I just wanted to say that I love my mom... she's the greatest. It was her birthday today... (shhh... don't tell anyone... she's for tee ate. (that's code for 48) shh...) But yeah, I love her to death and stuff... We went to Red Lobster today and got fat. Good stuff.
Anyway, a toast for all mothers who rock.
Cheers.

Hey gang... now for something a little more light-hearted...
I'M HOOKED ON MUSICALS! I had a lot of fun doing My Fair Lady in drama last year, but it didn't really spark an interest in me. So this past June, we went to Broadway in New York and watched Phantom of the Opera. I took some pictures inside Phantom of the Opera and Hairspray. Yeah, I know you're not supposed to, but I loved it a lot... just had to.
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Wow! This was an incredible musical! It was my first and I loved it very much. The story is so rich and emotion driven. Good stuff. Great acting, great singing. Loved it.
HAIRSPRAY: THE MUSICAL
I saw this in San Diego as I mentioned a couple days ago with my mom. It was a lot of fun to watch. There was just a bunch of energy. Also, Bruce Vilanch was so funny. He plays Tracy's mom in the musical. There were a lot of ad libbed parts that he did... From our political system to Martha Stewart... it was so funny. Anyway, had a blast. SEGREGATION SUCKS!
THE PRODUCERS
This is going to be great. I've kinda wanted to see this since it first came out, I think two-three years ago. Anyway, I'm going to be seing this in Orange County on August 22... So yeah, I heard it's really funny and somewhat offensive. Nice. Mel Brooks is the man.
Musical Fever: Inhale it, get infected, cough it up, give it to the one you love.

I'm serious. I want this freakin war to end, now! I hate that we're over there killing people and that we're sending our own citizens over there to a hostile place where our own are dying everyday.
I read today that they found the head of Paul Johnson, an American who worked on Apache hellicopters. He was captured and soon after, beheaded. I did some research online and stumbled across a link to a site that had pictures and a video of the beheading. I really didn't want to watch it, but the curious side of me did, so I checked out the pictures, and my eyes welled up with tears. War is so ugly... I hate this. I definitely knew I didn't want to watch the video... but I did. It made me sick. Sick to my stomach (It's very, very graphic) and sick just about fighting and war and all this crap. I don't know how I feel about them putting the video on the internet, but first amendment rights and all... Ugh. It's disgusting.
If you really want to see the pictures and the video, you'll be able to find it... I'm definitely not giving out the link here. Have a strong stomach too... I can take pretty gruesome/gross stuff... but this was hard for me.
Man, I hope this ends soon. Peace and love to all our troops and civilians out there. We're praying for you and want you all to return safely. God, watch over them...
Yeah, it's me again. There's nothing going on today, so I'm making another post. This isn't news to some people, but it is to most... I cut my hair! Yep, I sold out and fell victim to the man. (My Mom). She hates long hair. I had to appease her. I got it cut real short, and put some highlights in. Anyway, here is what my hair looked like, and what it looks like now.
Before
After
Nice eh? And because I'm even more conceited, here are more views of my hair:

There... if you didn't have enought pictures of my hair, there it was. Man, I'm really bored... 8:00 couldn't come any slower.
Peace,

Weird... third post of the day. Anyway, I discovered this new thing called audioblogging! It's been around for awhile and Blogger is offering it for free for its users. All you do is call a number, imput your unique information, then record a message, and they'll post it to your blog. It's pretty sweet. They say it's useful when you're away from a computer, on the road, or just want to hear your voice. It's stored on their site in mp3 format, then when you click on a link, like the one below, it'll download and play the message. It's pretty neat. Anyway, it's cool... If you're on blogger, try it out. Audioblogger.com
Yo! Wassup? Well, went to Best Buy today and my mom bought me a CD! She's the coolest! I'm just kidding. But seriously, she is. Anyway, I bought --well, my mom bought Chronic Future's new EP out called "Lines In My Face". And it rocks! It's different and it's really good stuff.
You can click on the picture below to launch the band's player. There you can watch their new music video for "Time and Time Again" and listen to some other songs on their CD. I like it a lot.
Hey, I'm making a lot of posts to make up for how long I've been gone. Well, I'm addicted to these shows... I know, I know, I'm a nerd. But I really like watching them change people's rooms into either a disaster or something pretty cool. A lot of them really turn out bad, though... here's an example:
Oh Dangit! It's all white!... I didn't see this episode, so I don't know if they liked it, but that thing is hideous! Anyway, just wanted to share that with you guys... I'm off to youth group...
L8r!

| I just wanted to share that I'm really excited about this movie coming out. I loved the first one, so I'm looking forward to this one too. December 10! Wooo! Actually, I'm just testing out this new picture posting site that I joined so that I could post photos to my blog from my mac. I guess it works, don't know if I like it that much though. Take care of yourself. Cy |  |
Hey gang,
Man it's been a long time since i've updated this thing. Almost more than a month. I actually tried to post something on the 4th of July, but something went wrong or something.
Anyway, how are you? Thanks for dropping by. Not many people read this anyway, so think of yourself as pretty darn special.
So I went to San Diego this past weekend with the folks, it was pretty awesome. I slept all the way there and all the way back, so no long drive for me. But anyway, We were down there because it was my uncle's 50th birthday. His family threw him a huge bash, about a hundred or so people were there. There was a caterer and everything, some awesome food, some awesome music, awesome stuff. It's crazy though, because most of my cousins are older than me, so a lot of them were drinking. A lot. It was actually quite funny to watch.
That got me thinking. 50 years old... that's only 33 years away for me. I'm basically a third of the way there. 50! That's crazy...
On Sunday we went downtown where we stayed at a pretty nice hotel right in the heart of downtown. Sunday night, my mom and I saw Hairspray the musical. We weren't really planning on it. It was just an idea. We didn't have tickets or anything, we actually went 20 minutes before the show started to see if they had leftover tickets. $32 for cheap seats up in the balcony. We ran into a lady who was with her church group and two people in her group couldn't make it, so she sold the tickets to us. $100 for two tickets, Row K of the Orchestra section. These were $68 seats, so we got a great deal! My mom had a lot of fun. It was the first time she saw a musical. I had seen Phantom of the Opera this past June on Broadway in N.Y., and since then, I've been hooked on musicals. I'm going to see The Producers in Orange County on August 22.
Well, that's all the time I have for right now... Gotta go do stuff...
Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease,
Cy
Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted. Well anyway, Happy fourth to you all! Hope it's memorable.

1. Went to Washington, D.C., Amish Country (Lancaster County, PA), New Jersey, and New York with my senior class ('05!).
2. Father's Day at Black Angus.
3. Super Senior Summer Smash at Alex Burt's house.
4. Cross Country practices.
