Artistic Motivation...

Since yesterday a lot has happened, as usual in my life... It never ceases to amaze me how much I can fit into 24 hours. So I will go over the three major highlights...
-First, last night after the gym I was walking with Robbie and Courtney around chelsea looking for Quiznos (which I love!) and we ran into a small furniture shop that Robbie was going to buy a couch from. As I was browsing I saw a large upright piano in really good condition. It seemed as if it had been there for a while and the owner didn't quite know what to do with it. I believe it had papers and random books stacked upon the top of it. Anyways I joked with the owner and asked him how much he would sell it to me for, and he surprisingly responded with a mere $500!!!! After I picked myself up from the ground from fainting at the idea that I was about to fulfill a dream I have always had (to own a vintage piano), i went over and tinkered with it a bit. It was a bit out of tune, but nothing that I can't get repaired. Anyways I didn't happen to have the $500 to put down then but I told him to hold onto it and that I would be back. I am going to make it a birthday gift to myself along with whoever wants to chip in lol. Once I get it I am thinking about stripping the wood and staining it blue, or maybe like a vintage yellow. So excited!!!

Second- I went home early last night to catch up on the sleep and succeeded... halfway lol. I decided at 10 to lie down and watch a movie, which normally puts me to sleep in a matter of minutes lol. I put on the movie Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley (or however you spell it). It was amazing! I saw it in the theater and thought it was great then, but the second time was just as good! I couldn't take my eyes off! So needless to say I was up until 12:30 watching it, and i have to put up with another exausting day of trying to stay awake at my desk.

And Third- I decided that I really need to get out of the bank that I work in soon. I mean it's great and all that I work on wall st., and I suppose that is advantageous for my resume, but I am a singer! So I looked up the Backstage website for auditions and what have you... I found thid really neat audition for a Harlem Gospel Choir that is soon to be touring europe for a couple of months! I am going to audition on Tuesday, and I convinced my roomate Andre to audition with me! I really think I have a good chance of making it, so wish m good luck.... oh! and the pay starts at $600 a week and goes up to $1200! even better!
On a side note... Tonight I am going to paint at Robbie and Quintons new place in the East village, with Ivan... I will tell you about it later... and I will try to add some pics over the weekend to add a little more life to my page:)

Later...
