Such and such.

I was in the school talent show last night -- My friend Brian McGinnis and I did the song Lucky by Jason Mraz on guitar. It was great, we practiced a lot. Our voices sounded fantastic, and other than the fact that the Tech Crew screwed up the amp before we went on, it wasn't bad. Happy March also!

I'm going to be a rockstar, no doubt about it. Last night I got this feel when I was onstage that was just this amazing adrenaline rush, yet nervous, and anxious, but altogether it was great, and I want that again. I've tried twice now to form bands, first one never even got together once, second one.. Well, we're still together, but we don't know what we're doing. So I decided that I am just going to write my own songs, and then see if I can play in coffee shops downtown and stuff, and play those for now. Also, my two musical idols, Kate Nash and Lily Allen both got famous by posting the songs they wrote on myspace. Producers heard them, and wanted to get them recorded. And so on. Now their famous. I'm thinking I'll just post some stuff around Facebook, I'm not much of a MySpace person, but I've got an ancient account, so I'll post some stuff on there too when I eventually write something. Its a start. I'm taking a Guitar class write now, which is also a song-writing class, so theres another step in the direction of being a Rockstar. Also, I'm taking voice lessons also, so that I can get a wider range and a stronger voice. I've got to be able to belt it out good and strong if I'm going to be famous, right? One day. I can't wait.

I just thought of something, what if 10 years from now I look back on this post (if I'm famous) and I think, wow, I totally achieved my dream! I would be so proud. I want everyone to get their dream! That would be great. I'm constantly lost in my daydreams of performing on a big stage, all this amazing music. I've also sort of learned how to play Piano lately, and I recently learned Ukulele also! I plan on learning Trumpet soon, hopefully Banjo, Saxophone, and Violin also. I love instruments. Oh and Bass. I want to learn Bass. I would say Drums too, but those are just SO big and difficult to transport.

Last weekend I saw the Justin Bieber movie with my friend Danii. Before you go and laugh at me, let me tell you, he worked extremely hard to get where he is today. Do you laugh at me because I'm trying to achieve my dream? It was inspiring actually. It gave me ideas of other ways to get my music out there for people to discover. His voice isn't fake either. He can sing very, very well even without the help of a studio like a lot of modern day pop singers. He is actually talented. Just because his voice hasn't fully matured and he has that dumb feathery haircut, and nearly every girl between the ages of 3-17 swoons at the sight of him, doesn't mean he's a totally freak. He's not bad. Give the whole "Lets make fun of Justin Bieber and we can be cool" thing a rest, okay? You don't have to like him, but you also don't have to make fun of him to be 'cool.' Its rude.
