CaRzKiM517: sounds good....so you did theater back at home, didn't you?
GIOVAN058: yea, like i played basketball then i took voice lessons and really liked them so i decided to quit basketball and do the musical and i got the lead my junior year then a part my senior year
GIOVAN058: what did o do
GIOVAN058: *you
CaRzKiM517: well i was never a good singer or anything (actually really bad), so i did alot of the behind the scenes stuff....
CaRzKiM517: i actually directed my school play junior year
CaRzKiM517: what musical did u have the lead in?
GIOVAN058: ohh thats sweet!
GIOVAN058: My Favorite Year
GIOVAN058: haha now hate that show
GIOVAN058: haha
CaRzKiM517: lol....yea i cant tell you how much I hate the Music Man and West Side Story after doing them freshmen and sophomore year
GIOVAN058: haha i love both
GIOVAN058: haha
CaRzKiM517: I guess you just get sick of them after doing them day after day for hours and hours
GIOVAN058: i wanted to do west side story my senior year because we had SOOO many guys (that or footloose) but we did How to Succeed In Business Without REally Trying
CaRzKiM517: West Side Story was an amazing show....i was co-director with that one (they didnt have a student director), and putting it all together was amazing
GIOVAN058: it was sweet
GIOVAN058: yea if you have gooda ctors and stuff then its alot of fun
CaRzKiM517: we had like 3 story risers on the side for the balconies
CaRzKiM517: did your school have a big budget for their theater department>?
GIOVAN058: umm yea but like not a shitload, she worked really well with what she got.
GIOVAN058: and we had really good handyman in the back that made alot of stuff too
CaRzKiM517: our school was lucky, we had a HUGE budget....we spent thousands on shows
GIOVAN058: thats sweet..like our auditorium was only like 675 people
GIOVAN058: we sold out every night though, like our director is well-known
CaRzKiM517: wow...thats awesome we had 1200 seats
CaRzKiM517: and sold out like 2 of the nights i think
CaRzKiM517: so, the lead...how scary was that?
GIOVAN058: thats still good though
GIOVAN058: are you doing your final on the musical?
CaRzKiM517: i honestly have no idea
CaRzKiM517: i dont think it matters...as long as we talk and post something so that other people can find similar interests
GIOVAN058: haha ya
GIOVAN058: i think i am going to do mine on abortion
CaRzKiM517: yea thatd be a good topic
GIOVAN058: i think
CaRzKiM517: i might do mine on legalizing marijuana...haha
GIOVAN058: you should!!!
GIOVAN058: thats would be really good
GIOVAN058: like you could define the uses of it (other than the obvious)
GIOVAN058: like you could use melissa etheridge becuase she smoked every day
CaRzKiM517: yea and today in ECON we were talking about elasticity of prices and my prof. was talking about how drugs are a perfect example
CaRzKiM517: o wow, really? i didnt know that
CaRzKiM517: thanks
CaRzKiM517: we had to do a mock congress in a class sr. year and a group did legalizing marijuana...and they did a really good job...like focused on economic stand points and stuff
CaRzKiM517: another group did abortion too...and it was a deep presentation...really graphic
GIOVAN058: yea i could kill this if we had to present it
GIOVAN058: but thats ok
CaRzKiM517: so r u pro life or pro choice? if you dont mind me asking, of course
GIOVAN058: i mean i could define it from two points of view, pro-choice and pro-life, and then throw in my opinion for whichever i believe, then i could evaluate different points of views from like Bush and Kerry,
GIOVAN058: then i could do a causal argument (because thats what everyone argues ,,why the need the abortion)
GIOVAN058: then i could also use an analogy like.....abortion:baby::death:old person
GIOVAN058: haha not that analogy but you know what i mean
CaRzKiM517: yea that sounds perfect...like i think its gonna be basically we need to incorportate all (or most) of the types are arguments we have learned
CaRzKiM517: so it seems like you've got this down
CaRzKiM517: haha
GIOVAN058: yea i figure
GIOVAN058: im prolife
GIOVAN058: by the way
GIOVAN058: lol
CaRzKiM517: gotcha
GIOVAN058: but then again
GIOVAN058: pro-life
GIOVAN058: because there are soo many horrible things that can happen to people because (rape etc)
GIOVAN058: that could make them pregnant
GIOVAN058: and them not want that child
GIOVAN058: and leave it to have a bad life
GIOVAN058: then again
GIOVAN058: there is always adoption that people could take care of it
CaRzKiM517: yea...like pro-choice under certain circumstances
GIOVAN058: haha right
GIOVAN058: which is a good standpoint for this paper
CaRzKiM517: thats gonna be a hard counter argument to tackle
GIOVAN058: no its not...
CaRzKiM517: the adoption thing?
GIOVAN058: cause ill argue the prolife standpoint
GIOVAN058: and then the counter is obviously pro-choice
GIOVAN058: and then i can argue adoption and other things
CaRzKiM517: right....i get that...
CaRzKiM517: idk, nevermind
GIOVAN058: haha
GIOVAN058: does that sound good enough?
CaRzKiM517: i think it sounds really good
CaRzKiM517: you've thought about this alot more than i have :-X
GIOVAN058: haha
GIOVAN058: well abortion is like really broad,,,which can be hard
CaRzKiM517: well there will be alot you can discuss
CaRzKiM517: and alot of chances to make different types of arguments
CaRzKiM517: so i think the broadness will end up being a good thing
GIOVAN058: yeaa
GIOVAN058: but that also leaves loopholes
GIOVAN058: you should definitely do legalize marijuanna
GIOVAN058: marijuana
CaRzKiM517: yea i think i might
CaRzKiM517: its just kinda taboo....ya know?
GIOVAN058: right but thats what people care about
CaRzKiM517: exactly
GIOVAN058: you could do what it does for bodybuilders and use like Arnold and Melissa Etheridge as like examples
GIOVAN058: that would be really good
GIOVAN058: and then you could argue from a standpoint of how you want it legalized and stuff and that would work
CaRzKiM517: its gonna require alot of research, but i think i can make a strong argument
CaRzKiM517: what does it do for body builders?
GIOVAN058: yea yea...
GIOVAN058: like if you watch pumping iron (lol i know)
GIOVAN058: its a movie of arnold lifting
GIOVAN058: and he smokes in the end because it like relaxes your muscles
GIOVAN058: you cuold def find information about that on the internet
CaRzKiM517: o wow i didnt know that
CaRzKiM517: yea...and like i said there are alot of economic positives in legalizing it
CaRzKiM517: and numerical evidence is always strong in an argument
GIOVAN058: yea the united states would make a shitload
GIOVAN058: yea thas true
CaRzKiM517: yea and like poverty stricken countries would have a whole new source of income
GIOVAN058: yeaa
GIOVAN058: thats good
CaRzKiM517: haha....i think itll be fun to research all this stuff
CaRzKiM517: well, not FUN, but interesting
GIOVAN058: haha yea not fun
GIOVAN058: definitely not
