The Phantom of the Maestro Is There…

…Inside My Mind.

If you have noticed, Maestro hasn’t been making as many appearances as he used to. His existence has been becoming less…well, existent! And as you all know, he is our Hero…our superfluous hero, but a hero nonetheless. Well, he used to be anyway.

But lately his life has been more grim. He has been more depressed…and he is not quite the hero he once was. He hides in his home, with his tormented mind as his only company. Maestro once composed his life happily, as any maestro should. But now it is composed with dismay. Maestro is no more, all that remains is but a phantom of his former self.

That’s right. You are now delving into the adventures of the Phantom of the Maestro. Granted its not original in any way, but it matches our Hero’s current mood. Or should I say our Anti-hero. But anyway, tis beside the point.

So it is dreary Tuesday night and the Phantom is not particularly happy. But you knew that. Certainly the weather hasn’t been helping his mood any. (Here in Erie there is usually a few feet of snow on the ground at this point. Lately the temperature has been getting up to 60 degrees, so Erie is covered with melted dirty snow and rain – not fun.) However, those things aside, our Anti-hero did have something positive happen today.

It’s no Don Juan, but the Phantom will be appearing in Brigadoon this March. Now, originally he wasn’t too thrilled about the role he was given. It seemed he only had one line and only appeared in one scene. Well, he still only appears in one scene, but as it turns out he actually has a fair amount of lines. And on top of that, the Phantom will also play a random villager in the remainder of the musical. And that means he has more to do thourghout the performance, which is good. Sure it’s more work, but the Phantom loves the theatre…as I am sure you already knew.

Aside from that, it was a fairly bland day. As you can guess, our Anti-hero was not all that happy to return to school. So now that he has, he isn’t incredibly…enthusiastic, perhaps? Of course, upon looking at the Phantom’s current grades, let us all hope his enthusiasm returns very soon! The Phantom has many other things on his mind, but for now I would rather not touch upon them. So until I actually do save the world from my own abysmal mind…
