My Obsessions
August 2001
Right now I have an obsession with starting a band. I have it all planned out too. I'm going to learn how to play all the instruments necessary (bass, electric guitar, drums and keyboard), then I'm going to take Music 6 and a pop music composition class (heck, how about a regular composition class as well) and a music electronics class. In the meantime I'm gonna hold auditions at school for people interested in being in my band. Then I'm going to get another group of people together who will handle the "business side". People to help set up gigs and stuff like that. But that's after we get good. Then I'll try and get us a promo cd, then find someone who will pass the cd around...or maybe I'll intern at the MTV studio that's near my house. =)
I'm thinking that the only things that could prevent me from being a rock-pop-reggae superstar is
1) The band will have to split up for college..just as we're getting good
2) I won't find anyone who will be as committed as I am
3) None of us will be any good and people will pay to see to it that we never pick up an instrument again.
Also, my other problem is that I'm supposed to be practicing my French Horn so that I can have a better chance of getting into college (even though I don't want to be a pro horn player...I want to conduct or be a rock legend) But I still need that extra push which the Horn will give me. Grr...that sucks so much. =(
Anyways..that's my obsession. I'm starting to get obsessed with NSYNC, not because I think the guys are HOT....but because they're music is so, so, I don't know how to describe...it's like when I hear my friend Sean imitate Riff-Raff's voice(from Rocky Horror Picture Show) ..I get this feeling inside that it so, excited...but that doesn't entirely describe the feeling. It's, like, I can't get enough of it. I bought their new CD, Celebrity (which I highly recomend), and I listen to Pop over and over and over again...and I never want the song and the emotions I seem to feel when I hear the song to end. Weird...huh? Well if anyone can help me express what I'm feeling feel free to write to me (panda2003@angelfire.com) and I'll post it on the site.
french obsession
Janvier 30, 2002
My somewhat new obsession has become learning french. Parlez vous francais? Oui! well, not really.... I became inspired about 2 months ago after eating dinner at Pierre’s house and wondering what his family was talking about. I have been extremely annoying to anyone who’s had the fate of being near me when I learn a new word or phrase. Usually, it’s Pierre. (sorry dear.) But I’d really love to learn the language, not only to be able to speak to Pierre in his native tongue, but also just to know a language that other people speak. That’s the majorly bad thing about taking Latin. There is really no way to be able to SPEAK fluently. Sure, you can learn all fifty million conjugations of sum, esse, fui....but who really cares? Plus french can be such a beautiful language. Ah, the language of love! LOL, if only I had the time to really learn it...if only my mom would let me take the SMC class....if only....au revoir!
