Light Rail Travels/Writings

Took the bus from Boulder to Denver last night after a day in Longmont. I was sitting by myself on this party bus. Everyone was heading to Denver to hit up all the clubs this fine Friday night. Fifteen minutes into the ride after falling asleep, someone asked to sit next to me to get away from the craziness that was happening in the back of the bus. We talked the whole time about life. Life including: school, music, Colorado, futures and food. I even received a free piece of trident gum. He did a semester at a Catholic school in San Diego, then transferred up to the School of Mines majoring in Environmental Engineering. He is going to move to Chile when he is done with school just to 'live'. He was on a way to a concert at the Bluebird theatre. I gave him directions of what bust to take and then we parted ways. I could have asked him for his name, but it just seemed appropriate to have conversations with this stranger and leave it at that.

I like public transportation.

I was out an about today and ran into this guy that I have only met once. It was great conversation with those five glasses of water. Mmm... Refreshing after walking everywhere. Turns out that this person is the dean of admissions at the National Theatre Conservatory in Denver. This is a three year MA program that only accepts ten actors a year. Tuition fully paid for. We talked about theatre for those five glasses of water. He just said that people just need to get their foot in the door in order to get started into this field. So, I asked him where is this door located? He offered me a scholarship for some classes at NTC sometime in the future, maybe this summer or maybe even next year. Just depending when I want to.

I found my door.

Now I am on the light rail heading to Park Meadows Mall. I need to get a few things before I start my job on Monday. Time to be professional. I am even starting a workout schedule.

Amazing opportunities before me.

Side note:

The weather is amazing today, especially while listening to the musical 'The Last Five Years'. Most creative musical. Ever. It reminds me of the movie 'Momento'. Starts an opening song with Cathy at the end of a relationship with Jamie and it moves backwards through the show until she meets him for first time. Jamie starts from the beginning of his and Cathy's relationship and progresses towards the end. The only time they sing together is at their wedding singing their 'I do's'. Throughout this show you can interpret who's fault was the down fall of their relationship. Written in 2002 by Jason Robert Brown. Just a two person cast.
