Its funny the things kids say. Today we danced at a elementary school. Now, I know that alot of these kids have never seen dance before, so this is a new experience. In one of our dances “ASIA” we all wear the same type of costume. A type of asain influnced costume. Well, my shirt is longer than the other male dancer in the company due to my gigantic butt.  Anyway, as we were walking in to do the peice for the first show, one random little boy, ask “ARE YOU WEARING A DRESS?” I wanted to say NO, you little bastard its a long shirt, BUT I did’nt. It was funny if anything. I just ignored him and laughed to myself.

The second show, one of our dancers became ill and we had to cut and paste the show to make up for a missing dancer, so we ended with the same peice Asain peice (we usually don’t). Well, as we are ending the peice I noticed a little boy maybe 4yrs old, with his hand up wanting to ask a question or so I thought. Well we ended the show and the had closing remarks, rolled the floor up and tried to hurry to leave and beat the buses. As we are putting the floors in their bags I notice the little boy STILL has his hand up, so I decide to see what he wants. I walked over to him and asked did he have a question, and he looks at me and says in the deepest voice( especially for a 4 yr old) “I really liked your show!”-I don’t know if I was more in shock because of his voice or because he actually told me that. So after I said thank you I told him I like his hat (which was a blue some sort of hat) and again in the deepest voice he says Thank You!

This was before they made my shirt

I recently had the chance to see a dance performance (AN ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL DANCE PERFOMANCE, other than the company that I belong to) here in WV this weekend. River North Chicago is the name of the company I think.

        Anywho, while there an interesting thing happened that made me want to give this woman the mother of the year award. The company was in the middle of performing on stage, and I happened to hear this noise. I look around to see where it is coming from. In front of me were 2 older ladies, probably mid 40’s early 50 talking. In the seats next to them were 4 little boys in a row, ranging from the ages of 5-12 and their mother. The oldest of the children was the fortunate one to be seated next to the talkers, anyway I digress. I hear this noise of the ladies talking or so I thought. As I am abou to look back at the performance, I see th elittle boy slightly turn his head and I hear- shhhh(slightly). WHAT- Did that just come from that little boy?( I am thinking). Again, I hear SHHHH(a little louder)OMG this little boy is shhing these ladies(I continue to think), and the lady next to him turns and looks at this little boy. At this moment the little boy puts his finger to his mouth and shhhhs this lady louder. I was in absolute shock. Needless to say, the woman shut up. At that moment I was very pruod of that little boys mom, for actuaklly teaching him that it is not acceptable to be rude and speak during performances- at  least as loud as these ladies were. Not only because of that but also because she brought her four boys to a dance perfomance, and the bouys were very interested in what was going on, on that stage. It was as if she was showing her boys it’s acceptable to do absolutely anything you want, and real men do dance, not the stereo-type that society has given us.

ANYWAY, as far as those two ladies? After intermission the mom sat once chair down from the two ladies with the boys on the other side, and the ladies did not peep the rest of the performance.

I think todays society has totally lost the concept of …..well just life in general. It has come to my attention that people just don’t give a shit anymore. Believe me I am not excluding myself whatsoever, but we are not talking about me.

We have poeple out here like Paris Hilton who has all the money in the world, has not worked a day in her life, Yet she is a role modeling for kids. She says what she wants and does what she wants. WHere is that acceptable and COOL! Where is our society going? Britney Spears has completely gone AWOL. Where did the world go wrong with her. Lindsey Lohan is an confused alcoholic, but has SO much talent, and does nto even know who she is. Public fiqures calling people fags ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. I mean SERISOULY. Whatever happened to people like Judy Garland(who kept there private life-PRIVATE) Doris Day, and oddly enough James Dean- as crazy as he was- (most people have spent there lives and money making assumptions about him)

Whatever happened to be kind to your fellow man. I don’t think people really realize, the things we say to each other sometimes CAN hurt that person. There is a difference between being mean to help someone(which can actually happen, such as an intervention or such) and being mean just for means sake. I think this is where alot of complexes come from. To make matters worse, the one that does the insulting gets a response and then everyones getting angry and is ready to fight

Being mean to help someone is NOT actually being mean its being helpful, and I don’t mean thathelpful where you tell someone “OH GOD THAT SHIRT IS HIDIOUS!’ because that is not being helpful, that is being mean(funny, but mean). I am very guilty of that one. But, to say something to someone in a way that is demeaning and degrading is wrong. No matter how funny it is. I am not really goign to get into much detail or I will just end up going off, basically what I am trying to say is-Careful the things you say.

ok- I don’t know about anyone else- but this time change thing BLOWS!! And I mean like the wind! a strong angry gust of wind, you know the kind that happens before a tornado.

But I digress, For as long as I can rememeber even as a child, Turning the hour ahead has always screwed me up mentally and physically. Its something about losing that hour that makes my body go backwards. I guess, its just trying to catch that extra hour it lost. I don’t know.

Because of this WONDERFUL time change, not only is it harder for me to get up in the morning, but I wake up a million times during the night wondering if I am late for rehearsal or call or ANYTHING!! My body aches differently than it usually does, things hurt that are just random. Now I know alot of you are going ot say:” IT”S ALL A PART OF GETTING OLDER”, and I say to you- blow me! It’s not!! It’s also harder to get to sleep at night. My mind is still racing 100 miles a minute, so I have to light a candle and really concentrate on clearing it, with works-SOMETIMES. Others I just lay there and count to……………………….

Anyway, It usually takes about a week for everything to kick in or for me to KICK it in!

p.s. I also forgot to say that it feels like the day is NEVER GOING TO END!!!!

 It’s only Tuesday and feels like Friday

I have recently had a stare-down with myself in the mirror and have come to the conclusion that I need a tighter more sexy stomach. NOt only for the ladies(hahahahaha) but I just really want to feel better about myself. I think I eat pretty healthy but apprently thats not enough.

 SUPPOSEDLY, your supposed to exercise also. I have had this ab lounger since Feb, its worked a little but its also hard when your on tour alot and I REALLY don’t so enough sit-ups in rehearsal and class. SO this is my legal documentation, signed with blood. I will and am determined to do this, and within six weeks. THERE WILL BE A CHANGE.

Six weeks from now if I rememeber to do this. If there is no change I personaly give you permission to come and stab me in the eye

ok So,

It’s morning, Your STARVING, but your on this eating healthy kick. What to do-What to do?

I spend most of my days like this. Not just in the morning but all day. It  also seems that when I am extremely hungry, Its harder for me to decide what I want to eat.

I personally eat an abnormal amount of broccoli, which most people who are around me alot know. I dont particulary love it, but I know its good for you. Occasionally I get a craving for a breakfast food such as a “Ron” from TUTORS. Which is a HUGE biscuit, an egg and a HUGE Sausage pattie. with a drink and hash brown coated in cooking grease.

1. I don’t eat pork, I actually only eat chicken (but thats poultry)

2. Its all grease

3. Its about 1 million calories

But me being the person I am, and as hungry as I get. I said FUCK IT. and I get the damn thing. Knowing I will suffer for it later adding to my already big ass. The bubble guts, or better yet Death from so much cooking grease.  Of course, after eating it you feel guilty as hell because you have just put POISON into your body and NOW you have to do an extra set of crunches and sit-ups to make up for it.

 The moral of the story kids is: If you see me with anything fried, dyed, or flipped to the side, SLAP IT OUT OF MY GOT DAMN HANDS

The older I get the more of my friends are getting married and having children. (and not in that order) Yet! I am still single and I have a cat that I absolutely hate!! Evertime I talk to my friends from college they ask me, “Jaymez, Have you made up your mind yet? Are you STILL single? Your a great guy, why are you not dating.” Believe me, if I new that answer I would not be posting this right now.

     I have always been one of those people who was very focused on what I am doing and the direction my life is taking, even if I don’t know exactly where that may be. I do believe that someone in my line of business does not have time for that curse called “love”. However there are so many that do find it, and they are very lucky. (I HATE YOU) But for me, Its just not possible, so many factors fall into place for my reason of solitude and chastity.

Location: Unfortunately I am in West Virginia, not a bad place for some. Horrible for me I am WAY to big fo this place.

Time: I travel with a touring company. What am I going to do, pick up a hitcher and start to date them? I don’t think so. When we are not touring we are rehearsing. When I am not rehearsing I am serving in the restaurant. WHo has time to PEE let alone date.

People: I really have met some wonderful people here, who have changed my life and I deeply cherish there friendships (about 30) the rest of them can go straight to hell!

There are several more reasons but I cannot post them because of legal reasons

I am pretty sure this is the same in most places, but I am in THIS place right now so………….

What I am basically saying is, who needs love when you have your friends, books, sleeping pills and your hand.
