Beautiful music, a beutiful woman, and a beautiful evening
Hello dearest friends,
As I said, music and a date make for a beautiful evening, well except for the city of Detroit. Ha ha
I just got back from the opera, I saw the ever-famous La Boheme. It's fame is rightly noted, I absolutely loved the aria where they guy has to give up his coat for money, it was the most emotional part of the whole opera in my opinion. As my date aptley put it, "that guy needs to get laid!" Ah yes, true, but it still struck my heart. More on it in a sec.
I managed to solve my usual dating fiasco with some relative sucess this time. Good thing too cause tickets are not cheap. I attened the event with the elegant and beautiful, yet sardonic Ashley K. so she provided much amusment, mystery and delightful perversion to the already fun evening. She demands so much gosh darn wit though I didn't have time to check out the spoiled, rich wives, ha ha, cause I really had to think when I talked. I am quite glad I could go with her, she reminds me of good old Kyle Cucci, my friend back home whom I spend most of my time with, except she is a woman, e.g. "a vagina and mammory glands." My first date, the elusive and free-spirited Mary W. had some confusion, partly due to my fear of conversation with her, and had to cancel. All the well, we, or should I say, have trouble talking sometimes so Ash was more fun, and I know she likes classical better too, and she isn't a overly-whinny hippy either. Mary can be that way at times, but at heart I am too. I just enjoy friends who I can rant about my Nazi-like, ultimate-destructo, philosophies with. So all in all, things went rather well as that combo usually does.
Anyway! On to the Opera, wow, I wasted my typing energy on talking about dates, darn. Oh well, I will type cause I love opera. As I expect from the Michigan Opera Theatre, they delivered the usual world-class performaces we have all grown to know and love. He he. The whole look of the play was very realistic and not overblown as operas can be sometimes. They looked like they were straight out of the gutters of 1830's Paris. The sets were sweet, they provided ample eye-candy and a dizzying illusion of depth that always trips me out. (It's nuts! It it so wierd how they confuse your eyes!) The music, although romantic (pooey), provided much color but not enough tonal resolution, but that is good in romantic music so I guess that is a good thing right? Ha ha. Anyway, the orchestra could have been louder at times and Mimi could have used less vibrato but it was nothing I can complain about, just my taste. The jokes in the play were absolutely splitting and were stanged even better than in the libretto, I think. The four main guys were so darn funny and so like a real bunch of friends you felt like you knew them. They did what you would have done if you were with your friends. The one thing I didn't like is that, I thought the relationship between Mimi and Rudolfo could have been more strong. As the plot reveals only key points in their relationship you have to infrer a lot of it, I think they should have taken that into account more often in the acting. But again, nothing really I can complain about. All in all, it was a great, great opera, and all four acts flew by super darn fast. It felt like 15 minutes long to me as opposed to 3 hours. I look forward to my next time there, whenever that may be.
Ok, on to the I hate life section.
Wow, I really need to settle the realtionships in my life. I need some friends I can latch onto here I think; I need someone I can complain to. (BTW, I am taking applications, lol) Also, I think I need to hurt myself with afew relationships too so I can shift my focus off of fitting in and getting used to stuff. It has been awhile since I have broken my heart, like a good few months at least; I miss the feeling, so I need to get on the ball with that. That should be easy enough, though. It will make me feel at home more. But I still need to find some home-dogs though. So far the girls here are cool, but slow, so I need to just slow things down. I know I will make some friends pretty soon. I think I should not ruch a girlfriend either, I will try the slow approach for once, the other one doesn't work quite well, belive me, lol. This school really sucks though, it is boring and there is no music here. Everybody here is to dry and mean. I will have to search to find people I can have a good time with and who want to do it with me as well. I have had so much fun tonight I can't complain much though so I will have to say more later. IF YOU ARE READING THIS, CONTACT ME AND TALK TO ME (If you are a girl, that is). Thanks.
Later my unaltruisitc counterparts
P.S. Don't be affraid to be emotional!
