Chuck Taylors and The Pillows

Alright, even though if there is any of you out there, there's only a few, I feel I should apologize to you. I haven't blogged in over a month. As I said before, I love Christmas time, I wish I could of shared every moment of it with you, but I also liked keeping some of my joy to myself, I'm a selfish person that way. I did have a great Christmas though. As I said I had a performance with the show choir. We went to a nursing home in Charleston. It was a lot of fun. I tell ya', I have doubts sometimes about my dream, of being a singer-songwriter, but when we sang to them and saw them so happy, all my doubts just faded away. I don't think I've told you that, have I, my dream that is. Yeah, I want to be a singer-songwriter when I grow up, in a few years I mean. I plan to take it a step further this year, its kinda my new year resolution, to start a true music career, however one does that. I plan on writing songs, I've done that before, but this time I plan to go to my friends, my very musical friends and my very poetic friends. If I can help out, throwing out my ideas every once in a while, I can be considered a song writer, and maybe, along the way, I can pick up a few thing and become a good songwriter by myself. Anyway, back to Christmas, after the performance at the old folks home, we prepared for a performance at my high school, a talent show. I did a solo comedy act that me and my friend Rachel thought up. We thought it was hilarious, the crowd didn't. In this act, I kinda made fun of the major winter holidays, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kawnzaa, and Winter Solstice. The crowd yelled things at me like, "Just shut up," and "Turn his mike off." Nothing like that has ever happened to me. A couple of thoughts went through my head, first "Am I so not funny that people have to be rude to me," and second "Maybe I'm just so unpopular here that they feel they have to yell those things, I can't wait until I perform for people who want to see me, all the cheering, its truly a dream right now. " Talk about making you doubt your dream, I really didn't know what to do. Should I try to come up with another dream and find a job in something practial, did this one performance really scar me that bad. I decided I wasn't that kind of person, I believe in myself, I will continue my journey into stardom. I am glad this happened to me now, before I graduate, this can't be my only bad performance or bad crowd. I now will be much more ready then I was before. Thank you rude people of Scott High School, you were my first bad crowd, thank you so much, remember to watch for me on MTV or in that hit movie you see, feel free to boo as loud as you want, I'll be ready. Later that day, we went to the local retirement homes, my Christmas spirit boosted back up, and my dream reassured. I love the nice old people for helping me every time. If I can't ever achieve my dream, I think I just want to tour retirement homes and feel good about myself all the time. Finally, Christmas was approaching. I made all my close friends pillows, because I don't have as much money this year as I had last year. I got a lot of good presents. From my friend Kayla, I got Hillary Duff stuff, its in my room right now, I love Hillary Duff, where she is now is where I want to be. From my brother, I got "The Sims: Makin' Magic" "The Sims" is one of my favorite games. From my mom, I got a lot of clothes and stuff, a Hillary Duff CD, and a Dance Dance revolution game, its becoming one of my new favorites. From my grandma, I got a lot of the same stuff from as from my mom, and "Final Fantasy X-2", Final Fantasy is my favorite game series, next to Kingdom Hearts. Well, that about it, work's work, school's school, and I'm me. Later Days.
