Ok, so this may be totally random but I'm putting it out there because I want my thoughts out of my head. I'm watching "The Pregnancy Pact"and it kind of makes me mad. How can a group of girls in high school make a pact to all get pregnant. I mean don't get me wrong, children are great and I want kids and I know girls that had kids way too young, but high school...a pact? I just don't get it. Is this all because of Jamie Lynn Spears? Other than her, most and I say most celebrities are waiting until their mid 30s early 40s to have children. Or could it be the lack of parental supervision and discipline in the world? Or could it be the lack of personal and moral values that teenagers have today are so totally screwed up they feel the need to have sex and get pregnant? I'm 23 and single and at times I feel like I'm missing out and becoming "too old" to start a family because girls that I graduated high school with are married and having children; at the same time, there's no way in hell that I could fathom having a kid or kids at my age. If anyone is reading this, I mean no disrespect; this is just me getting my thoughts out and trying to answer burning questions in my head.
Oh great, and as I'm writing all of this one of the pregnant girls on the movie is chugging liquor because she lied to her boyfriend and he dumped her. That's another reason why 15 year olds shouldn't be pregnant; they don't understand the repercussions of their decisions. Do they not know that drinking leads to fetal alcohol syndrome which causes mental and physical delays. Sorry, I'm a special education teacher and that made me go off on a rant.
P to the S....I LOVE KIDS! My sister had a child way too early (she got pregnant the night of her college graduation) and yes, she made a poor decision and put her life on hold (still holding after 3 years) but I love my nephew like a fat kid loves chocolate cake and wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.
Going to go and finish watching this movie and then heading to bed! Goodnight blog readers (if you're out there reading my blogs).

Moonstruck
Hello again!
Since I'm new at this, I'm not sure if I should write daily or just whenever I feel like it but I just watched an epic movie. "Moonstruck" is one of my favorites. If you don't know, Cher, Nicholas Cage and Olympia Dukakis are some of the main characters. It's a love story set in Brooklyn during the late 80s early 90s. I can't help but feel giddy when I watch it. I guess you could say I'm a hopeless romantic and would love to have my life be a reflection of a movie with a good love story and a happy ending. Are happy endings only things in movies? I mean, look at the statistics for divorce in our country. You can't help but think "Am I going to get a happily ever after or is my life doomed to be part of another statistic?" I guess I'm just hoping that since I haven't found happily ever after here in Charleston, maybe I'll find it in NYC. Who knows what will happen. For now, this will be an open-ended question and maybe, just maybe I'll find that one person that I can spend the rest of my life with and get the fairy tale ending.
Until next time!

The Sounds of Summer
Hello fellow bloggers and/or blog readers. I decided to give this thing a shot and see how I liked it. I figured it would be a good way to get my thoughts (good or bad) out of my head and onto something a bit more tangible.
I'm beginning my first blog talking about my new sounds of summer. I have recently become enthralled with the broadway world and considering I'm moving there in a year, I figured I needed to be in the know with performers. Over Spring Break 2011, my mom and I went to NYC and saw two shows; Jersey Boys and Mamma Mia. While JB was awesome, MM was undoubtedly the show stopper. I fell in love with the performer who played Donna (Lisa Brescia). For days I couldn't get her out of my head. When I got back home in SC, I googled her and soon began my stalker-ish (yes, but not in the creepy sense) ways. I found videos on YouTube, Wikipedia-ed her, found her personal website, and then just for kicks, searched for her on Itunes. Low and behold, found a couple of songs she sang for Ordinary Days and Sort of Love Songs. THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN HAS THE GOODS!!!! She can sing the hell out of a song and has the ability to put you in a trance. It even got to the point, where my students (special needs) students were starting to sing some of the songs.
Fast forward a couple of months. Here I am, still listening to the same YouTube videos of Lisa and it's been what...almost three months....am I a little obsessed? Maybe. Could you call me crazy? Yeah, probably, but if you haven't heard her voice..then you have no clue. Did I mention that I now have added Tracie Thoms and Beth Leavel to my sounds of summer list? Lastly, Scott Alan (composer) is a musical genius. I have most of his songs on my Ipod and listen to them constantly. Currently, "Love, Love, Love" is my theme song.
I'm not sure about this whole blog thing, but it's nice to be telling things to people other than my parents and friends. It makes me feel like people listen when I'm talking (typing in this case) even if no one is reading my blog. Anyways, it's way past bedtime but I've officially decided that I am a Lisa Brescia fan for life and will follow her career until I can't see or hear anymore.
Goodnight blogging world!!
