Haven't written in awhile, but this feeling needs to be written down...
Just came back from hanging out with a friend and her friend, and the two of them just gave me this feeling of warmth all over. it was an overwhelming feeling of what the power of love can do to people. Being around this person helps me feel better.... O this has been a good weekend, walking along familar roads...it has helped me alot. =) Now it is time to pack up, see you back in Montreal! :: +Memory :: Share :: 6 replies :: Reply "I just ran into a few someones today
Someones that I never really knew And I used to think how I had them all so figured out But no, none of it's true cuz I never knew you And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you For my head, for my heart, for its true..." Fog blankets the city, and I am here sitting infront of the window that opens my eyes to the world. I sit here and cry, not really sure why. Im currently listening to music, that is linked to the only show that has inspired me to dream, to take chances, to stay true to my roots, to look deep inside myself and rip out all the hurt, all the pain, all the (blunt) crap I have ever endured in my life. In 7 days, I will be given a new chance from God, to "start over", to make fresh and new all that was old and dead. People will say what they want to say, but for the first time in my life, I am able to look them in the eyes and say "Im doing it my way", and If I died tomorrow, or failed in the process, at least I can say, I died trying, which is better than never having tried at all. I sit here listening to this song, and nothing but raw feelings of determination swims in my blood. For the first time, I have found something that has motivated me to NEVER give up, because you never know what's to come from your struggles, and you never know who's looking out for you. "For my head, for my heart, for its true..." "So I'm burning the thoughts of the things that I once said Because you tore down the walls that the world has put inside my head And I just get of sick of things that we think, we think we know..." We live this life living to understand who we are, what we are suppose to be, and how our "unimportant lives" surprisingly do make a difference in this world, where things can often seem overwhelming. It is true, we are humans and at the same time, we will make mistakes, but if you happen to be one of those people that believe that it is ok to "wing" life, then Im sorry, but what a waste of something as beautiful as life. This is why we are here still, while those closest to us, have left their mark in this world and have moved on to a better place, leaving the rest of us still living to do what? Strive to be the best we,each as individuals, can be. We must learn to enjoy the journey, while reaching our destinations. if anything, that is the reason why we are called "unique". People naturally, like to debate the issue of individuality, which is totally cool, opinions are neccesary, but in retrospect, I think this is why we all go through the things we go through, the highs, the lows, the ups and downs, and all of the inbetweens. it is from these events that life throws us, that helps shape our strenghts, and although it is not easy to stay true to who you are, if you are one of those few people that are able to do that...then my friend, I personally give you a standing ovation, for you have succeeded in life and sure enough, your purpose will show in time.... *ahh...sigh...* I feel much better having written this, =). Now seeing as how in 7 days I will embark on a new chapter in my life, I think this post has captured the thoughts that have been surfacing my mind for the past few weeks.... I know obviously there are going to be those people that when you see or meet will make me think, "I wish I had...", or "I wish I was as lucky as...", or "I wish I was a beatiful/outgoing/smart/loud as...", but I think now I have grown to the point where I have achieved some sort of peace knowing that, I am the way I am for a reason, and that things in my life has happened to ME for a reason, and if I stick to my roots, I will hopefully be blessed enough to see the reason why, and hopefully, it's one I will be proud of.... its funny how a *tv show*, I know..WIERD, could have been so influencial in my life...but I think it is from this show, having watched the struggles of those in a different art form than my own, have opened my eyes, heart, and soul to something new..something I can't really control, and something I can't really explain. It has influenced me at a point in my life where I needed inspiration the most...so to all those associated to "So you think you can dance- Season 2", I say from the BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THANK YOU! (In particular, these two amazingly talented, gifted, and beautiful people, that through their gifts, courage, and strength have empowered me in a way words can never explain (faith, life...everything), I wish them both the best of luck in their new success....my role models/hero's: Benji Schwimmer and Travis Wall ![]() ( Lto R: Travis W., Benji S.) Cheers everyone @ good luck in your studies where ever you are come Sept. -rEe* =) weird, its 1am and I just came home from habourfront's Island Soul Festival. GREAT vendors there, but it's funny how the owners jack up the prices for their clothes and african and artisan styled jewellery and what not, when you can get the same things @ kesington for WAYYY cheaper! haha...moving on... Ok...so on Tuesday, 1 ended up watching a good 5 hours of tv. =_= (sad, very). But Quite a few people have been telling me about the show "So you think you can Dance". Watched it, and LOVE IT!!!! It's 100000x better then the crummy Las Vegas, "Dance Fever". The dancers on this show are surreal, and the judges are great, I even think Nigel is wayyy better then Simon Cowell, he tells the truth in a gratifying way, and he actually has fun during the show.
I've honestly never heard of quite a few of the dance styles that were performed, in particular, I never knew waht contemporary REALLY was, until Tues, and I am IN LOVE W/ IT. A good 1hr show, the typically reality talent show style. The majority of the dances were good, but only one in particular MOVED me. Thanks to Travis, (who's element is contemporary), and his partner Heidi (who's element is ballroom, but was able to transform herself for this choreography, it was like an unsuspected love story told through dance, which completely moved me. I now what to learn contemporary dance, I was even being stupid after the show and doing dance moves..LOLZ. I am in love w/ the expression Travis gives to his work, and I want him to win. The judges were also very moved by the dance, which was pretty cool, one even went so far as to say, "they fell in love again". Well here's the moment of truth, watch the video (Mia Micheals is one CRAZY choreographer!!!! You should've seen the 1st day of training for this dance clip, shes one pyscho lady, but it paid off BIG TIME!!!) P.S- My favorite part would be the picture below, and the slide Travis does over the bench. The song is also very mesmorizing, so turn off the lights, sit back and enjoy!) nOTE: Travis is 18!!! =D =D =D ![]() <embed src="http://www.gofish.com/player/goFishVideo (In the words of little john): "WHAT WHAT.....YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Hope summer is treating you well!!!! -rEe* =) Just finished watching Canadian Idol..came up to see my playlist, and what songs suit my voice...so if I were to ever go on C.I, I would have some sort of clue of what to sing..and well I have noticed, I listen to like 4 FEMALE ARTISTS.... A) The only ones that ever existed and were any good, were from the 1990's and back... Ok, so maybe I have like 5 (mariah, celine, and whitney are a given, and then 3 from like the 70's/80's. So I basically have bands, and MALES...no wonder I sound like a man when I sing...joking. So my challenge this summer, listen to some REAALLY good fairly recent solo female acts..so I can get in touch with my vocal chords!!!! nOTE to self: Need to buy myself one of these niffty beaker mugs.

I did it....I survived high school! Looking back @ grade 11 math classes, I remember those moments when I felt like dropping out..I just wanted to give up right then and there...couldn't take the emotional, and physical toll of everything...but today I am glad to say I survived, and graduated...and if anything, Im honestly proud of accomplishing just that. And I know my grandmother is proud of me too. =) I love you grans..
OFFICIALLY DONE W/ HIGH SCHOOL...I'M NOW AT THE MIN RANK OF THE JOB CHAIN!! I SURVIVED FOUR YEARS OF SCHOOL AT THE ABBEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -rEe* =) Today was the worst day of my life.
Didn't get the job @ Foot Locker, I didnt pass the personality test, =S, whatever.... Next, So like all the other bloody days of this week, I have been going to UofT, Robarts library to study for my exams...as of now, I am not going back there, for as long as I can I see....My bag was stolen. So this is my letter to the bastard that took my stuff: To the idiot that stole my bag, I hope your cheap self has fun sluring the only form of physical money, $5 bill, on the nicest piece of crumbs you can buy. As for my digital camera, you prick, If the day comes I see you walking down the street with my bag, I will hurt you, I will hurt you like no tomorrow (and im not joking) As for my cd player, if your a guy, I hope you have fun walking around w/ a cd player that has a photo of the carebears on it, better yet if your either a he/she, I hope the acid leak on the back corrodes your hands, either that, or the 6 year old device breaks as soon as you attempt to play it... Now, my homekey, I hope you think I was/am a university student and think its a dorm key... As for my TTC student pass...well, since it has the date on it, you'll know im not in university....I PRAY if anything, your just some kid that wanted money, and not personal information... O, and as for the HMV gift card you decided to also take, I hope your lucky ass is found on the video camera of the library, and that I get as much info on you as possible, as soon as I trace that card... your ass is mine. I've learnt my lesson.....and I feel like shit =( [I just hope my personal safety, as well as the safety of my parents isnt at risk because of this] |
