This is the most ACTIVE year on the Great White Way for me. I live in Allentown , PA so NYC isn't too far, but still is a drive none the less.
May 18th. Pamela's First Musical, From Donna Murphy to David Garrison, From Carolee Carmello to Tommy Tune, And from Kathy Lee Gifford to the VERY TALENTED Lila Coogan. This small yet HUMONGOUS Broadway Cares Event, blew me away. Since it was an one time event (will be showed again late 200
it was not rehearsed as much as a regular show. It was not Perfect yet it was. But in a emotional way. During the time I had deep depression haunting me. And this little show brought light back into my life.
"I'm a stranger on the wrong floor, with the right key, at the wrong door, I wont go to pieces and I'll never quit. I want to go where all of the pieces fit." -Lila Coogan ,Pamela's 1st M.

June 15th, Attended 62nd Annual Tony Awards. I have seen the ceremony it on tv, on the internet, youtube, ect... Never in my mind could I fathom being there in person. Whoopi was a hoot, Patti Lupone AMAZING, Xanadu giddy and fun, Rent Reunion "PRICELESS" , Lion King....HEART SHATTERING
July 16th Was at the Mamma Movie Premiere. Not only did i meet Bjorn from ABBA (Fav. BAND OF ALL TIME) and Meryl Streep. I got a nice section of the blue carpet from the ceremony. and for kicks I was on 'The Today Show' when they showed photos of the event and i was next to Meryl Streep.
Within 2 weeks, I'll be seeing Boeing Boeing,
Oct. 1st Got a ticket for the 1st Broadway showing of Billy Elliott. FLABBERGASTED
I am sure many have done much more than me in one year. But meeting your all time favorite band members, Meeting 2 Time Oscar Meryl Streep, meeting My favorite Broadway diva Carolee Carmello, David Garrison (I LOVE MARRIED WITH CHILDREN), and finally seeing the Original Cast of Rent together again on stage. I thank God so much for these moments I'll treasure through the rest of my life and after.
I achieved so many (i thought impossible goals) goals in so little time. I now see that Life isn't all fun and games but MOST OF ALL...Life is not as bad as it seems. And I am only 19.
Anyways I want to tell everyone more importantly. Sure these events don't come every day or every year. And I am sure everyone has many different goals. YOU can achieve them. For me it cost some money. But what I paid to endure the experience wasn't even a fraction of what is was worth (TO ME).
BUT not all goals require money. My nephews are free Goals every time I see them. Seeing children smile and laugh is Pulitzer Prize in itself to me. Happiness isn't all the time. But when you find true Happiness......you will feel...(well thats for you to find out on your own)
