A Dream of Desire

Sweet Girl From Fort Lauderdale?

Hollywood-Certified or the ^Jump^

When I was 2, I was asked if I wanted to stay in gymnastics, which I started at 1 3/4.  My mom was the #1 gymnast of her country, and my dad was a very nice American.  The funny thing is I wanted to stay.  I didn't want exercise to be my life.  I didn't even want to compete.  I didn't do anything else just to see what would happen.

People in Fort Lauderdale, Today

It was "Florida," it was Miami...  It's Fort Lauderdale, too, at least, or definitely a point of the inclusion of it all.

So, New Orleanians are trying to say they are from the hottest climate, at least in the USA maybe other than Hawaii, Texas, and parts of the Southwest.  The thing is Floridians don't have ancestors there, but many are there a long time and for whatever dream or incentive.

You'd almost say that the foreign feeling of Floridians transfers to the New Orleanians.

The strange thing is, today people from Fort Lauderdale can cross over smoothly to New Orleans.

The Pleasures of Love - Everything Solved

The Pleasures of Love

Everything Solved

I watched an exercise video with a long lean girl leading.  She was a brunette, of some sort.  She looked like she was born around 1982.

The only kind of thing she did was support that people like Andre Rieu's youngest son got to be like a cute little child with fair features and like him, to feel lots of European and childlike and peppy sorts of pleasures and dreams and fun and to live forever with the rest of the world.

Why, you ask me? do I support her and this? because everyone else just wants to be a teenager as a child or an adult young/early..  Just make life easy and get the bitterness out.

His son has a Jewish mom from Europe, Germany/Italy.  So, it's that the only people who might've been interested are the Jewish people.

Who is Andre Rieu, some of you ask?  He is a French boy from the Netherlands with a dad in classical music.  So, he's pretty fair for a man but not "shy" like a "Scandinavian."  He is as popular as a lady born in the 1st part of 1961, that class.

Reminiscing - The Dolls at the Ballet

The Dolls at the Ballet

I can remember, looking back now, how lucky I was to find a school with a "good" and unique music program, not sure how it measures up to the humble quality of conservatories Up North in the U.S.A. However, I was not thinking about the music school at this particular time but its old ballet program, a ballet minor. I also took the "preparatory" program after school. That's classes 3 days a week as a minor and Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday with the "preparatory" program. I guess I didn't take the long "character" dancing classes on Wednesdays. My roommate did. Actually, my 1st year, I was told to take the Beginning II and Intermediate classes, and I didn't take the "preparatory" classes that year.

I remember after life was a success I went back to Loyola and did this. I was thinking of how it was in back in the soda room with the girls. I remember their dreams, not of ballet, girls of New Orleans. I lived there, too, in the suburb as a teenager, age 12-19 and college there until 20. There were some good ones before Hurricane Katrina.

Things to walk away with are that natives and children in the ballet feel more at home and like they can fit in in New Orleans or be a part of New Orleans. Loyola no longer has the ballet program but a musical theater maybe minor and a dance and cheerleading team, which were small when I was there. I started to audition for the dance team and probably would have made it if I stayed. The dance team looks pretty active. Remember MySpace?
