Audience of One

Well, first of all anyone who doesn't know where I got that title from better go listen to the new Rise Against CD, "Appeal to Reason." The band is amazing, and the CD is just as amazing. Second, in case you haven't noticed, I haven't updated this blog since it didn't count for points in class anymore. It still doesn't cound for anything anymore, but I decided to update it a little.

Over the summer I was in the musicals Godspell and Fame. Godspell was lots of fun all around, and Fame was equally as exciting. I also learned how to play "Angry Chair," by Alice in Chains on guitar (Insert excitement here.).

I also narrowed down what I want to do with my life. I want to either be a screenwritter, singer in a band or a proffesional actor. I want to be a screenwritter because I love writting and I love acting, so it would be awesome if I could help write scripts for a T.V. show, or even a movie! I want to be a singer simply because I love to sing. I've been singing for the past four years and I love it. I listen to all sorts of music all the time. Music is one of the only things I can listen to without falling asleep, and there is music for just about every mood you are in.

Well, I don't really know why I actually decided to update this. Maybe to see if anyone still looks on it, maybe another reason. Oh well, be back... well I don't really know when I'll be back.

Hello to whoever is taking the time to read this. The time I am writing this blog at eleven forty-three at night. This is the first blog that I have posted in a while and I actually feel good writing about it. I don't care whether there are five hundred people reading this, or if there are even five reading this, I just like having that feeling that someone is listening. I love writing. It's one of the few things I can do that people actually, or at least claim they do, enjoy. For the past four or five months I haven't really had anything thats made me want to write any blogs at all. I don't know what it is but I had the urge to write the very same blog that you are reading right now. I feel the happiest I've ever felt since around last October. I hope that at least one person is reading this, realizing that I haven't fizzled out of the blogging community yet. Give me a little feedback if you did take the time to read this. It's a big world out there and you have to make a lot of noise to be heard. 

Twelfth Night, Act II

So far in this story I like the character of The Fool. He is a smart, but funny man. He is usually getting into trouble, but is somehow able to outwit anyone. I think that I am most like Orsino or the Fool. Orsino is stuck liking someone,, and that someone doesn’t in the least bit like you back, but ends up having someone else like him, and he doesn’t even know it. I think I am like the Fool because I am always getting into trouble, but I can somehow find a way to get myself out of it. The only difficult part of the book for me is some of the phrases seem a little strange, and I have no idea what they mean. I think later on in the book The Fool will be put on trial, and possibly killed for working at both castles. I also think that Viola will not tell Orsino that she is a girl, and Orsino will finally merry Olivia. I thought Act II was a little better then Act I. It was funnier, and had more interesting things happening. The part with Malvolio getting the fake love note from Olivia is going to be funny as the story goes on. I can’t figure out what is going to happen with the Orsino, Olivia and Viola/Cesario love triangle. In most normal stories you would figure that Viola would tell Orsino she’s a girl and she loves him, and they would live happily ever after, but Twelfth Night is one of the farthest things from any normal story I’ve read. My favorite character’s in the book so far are the Fool and Sir Toby. I like the Fool because he is a very witty, funny person. Sir Toby is probably one of the funniest people in the story. He is always drunk, and always trying to seem intelligent and respectable. He is very entertaining and is a very big idiot.  

ADHD Research

I think the research that Mark Rapport did on ADHD has a plus side and a negative side to it. I still do not understand how letting the children move around and not pay attention in class is going to get them to learn more. It may stimulate a part of the brain that helps with memory, but they are still not paying attention enough to use it. 

I do have to applaud the man though. He did spend four years putting his project together, so he must have a pretty good idea of what he's doing. I may just be confused about most of this because I do not understand a lot of what he is talking about when he mentions stimulating the parts of the brain that hold short term and long term memory.

A Fresh Start (Champagne Supernova)

Well, this is my first blog post since god knows when. I know there aren't very many people that read this anyway, but I think it's still worth it even if I can get one person to read it. I've learned a lot since the last time I posted a blog. I learned that a person can't be lazy in order to get what they want. I have been being very lazy these past few months and it's come back to bite me in a place you don't wanna get bit in. Especially when it involves passing in school. I learned that I can easily be getting A's in just about every class of mine, I just can't push myself to really try to, I just go for the bare minimum, which is a very bad habit.
I also learned that everyone isn't going to want to be your friend, but it's better to be on good terms with them. If everyone you weren't friends with hated you, what do you think would happen when you run into them thirty years from now, they would say hi, give you a hug and pretend you two are best friends? Not at all, you would probably be lucky if they even looked your way. I have gained and lost... and gained... and lost a few more friends, but it's not as if I'm gonna start an I hate so and so club(I wonder if that's ever happened before... well besides all the we hate George Bush clubs...).
The last thing I learned was just how great music was. Especially bands like Oasis(hence the title), The Beatles, Billy Joel and Elton John were/are. Most of that music can pretty much relate to any mood you are in.
Well it's time for me to make my dramatic exit.... well.... goodbye.
