duke. It's better to do errands with friends than alone. My friend David is coming down from Greensboro to visit "Jay" and me, that'll be cool. This coming weekend we're ("Jay", Duke, and I) are going to Raleigh-Duram to check out the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Duke and I are going to check out some films while "Jay" visits his family.
Well, that's all I'm writing for now, I'll keep you guys posted.
Oh, I forgot!!! I have to go to baseball camp. Hahaha! Yeah, when I did this promotion thing for Hedwig the other day; Dan, the producer; told me that I'm going to baseball camp this coming week. Character delevopment I guess... Heh. Well, yeahh, I'll tell you guys how everything turns out. |

Bon jour, everyone. I realized something last night. I'm the type of person that I don't know how I feel, like someone needs to point something out in order for me to know. For example, last night "Jay" told me I was acting more distant and seemed nauseated by this. I realized then it was true. I always seem to do this in my relationships, distance myself. I guess it's just a defense mech., I wrote about it in one of my first entries. The reason I've been distant is because I've been feeling lonely. I know I'm not alone here but I just miss everything terribly. (By the way Mark, if you're reading this, you must download this song... it's beautiful! Perfect for mood congruent writing, heh.)
It's just hard right now. I guess I realized everything because I don't have anything to do now. I've already applied for many places, auditioned for a show that I made, etc. When the mind's not busy it has time to think and what it thought of was home. Not here, because this is my home now too, but Florida. I noticed all I spoke about yesterday was home, my family, and my friends. I've never spoken about people in my life like I did yesterday, or people that were in my life. I just miss home. -tear-
Also, last night at dinner when talking with "Jay" he seemed disappointed in me or something; I felt as if I failed him. Him and I haven't really spent time together because I've been hanging out with my friends. I'm glad that I'm making friends here. So far, Jesse, Duke, Katie, Heather, and Ryan are my good friends here. They and "Jay" can remedy my feelings of loneliness.
Just a few days ago Jesse and I hung out in his hometown. I got to see what a University, not college, looked like. I was amazing! There are so many buildings and so many things to do. I saw a praying mantis for the first time that night. It was so beautiful. They're pretty big. Him and I walked the whole campus and even snuck in some buildings.
Yesterday, I had Duke come over to watch a movie here at home. He's really cool, reminds me of friends at home. I'm actually hanging out with him after I get off of here.
I think I'm doing better today than I did yesterday. We'll find out as the day progresses, or degresses (Ha, that looks like it says Degrassi! That's for you Shawn and Michah) depending what happens. I'll try to keep you all posted. (Mark download the damn song already!) |

| Straight Day |

Oh man, yesterday was an eventful day. Not only was it eventful, but one of the most straightest days I've ever had, next to watching the Super Bowl with Jared, Michah, Nelson, etc. that one time.
You see, yesterday I received a phone call telling me that I was offered the role of Rodriguez in Take Me Out. Take Me Out is a play about a famous baseball team who's MVP comes out (is gay) and it plays on the team-mates, fans, and media's reaction. The play also has partial/full nudity and my character is one of those who will never be seen clothed because I'm mostly in the locker room or shower.
Anyway, I wanted to celebrate for getting the role so I called up one of my friends here to see if they got back from their baseball game. He had and asked me to come over for a few beers. While there, I drank a few beers and we watched baseball.
Becoming Straight
Step 1:Watch A Sport
Step 2:Drink More Than 1 Beer (Bud or Heineken)
After drinking with my friend and watching baseball, I went back home. I was a little tipsy (Er'body in da club get tipsy!) on the drive home and fucking hungry so I went to Burger King and bought a King Sized #5.
Step 3:Eat Food That Is Non-Dietary (Anything With Carbs)
At home I ate and after took a shower. I received a phone call from Heather, Katie, and Ryan, asking if I wanted to go to the Breakfast Club, which is an 80's Club/Bar/Arcade. I of course accepted and got ready. I met them there and we got in for free because we were on the list, I also got free drinks from the bartender "It's on me" It was a pretty cool club. That night was college night and they had a Miss Hawaiian Tropics Bikini Contest. Some of the girls were hot and I yelled for them to get into their bikinis. I was so lusting over Contestant # 2, that's the one I wanted to win and she did.
Step 4:Yell At Girls to Get Naked!
The night ended with giving the girls hugs and Ryan a handshake-hug-pat on back thing. You know, you do a hand shake thing, pull them close and with the other hand you pat them on their back.
Step 5:Don't Get Too Close to Another Man
Yup, so that was my fun filled night out in the city. |

Grr... Woosh... Growl, Bam, Strike!!! These are a few words that describe my ferociousness. I'm going to make ferious waves all throughout the east coast. Of course I'm talking about the tropical storm and soon to be hurricane, Alex. It's freakin' huge! It almost covers three states...
There I am, now I'm big in two areas! Heh. Anyway, enough of me acting like a dork, let me give you a little update on what's been going on.
As for "Jay" and I, things are going great! I'm loving him more everyday. I've been making a few friends here which is cool.
Jesse is someone I met at the mall and him and I have been hanging out for sometime. He's realy cool and I've met a few friends of his. I know he's going to be one of my good friends here.
Will is another person I met, him and I were going to play Tennis together but he lots his balls so we sat out and talked about how redneck NC can be. Haha.
Three friends that I hope to become good friends; Katie, Heather, and Ryan; are 3 people I met at a going away party of two other friends I've made, Shawn and Zack. I actually met Katie and Ryan at a party "Jay" and I threw but we were reintroduced this past weekend at Shawn and Zack's party.
Heather, Katie, and I went shopping at Concord Mills the other day, a mall very similar to Sawgrass but way better, and boy did I bargain shop. Well, not necessarily bargain shop but everything was way cheap. I bought like 2 jackets for the fall/winter, a pair of jeans, a tee-shirt, a pair of dress sneakers, and sandels for less than $200. It was so awesome!
I drove to Greensboro the other day and met up with a friend. Greensboro is college town about 2 hours away, but here, places that far don't seem that far. Well, I met David and we went to his friend Robbie's party. It was fun... After that, I helped him move some of his stuff from his house to his car because he was moving. I only slept one hour in the 24-48 hours of my trip up there. It was fun!
Anyway, so far good friends I have are Josh, who is my bestfriend here, Jesse, David, Will, Katie, and Heather. I hope to make more.
Other things that I've been doing; looking for job and getting ready for school. |

Okay so I was just on the phone with my Billums when I received a voicemail. I checked it after getting off of the phone with him and it was a message from my grandmother. She said that my mother wants to talk to me and to give her a call tonight, that she's getting married tomorrow! That's what I heard, I'm not sure if that's what was really said, but that's what I heard. I'm so happy yet sad if that's what I heard. Happy because my mother's boyfriend is a great guy and I've always called him my stepfather; sad because I'm not going to be able to attend their binding. |

Well, I've been a little busy body this past week. It's just been a little crazy changing all my information. Getting a new bank account, trying to get my license, school stuff, etc. It's been a little crazy here, but I'm doing great! The only problem I had was this weekend; things got a little crazy. See, Saturday we had people over and we all drank a little, okay more than a little, and things got crazy. There's pictures that can be used to blackmale, let's just say. Heh. Also my wallet got stolen at the end of the night. Let me explain, one of the people I met that night drank too much and when I was already passed out, along with everyone else, he took my wallet along with his cds which were together. I totally freaked the next morning wondering where my wallet was! It had all my information, my birth certificate, social security card, license, my credit cards, etc. I finally received word that he had it in his car. I was ID-less for about 2 days. My name was John Doe, but now I'm Alex again... yay!!! My audition for the play "Take Me Out" is Saturday and there's a musical audition for "The Pageant" is tomorrow. I'll let you know how everything goes. Anyway, I'm hungry and it's dinner time and you all know how I am when it comes to food. Bye for now. |
