Unexpected Turn-Around

Mar 29, 2008 11:18

Okay yesterday I was all too pissed about the so-called rescheduling of the radio interview--But then as I the day had progressed, 45minutes before the time we were originally supposed to meet I get a text saying "the show is on!" I had less then an hour to get from Stone Mountain, GA to Downtown ATL. AND I HAD TO CATCH THE TRAIN. I was excited and overwhelmed at the same time as I was conveinently already at the train station when I had got the text message from West, the play director.

I didnt' think I would make it by 6pm, which was the time we were all to meet up at the radio station in Midtown. Someway, somehow I had made it down town in seeming a half hour as I arrived at the Colony Square Building at 5:58pm. I was the first one there. I was shocked, I was scared. When I got there the radio DJ buzzed me in and said "you're on in THREE minutes." MY HEART DROPPED INTO MY ASS!!!! I wasn't expecting that, I was terrorfied as I practically pleaded in a sublte way asking him to wait for the director to arrive. I sent West a Text saying "WHERE ARE YOU?" There was no way that I could do this promo by myself.

Long story, short, Jonathan, my arch enemy arrived with the director and his wife. EVERYONE WAS NERVOUS--I had never seen Jonathan so quiet since I have been working with him. In fact his nervousness boosted my confindence. And I was ready but nothing could have prepared me for how they would  put us on the spot asking us to do a skit from the play.  Again, MY HEART DROPPED INTO MY ASS AND NEARLY CAME OUT!  But we did it--our nervousness caused us to spit lines from different scenes but in some CRAZY way in came together and made perfect sense. They said we did REALLY well. I could only wonder what the listeners had heard on the other side. It was a sweet turn-around from the disappointment I was certain would further stain my heart earlier. YEEEESSSS!!! I want more of this I really do...it was the sweetest taste of what the future hold for hotboi23 but again I CAN'T STOP, WON'T STOP!!!

hopes, dreams, life, disappointment, fear
