Billy Joel Monologue

1362 Words6 Pages

Billy Joel may have been right when he said “Vienna waits for you”, but the girl that the song reminds me of, she doesn’t wait for me. Granted, I don’t deserve her, and what I did to get her was wrong, but that doesn’t make the pain any less. Although I could write to you about the countless ways my family screwed me over, about the cold nights I spent in crack houses or the fights over custody of me that drew cop cars to our doors, I feel like this story is much more personal, and shows a side of me that many people never see. All I ask is that I am not judged for what I did; there are plenty people already that have made their judgements on my moral fiber, and I would hope that you don’t do, though if you do I can’t help it. I try my damndest as a human being to do what is right, but at the same time I was always raised to believe that the individual trumps all, being a big follower of Ayn Rand’s Virtue of Selfishness, and all that. So when the opportunity arose to pursue love, and to be with a crush of mine for a very long time, I weighed the good: My happiness, someone to cherish …show more content…

That and the fact that Snoopy had ran outside and was now barking his head off at me from underneath the trampoline. He ran in circles, in polygons, in dodecahedrons, he ran in every shape possible to get at me ( I wasn’t worried by him, he’s a tiny dog, smaller than Savannah, If you can believe that), and the entire time he ran he barked. That sound, and the music Savannah played are the most prominent noises I can recall from that day, but they sum it up pretty well. Anyways, Savannah eventually got tired of trampolining, and went inside to get watermelon, not a whole thing (that would be bigger than her, Okay I’m done with the small people jokes for good now, Sorry), but just a pack of cut up

    “I know that in writing the following pages I am divulging the great secret of my life, the secret which for some years I have guarded far more carefully than any of my earthly possessions; and it is a curious study to me to analyze the motives which prompt me to do it. I feel that I am led by the same impulse which forces the un-found-out criminal to take somebody into his confidence, although he knows that the act is likely, even almost certain, to lead to his undoing. I know that I am playing with fire, and I feel the thrill which accompanies that most fascinating pastime; and, back of it all, I think I find a sort of savage and diabolical desire to gather up all the little tragedies of my life, and turn them into a practical joke on society”

Clarie only knew her because she thought she hung out with the *stoners*. If I think about it, that is actually rude, I can’t explain it, but it just seems rude. Is the only reason she’s mean to me because I’m selfish, and never really paid any attention to her, nor her boyfriend, ‘Nate’?

    For a brief moment, miles away from the eyes of god, time itself stood still. And the singing birds went silent in their canopies, and the gentle licks of a passing breeze abated, as if the entire world, save Gatsby, knew. Knew that, like an old timepiece, the gears within the depths of George Wilson’s being had long since begun to fragment, and with the urgency of newfound knowledge, he had only one thought on his mind. Certainly, as he glided towards Gatsby’s mansion—and ultimately, into the foliage that surrounded it— Wilson’s breathing was neither slow nor rapid, nor shallow nor heavy, but rather, it fluctuated with an unrelenting attitude, and trapped between immense grief and rage, he carried himself dangerously with each step.

    It seems as though jealousy and hypocrisy have been intertwined with parts of the church since it was established. Texas Tech University’s production of Carlisle Floyd’s opera Susannah captures a situation in which a church community makes envious assumptions of an innocent girl and ruin not only her identity but her sense of self. I attended the opera’s opening night on Friday, March 31, 2017, at the Allen Theatre in the Student Union where Chong Wang brilliantly played the part of Susannah. As I waited for the opera to begin, I glanced around the auditorium and noticed a few families, students, and adults from the Lubbock community, so I didn’t know what to expect from the show. The stage set an unassuming atmosphere due to the lack of scenery

    Arguably one of if not his best sketch would be his hob nobs sketch from the tour that didn’t tour tour. “Do you ever dip your biscuit in your tea and it breaks? I swear to god no matter how old you get you never get over that and you panic when it falls in, there’s nothing you can do, you can see it happening, it’s like slow motion “he begins the sketch using emotive language to show how passionate he is on the topic which the audience can relate to as mentioned earlier a lot of them have probably been in that position. The whole sketch is based around his experience with dipping rich tea biscuits. He uses personification to describe the rich tea as “lazy” in comparison to other biscuits such as a Hobnob biscuit, in which he uses a metaphor to describe it as a ‘Marine’ and the ‘the SAS’ because of their better quality.

    From the moment the audaciously charismatic Rosemary LeVeaux paraded into what was then Coal Valley, I was fully enamored with the actress who created such a polarizing character. It seemed that either you liked Rosie, or you hated her; there was no in-between. As Pascale Hutton has continued with the cast, we have begun to witness the transformation of Rosemary, and from season two onward, I have declared Rosemary and Lee my most treasured couple. Pascale is truly one of my favorite actresses, and I was privileged to chat with her recently, and for me, it was a dream come true. (You should have heard the emotion and excitement that permeated my voice!)
