I Love Carrie



I just finished the three to five minute musical for my theatre class. How thrilling and fulfilling to complete a work, no matter how small or for what purpose. Ah, creation.

It is entitled "Tick-Talk" (An Adult Pop-Up Musical). I enjoyed writing it and look forward to the next few weeks of pairing the lyric concept with music and learning and performing it.

I have been listening to Carrie Underwood like a mad fiend these past few days. She is a musical force of nature that one. And she is exquisite. One lyric of the song "The More Boys I Meet" has enchanted me and made me smile.

And I close my eyes
And I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet the more I love my dog

True indeed. I think I am going to try and work it in a medley in my forthcoming cabaret in March.

I am mushy-brained due to two tests this week, four papers to write, a show to see, a film to watch, a performance to do, etc. Time to hunker down.

I love creating.
I love personification.
I love that I am doing better in school.
I love Carrie. :-)

I will close with a lyric from my musical scene that I find applicable and The Man and Alarm Clock come to this place at the end of their story:

How often we don't see past our nose
A world of poetry we see in prose
Together we will write a new verse and rhyme
To usher in a sunny dawn
Together, keeping perfect time

We took you to the fair at least once, possibly more, but the one time I recall is when you and I rode some type of worm thing that wove in and out and up and down so much I nearly fainted. I held on from sheer perseverance and kept whatever it was that I had been eating down because I was afraid something would happen to you. LOL. Now it's a grand memory. There is something magical about the neon lights, rides, and food of the State Fair. Love you, Your Number 1 Fan, Mom

Loving the Squiggly

I was typing the other day and instead of hitting the ! key I hit the ~ key. Two odd altercations happened between two friends and me via facebook so I have deactivated my account for a bit. It was hurtful and unexpected. So when I hit the ~ key it made me smile and forget all that nonsense. ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dustin

And With This, Farewell

This blog has been a dear friend to me. I am not good at farewells, but truly this is anything but. I look at it like this - I love the phoenix, the symbolism of it all, the power of rebirth. Hence why I named my blog/musing screen after one. :-) So, I am leaving this particular blog to start another one, one that fits me NOW, the one that I can share in a new way. So this feels right. Thanks to those who have read my musings throughout the years. I hope you follow me to my new musing home entitled THE TWELVE THAT IS DUSTIN BAYLAN. Yes, I am changing the name, the story of that is on the new blog for you to read. Here is the link: http://dustinbaylan.wordpress.com/ Much love, much hope and joy again, much potential... Winks and smiles of the Cat that is Cheshire, Dustin Baylan

Holding the Key

Only I am solid ground. Those whom I love - the new, the familiar - can be my circle, my connections... but the connection to self is the key I have been missing. Peace fills me as I hold the key and begin to unlock the doors of my life. Only I am solid ground and I embrace the beauty of me. Dustin
