Today is your day:)

Hello everyone,

Well, i just experienced my first ever TONY AWARDS. Kinda hard to believe, when this is the career I am in. But you have to start somewhere.
I just love award shows. They seriously make my heart jump up and down! Some of the speeches were amazing. Book of Mormon did amazing, and they deserved it. I can't wait to see it! I mean, at the end of the day any of the nominations could win. It's all so subjective at that point. Obviously there are times when it's clear who should win. But most times once the nominations are posted, who cares who wins. I would love to win a TONY, and don't think I'm not shooting for one, because I certainly am. I want a TONY, GRAMMY, JUNO, EMMY, PEOPLES CHOICE, OSCAR and GOLDEN GLOBE. It's not really about winning, but I'm a competitive guy, always have been (thanks mom and dad). I think it's part of what makes me work my ass off. Awards are not the be all end all of life, but it is something to push harder than you might normally push yourself for. All of those awards equal an olympic medal in show business world. And I've wanted an olympic medal since I was able to watch the olympics and understand what they were.

Man, this weekend has been such a rejuvenation for me. I feel ready to take it all on. I've been so inspired by so many things. The last of the 3 musicals in one week was "Catch Me if you Can." This freakin blew the top off the cake. Shaiman and Wittman, who wrote the music for Hairspray, teamed up again for this project, and it was completely magical. The music is genius, pushing all the right buttons. The dancing, the men and women. The airline hostesses, are glamazons from mount olympus. Aaron Tveit, and Norbert Leo Butz killed every second they spent on stage. I basically melted in my seat every time Aaron opened his mouth as Frank Abagnale Jr. As a male, I am very critical of a male voice. It's much easier for me to enjoy the sound of a woman. I don't know why this is, but it's just how I've always been. But Aaron, ahhhhhh, now that is music to my ears. He has played a lot of roles that I want to play, including this one in Catch me if you Can. I also love how brilliant the story is. There was singing when I wanted singing, there was action when I wanted action, there was sentiment when I wanted to feel something. It was all there. Again, I was transported into another world. My eyes couldn't believe the overstimulation. It's a crazy story, with some wonderful themes. Behind all the stealing, is the story of a boy who is trying to figure out what is really important to him. It's also about shooting for exactly what you want, and that can change over time. This, combined with the TONY's, Mary Poppins, A Normal Heart, and a wonderful day alone yesterday equals something Shania knew how to articulate brilliantly. "Today is my Day." I feel a new sense of ownership over the body I live in. I can't wait to see what the week brings! Alright, it's time to get some sleep! Also important. This week is about owning the body that I was given and loving every inch of it....and.....GO:)
