Valour! Compassion! (1995), and of course Jonathan Larson's Rent (1996).

Larson was given the opportunity to develop and stage the musical in the United Kingdom through the Buxton Opera House's "Quest for New Musicals" competition, but he turned it down because he was not happy with the contract.

Larson performed a second reading of Superbia at The Public Theater in December 1991, but the reading didn't go well. The reading was scheduled on the same day as the theater's Christmas party, which started during intermission

Larson's development process for Superbia was immortalized in his autobiographical musical tick, tick … BOOM which premiered at the Jane Street Theater on 5/23/2001 revamped to the three piece…. Which was 1945 days after his death. That can also be written as 5 years 3 months and 28 days (5/13). 5/23/2001 was 111 days before 9/11. It closed on 1/6/2002

It went from a one piece solo to a three-actor piece

Years are getting shorter

Or is this about that we only have so much time and we continue to waste it?

Time will not slow down for anyone, and that is one of the biggest lessons we learn through life. We have to eventually catch up, we are all going at different speeds and that's another problem. People want you to go faster or slow down or come here now in 2024 it isn’t okay to take your time. But how can we when it never slows. If we take our time with something there is a chance that fear and anxiety will take over and tell you that it can never be done and that you’re not gonna achieve your goals, making you feel like you wasted time on your dream as life was passing you by. Or its the reverse, you say you’ll get to your dreams eventually and then run out of time before you ever get the chance to really live.

Battleship is known worldwide as a pencil and paper game which dates from World War I. It was published by various companies as a pad-and-pencil game in the 1930s and was released as a plastic board game by Milton Bradley in 1967. The game has spawned electronic versions, video games, smart device apps and a film.

The game of Battleship is thought to have its origins in the French game L'Attaque played during World War I, although parallels have also been drawn to E. I. Horsman's 1890 game Basilinda,[1]and the game is said to have been played by Russian officers before World War I.[3] In 1907 the game playing was mentioned in the diary of Russian poet Ryurik Ivnev.[4] The first commercial version of the game was Salvo, published in 1931 in the United States by the Starex company. Other versions of the game were printed in the 1930s and 1940s, including the Strathmore Company's Combat: The Battleship Game, Milton Bradley's Broadsides: A Game of Naval Strategy and Maurice L. Freedman's Warfare Naval Combat. Strategy Games Co. produced a version called Wings which pictured planes flying over the Los Angeles Coliseum. All of these early editions of the game consisted of pre-printed pads of paper

Battleship was one of the earliest games to be produced as a computer game, with a version being released for the Z80 Compucolor in 1979.

Battleship directed by Peter Berg was released on 4/3/2012 in Tokyo and on 5/18/20012 in the United States. Filming took place on the USS Missouri and in Hawaii. “A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals.”

Can't fight it, like taxes

"Can't fight it" means that someone is unable to resist or oppose something, implying that they have no choice but to accept a situation or feeling because they cannot control it; essentially, it means "it's inevitable" or "I have to give in."

At least it happens only once in your life

They're singing, "Happy Birthday"

Happy Birthday To You published in 1893 by Patty Hill and Mildred J Hill. The song is in the public domain in the United States and the European Union. Warner Chappell Music had previously claimed copyright on the song in the US and collected licensing fees for its use; in 2015, the copyright claim was declared invalid and Warner Chappell agreed to pay back $14 million in licensing fees.Warner claimed that the United States copyright would not expire until 2030 and that unauthorized public performances of the song were illegal unless royalties were paid. In February 2010, the royalty for a single use was US$700.[12] By one estimate, the song is the highest-earning single song in history

One of the most famous performances of "Happy Birthday to You" was Marilyn Monroe's rendition to US President John F. Kennedy on May 19 1962 at a gala held at Madison Square Garden for his 45th birthday, 10 days before the actual date (May 29).

She continued the song with a snippet from the classic 1938 song, "Thanks for the Memory", for which she had written new lyrics specifically aimed at Kennedy.

Thanks, Mr. President

For all the things you've done

The battles that you've won

The way you deal with U.S. Steel

And our problems by the ton

We thank you so much

-Monroe attended the event during the production of Something's Got to Give, resulting in her receiving a hand-delivered note stating that she had violated her contract with 20th Century Fox and eventual firing in June 1962 this would be one of the last major public appearances by Monroe before her death on 8/4/1962 which was 77 days later.

*Something’s Gotta Give is a song by LeAnn Rimes and it was released as the 3rd single from her 7th studio album. It was released on 12/12/2005. The label used was Asylum-club.

“Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country” is a line from John F. Kennedy's inaugural address, which he gave on January 20, 1961. The line is an example of antithesis, a rhetorical device that uses parallel opposition to set off two ideas. Kennedy's speech was a sensation, inspiring Americans to contribute to the public good and civic action. He believed that democracy thrives when citizens contribute their talents, and that leaders should inspire citizens to sacrifice. The speech also included a call for peace, a celebration of freedom, and a warning against nuclear threats

The first Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was held in August 1995 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. The show was the brainchild of Leslie Wexner and Ed Razek, the CMO of L Brands at the time. (*JL was 34 at the time of this first show)

The show was a risky move for the retailer, but it paid off and helped make lingerie mainstream. The show became a yearly event that was one of the most-watched and attended off-calendar fashion events. The show's production value increased over the years, with bigger wings, more expensive lingerie, and more famous musical acts. Some of the most famous models to walk the show include Tyra Banks, Gisele Bündchen, and Heidi Klum.

The show was discontinued in 2019 due to concerns about a lack of diversity, declining ratings, and public criticism. However, the show returned in 2024

TS performed at the 2013 (18th show) and the 2014 (19th show) VS Fashion Show.

In 2002, Victoria's Secret announced the launch of PINK, a brand that was aimed at teenagers and young women. Starting in 2008, Victoria's Secret expanded internationally, with retail outlets within international airports, franchises in major cities overseas, and company-owned stores throughout Canada and the UK.

Try one more approach before you're out of gas

the average price of gas in 1990 was $1.15

On December 29, 1990, a gas line ruptured in a building in Brooklyn, causing a powerful explosion that injured 14 people and left at least 16 families unable to stay in their apartments.

On March 13, 1990, a liquid propane line exploded in North Blenheim, New York, causing a fire disaster

The Piper Alpha disaster in the North Sea on July 6 & 7, 1988 is considered one of the worst oil rig disasters in history: 167 people died, including 165 crew members and two rescuers.A communication error led to a gas leak and fire that damaged the control room and made it impossible to put out the flames. The automatic fire-fighting systems had also been turned off during maintenance.At the time of the disaster, the Piper Alpha was the world's largest oil producer and accounted for about 10% of North Sea oil and gas production. One of the oil fields was called Tartan (Like the TS in yellow Tartan plaid?)

Monica was also known as “Fat Monica”..The Friends episode where Monica is still fat is titled "The One That Could Have Been, Part 1" and aired on February 17, 2000. In this non-canon episode, the gang imagines what their lives would be like if things had gone differently.Monica is still fat, and the episode also features Joey still on Days of our Lives, Ross and Carol still married, and Chandler a comic writer

In another episode, "The One With All the Thanksgivings", which aired on 11/19/1998. Monica gets revenge on Chandler for making fun of her weight by losing weight and becoming attractive. In this episode, Monica and Rachel are in high school and Monica is overweight. Chandler overhears Monica and Rachel and tells Monica she should become a chef. Monica later loses weight and Chandler finds her attractive.

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell Ahhh

Robert James a sculptor in the UK has made a Peter Pan and Tinkerbell bronze garden statue (thanK you aIMee)

Tinkerbell- At first only a supporting character described by her creator as "a common fairy", her animated incarnation was a hit and has since become a widely recognized unofficial mascot of The Walt Disney Company, next to the official mascot of Mickey Mouse.

The extremes in her personality are explained in the story by the fact that a fairy's size prevents her from holding more than one feeling at a time, so when she is angry she has no counterbalancing compassion

June 2006- August 2019: In the Andy Weir and Sarah Andersen Cheshire Crossing series, Tinker "Tink" Bell firstly appears alongside Peter as they attempt to rescue captured fairies from Captain Hook and the Wicked Witch of the West, with Peter being captured and Tink fleeing to get Wendy's help, alongside that of Dorothy Gale and Alice Liddell, providing the latter two with fairy dust to fly. Later, after Dorothy is captured, Tink frees her and goes to Castle West to warn Jack the Knave of Hearts of the incoming flying pirate ship, preventing the Cheshire Cat from eating her when they attempt to do so. Later, after the Witch defeats Mary Poppins in battle, Tink lends Poppins her power against the Witch as Poppins utters "Say hello to my little friend!", leaving them evenly matched. Later, after the Witch has been defeated, Alice places Peter (now shrunken to Tink's size and having matured due to consuming size-altering berries in Wonderland) next to Tink, having recognized her as being in love with him, and after being complimented by Peter as to her appearance, the pair kiss.

A bronze sculpture of Tinker Bell by London artist Diarmuid Byron O'Connor was commissioned by Great Ormond Street Hospital, to whom Barrie bequeathed the copyright to the character, to be added to his original four-foot statue of Peter Pan, wresting a thimble from Peter's finger. The figure has a 9.5 in (240 mm) wingspan and is 7 in (180 mm) tall. She was unveiled on 29 September 2005 by Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

Which way to Never Never Land? Ahhh

Neverland is a fictional island featured in the works of J. M. Barrieand those based on them. It is an imaginary faraway place where Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, the Lost Boys, and some other imaginary beings and creatures live.

its best-known resident famously refused to grow up. Thus, the term is often used as a metaphor for eternal childhood(and childishness), as well as immortality and escapism.

The concept was first introduced as "the Never Never Land" in Barrie's West End theatre play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, first staged in 1904. In the earliest drafts of the play, the island was called "Peter's Never Never Never Land", a name possibly influenced by the 'Never Never', a contemporary term for outback Australia. In the 1928 published version of the play's script, the name was shortened to "the Never Land". Although the caption to one of F. D. Bedford's illustrations also calls it "The Never Never Land", Barrie's 1911 novelisation Peter and Wendy simply refers to it as "the Neverland," and its many variations "the Neverlands

The novel says that the Neverlands are compact enough that adventures are never far between, and that a map of a child's mind would resemble a map of Neverland, with no boundaries at all

Peter—who is described as saying "anything that came into his head"—tells Wendy the way to Neverland is "second to the right, and straight on till morning." In the novel, the children are said to have found the island only because it was "out looking for them."

In Barrie's Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906), a proto-version of Neverland, located in the Serpentine in Kensington Gardens, is called the Birds' Island, where baby Peter reaches by flight, or by sailing in a paper boat or thrush's nest.

Walt Disney's 1953 Peter Pan adds a "star" to Peter's directions: "second star to the right, and straight on till morning."

In Peter Pan in Scarlet (2006), by Geraldine McCaughrean, Neverland is located in waters known as the 'Sea of One Thousand Islands'. The children get to the island by flying on a road called the High Way

In Peter David's 2009 novel Tigerheart, Neverland is renamed the Anyplace and is described as being both a physical place and a dream land where human adults and children go when they dream. Additionally, there is a location called the Noplace which is cold and devoid of colour where people in a coma and those who are "lost" live.

In the 2011 miniseries Neverland, inspired by Barrie's works, the titular place is said to be another planet existing at the centre of the universe. It is accessible only via a magic portal generated by a strange sphere. In the 2015 American film Pan, Neverland is a floating island in a sky-like dimension.

The passage of time in Neverland is similarly ambiguous. The novel Peter and Wendy mentions that in Neverland there are many more suns and moons than on the Mainland, making time difficult to track.[2] One way to tell the time is to find the crocodile, and wait until the clock inside it strikes the hour.[3] Although Neverland is widely thought of as a place where children don't grow up, Barrie wrote that the Lost Boys eventually do grow up, having to leave, and fairies there lived typically short lifespans. [citation needed]

In Peter Pan in Scarlet (2006), by Geraldine McCaughrean, time freezes as soon as the children arrived in Neverland. In the 2011 miniseries Neverland, in which Neverland is said to be another planet entirely, time has frozen due to external cosmic forces converging on the planet, preventing anyone living there from ageing

Emerald City's gone to hell

Since the wizard

Located in the center of the Land of Oz, the Emerald City is the end of the famous yellow brick road, which begins in Munchkin Country. In the center of the Emerald City is the Royal Palace of Oz. The Oz books generally describe the city as being built of green glass, emeralds, and other jewels.

In the earlier books, it was described as completely green. However, in later works, green was merely the predominant color while buildings were also decorated with gold, and people added other colors to their costumes

Baum may have been partly inspired in his creation of the Emerald City by the World Columbian Exposition of 1893, nicknamed the "White City,"[10] which he visited frequently, having moved to Chicago in anticipation of the event. W. W. Denslow, who illustrated the original Oz book, also incorporated elements that may have been inspired by the White City.[11] Denslow was familiar with the exposition as he had been hired to sketch and document it for the Chicago Times. Likewise, the quick building of the real-life White City, in less than a year, may have contributed to the quick construction of the Emerald City in the first book.[4]

Others believe Baum may have based his description of the city on the Hotel del Coronado, where he supposedly did much of his writing

Scholars who interpret The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as a political allegory see the Emerald City as a metaphor for Washington, D.C., and unsecured "greenback" paper money. In this reading of the book, the city's illusory splendor and value are compared with the value of fiat money, which also has value only because of a shared illusion or convention. Here, Dorothy gains entry to the Emerald City (Washington, D.C.) wearing the witch's silver slippers (the silver standard) and taking the Yellow Brick Road (the gold standard). There, she met the Wizard (President William McKinley), whose power was eventually revealed to be an illusion.

More recently it has been speculated that the name “Emerald City” may be referring to the city of Seattle, Washington. This is incorrect as the American city gained its “Emerald City” nickname in 1982,[16] over 80 years after the publication of Baum's first book

Seattle is known for:

Texas Twister (I got stuck upside down on this ride in 2007 I was 14.) was a HUSS Top Spin located at the now defunct Six Flags Worlds of Adventure park in Aurora, Ohio. The ride would operate from 1993 to September 16, 2007 (TS was on tour with Brad Paisely they did not have a show this day.) when the park closed altogether. In 1993, Funtime Incorporated, the owners of the Geauga Lake park, opened a first-of-its-kind attraction in North America. This attraction would be a Top Spin manufactured by the German company HUSS. The ride would continue to operate with the same name throughout the parks history. It would operate throughout the Premier Parks, Six Flags, and Cedar Fair ownerships of the park. On September 21, 2007 (Ts was with Brad Paisely and Rodney Atkins in Tampa, FL @ the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union), Cedar Fair announced the ride's park would close, only operating the water park on the opposing side of the lake. Texas Twister was not demolished, but relocated to California's Great America where it would open as Firefall for the 2008 season. The ride would later be closed and demolished on October 30, 2016 due to Top Spins being discontinued.

Ownership of the park transitioned several times, beginning with the city of Santa Clara's acquisition from Marriott in 1985. It was then sold to Kings Entertainment Company in 1989, while Santa Clara retained ownership of the land. Paramount Parks acquired the park in 1992, followed by Cedar Fair in 2006. Santa Clara eventually sold the land occupied by the park to then-owner Cedar Fair in 2019, who then sold it to Prologis in 2022. While its current owner, Six Flags, plans to eventually close the park by 2033, the land rental agreement is a six-year lease through 2028 that gives Prologis the option of extending it another five years

Scream - Troy Boulton HSM3

“Voices in my head tell me they know best

Got me on the edge

They're pushin', pushin', they're pushin'

I know they've got a plan, but the ball's in my hands

I'm drivin', fightin' inside a world that's upside down”

****Diana, Princess of Wales's landmine walk in Angola on 15 January 1997. It had a far-reaching impact, triggering a worldwide conversation that saw a turning point in the fight against the lethal devices

Princess Diana's last official engagement before her death was a visit to Bosnia on August 8-10, 1997 to meet with landmine victims. The trip was part of her campaign to raise awareness of landmines and their devastating effects on people. She would die in Paris 21 days later. Diana's visit to Bosnia led to increased funding for demining projects and the creation of the Ottawa Treaty in 1999. The treaty aimed to eliminate the use, production, stockpiling, and transfer of anti-personnel landmines.

The world is calling Ahhhh

The world is calling" means that there is a significant need or opportunity in the world that is urging you to take action, to contribute your skills or talents to make a positive impact, often implying a sense of purpose or a "calling" to engage with larger issues beyond yourself.

A calling is a pull towards something you feel uniquely qualified to do and enjoy passionately.
