It's all happening...

So I've decided that since I've pretty much got nothing going on for myself, I'm putting my all into something else. And I'm super excited about it. I had this feeling about two years ago about something else but it has now since fizzled away a bit. I think a lack of excitement/commitment/just plain laziness on all ends has brought it to this point. But next week it could be redeemed. I'm excited.

Anyway, yeah. My new project. I'm so stoked about it. Especially since I've now got something constructive to do with my time...Well what time that's not spent on school work, work work(Bolton), doing my hair(hahaha), etc.

But I definitely believe more in this than anything I have in a long time. It's got my heart right now. And it'll definitely keep my mind off of things. Things that, if thought about too much, are a bit upsetting.

It's going to take time, but seeing the end result in my mind makes it all worth while. Gah...I get so stoked just thinking about it lol.

In other news, I'm a nerd and definitely just read the original script for Almost Famous. There's so much in it that was left out the movie. I mean a lot of really good scenes in my opinion. You get to know the characters a lot more in depth.

There's this one scene where William is trying to convince his mom, Elaine, to let him go on tour and write for Rolling Stone. What didn't make it into the movie was a scene where he, Darryl(Anita's boyfriend), and a teacher from William's school have a sort of "intervention" with Elaine at his house. William presents his argument by stating:

I wish to disprove the prevailing false

belief that rock music is based on drugs

and sex. True, perhaps at one time...

but rock music is different now. It is

now
performed by hard-working
intellectuals, with... with blazing

intellectual pursuits, and I am going to

play for you a piece of music designed

to show you that my thesis is correct.
..

The song is based on the literature of

Tolkien... and it's mystical attempt

to elevate humanity has been successful

throughout the world...
this song
will change your life.


And what's the song that's played???

Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin.

That would have been an AWESOME scene to have in the movie.
But eh, whatcha gonna do?
I think I'm going to have to give that movie a watch tonight.
It's been a while. And it's still my fave.

Oh, I think I'm going to get "It's all happening" tattooed eventually.
Don't know where yet.
But it'll be hot.
