These Are the Thoughts...

Sometimes, I'm not quite fond of cabarets (well, except for the Broadway musical), but I am intrigued by them because of the one thing they offer: a chance to discover new talents.

And I suppose that's what happened with Scott Alan. Though he is not a major hit right now, he is still succeeding in show business with his small musicals and music. I bought an iTunes CD which compiled his best work, and one of the songs is something I truly fell in love with.

It's called "Never Never Land (Fly Away)", and it's such a beautiful piece. It is somber, yet hopeful. I just really enjoy listening to it over and over.

And to add the cherry & whip cream to the sundae, the chosen one to sing this song is Stephanie J. Block! Her voice is BEAUTIFUL, and she is one of the most amazing musical actress to ever walk on the face of the planet.

She has starred in a few Broadway productions, but her name didn't get any credit until she starred as Liza Minnelli in "The Boy From Oz," a musical based on the life & music of Peter Allen. I've also came across her path whne I saw Wicked in Tampa in the year of 2006. Stephanie played Elphaba, and every song she sang was perfection. What an amazing performer.

But back to the point, what an amazing songwriter, and what a song. It brings tears to me eyes every time.

When I was on Adam4Adam.com today, I just realized something startling. When I first joined the site 2 years ago, mostly just older men were into me. I was 22 at the time. Most of the messages I received were from men over the age of 30, and they were mostly just for a hookup. Very, very, very rarely did I ever get a message from anyone my age at the time. If I did, it would be from someone who had seen me at work, school, or a bar. They would say nothing more than "I've seen you here/there before." When I would try to message them back, they would never respond or read the message.

However, 2 years later, with an updated profile & picture, I seem to be getting less and less messages from older men. Which defines the fact that this area I live in is full of pedophiles or older men who just like to go after younger men. But to my surprise, I find that more younger people, ages from 19-22, are interested in getting to know me in an old-fashioned way than a quickie.

So to sum it all up:

When I was 22, older men were into me, and younger men were into only themselves or nobody else. But as I progressed to 24, younger men are interested in having an intellectual conversation with me while older men give up trying to convince me to sleep with them.

That's just my thoughts for this night. Now I am off to la-la land. Cheers.
