haley spitz

I am a Broadway Fanatic.  More specifically, a Broadway Musical Fanatic.  I’ve have seen tons of them, you name it, Rent, Hairspray, Wicked, Legally Blond, In The Heights, Next To Normal, Les Mis, Avenue Q, Book of Mormon, Spring Awakening, Priscilla Queen of the Dessert, Billy Elliot, oh and the list goes on.  I love them.  Sitting in the old theater, being entertained by the best of the best, is an experience unlike any others. And it is even more special when you see one that is truly spectacular.  One that makes you tap your feet and sing along during the performance.  One that keeps you singing and smiling from the second the curtain drops and you walk back out in the mayhem that is Times Square at 11:00 pm.  And one that keeps you on high for days after you see it.  I had one of those experiences this past weekend, when I saw Pippin, The Musical. The show is a remake from over 40 years ago. It is a story of a young boy(prince) looking to find meaning in his life.  On this path to becoming extraordinary, he learns that there is more to life than just the extraordinary, and that the simple life can be just as fulfilling.  It is an interesting and somewhat cliche story, but it was none the less inspiring.   It had everything you hope to see in a broadway show, including incredible voices, outrageous dancing, brilliant costumes, acrobats, fire pits, love, lust, a joke about gays, and even a PUPPY! I would gladly see this show again, and again, and even again!

these days when people joke about lifestyles of the rich and famous, they are explicitly referring to him.

newsweek:

An Old People’s Guide to Jay-Z:

According to Forbes, Jay earned $38 million last year, and at the top of 2012 was worth a reported $460 million. These days when people joke about lifestyles of the rich and famous, they are explicitly referring to him. His worth and notoriety, of course, exponentially increase when one considers that he is married to one of the only working music stars who is more famous than he: Beyoncé. Together, they are unfairly beautiful, unfairly rich, and unfairly famous, but so goshdarned flawless that most people only harbor faint pangs of jealousy.

In January, the couple welcomed their first child, Blue Ivy. Mass hysteria ensued. It was as if the messiah had returned; in fact, multiple news outlets referred to the child as the messiah, and, really, only half-jokingly. A Twitter record (please, you must have heard about the Twitter by now) for most tweets-per-second was set when the birth was announced, breaking the previous record set when the pregnancy was announced. This baby was a Big Deal. The frenzy surrounding the royal pregnancy is pathetic by comparison. Blue Ivy is our princess. Your princess.

Also, Beyoncé and Jay are BFFs—that stands for Best Friends Forever—with the Obamas. When the couple was expecting Blue Ivy, the president gave him advice on how to be a good dad. The internet went wild when that happened. It was everywhere. Obama even cracked once that he was just like Jay-Z: “We both have daughters and our wives are more popular than we are.” Shortcut guide to Jay-Z: he and Barack Obama are the same.

Oh yeah, he makes music, too. A lot of music. Sure, it’s the kind of music a lot of you call “noise” and “trash” and think is reserved for “whippersnappers” and “hooligans,” but using that as an excuse not to recognize one of the century’s most influential artists—yep, I said it!—is kind of as tragic as a teen these days not recognizing a photo of Elvis Presley, or knowing who Mozart is. Since recording his first record in 1995, the Brooklyn native has released 16 albums, sold 50 million copies, and won 14 Grammy awards. He’s kind of a big deal.

Might as well go ahead and email this to your parents right now.

you dont just walk up to someone who has obviously struggled with her weight most of her life, and works out like a maniac, and tell her that you dont work out, and that you are just naturally thin!
