..All mimsy were the borogoves...

I love drama. Musical Theater. Acting. Singing. Dancing

I was watching America's Best Dance Crew. On the very first season of ABDC there was a dance crew of men who always wore masks and they won the ENTIRE show. . . They were called the Jabbawokeez. .

When I first heard this.. it didn't register... Jabbawokeez. They are creative.. Cute name..NO. What was I thinking.. Anyone who loves theatre and acting should know that word no matter how it is spelled or pronounced... Jabbuhwahkeys, Jabarwokays, ect. (Google It)

The Jabbawokeez come to the floor, kill all the other competition [with their dance moves] and leave... Just like a real Jabberwoky. (:

Drama is Love.

Gwen Stefani on the roof??

My Drama class is venturing into the history of musical theatre..We know about Oklahoma!, and Sound of Music. Now we are watching The Fiddler on the Roof.

Now, mind you I have never seen this movie however, I was still extremley excited to see it.

I am enjoying the crazy dancing and catchy songs. My friend Jennifer says " Hey this is the best part. Watch his dance." So my eyes are GLUED to the projector screen and I am ready for something gut busting. I hear the song begin to start. " If I were a rich man. Dada dada da da dada dada da da dadada..." What?! And I hear it again.. " If I were a rich man. Dada dada da da dada dada da da dadada..." NO!

I am trippin. My head begins to play its own song. "If I were a rich girl. Nana nana nana na na nana nana nanana... Where had I heard this song before... "See I'd have all the money in the world..If I were a...." *Gasp* Gwen Stefani.

Gwen Stefani *bit that song. I can never look at her the same again..

Chynna in the 20's

(I realize I made mistakes.. they are intended) heh heh

Hi. I'm Chynna an' I live in Arkansas.[1920's]

I'm 16 an' I go ta Dunbar High School e'ryday I ken get thur.

One day I hope God'll bless me with enuff smarts ta go ta Philander Smith College.

I live in a ALL black neighborhood an' my family is the poorest. I neva get made fun of for havin' less cuz ain't none of us got much of anythin'. So I'm happy wit our money situation.

The KKK don't like my street much. Sometimes I find myself awake at night starin' at a burnin' cross thru my window. I get scared they'll steal Pa away an' Lynch 'em like they did MaryEllen's dad. She cried fo' three days straight. Sho' nuff, I would too. . .

I wanna grow up an' be jus like Josephine Baker.... 'cept wit more clothes on. Ma' always says why buy the cow when yew ken get the milk fo' free. Alls I'm sayin is I wont people ta know my name in otha countries too!

And jus think.. Duke Ellington went ta Dunbar like me an' look wur he is now. . . .[End]

NO! I do not think I would enjoy living in the 1920's for the simple fact that I am a BLACK WOMAN. That is two strikes against me. True, life for black people had improved a little but not enough to want to experience it. I do not want to attend an all black school, be in fear of the Ku Klux Klan and not have any white friends.. I love diversity.

I have been spoiled by the 21 century and would DIE if I had to give it up.
