Ain't Braggin' If...
#1
It's true. Me, Michelle and Megan are in Greensboro, NC. My daughter's HS drama outfit "Watauga Playmakers", jest won the State whatever champions? But, anyway they won their state regional last week, next up is SE USA in Louisville, Kentucky. We are right proud of these dorky young'uns. I shouldn't call them dorky...weird then, yeah buddy they sure ain't the Football team, I tell you what. "Ernest and the Pale Moon" is the theater nerds play. The first time I saw it; I couldn't hardly hear the dialogue much at all but, I got the story through the acting, kinda like watching a silent movie. Then, I read the script... Verily, Verily I say unto thee, it was uh...not all dat. I must say...these kids really sell it.         There used to be the "Blowing Rock Stage Company" in BR that ran a summer schedule of like, four or five different plays in the Blowing Rock School auditorium and they were good AND cheap. They were run by a board of functionaries who decided to borrow $$$ a build a real theater, they went bankrupt after one season and Samaritan's Purse bought the building and now it's a "S'martin's Purrse training center". I did see Guy Penrod before they went belly up.
 Michelle and I used to go to BRSC every year befo' we had "chillins" "chidren" it'saaallgood. According to the race hustlers "THAT'$ RACIST! " no it ain't. Back in the day, Real Black Folk didn't care if you were just messin around, at least de cullid people I knowed didn't. They will talk cracker back at me and we all just laugh. People have gotten waaaaay too sensitive, I mean like, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too SENS-SIT-TIVE. Grow a hide already! Get over yourself! You are far too young to be so angry! SJW's ain't worth my time, I got better things to do. 
   Boy boy has the house to himself and I am certain that he enjoying it. I'm lucky to have good kids because I was a hellion when I was 17 & 18, drinking in bars and doing stuff with females that ain't seemly. They are gems by comparison even if "Child:Unit-Female" had us trek all the way down here to spend the night and take her back to Greensboro College (that's where their play acting is at) at 8:00 am for something or other and then haul her home. Mama is upset with her daughter because she told her that she was riding home with her friend and that she could have spent the night with her friend and could she go spend the night with her friend in her friend's room after insisting that Mama came down and get a hotel room. I couldn't follow the reasoning myself because it's been a while since "Miss Pippy" has slept in the middle and that makes me happy enough but, gosh...this young'un is sawing some serious logs. Time for me too. zzzzzzzzzzz...

There is no way normal people would ever be interested in acting in plays. People who gather to organize such acting are invariably outside the norm. Thus, every thespian group ever has been weird at the very least. I never did any acting growing up, but I did hang out with those folks and learned about stage presence from being on the margins. It was therapeutic in my case. It takes serious moxie and I would be proud of Megan, too.

Oh yeah!  Ain't it grand when our kids create themselves before our very eyes!??  You ARE blessed to have two youngin's that turned out so well.  My oldest is amazing and I am very happy with the woman she has become.  My youngest, well, I haven't seen or talked to her for over a year.  All I know is, she is somewhere in NC and has an arrest warrant out for her.  SIGH.  I am okay, though.  I gave her to the Lord last year and am leaving it to Him to do as He will.

Fun! I like witnessing good acting. The trouble is, I can only spot bad acting. Mediocre or great acting I can't really differentiate. Going by the law of averages, most actors you see are average, especially on TV and cinema. Their primary purpose is to look good; optics are nearly everything. Editing, post, coaching, multiple takes can make any schmoe passable. All this to say, real time acting, like theater is nearly impossible to fake, so your little one's skills are impressive if it took her that far.
