I recently auditioned for the stage production of Pocahontas.
When I went in to the audition, the director was looking at my resume and commented that he had "hated" a movie I had appeared in (Transporter 2), but said it in a friendly, joking way. I jokingly agreed that the movie stunk, we all had a good laugh. I then handed the pianist my sheet music and proceeded to sing. I am a baritone, auditioned with the song "Beauty School Dropout". After the second verse he stoppped me, thanked me and told me he would be in touch.
My performance had been good, didn't miss a note. I am my own worst critic, so believe me, I would say it if I felt I hadn't done well.
Of course I never heard from them. What bothers me is that they were casting 12 roles and from what I saw, about 16 people showed up to audition, and one girl I know didnt even sing. So they REALLY didn't want me.
Was it my song choice? Or that I am a baritone and most music is written for tenors? WHY DIDN'T THEY WANT ME??????

Do you think a person whose been offered a place in a decent university would be deprived in his/her student learning experiences as compared to if he/she would have tried to spent an extra year improving their foundation and got into a better university? What makes great institutions great? And how is it that some people despite the odds have remained more succesful in what they do than compared to someone who had gone to a great insitutions and did not come out as good as the former? Does that justify not working harder to get improve one's prospects. Uff im confused.

It is universally acknowledge that a black man in seek of justice would be killed sooner or later. And that is my brother’s story, he was murdered by whites. It’s hard living without him, I miss him and I still have him in my heart. This is his story and I would take you into a life of misery, pain, cruelty, racism and passion.

His name was Tom Letrina Garcia Estrada. He was born in New Orleans during the civil war. Although Letrina was the oldest brother, he didn’t look that old, he always look younger than me. Our father was a shoemaker, just like Letrina; he passed away some years before my nephew Ryan Anthony was born, who’s son of Letrina.

Letrina was an ordinary black guy, who only wanted justice for all black people in America. He had hard life, a life of cruelty and racism where white people didn’t care about blacks; black people were often lynched or legally killed in America. Tom Letrina lived in old house with his wife Samantha Olivia; the house wasn’t all that great since it was made up of mud bricks, and it had a roof that was falling apart. Moreover, he was a poor person who didn’t afford luxuries, but at least he could afford his family well being.

At some point in my brother’s adolescence he was persecuted by wild people for an unknown reason and almost killed by Christian Hank. Hank was an ugly white guy full of horrific ideas in his mind. “Ha, ha, ha this is your last day in planet Earth Letrina. Your last day… I’m going to kill you Letrina, you have always been a pain in the… I’m going to kill you Letrina.” Christian Hank murmured.
“Yeah right, like you would dare to kill me, you’re just jealous of me because I’m a happy person and you are not. Am I right?” I asked.
“Oh go to hell Letrina.” Responded Christian.
After telling him this, he stayed quiet for about ten seconds and then attacked me with his knife, cutting my stomach into two. It was a big wound, my small intestine were coming out along with blood coming out really fast. I don’t remember what happened next, I just remember that somehow I appeared in the hospital.

Letrina had a diary in which he wrote his appalling moments, one incident he wrote was a dream. There I was in old deserted street of New Orleans waiting for a ride to my house. As I was waiting in the old bus station I started to realize something in the air. The air was getting colder and the sky was turning weird and wonderful. It was someone being lynched. He screamed help, help, but nobody helped him. Laughs could be heard from far behind. But then some guy screamed out “Hey you, black guy you’re next. Come on Letrina you’re the next one”
“No, I am not next, I haven’t done anything wrong,” I said. When I woke up I realize I was very nervous and my face was about to explode.

I remember that night was very dark, and the climate was getting colder, along with a breeze that was gently falling and the police was coming for me. When the police officer arrived at my house he told me “hello, is this Letrina’s house?”
“Sir, yes sir. How may I help you in this lovely day?” I responded
“Well… who’s Tom Letrina? Asked the officer
“That’s me. How may I help you sir?” I responded in a nice way
“Well… how can I tell you this? You are being arrested for physically abusing Anna Sofia. You have the right to remain silence and everything you say would be use against you.”

Letrina was taken to court, and in there found innocent of raping Anna Sofia Mc horse. This was one of the few cases were black people were founded innocent, since black people were taken to court to be legally killed, in other words so racist would make more of their own.

After the judge had told him that he was innocent of raping the beautiful Anna Sofia, he was full of joy plus looking forward to move to another state. He wanted to move to a state in which they would be treated right.

A month later after my brother’s trial, he was found extremely massacre with his internal organs hanging out, and worst of all, was that he was also lynched; White people made of their own by killing my dear Letrina who only wanted justice. His wife Samantha Olivia suffered for month, she ended up publishing my brother’s diary some years later after Letrinas death. Tom Letrina was killed unfairly, and no action was taken.

I consider myself intelligent, though not necessarily well-read. If I had to chose only 10 books in the world, what books should I read to be considered "educated" and well-read?
I assume the Bible is one....
