This is just a place for me to write how I feel; I'm very opinionated and I love to write, sometimes my thoughts and certain situations get to me so much and I need a place to write them all. Life is hard, and everyone needs something to let it all out. This is my something.

Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and star of Hamilton, was dissed for ‘being a baby’ by Democratic National Committee Finance Director Jordan Kaplan in the run-up to a DNC fundraiser last November for the show attended by President Obama, according to hacked emails published on Wikileaks. The Democrats arranged a special show of Hamilton three months after the Broadway phenomenon opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre for over 1,300 supporters with donors paying as much as $10,000 for two seats and a photo with President Obama. But the Wikileaks email exchanges between DNC Finance Director Kaplan and Bobby Schmuck, Special Assistant to the President, reveal DNC-Hamilton tensions two months prior to the event over the fact that Miranda initially did not want to perform on the scheduled fundraiser date of Monday, November 2. As is Broadway convention, Monday is the show’s day off. “They want us to come on 11/1,” Kaplan wrote to Schmuck, seemingly a reference to the Hamilton creative team’s preference to hold the fundraiser on a Sunday. “They called Simas [David Simas, White House Political Director].” After Schmuck had replied, “That’s not going to happen”, Kaplan disparagingly wrote: “Yeah, I think they know its ridiculous – Lin Manuel Miranda isn’t playing on Monday and he is being a baby.” The Hamilton supremo – who recently relinquished duties playing the ten dollar Founding Father and who is currently on vacation- is unlikely to be enamored that the DNC National Finance Chair dubbed him a ‘baby’ for wanting to retain his day off.
