Okay, so it’s been a really long time since I’ve written something. Not because I’ve been busy (which I have), but because a lot of things have happened lately and I’m not sure of how to write about them on here without giving a way too much. but I’ll try.
Right now I’m at home during Spring Break. We got two weeks for break, and I took the school shuttle back with Jazmine and David. First I spent 4 days in New York visiting the family and such. We went to the movies to see Beastly (the book was much better, but the movie was decent), an Off-Broadway performance called Fuerzabruta. It was hella weird. First off, there were no seats for this performance; everyone was standing in this warehouse type room looking up at the stage. It started with this man in a suit running on a treadmill/walkway thing with rain and getting shot dead. Then they do the whole thing again (with him running and getting shot), but THEN they do this badass water sequence that was really cool. A bunch of women on a tank above our heads creating patterns and shapes in the water. Here’s some quick clips:

Anyways, certain aspects of it were amazing (like the water stuff and the music), but the performance as a whole was quite repetitive (how many times do I have to see that man running and getting shot?). It was a cool idea tho. Im glad I experienced it.
Had some fun shopping and hanging out with the cousins. Also before Fuerzabruta we went to Dylan’s Candy Bar and Wildwood BBQ (delicious!). Dylan’s Candy Bar was a really big deal – I’m a serious candy lover and it was a place I have wanted to go for years – and I finally made it there! It was amazing. 3 floors of candy everywhere. I was in heaven.
The rest of the trip was great – and the best part was chillin’ with my cousins. My sister and I’s presence automatically puts my cousin Melissa into a better mood (Melissa told us this). We watched some movies
(Secretariat), went shopping (Target at CityCenter), and ate dinner at the Melting Pot. Great trip!
