Connected.
How come we all feel so separated, but really, we are all so connected?

I find it weird how everyone in the world is literally only separated by connections. Like how I am only, like, four degree's away from Madonna. My Uncle's wife, taught Madonna's daughter to ride a horse when they lived in NYC. Weird.

I was browsing someone's myspace today and saw that they had been friends with one of my friends. Weirdd. I would never think that they knew each other either. And how they are friends with this guy that went to the same college I was going to attend.

Who knows what that is all about? And when I watched this old video from Portland Pride in 2006, I was watching and noticed Josh's ex boyfriend in the video. I pause it and look closer and there is Josh. We were connected already-two years ago. Strange, strange, strange. Is it a small world after all?

There is a JCPenney's "ONE DAY ONLY SALE" commercial on television right now. I can't help but to laugh every time I see one. Do you notice their "ONE DAY ONLY SALE"'s happen, like, twice a month.

On other notes. Thank whatever higher being there is for having Obama win. I got really emotional when I saw him make his speech. Probably because I feel like he has all the will and power to turn America around.

I get afraid and doubt my ability sometimes. When I write songs I wonder how that song is going to turn out to be innovative. How that song will stick out from the millions of other songs out there preaching about similar things. I truly believe it is a combination of the artist and the song that creates the "success" a song has. We can get more into that another time. How do we become revolutionary artists of our time?

I feel like I should share my music more publicly, but there will always be that little flicker of not wanting to face judgement. I can lead my "no judge" revolution, but that doesn't mean that everyone in my life is going to hop on board. I recognize the mere stares that people give me when I mention my artistry. I guess it fuels people like me to do better.

Fall is ending, Winter is beginning. Christmas is creeping up. Sadly as I have gotten older, I lose my interest in holidays as a whole. Don't get me wrong, I do still love them, but when you are little, holidays are a flag point in a year. Sometime when you can get gifts ect. When you get older you can kind of provide for yourself. But I do love that Christmas cheer.

I wrote a song, primarily about parties in this sense, but I can relate it to this issue. Shouldn't everyday be a holiday? A celebration? Why wait for this certain date for things to be any different than they should be today? I wrote a song on how people get so distracted with spending 500k on these lavish parties. At the end of the night, what do you usually say you had the most fun doing? Usually spending time with the people and dancing/singing/any other musical related activity. It's the fundamentals. Come the nights end, are you gonna really appreciate where you had the party, what you ate, what everyone was wearing? Probably not.
