Upcoming Show [Update]
Okay, giving a little more info about the show I've been cast in. Damion Torres-Botello and Jeremy Lillig (both friends of my sister) have started a theater company called Full Circle Theater Company. They recently finished the show Latins Anonymous (don't know if anyone else saw it besides JoLee and I) which was really funny. Two weekends ago they had auditions for this show, Our David. My sister and I had talked and agreed that I should audition for these guys - so I did. And I got the part later that same day. So anyway. The show is called Our David, and it plays on Friday, August 19 and Saturday, August 20 at 7:30 PM in the McKeon at Avila. Everyone is welcome to come. I'm not sure what the cost is - might be $5. I think that's what it was for Latins Anonymous, anyway. When I have more info, I'll let you know! | | Tuesday, July 26th, 2005 | | 8:47 am |
Fuckin' Christ, man... I had the creepiest dream I've ever had last night. I'll try to transcribe what I can here... can't remember the whole thing. It started with some kind of image... can't remember what... with music in the background that sounded to me like it originated in the Middle East, or somewhere around Iraq and that area. I think there were a few other images, then it changed to a woman at a piano. She looked vaguely American, and a little bit like a celebrity singer... not sure who, but Sarah McLaughlin has been stuck in my mind since the dream. The music shifted to something very American, likely by the singer, and then the picture started zooming in towards her face. Her eyes started to turn a milky white color, meaning that her pupils were disappearing and her eyes were stark white... and then there was a sudden flash, the brightest flash I had ever seen in my life... bright enough to force my eyes shut so I wouldn't go blind. At that point, I woke up. It was about 5AM this morning that I awoke - an hour and a half before I was supposed to wake up. I lay there and try falling asleep again, but every time I closed my eyes I saw that woman's face. The music on my computer was low, but I could hear a woman singing - I wondered if that song had something to do with it. Possible, but maybe not - I remember reading or hearing somewhere that you only dream for a few minutes, maybe as long as an hour. No idea what song it was... had my music on shuffle and I just skipped a few songs ahead. It just left me with a really creepy feeling, like my mind had been messed with or something - I didn't feel safe in my own house. And I always feel safe. | | 8:47 am |
Had our first rehearsal last night, did a read-thru. The show is pretty funny. It's called Our David, by Ian Mairs. I play the character Clyde. Following is the short synopsis on the back of the script: "Velma and Clyde are uneasy neighbors. Velma, a widowed grandmother, has tended her vegetables in this humid North Florida community for most of her life. Clyde, a gay man out of place here, has recently moved in from New York City after losing his lover and most of his friends to AIDS. The two widows express their growing distrust of one another in a series of alternating monologues, at times tragic and hilarious, until a tacky statue of Michelangelo's David unpredictably brings them together." I'll post sometime tomorrow the actual date and time of the performance, but I think its going to be great, and its a first time part for me. | | Friday, July 22nd, 2005 | | 9:09 am |

POTTER VS THE BUZZ!!!!
Okay, this is starting to get abso-fucking-lutely re-fucking-diculous. Has anybody besides me been listening to the Buzz lately? Check this shit out. http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=potter_vs_buzzThis guy has made it his mission in life to speak out and protest the Buzz because Suzie McDumbbitch gave away the ending to the Harry Potter book after it had been out for 2 days already. And here's a comment (a rather dumbass one, mind you) that was posted recently on his site. "First of all, that's just flat-out a mean thing to do. Nobody likes something being spoiled for them. No one messed with the Star Wars geeks when Episode III came out, and I don't see how this is any different. Hopefully most people have had the feeling of waiting for a book or a movie they cared about, and it's a real downer when something like that is spoiled." Okay, read this line again. "No one messed with the Star Wars geeks when Episode III came out, and I don't see how this is any different." So you're telling me this person didn't know how Episode III was going to end. Right. Either he's never ever heard of Star Wars before, or he's a total retard. Sorry, this is just ridiculous. Apparently, 95% of people that listen to the Buzz are retarded nerds who are over-reacting to something they didn't have to listen to, something that's absolutely stupid. SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDOR. There. I said it. | | Wednesday, July 20th, 2005 | | 1:57 pm |

Special pics
So I've been helping on a special project here at work, and it has inspired me to do some things with pictures of other people I know. I have here four that I've done as a test... tell me what you think. ( Read more... ) | | Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005 | | 8:46 pm |
Yes, I am Alive
Hello all! Wow, its been a really long time since I posted... and I don't really check the journals that much anymore, either. But I was in the mood to this evening. This week is my last week of school before finals, and the next week and a half doesn't look to shabby for me. I don't know if any of you are really that interested, but my life has only been getting better and better this past year. My college theatre career is skyrocketing already. I've been in three of the four main stage productions, I've grown a lot from what I did at RHS, and it looks like the only way I have to go is up from here. I've made so many new friends (and a few new enemies, believe it or not), and my relationship with my girlfriend has lasted nearly 7 months now. Anyway, thought I'd give a short little update to you all. Let me know how you're doing. Lucas Villanueva | | Saturday, February 5th, 2005 | | 8:21 pm |

At this point, I don't really care who wins... but I saw this this morning and I simply had to post it here.  | | Wednesday, October 20th, 2004 | | 9:17 am |
Today is my birthday. I am now 19 years of age. :) | | Wednesday, September 29th, 2004 | | 10:21 pm |
Holy Crap
Ohhh, Holy Craaaaap.... Tonight was the best rehearsal I've ever, ever, EVER been a part of. I can't even find a way to explain how I felt when we were doing it... I completely believed myself... that I was no longer myself, that I was this other character... I've never done that before. Shit. Current Mood:  hyper | | Sunday, September 19th, 2004 | | 8:22 pm |
Wow, its been awhile since I updated. The reason I'm feeling gloomy right now is because I'm just getting over being sick - I've had a sore throat for about a week and a half now, and my neck and back are really sore. Either from the way I was sitting a few nights ago, or the way I sleep in bed. I need a massage. Or a chiropractor. I'm also just all around tired. I suppose that's because the last three days of the week I end up being really lazy... Friday I have one class for just a few hours, and then Saturday and Sunday I don't do much of anything besides surf the net and play video games. I would hang out with friends more, but most of them end up going out of town on weekends, or they don't live on campus anyway and I only have one person's number. So I can't hang out that much. I'm hoping that at some point I could maybe - possibly - eventually - get around to working on this script/screenplay. Its hard to find any extra time to work on it because I get to be so tired during the day... plus rehearsals start for me tomorrow night. Anyway. See ya'll later. Current Mood:  gloomy | | Tuesday, September 7th, 2004 | | 10:26 pm |
Thankfully my week so far has been much better than my weekend ended up. Got to spend a lot of time talking and getting to know a few people tonight. A big group of us got together and walked over to Baskin Robbins to get ice cream - school sponsored, so we didn't have to pay a cent. I'm glad that I'm easily able to make new friends at this school. I already have people to hang out with, talk to, go see movies with, etc. I'm still not sure what to think about this weekend, though. My only question right now is... have I really lost a friend, or is this going to end up blowing over in the end? Wish I could say. Current Mood:  contemplative | | Monday, September 6th, 2004 | | 1:19 am |
So I heard this song on the radio a week or two ago and I really liked it... I never expected to feel this way so soon. And its really more about a close friend than a "lover", which is what the girl is in the song. But I thought it still applied in this sense. I was listening to it... and I felt really sad.

I always do really stupid, foolish stuff when I like someone. And then later I wonder why they didn't respond well to me. What the fuck? | | Saturday, September 4th, 2004 | | 12:34 am |
I have a confession to make... and yet I can't seem to make it. Not directly, anyway. I don't know why, either, because it seems like it should be really easy to make. I don't really have a lot of time to make it, either. ~sigh~ Why do I have to be this way? | | Monday, August 30th, 2004 | | 8:43 am |
So my first "week" of school was pretty good. Classes started on Wednesday for me, so I got to meet all of my teachers and have an idea what to expect. I'm very excited about a few things right now. 1) I auditioned, and made it into, University Singers, which is roughly the equivalent of Varsity Singers or Chamber Choir at Rockhurst. Basically, this means that I get to do a lot of singing. But, the added part is, in January I get to go to Carnegie Hall to sing; four nights in the Grand Hyatt; after the choir events, a cruise around the Statue of Liberty; and a free ticket to go into the Empire State Building. 2) I auditioned for the first two shows of the year, and I did make it into one show, WITH a speaking part! For Freshman at this level, that's fairly difficult to do, you know. I'm excited about being in the show. 3) I get to see Casey this weekend :D I know most of you don't really talk to me all that much, but Casey and I have become very close friends since about the middle of summer. So I don't really need to explain why I'm so excited to see her again. Plus... I know she can use a lot of support right now, and I at least hope that I'm one of the right people to offer it to her. I miss all of you guys. | | Sunday, August 22nd, 2004 | | 6:25 pm |
Heard from Casey today. It was really good to hear from her again. Okay, so I don't have much to post today... which is odd, because I usually have at least a paragraph. Weird. | | Tuesday, August 17th, 2004 | | 11:50 am |
Well, my jailtime is nearly over. Tomorrow night I fly back into town and perhaps get to catch up on some sleep before I move into the dorm on the 21st. I'll probably spend some time tonight packing for the trip home, then when I get home pack a bunch of clean stuff for my room at school. So I finally found a Screensaver Building program to use for Macs, and I put every picture from Casey's CollegeGift CD on it... as well as a bunch from her website. It ended up numbering at 872 pictures. Whoever is still in town, I'll be glad to show it to you. I also have the ability to create it in a format for windows, if anyone should want it. I even added a fitting audio tune to go with it... I could make the audio optional, of course. |
