Doubt

It's been said that it takes a village to raise a child but, I wonder, what does it take to raise an adult?

Because 'til this day, I still question. I still need help. This is one ferociously winding road and guidance is always required -- isn't it? Or am I the only one?

I cannot stand alone.

But, it seems, I'm supposed to.

How?

Oh, I have doubts.

The Road

Someone sat and wrote this
or maybe he did it while standing up
either way
think about it...

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it may be harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin."

Goodbye, Love

On September 7, 2008, RENT will say goodbye to Broadway.

Currently the seventh longest running Broadway show to date, the Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning musical masterpiece has been a great inspiration for many. It's so sad to see this go. I've seen it on Broadway five times and have plans to go and see it one last time before its final curtain. I'm excited but it's all so bittersweet.

To the master and creator, Mr. Jonathan Larson -- thank you for envisioning the dream and setting out to achieve it. You rocked us all.
