Retarded Side

Ok...so, yesterday was my first tap rehearsal for 42nd St.  The girl that was sent from Beijing to help me learn all of the routines is Qu Lin.  She is a very nice girl and we hit it off the day that she arrived.  So, in the morning Rick ( our choreographer) along with Christine (the dance captain) taught Qu Lin and me the rountine for the first number, "Audition".  We only learned the first half of the routine and I was sweatin like I never sweat before!!!  It was endless dripping!!!  Those of you who really know me, you know that I don't really sweat much.  Anyways...it is a very very tiring routine and I still have the other half of the routine to learn and get up to tempo!!!  The rest of the day Qu Lin helped me with rehearsing what we had learned that day.  I found out that my left side is totally and completely retarded!!!  We must have rehearsed for about 4 hrs!!!  I started to get frustrated with myself so I had to stop.  You know, I've always loved tap.  I've always wanted to learn more...and now I regret all these years of giving up.  But...I know why I've given up in the past...it's because of my retarded left side!!!  So....I have to start really focusing on making my left side strong enough to keep up with my right side!  It's quite frustrating..but, I'm going to try my very best.  I don't know what to expect with the other parts of the show.  It's all up in the air.  I think Rick wants to put me in some of the numbers..but, I fear that my part will be so minor that they don't really even need me up there!!!  It's such a bad situation that I'm in...and I feel so lost in the middle of all of it.  But...the only way I can make the most of it is to remember that I'm getting free tap lessons!  hahaha.....

On another note, I found a very disturbing comment on my website...  www.marshayuan.com    I haven't actually entered that website since I got this site on alivenotdead...but, today I decided to check it out..and there were actually a few comments in the site.  Someone helped me erase the bad comment but I wanted to share it because I was curious as to why people would write something so negative...

hello, just wanted to say you suck!!!

you can't sing

you can't dance

you look like a cow

you are a terrible artist!!

it's a shame that there are picture's and films and music where you are a part of in this world today, al gore has to look at you and he then will find the source of the world polution!

hopefully you will stop making songs and programs, the world would be so much better. hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahh

ps if you delete this message you are even a bigger fool!!

So, normally I would feel very upset about something like this.  But, I guess everyone has their own opinion on things, right?  Hmm...but, I think only very bitter people would find the time in their lives to write something negative about someone they don't even know.  What do you think?

Sounds like years of repression and hate for him/herself came out in blame for you. I wouldn't take much offense at it. Really I feel sorry for who wrote it.

The person who wrote those comments is OBVIOUSLY mentally sick. I really feel very very sorry for him/her. Let's pray that he/her gets cured and will be loved and able to love.

i had written a very heavily f-word laden comment, then realized that wasn't very appropriate blog-wise, but emotionally, yes, i still feel that way. i am extremely angry at this and i again as always want to just protect you and not let these f*ckers say things to hurt you, but please just don't read them. this was obviously some jealous evil loser with nothing better to do with their life than waste everyone's time and energy...still, i'm SORRY that it happened, that you had to read it, i'm sure you have a team ready to hunt this idiot down...i love you and i am sending you a huge hug and a lot of my attitude to hopefully make you laugh...xoxoo

That is totally not cool what that person wrote on your website. This kind of negativity is more a reflection on that person than on yourself. Don't let it bother you so much! Keep knockin' with the tap and your musical opportunity. Sometimes the opportunity will become better when you put your all into it and those around you see. Make the best of it and I am sure you will be great!

Don't worry about it. I once had a comment on my website: "Your website sucks... your personal photos look terrible... Don't you have better things to do than setting up this useless homepage? I don't think you should put down 20 sth occupations on your page... they are all bullshits!!!!!!!! Shame of Cornell students!!!!!!!!!! Yours very truly, Your dear sch mates from Cornell P.S. We have more comments for you only if you can improve your website a bit." I didn't erase it; it made me grow. Now I just look at it and have a laugh. Good luck on broadway and tap opportunities.
