"It is very creative, imaginative at the same time a powerful statement. The dark enhanced the whole concept and the use of flashlights was inspired. The dark evoked the ignorance which still dominates, the closeted soldiers who had to stay in the dark, and the terror of war which comes from the darkest depths of humanity. Very well done. We used to say 'Don't let the message dominate the art' and I think you succeeded in getting the art across. Well done." -said by a very well respected artist.

Haven't reflected on much in awhile. So, I thought I just might... Recently, as in 2 days ago I had a performance. It was a one night only type of thing. Typically I perform in shows that have at least 3 performances, but every once in awhile I dont. This performance was a part of CSUEB (my school's) Queer Dance Festival. It is the second year that I have been a part of it, and I hope to continue on with it in the future. Almost every piece was in some way about lesbian, gay, gender identity and/or personal identity. This show usually has a unique and talented group of choreographers and performers be a part of the show.

When my mom told me you can’t be a princess when you grow up, because it’s not a job, I apparently replied, “Well, if I can’t be a princess a ballerina will do. They are just as beautiful.” It was then that she decided to enroll me into Contra Costa Ballet Center, and my dancing career began. You know, I didn’t like ballet very much at first. We constantly had to listen to this boring music with no one singing, keep straight faces, suck in our belly’s, and were not allowed to socialize. All of those things were hard for me, and well for many other little girls, because we were all LITTLE. We wanted to have fun and skip and laugh. Sometimes, if we were good, we were allowed to skip, but mostly ballet and fun did

Just close your eyes The time has come the clock has stopped and the road is done The path we traveled it was rough somehow we never got enough the emotions in it, kept us with it but my heart and head say stop here we are at the edge of this cliff the voice i hear is in the distant abyss and i wish that i could tell you how when and why but my lips are glued closed and im pissed at the edge that we r standing i can see us maybe fall at the edge that we r standing i can see one step back wont be all cause it takes and takes and takes more than just that to save you and me and break this bad habitat here we are at the edge of this cliff the voice i hear is in the distant abyss and i wish that i could tell you how when and why but my lips are glued closed and I'm pissed Look around you, we are here and I didn't even force you no whispers in ears and no needing to coerce you side by side we may stand but we're on uneven grounds in case you nee
