I do not have a title yet for this. Any suggestions would be great! (warning I have been reading a lot of old English Poetry lately...)
How harsh days do but hurry
with fleeting time, which
the children of grindstone sharpened
steal doesth but bring
the perils of war
Death doesth not long terry
but rather leaves a great
feast for the carrion.
Grey shadows, the wolf
which before the dawn
do but mangle the bodies
of those great souls,
Whom with crash of steal
and brake of shield
doth hand over their
lives to the Lord God everlasting
And death, Great King
Knows yet no defeat
For game leaves a few
broken souls for later torment.
When with gloomy call
the grey-haired he doesth groan
For all those brothers
which long journeyed before
to the everlasting hall.
Earthly treasures remain
glory mothed and torn
Death doeths take us all.

The next part of the Journey
I woke up this morning at 4:30am. A time which is way too early. But my body decided that that is when I should wake up. I guess that for the most part it is because I have too much to worry about for the moment. I made a list of things so that you could maybe get a small idea of what I have to worry about.
(1)I have to call my Landlord today to talk about subleasing my apartment/signing over the lease to someone else. I like my landlord, but this is not going to be a fun conversation.
(2)I'm continuing training today for my job so that I can take incoming calls and deal with irate customers. Fun!
(3)I'm meeting a possible future roommate and her two cats in fish town. (I'm actually looking forward to this part of my day, although I am rather nervous about it.)
(4)I have to pack at some point today, because tomorrow I am going to my roommates how for Easter. (Leaving the city is going to be so nice. I need green fields and woods and no pavement.)
I guess what I am trying to say is that my body on the day that I need more sleep not less, wakes me up super early. Annoying.
What is scaring me the most is that I have to move, or more then likely will be moving at the end of April. Grant it will more than likely be to better place in Philadelphia and maybe closer to where I work. Still I have a feeling that this next month is going to be a rather crazy one. At least I know that there will be a lot of changes no matter what. I guess stay tune for more crazy stories... Also soon I am going to post some poems/stories that I have been working on lately in the hope of getting some feed back.

Philadelphia Artist
Hello my name is Rena. (Everyone says 'hello Rena') I'm addicted to theatre, yes that's right theatre. And I have no intention of changing my ways, I'm such a horrible person. Of course some of you are laughing at this point, because theatre can not be that horrible of an addiction. But I am sorry to say it is. I moved to Philadelphia in November because I want to do theatre, real theatre (whatever that means). Filthadelphia, which I actually am slightly in love with.
Of course whether or not I'm actually doing what I came to Philadelphia to do is another question. I am an actress, writer, and director (and yes slightly insane). But what have I actually done since I moved to Philly? Well I was jobless for a couple of months, which let me tell you was great both for my credit score and my bank account. Its not really a joke when people talk about starving artists, although luckily thanks to a credit card I have yet to starve (which is I will admit a sad commentary on us spoiled Americans). At first I was rather good at auditioning. And then I did a show with a bunch of zombie enthusiasts out of Manayunk. And it looks as though I might be doing more shows with them. (They are called the Dawson St. Dramatic Society, had to plug them in here somewhere.)
Since doing the show though I have not really been doing anything theatre related, other then writing a short zombie play (easily influenced anyone?). And of course I am working full time, but that has absolutely nothing to do with theatre, although I am happy to say that it is not in food service. I really need to start auditioning again.
Auditioning. Might I state that who ever created this horrid practice should be shot (I'm really a none violent person). I hate auditions, and I have sat on both sides of the table. I hate auditioning for shows, and I feel that I am actually rather horrible at it. And I hate trying to cast shows from Auditions, although I will say as Director its nice to have just a little more power in the situation. Nevertheless, I must audition to get parts and I must audition to cast shows. So I have resigned myself to the fact that I will have to do something about auditioning more.
Perhaps what is bothering me the most right now is trying to decided if this is the direction that I really want for my life. So this blog is hopefully my story while I figure out a lot of things. The goal is to be accountableto all of you people out there, I have to give this more of a shot.
First road block: Subleasing my apartment to someone else so that I can sublease from someone else. But more on that tomorrow.
