Oh no I've jumped on the bandwagon..

So in preparation for the much anticipated movie breakout, I decided to do my homework/research into why people like High School Musical so much. Having watched the sing along version of the first one and just sat through the second on this rainy day, I get it.

HSM is this generation's Grease (but way cornier). Perhaps I'm just jaded because I'm eons removed from high school and now thoroughly laden with life's realities post undergrad. But I totally get it, "We're all in this together..." la di da! It's catchy and what makes it worse, with my musical theater background I could TOTALLY do this! Hell the token black chick is older than me!


But all this is to say, I'd rather my little cousins' be subscribing to this and staying their age a little bit longer than Gossip Girl at 10. It is to them what Mickey Mouse Club and Kids Incorporated was to me (yeah that's right Fergie, I remember you as "Sarah" on Kids Inc.!). It's pure clean fun, and while the morals to the story are more predictable than words can say, watching Zac Efron dance alone on a golf course was entirely worth it (HSM2).

I'm blunt...and rather observant...DUH that means I should blog! I suffer from, no let me rephrase, I combat living with an AVM on a daily basis. An AVM is an Abnormal Veinous Malformation which affects about 250,000 people in the US (http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/cerebro/AVM.htm#Link8). It affects everyone differently, for me it's caused a constant headache since 2003...litterally. I've been in countless doctors offices, been poked and proded, been through the emotions of being misdiagnosed with a brain tumor. Needless to say, I've been through a lot and not just because of my...let's call it an ailment. Above all I've developed a less than common outlook on life and perception of things.Don't for one minute misconstrue, I'm in no way a victim, I'm self-sufficient almost to a fault and encourage others to turn their weaknesses into empowerment. It builds character and makes for one hell of a screenplay ha! That combined with growing up immersed in a semi-charmed world, and the glitz and glamour of Hollyweird leads to some interesting anecdotes...Here are my thoughts...

There are many other Headcases in the world...here are a few..
