What makes a real musician:
•The ability to read music.
•The ability to sing or play your instrument.
•The ability to keep a steady beat WITHOUT having to use a click track.
•Knowing when to NOT play or sing; also known as being a tasteful musician.
•The ability to accept that ONE style of music is NOT the ONLY style of music.
•The ability to set thier pride aside and admit that they might not know as much about music thoeory as they thought they did.
•The ability to appreciate and respect everyone’s opinion about music
*That does not necessarily mean that you have to agree with them, it just means that you should be respectful towards others
What kids today think makes a real musician:
•The ability to use Garage Band to their advantage.
•The ability to argue their opinions about music just for the sake of arguing.
•The ability to interrupt a phenominally talented young artist jus so you can fit your personal input into her award acceptance speech.
Like I said earlier, you do not have to agree with me, but seeing how this is MY blog, you should at least BE RESPECTFUL.
My math class is acutally one of my most fun classes. Our teacher is hilarious and so are most of the people in the class. One of the guys in my math class, Tom, is probably the funniest guy in there. Today the class was joking about how our math teacher “probably makes her kids do trig problems before they go to the bathroom and before they eat their meals.” Well, Tom then says, “Could you imagine how cool that would be if there was electronic keypads that you could mount on every door of your house and instead of using a key, you would have to solve a trig problem to get in the room. No criminals would ever break into my house, cause we all know how STUPID criminals are.” That really made me laugh.
That would actually be kind of awesome though.
and Sharon just wasted half a tank of gas drivenh an hour away to work to find out that the stupid new secretary didn’t have us on the schedule for today and then tried to convince us that we were supposed to be off this weekend. I definitely checked my paper schedule last night and we were scheduled for this weekend. >[ pissed.
That is the lyrics to our Glow In The Park Parade song, “Let It Shine,” at Six Fags and I literally have sang it every day since April, no joke. I actually like it. The lyrics were written by Marcy Heisler and the music was written and produced by Cirque du Soleil composer, Benoit Jutras.
I know some of my friends have been asking me for the words to this song (most of the Internet sources for these lyrics are wrong, but I guarantee you that these are accurate.) So, here you go… the full out legitamately 100% correct lyrics.
Now as the sun bids a gentle goodnight,
ribbons of gold give way to shadow.
Come see the world in a different light
never dreamed before.
As the stars take their wing,
daylight surrenders
to the moon divine.
Now comes the glow that burns deep from within.
Time to let it shine.
Look around, stars take wing once hidden safe from view.
Now, out of the blue
see the world in a brand new way
you can only imagine.
Take a ride beyond imagination,
far beyond where the night has gone,
to a sunrise of your own creation.
Open your eyes and feel the skies
dawning, dawning.
Shimmering splendors are at your command.
Feel the surprise, reveal the wonder.
Breathless amazments are right here at hand,
never dreamed before.
Be amazed, be amused.
Oh what elation
can be yours and mine.
Now comes the glow that burns deep from within.
Time to let it shine.
See the world in a brand new way.
Spread your wings of imagination.
Take the night towards a brand new day.
It’s dawning, so let it shine!
Take a ride beyond imagination,
far beyond where the night has gone,
to a sunrise of your own creation.
Open your eyes and feel the skies
dawning, dawning.
The other day in choir, we got in groups of 10 and wrote down where we thought each other in our group would be in 10 years. What my group said about me:
“•Football player
•singer
•working at a clothing store
•hot dog eating contest champion
•in jail for murder
•on tour with Kiss-yes they’re still living
•growing old and hating technology
•the lady with 56 cats
•In an action movie playing a part like Wonder Woman or a spy agent”
Some of these responses are very interesting, but my favorite is the one about Wonder Woman. =]
Today was Warped Tour and I consider it a holiday. It was absolutely awesome! I got to meet Underoath again for the 683rd time and they were sweet as usual. We named New Medicine’s shark balloon Oliver and signed him and talked about how it’s Shark Week. They were cool dudes. I had my redhead fix for this whole entire week (I love redheads). My friend Teddy got me the cutest Grateful Dead bear named Manor Downs and a single red rose for my birthday. All Time Low, Attack! Attack!, The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, and 3OH!3 all kicked butt. And to end my perfectly wonderful day, Sharon, Kayla, Sean, and myself went to Sonic with mine and Sharon’s husbands, Tom Butler and Brian Porter and talked about actually having our barbeque that has been in the making for about 6 years and other old stories and memories of our friendship.
I love my life and my friends! =]
peace out Warped ‘09

Me and sharon were just playing our song lyrics game and the conversation went like this..
Sharon: “Well I think you’re Trashed and Scattered”
Me: “Yeah, on my Brompton Cocktail, that is”
Sharon (while laughing): “Oh, Dear God”
Dumb. All of it. Dumb. I was hired as a character 3 months ago and I looked good enough in it to get approved then so I don’t see why they changed their minds halfway through the season. I’m actually quite upset about this. I have a personal relationship with my character and today I feel like the management is trying to rip us apart. I miss my fuzzy. =[
