The Voice.
There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
“I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong.”
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What’s right for you — just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.
By Shel Silverstein
I'm stressed and upset.
I’m not going to see any one of my friends before I leave because of this snow.. Please. Please. PLEASE come to visit me this winter break. Anyone and everyone is welcome. I’m having withdrawals. When I get back to New York, I will just be working.. That’s it. I am not ready for that. I just wanted to come home, relax, and see friends. Well, I relaxed. A lot. Too much. I’ve...
This is very upsetting...
I have to leave tomorrow! and this snow is making it nearly impossible for me to see anyone. Not only do I not have a car, I leave in West Greenwich and the roads have not even been plowed. I just want to see people! :(
"When I was wrapping your gifts, I felt like I was...
This is what my mom tells me while I’m opening my gifts. I did not ask for anything in particular, so she got me really classic stuff that I will have for a long time, which is awesome. She got me a really nice scarf, warm gloves, a cashmere sweater, a leather journal, a nice watch, and a leather messenger bag. It was the nicest Christmas ever. Its all things I always get the cheap version...
Well I just ran out of Christmas wrapping paper..
So I am wrapping my father’s gift in bright green wrapping paper that I got for Mike’s birthday, drawing a snowflake or two on it and writing a note that says “pretend I’m Christmas paper.” Oh college. Oh Christmas. Why have you made me so poor that I do not even have enough to go out and buy my own father proper wrapping paper. Oh and also, I’m using package...

So I had a fairly terrible day. First, I had to sit for literally three hours at a car repair shop. Everytime one thing was fixed, they told me something else was wrong. (I don’t doubt them, my car sucks.) Then, I found out that one of my wheel was cracked, and they wouldn’t put a new tire on it,…
Well, can’t say i didn’t warn you about this in the summer..
Sometimes I just know I need to do something.
I don’t know what in God’s name is calling me, but I know I have to do this. I always thought “hey maybe it would be cool if I could do this..” but now, after that one-on-one, I know. This is not a maybe, just a when. And the when is hopefully this summer. Everything I have set my mind I’ve done so far, this is going to be no different.

Just another reason to love New York, thank you Bagel Bob’s.

True Life: I have a slight addiction to The Hunger...
Thank you Amy Cordileone.
I just walked through Pless
And I did not see any Ed Theatre students. The semester is officially coming to a close.
I love Ed Theatre.
Its a Sunday night. White brick studio, hard wood floors, fresh fruit cups, red wine, and an experimental version of The Taming of the Shrew entitled Shr3w (its subtle is “come play with us”). All free. One of the many reasons to love Ed Theatre and my many talented friends.
I know how to save money.
I’m a freak, and I’m already buying books for next semester. So far, the cheapest I would have been able to purchase the books at the NYU bookstore (the used ones) would have been 98 dollars. Guess what I spent? 29. On online, and I’m including the shipping prices my friends. I got a 63 dollar book for 11 bucks. Just saying if you need help looking for books, get at me.
Good morning world!
Ah! This is the first Friday where I haven’t had to get up and go to 9am class. so sleeping, it was beautiful. I’m now refreshed, rejuvenated, and I just got paid this morning, so I now have enough money in my checking that I don’t have to draw from savings to buy gifts! Yippie!
I've had enough of this. - excuse this rant.
Why, when I come back to my room, are there four people in here that don’t even live in here? I have no issue with company. In fact, I love my room being the life of the party. But when there are four people in here and my roommate is not one of them, I’m gonna have an issue. This is Mike’s and my room, not yours. I don’t mind you being here, I understand you are a commuter...

My response to an Ed Theatre Holiday Event..
Look, even if I wanted to go, my schedule wouldn’t allow it.. 4:00- Wallow in self-pity 4:30- Stare into the abyss 5:00- Solve world hunger.. tell no one. 5:30- Jazzercise 6:00- Dinner with me.. I can’t cancel that again! 7:00- Wrestle with my self loathing. I’m booked! Of course if I bump the loathing to 9:00, I’ll probably still have time to lay in my bed, stare at the...
Acting Fundamentals, you will be missed.
Congrats to everyone in Stop Kiss today! Just one more class left of the semester. Wow, that went by fast.
I thought I was going to have to read this whole...
But after reading the first 25 pages I have my essay idea. Take that! I will be in bed a lot sooner than I thought. Yippie!!
Slev just asked me what year Xanadu closed...
This is going to be a long night for the both of us.
RIP George Aldrich
I am in shock. Both of my sister’s knew him and although I did not know him directly, I feel attached to him just because of the La Salle community. Prayers for the whole La Sallian community and especially for his family. God, things like this really puts the stress of papers and exams into perspective for me. Rest in peace.
Here we go.
Red bull- check. Laptop- check. Disconnected wifi- check. High lighters, pencils, notebooks, and selected author- check. Spot in Bobst library overlooking the snowy city- check. Motivation to be out at a decent hour- check. Bring it bitches.

lianecdote:
In Ten Years what happened today won’t exsist.
In Ten months what’s wrong today will seem like a blip on a radar screen.
In Ten Weeks today’s worries will seem so blasphemous you will laugh.
In Ten Days all stress, preoccupations and impossibilities will be over.
In Ten Hours most of what is weighing you down will have passed.
In Ten minutes, you’ll be ten minutes closer to the...
Just add that to the list of SHIT I need to do...
I am overwhelmed by the amount of work that I have to do for classes this week. It makes me want to punch a small child in the face, take his lollipop, and then make a stew with his puppy. I’m sensing two all nighters in a row. Will my body ever recover? Stay tuned to find out.
There is a pumpkin pie in my freezer.
A full-on pumpkin pie. Not a slice. No. A pie. Neither Mike nor I purchase it, brought it back, or put it in there. Wait.. WHAT?
I witnessed something beautiful.
On my way home from work, I sat down next to a man, on the subway, who was clearly homeless. His coat was completely torn, he didn’t have gloves, his pants were falling apart and he was rather skinny. He smelled, really badly. Worst than any other homeless man I have seen so far. He reeked of urine and vomit. He was nodding off, slowly falling asleep. A man, across from us, walks over to...
On my way out of the city..
And back into RI for a night of comedy to see The Man Who Came to Dinner with the La Salle Players.. This is one of my favorites guys, so break a leg everyone!!! CanNOT wait to see you all!.. SURPRISE!
Its 12pm
And I already have a headache from not having caffeine this morning. Gah, detoxing very, very shortly.
I currently have 4 pages
Dear Matt,
This essay is not finished and does not even have an introduction. I’m sorry, but you can’t give me less than 48 hours to write a rough draft for a 6-8 page paper. I’m taking 9 classes and everyone else is also demanding lots of work this week as well, only these all count as my final grade. This is all your getting. I’m very sorry, but it will be much, much...
Screw it.
He wants a rough draft? I’ll give him a ROUGH draft.
I got so much shiz done today.
Go me. These final weeks may be a pain in the ass, but its amazing how much you can get done if your just disable your wifi.. DO IT. Its liberating to just do work. Whose ready for me to teach you about Hydraulic systems for the theatre? YOU BETTER BE.
Why can't I ever get up?
I said I was going to get up early so that I will write my writing the Essay homework. Well, false on all ends. I just got up and I have class in 25 minutes. So I guess I will be making some excuse and doing it later today. Roar. Why sleep, why?!
MSNBC called it a hipster apocalypse.
Thanks Liane for sharing this article with me.

Wow. What a day.
Its a Saturday night and I’ve called it a day at 10:15. I know I’m in college and all, but there is a point where you just got to let your body CHILL.
This morning I got up at 4 to go to work at 6am. I thought I was going to hate working midtown, near time square, but surprisingly, I really enjoy it. The new store is BEAUTIFUL. First of all, they bought all this nice antique furnisher...
Feeling 1000 times better.
Woke up this morning, got the India visa for my boss (thank God!), went to class and handed in my homework, found out that I DONT have to memorize Henry the IV for today (that was quite the relief), finished my interview theatre piece and now I just have to get through the project that is due tomorrow and I’ll be all set. It will most likely be an all nighter tonight, but I’m okay with...
Long day, longer one tomorrow, longer week ahead.
I’m a little stressed, to say the least BUT I had lunch with my grandparents today (oh, how I love them!) AND I saw Brief Encounters at Studio 54, which was great. It was beautiful and concise, the combination between reality and folk tale. Everyone really, really needs to go see it before it closes, I do not think it will be open long. Also, John Coletta and Shelby Clarke made my day much...
