The unexpected

    Sorry I haven't blog but it's amazing how things happen and it happened so quickly I've been caught in a whirlwind. So let me step out to the calmer side of me for a minute.  I have been here since Wednesday as you know. On Saturday my brother called me to tell me I had an audition on Sunday 10:30am. I was excited but nervous at the same time. I didn't expect to have a audition this fast and I didn't have a dramatic monologue prepared. So that night I drank lots of tea and memorized a monologue from a Raisin In the Sun. Sunday I got up early got ready, practiced and prayed some more. So let me paint the picture as Sophia Patrillio would (the Golden Girls) lol my favorite show.
   
     Picture it,Harlem,2010. I arrived early from the subway station on the cool morning. The smell of fresh bacon was in the air as I struggled not to look like a tourist. My brother informed me that the man I was auditioning for had a meeting before me and to call him when I arrived for directions. I looked for the first familiar place where I could sit and get my thoughts together. I saw a Subway restaurant and sat inside for awhile. Across from my table were three people discussing a script. Of course I began to wonder could this be the man that I was auditioning for. No,No, that's too much of a coincidence. But I couldn't help but to have a feeling that might be him. I texted my brother to ask what the man looked like. One of the men got up from the table abruptly and went outside to make a phone call. Turns out he was calling me. I began to laugh when I realized my gut instinct was right, he came back inside and asked me to wait a few minutes. Now in my mind I thought we were going to walk to the theater or his office for the audition. I was wrong! I had to improve,key word,improve my monologue and sing infront of everyone in Subway. Long story short he offered me the part on the spot! I was so excited I almost cried but being the "G" that I am, I kept it contained ::runs around the building to scream and jump around:: Like I said before with" man this is possible but with GOD all things are possible." It was only favor that this happened as quickly as it did.
