Song Writing.

I don't know why, but I am having the toughest time trying to write a song. Just one. Just so I can say, "Why yes, I have indeed written a song!" But I just can't. I bought myself a little Moleskin leather bound writing journal, in hopes that it would inspire me, and also because I've seen so many poets walking around with one. I can't remember if I already wrote about the Poetry Slam I went to last week, but in case I didn't, here it is. I went to a Poetry Slam last week. Fancy that! It was great. So much truth in spoken word. It was like music, minus the change in pitch and instruments or really even singing. But it was beautiful. I loved it so much. Anyways, it inspired me a lot, so I bought the little Moleskin at Target, and I've been writing (or at least attempting to) poetry. None of them rhyme. Well, one does, but its four lines and it is awful! I don't know why its so difficult for me to write songs. My friend Brian can whip out songs in minutes. And they're great! He wrote one about Diet Coke in class the other day, and it was completely stuck in my head ALL DAY. Then these other kids in my guitar class presented a song they had written for the class, and they had a couple guitars, and a drum, and it sounded SO great and I was thinking to myself the whole time, "I would totally buy this on iTunes." I want it. I just don't get it. These performers were Freshman. They wrote this killer song that could become really, really popular. I guess try and fail, and repeat are the steps I'll have to take to finally get a song. One day though. Maybe. Why would I have such a big dream to be a rockstar if I couldn't write songs?! For crying out loud.

I have a couple quotes that are my favorite Office quotes that I'd like to share also. Seeing as its Thursday night and The Office is on tonight.
