an American Idol hopeful

My niece went to Texas Stadium to audition for American Idol, this morning. I hope she made it to the next level. This is how you know if you REALLY know your family. My brother tells that my niece, Tanebra, is going to try out for American Idol. Deep down inside I was saying WIN THAT THANG!!!!! Outside, I was like; Can she do it?

This was an awakening for me. Because I have always wanted to try out for something that had anything to singing. Who doesn't?

Once, I had tried for this band in Midland, Tx. I wasn't ready but I knew this, 'No effort, no gain'. This band was awesome! They could play ANYTHING. And during my audition, they! Rick James' "Supafreak". When they began playing, I knew that Rick James was more than just a drug addictive singing. He was a true singer.

I sang and left.

But to recap: as Tanebra's uncle, I just want to say this: I hope you make it baby-girl. Uncle believes in you just as much as everyone around you does. Everyone deserves some good in their life.

Getting back in there

"That's the rule!"

A line from Ocean's 13. I haven't seen it yet but then, I haven't seen Hostel 2-which I will never see because I am a wuss. I hate horror flicks, because (all at once) I am a wuss. I have noticed something...when posting blogs, either a person will get to the point or ramble. The latter applies to me, so far...

I have not written a blog here for almost 7 months. It has really been a year one month. Almost like describing a child's age: 'she is one and one month old'. Why? Because I'm a wuss? Because I'm Lazy? Eh! Because I'm busy?

Mmm... All the above.

But one of the most rewarding things that anyone can do is share their lives with another and others. On the other hand, what I find most challenging about life is to share your thoughts through writing. The Internet is like one never ending wall just waiting for any particular style of to grace it.

Since we want to be valued, and writing about it is one way to call out after it, the toughest part is accepting rejection when your point is foggy. Editing can always fix that. But I'm talking about those thoughts that people don't get or want to read because they are too true or have too many adages. They say that writing about it promotes growth. They say, even though it can be painful, just express or just write. Some times banter is just as soothing. Eventually, the callousness sets in and an acquired taste to accepting rejections as a cheap way to guide you in a direction you think you don't want to go because all you see is a road. This is a mixture of the reasoning I was away from Blogger for so long...

Yeah, that, and my undying devotion of listening to music and my determination at writing jokes.

So, I guess the rule at blogging is... that it depends on who you are, why you are, and what you are wanting to blog about. I look forward to doing more writing here...OK, bantering.
