Woo! "South Pacific" premiered last night and... we... KICKED! The show was awesome! If any of you have ever performed in front of a live audience, you're right there with me when I say it's one of the most exhilerating sensations. Your energy fills their's which in turn fills yours even more and makes for an unforgettable show. The applause, the laughter, such a high. I love this industry! I SO want to do this for a living! Sure, the anxiety wears on your nerves and putting make-up on every night can be murder on your face. But in the end, when you get that standing O at curtain call and get acclaimed in the lobby (and sometimes even WEEKS after the show's over), it's all worth it. Just knowing that those people came to be entertained and you just made their night (and possibly their whole month),.... *sigh* man. And I get to do it SIX MORE TIMES!! Wow! I'd go on, but I'm too exhausted. Left it all on stage as they say. So I'll just post today's webisode and be done with it.

On an unrelated note, I checked the articles page last night and I'M THE HIGHEST RATED WRITER!! And I've only writen 1 article. Yeah. One article that everybody LOVES! BOO-YAH!!

J: (sitting in the dojo wearing a traditional gi) “knock knock” J: Hai! Dozo! K: (slides open the door) You wanted to see me, otosan? J: (nods) C’mere Kida. K: (sits down in front of Justin) J: Ever since you saw your mother and I spar, you’ve been fascinated. You begged us and we promised to someday teach you how to fight. I know your mother has already shown you much, but I have yet to teach you the ways of the sword and the code of the knight. K: I’m ready. J: Yes, you are. (gets up and opens his sword cabinet, pulls out a long object wrapped in brown paper) K: (stares curiously) J: Washu tells me that she’s just begun to teach you high-school level academics. I guess you can call this a graduation gift. (hands her the object) K: (slowly unwraps it) .... *gasp* (pulls out a 40” bastard sword) J: I recieved my first blade when I was your age. This is a custom job; forged especially for you. Kida-chan. K: (bows deeply) Domo arigato gozaimasu, oto.... sensei. J: Sensei? Oh, cut the formalities and give your old man a hug. K: (hugs Justin) Thank you, daddy! Oh, thank you so much! ^_^ J: You’re very welcome. ^_^ K: (picks the sword up) What’s its name? J: It’s your blade. You name it. K: (stares at the sword) ...... I don’t know. J: That’s OK. Most blades can’t be named right away. You have to know it first. K: Nya? Know it? J: Work with it. Get a feel for it. Know its strengths; its weaknesses. Then you will know its true name. K: (nods) J: And you’re going to get to know it pretty soon. (grabs a longsword off the wall) On your feet. Lesson 1 begins now.

I appreciate your comments.
