Hello People
So Elaine Stritch has come and gone. It was freakin’ Amazing!!!! I can’t even describe the energy that was in the room when she was talking and performing. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the 1.5 hours she was @ DeSales. but before I get to into it, Chinese New Years.
We are now in the year of the Ox! And today (Tuesday), we are in the second day of celebration. It last for three days, for those of you that don’t know. This past weekend, I celebrated with my family and it was a great time had by all. The festivities usually include Eating, getting red envelopes with money in them, and GAMBLING (on a friendly, non-aggressive kind of way). It is always fun. I only wish I could have been home for the actual days of the Lunar New Year, but sacrifices have to be made. So Happy Chinese New Years to all!
————————————————————————————
Okay, so here it is. My Six Part Vlog of Elaine Stritch! Now there is far too much footage to put all in one blog, so I’ll separate into three days worth of blogs. I’ll post two videos each day. So Check Back each day!
Part 1
Part 2
Alrighty, I got to go back to doing homework and such. I’ll have more to fill you in on soon.
Peace Out,
Pete
Hello People.
So My Vlog today will tell you about a special guest that is coming to DeSales University! I am so very excited!
How Freakin’ Amazing!?!?
So here is Julia Stroup’s Voice Recital Piece as I Promised in the Vlog. Many more to come. Hopefully, each week I’ll have a new video of something related to the DSU Theatre Dept.
So I am up to my elbows in work! This semester is absolutely Cah-Razy! Besides the recent round of audition mania (still going on), teachers have just delved right into the semester. Since I was cheated of an extra week of break, I’m still in break mood. My body//mind is just not in the place it needs to be…Which is Bad! ahg.
Well, I suppose I should get back to my work.
Peace Out
Peter

Hello People.
As previously stated, I will now elaborate on this past year and the year to come.
I can say 2008 was very good to me. I feel that I have grown up, and I have grown as a person in many aspects of my life.
This past summer was one of the best summers I’ve ever had in my life. I enjoyed good times with friends and I did a wonderful little musical called “My Favorite Year” with some of the best people I know. I also got a chance to adapt a piece for the stage. I directed my adaptation of Shel Silverstein’s “The Giving Tree” and I was never more proud of any production I was a part of.
This past fall, My junior year started and I finally got a chance to direct a JDA, and I can say it was probably the most stressful thing ever, but one the most educational experiences I’ve had in the theatre. Not only did i get to be on the other side of the table, but I got a chance to work with great actors that I hope learned from me, but even better, I learned from them. Also, I got a chance to play a type that I thought not possible for myself in Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado.” It was a challenge, but once again, I learned volumes about myself as an actor and the craft itself.
This may sound crazy, but up until very recently, I never saw myself as an actor. I knew I enjoyed performing and having an outlet to express myself, and I knew that this whole acting thing was more than a phase and that I could see myself doing it as a career. Now you’re probably asking, “Why did you choose a major that you were not completely sure to make a career out it?” I knew what I was getting into, but I think I have finally made the connection, after four years, that when I act and perform and such, I am the most true form of ME. It may not make sense, as it doesn’t make sense to me at times, I enjoy being me to the fullest, and when I’m on a stage, I use all of me, all that I have, hence I am the truest ME.
and segue into New Years Resolutions…..
This year, I strive to be the Truest Form of ME more often. I don’t feel that I’m ever really fake, but I want to really go for the gold of always being the Real Peter Lam. This all sounds so dramatic….Whatever. So Look out 2008, The Real Peter Lam is coming out….well…not coming out per say, considering that’s not an issue anymore….hmmm. alrighty then.
Okay, so above is my big Resolution, onto a list of more superficial Resolutions:
- Get to Goal weight! And you know what!? I’ll put myself out there, I’m being accountable. I want to be 170 LBS by….the end of summer (August). I was about to put how many pounds I needed to lose but then the REAL Peter Lam realized most people readers can do simple arithmetic and figure out my current weight. So putting that information out there would have been ambitious…Regret.
- Become a full out vegetarian! No more Meat! I’ve been slowly becoming one, and I still need to learn more about the lifestyle, but hopefully by, March I will have weened myself off of it
- Go see more theatre! I realize I probably see more shows in a year than an average American, but I want more! Our economy has been hitting Broadway pretty hard, and i just want to support theatre by getting myself out there and seeing it more often. I totally think all readers should support this resolution
Well that is all for this blog. No video, but I’ll include some pictures of me on vacation in CA.
Out like Ellen,
Peter

Hello People.
Happy Freakin’ NEW YEAR! I realize it has been forever and a day since I lost blogged, but I’ve been busy. I hope everyone’s holidays went well and that the new year started well for each and every one of you!
My trip to California was wonderful! It was exactly what I needed to relax and just chill. I shopped, I ate (a bit too much), I went to DISNEYLAND! so much fun, and of course you can relive it with me by watching my VLOGS! ——————-
Part 1
Part 2
————————-
Check in both ways was a nightmare! I got randomly selected for a search and I had to pay for each bag I checked in. oh and since when did airline workers get so bitter and unnecessarily sassy? Anger.
————————–
This year, as any year, I want to continue to better myself as a person physically and mentally. I will continue on my path of health and hope to end in a place where I am satisfied. I hope you all keep your resolutions. Prove to yourself that you are in control and can achieve what you put your mind to do! Onward!
