My Life In A Nutshell!
Monday, 15 March 2004
HALIFAX - One Week In....
So, This is my first entry in the BLOG. - I'm out here in Halifax, and it's 5:18am... I've been away from home for a week now, and living on my own... I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss my family and friends at least a little bit.

I've been away from the family for a week before, but now we're pushing the time limit a bit further, and I'm starting realize just how far away from them I am...and yet, only hours away by plane.

I do LOVE it here so far. - The apartment I'm in seems great, ..although I do have to admit, I have this fear of bugs. - I've only seen one big, undiscribable thing..and two extremely small ones, ...I just have this feeling that the apartment is sooo great that it will be my ultimate fear of BUGS...that I will come face to face with in the near future.

Here's hoping that doesn't happen!!!

I've made one cool friend here in the area, his name is Adam, lives just down the street a bit. - He's a writer, enjoys writing books and also has an interest in music. - We've hung out the last couple of nights, got a bite to eat, watched some odd movies, and just talked for a while. - The best part about having him around is that he's the ONLY person in the area to know me now.

Talking to Adam this evening, I told him, that as much as I miss everyone...which is ALOT...it's also nice to have this distance...to be far away and not have any problems or worries banging on my door step. - He knew the feeling well.

Don't get me wrong, I love the people in my life, but sometimes just peace and quiet and being able to roam free with out running into familliar faces can be a great relief.

Although having a weee bit of money trouble while out here, everything is going GREAT! - We begin rehearsal on Friday (which is the 19th of March 2004), I've chatted with 2 fellas who are in the cast with me, they appear online from time to time, they seem pretty decent, but I will save that judgement for when I meet them face to face.

Hopefully this "BLOG" will become a staple to my time out here, ...although I know already that I'm bound to miss several days, perhaps weeks....but hopefully I'll be able to catch up and fill people in.

I've had an ample opportunity to write some new music while away, and the creativity has been flowing (knock on wood...hopefully that doesn't change. lol) - Other then that, I was thinking today how I miss the work I use to do at the high school. - I miss the students, Sandy, the faces, and the challenge that directing, and creating a musical brought to me.

An, intense stress that was enjoyable. - Hard to believe ANY stress could be enjoyable..but this was!! - Working with high school students was with out a doubt one of the biggest highlights in my entire life. - Watching them struggle to succeed and shining through with flying colours.

No gift can echo the sight of happiness in their eyes at the end of a performance and the audience would rise to their feet, celebrating in the success that THEY created.

I miss that. - One day, hopefully I'll be able to try it again...but it won't be the same as it was with MY KIDS!!!

(Laughing) - My kids? - Most of them are in their 20's now and off in University, or College, or with family, or starting a family of their own. - But I think about them, like it was yesterday. Those "KIDS" taught me soooo much, as did Sandy. - I firmly believe that part of the person I am today, A HUUUUGE part of the person I am today, I can thanks those "kids" for.

But sometimes even the best of times have to end...so that life can move forward, and moving forward is what I am doing....after all..CATS!!

I'm still struggling with the idea that I've been cast as the lead in CATS! at a highly reputable theatre in Halifax Nova Scotia. - I also have trouble believing that with in the last 3 years, I've been cast as a lead performer in 3 different shows. - 1 of them I was unable to do, and I turned down, but only God knows that there was a reason for that. - (Besides my dad being very sick.)

But here I am, typing a blog, about my next step in the theatre world. You may not believe, but I certainly do.... and I've no shame is writing "God Works in Mysterious Ways!"

I may not always understand the reasoning behind why the world works the way it does, and why things happen, but I am a firm believer that they happen for a purpose...a purpose that if you don't understand it now, you will in time.

Well, I guess it's time to sign off for the evening, ... I'll try to update this as much as possible, and until then... MY LOVE to ALL OF YOU - Here's to making this world a better place. Dave, Lauren, Jenny, Sandy, My B.I.C. kids and the students, family and friends who have shared in my life...my opening night performance of CATS I dedicate to you. - You rock my world.

LOVE ALWAYS

LEE xo
