So… I
decided to start a blog. I figured it was only fair since I have a lot on my
mind yet so little time to share it. And its ok by me if people don’t care,
with the rate we are going with technology I’m surprise a five second
commercial holds our attention. How does it feel to be a guinea pig for the beginnings
of the matrix… cuz folks this is the matrix. But I’m not going to start off by
scaring you I want you to like me first.
So I am an
artist, a choreographer with some theatre directing in there. I work for a
production company and we just had a successful run of a musical which to my
dismay I ended up leading due to unfortunate casting decisions. I am thankful
however for the experience; I forgot how fun it could be to perform. Its 2015
so I also have a day job, a 9 to 5 that I thoroughly enjoy. It’s in
hospitality. So yeah, this story isn’t new. You know what else isn’t new. I had
my heart toyed with (as I see it.) I’m not bitter, the second time around I want
to get it right. What does that mean?
I dunno.
I have some interesting friends… don’t we all.
I LOVE God… Does that make you want to run? I mean I’m no nun, I don’t think
I’m even all that religious, but boy do I love God… Even if I ignore him
sometimes… I am a stubborn woman, God and I laugh about that all the time. I’ve
made some interesting decisions on my journey so far, I’ll do my best to tell
you about them; but honestly that’s the past, and I’m done with all of that.
I’ll tell you on a need to know bases.
So what am I
doing? When I was a little girl I always envisioned that I will become a lady,
a pearl wearing Audrey Hepburn-ish lady. And so now that I’m done with the dead
weight… dead weight because he wasn’t available in any way shape or form. I
decided that I will become that Woman… one way or another. And meet great
people to add on to my new, always been image because I don’t think I’m going
to find prince charming on one date. I also want to grow as an individual… make
a name for me. I decided to start with Athena Bast. My alter ego so I can curse
motherfuckers out when I need too… though Ann does a good job at that most naturally;
she’s been through too much in the past few years… Ok her whole life to deal
with this transition without a few brows being raised and a whole community questioning
her. Who wants to deal with that?
So let me
introduce some of my family and friends. There’s my sister, we’ll call her
Kennedy. Kennedy is into fashion design and she’s a Libra so she can be pretty
blunt and self-involved. She’s taking classes at FIT which makes her a
superstar in my eyes. She’s nine years younger than me (I’m 32) so she’s my
fresh eyes. There’s Azaiya, my best friend the first of my friends to have a
child whom I absolutely adore. Azaiya is also a Libra but a September one. There
MIN my best friend. Min stands for mistress in the night, she’s my boggy woggy
friend you always have an interesting or wild time with her. She’s awesome, we
bump heads a lot. Last but not least… and not really last there is Nika, my
friend from the second grade. She is a no nonsense kind of woman, but she’s
also a shit load of fun. I know a lot of
people. I’m sure they will pop up as we go along!
