So much has happened in a month. It's hard to describe.
But I think the most important thing to happen in my month is.....
THE DARK KNIGHT CAME OUT!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it really did. Now I am complete. I knew something was missing in my life before Heath Ledger showed the world his Joker performance, I just didn't know what it was.
Yup. My life is now complete. I will spend the rest of my days in peace and happiness.
Actually, if you take all those this's, you find my life at the current moment. It's intense, exciting, making my eyes hurt, totally sucking, and stupid.
But I wouldn't trade it for anything.
That is stupid.
Yeah, maybe, but guess what?
With all this intensity, excitement, eyehurtiness, suckiness, and stupidity, I'm happy.
Why am I so happy? I will TELL you why I'm happy.
That is why I'm happy.
I have discovered Rhett and Link.
Ha! I'm guessing you were all expecting something really epic and heart wrenching. Something that would reveal something about this little weirdo blogging at 3 A.M. Something intense, exciting, eye-hurting, sucky, and stupid. But nope. All you get is Rhett and Link. Which, in my (not so) humble opinion, is pretty incredible.
Actually, I'm doing pretty well in life right now. Turbulence? Possibly. But, I am happy, and I am surviving... which.... couldn't have been said a month or so ago... improvement? I think so.
I had NO idea it was the Fourth of July until Ryan asked me how my Fourth of July was going.
....
"Uh... Today's the Fourth of July?"
Needless to say, it was pretty bizarre and it would have been embarrassing if I was embarrassed by that kind of nonsense. I'm not. It takes a lot to actually make me feel stupid. I'm used to the feeling. It's like trying to make an anchor sink lower. I guess you could, but you'd have to dig a hole for it first and really? That's a lot of work.
I've come to believe that every day is a holiday in my household. since that's the case, who needs to have a specific day of fun and joy?
No one.
In protest, I am writing in black letters, just to show all the people who actually celebrate and have fun in life that I do not need it. So there.
In life we are continuously confronted by 'what if' situations.
What if I do that? And then there's always the 'What if I don't do that?' situations.
I guess God only knows, but when you hit that point, it can be hard to decide what to do. No one likes regret. No one likes feeling like they missed out. No one likes knowing that they blew it. No one likes barfing at 2 A.M. because they drank one too many beers.
To solve these many 'what if' problems, I suggest you 1) listen to me and don't do anything I wouldn't do or 2) read your Bible and don't do anything that it warns you against or 3) if you don't have a Bible go get one and follow steps 1 and 2.
You will live long and prosperously and you probably won't ever be up at 2 A.M. puking into a toilet bowl because you were stupid and went through on a 'what if' statement.
That is my preachy message for the day, tailored to make you cringe and wonder what this girl is smoking.
And this is my picture for you, of me. Because if you listen to me, you can be like me, and I just want to make sure my readers know what they have to look forward to. It's pretty incredible.
And all the blogging that I am doing is being done very late at night and/or very early in the morning. So I'm just warning you that you probably aren't getting an overly adequate representation for how I am doing and who I am. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
That, which you see above this text, is the fruits of my summer so far.
Yes, it promises to be a good one, filled with epic moments and many hours of (halfway) wasted time.
This video represents everything I have worked for: acting, editing, writing, directing, story boarding, costuming, set design, and just being cool.
They never cease to amaze me. Actually, what amazes me is not the actual gimmick. It's a gimmick (gimmick = lame) but it's the fact that everyone buys into it.
What is to make me think that by using a 'D'Andrea Pro-Grip' guitar pick is going to make me play like a pro?
Because it simply says 'pro' on it I guess.
No one would buy a pick that said 'D'Andrea Amateur-Grip'. Who wants to play like an amateur? (No one).
Words like 'pro', 'master', and 'best' seem to be used quite a bit. We're constantly being compared to the pros. Which, to me, is kind of unfair because no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to play the guitar like (what I consider to be) a pro. I may get good. I may get very good. But I won't be a pro.
To me the definition of 'pro' is someone who can make a good living doing whatever it is.
Mhm... No matter how hard I try or how 'pro' my guitar pick is, I won't be able to make a good living doing it. Not an issue of low self-esteem. Just being honest. There are plenty of things I could make a good living at, but guitaring is not one of them.
But the companies will still be telling me I can do it, as long as I use their 'pro' guitar pick.
I am a young Christian trying to survive in this crazy world, hoping to grow into a well adjusted individual. I have big dreams, big ideas, and big plans. Doesn't everyone? I'm banking on simply having more persistence and the like than most. Funny thing is, I don't come across that way. But, anyone who knows me know that I don't give up too well if I feel it's worth fighting for, and I feel life and dreams are worth fighting for. Soooo..... Tally Ho!
