Friends in the Music Business

I have two friends in the music business.

One is a BIG hit. The other is sort of underground, but still working on her stuff.

It's just odd.

Well, not it's not odd. I'm very proud of these girls. It's just interesting because I used to see them at school every single day. I used to help them in choir. And now their doing tours around the country, traveling to foreign countries, and are achieving top rankings in all of the pop hit charts.

It makes me wonder what I'm doing with my life.

Which is kind of stupid, because what they want to do in life and what I want to do in life is very different. As much as becoming a singer may seem like a fun and interesting career path, I have no strong desire to do so. I just don't.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that these people have found what they want to do, and are being successful at it.

Well, success is a relative term - I realize.

I guess success and happiness comes at different times for different people. That's just the way things work and I just have to accept it I suppose.

Hm...

Academia on Blogging

I'm reading an article on blogging. This is very interesting.

Actually, I'm not reading an article, it's more like... a 100 page academic journal on the new uses of media and the way we abuse it.

That's also not true.

The reason why I'm talking about this is because I thought it is interesting that there is finally literature and academic papers written on the nature of blogging and bloggers. All these things that weren't defined until recently are now defined and taught at universities. it's a weird phenomenon.

I suppose it's not a phenomenon. It's just one of those things. Like when academic papers were written about TV and how that was going to revolutionize life, the internet is slowly doing the same.

I realize it's been too long since I updated.

With Frosh orientation and little kids running around and going to class, I don't have as much time. That said, I need to do a vlog.

Also.

I've been waiting for her to do this song!



hm... what else.

Updated book list later.

But right now I'm reading...

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz.

Hollah.

Boats and Birds - Kina!

Ahhhh, the reasons why I wake up on Monday. Well at least one of the reasons.

The lovely Kina Grannis has updated her blog with my summer song - Boats and Birds by Gregory and the Hawk. Huzzah!

but before that...

I'm back at school. I need to get a vlog up. I also need to unpack. I also need to go buy a new nose pierce and ahhhh... lots to do.

But enough of me complaining. I'll post this and go get some coffee

have a lovely week
