Chapter 244: Baby Got Going

Okay, so tonight’s blog was initially planned to be something very different than it is actually going to be now. You see, I developed a plan that I thought was really cool for tonight’s blog but it has kind of been ruined. I talk a lot in this blog about my passion for music and songwriting, in particular. Songwriting is what I really feel is my strong suit and it is the part of the whole musical process that I am the most passionate about. So, I was thinking that, instead of just talking about it some more in the blog, I thought I would share a little bit with you. However, just filling a blog with songs that I have written seems kind of boring and like it wouldn’t really give you, the reader, the full concept of what it is I do. So, I gave myself a little project today. Today I wore the three eye shadows in my new favorite piece of makeup, the Stila “It Girl” palette. I am kind of obsessed with that thing and have used it a LOT since I bought it. So, the idea that I came up with was to write three new songs today, each inspired by one of the three shades in this palette. Then I was going to share each of the songs and discuss the process of writing each one, how they were inspired by the eye shadow, as well as how they were inspired by my own life experience and other little tidbits about the whole songwriting process. It was, in my mind, a pretty great plan. Unfortunately, I left the songs I wrote inspired by the eye shadows on my desk at work. I can’t remember them off the top of my head, so I can’t really share them here until I have them on me. It sucks, too, because I actually really loved all three of the songs and felt like they were some of my best work in a really long time. So, that blog is still planned but I won’t be posting it until tomorrow. What really sucks about that, though, is the fact that I don’t really have a whole lot else to say about today. It was a pretty boring day.

Today was my first day back at work after my four-day weekend, and I was REALLY feeling the effects of that. It was a really long day at work. I didn’t do a whole lot, aside from writing the aforementioned songs. I didn’t read at all and I didn’t draw or anything. I mainly spent the day chatting with my co-workers and, you know, actually working. Strange. Like I said, it was a very long, boring day. Now that I am off work, I am in the midst of cooking dinner. Once my Mom gets home, which will be in just a few minutes, we are going to watch “Remember Me,” so she can see it before I send it back and get another movie. I think I am going to move the movie “Nine” to the top of my queue because I am pretty anxious to see it and really in the mood for a good musical. Of course, from what I’ve heard, “Nine” isn’t all that great of a musical but based on the 30 minutes or so of it I saw, I am thinking it should be at least kind of good. I don’t know. I am completely over this day. So much so that I think I am going to end this blog here. I’m not saying shit and it seems kind of pointless. Tomorrow’s blog will be better. I’ll make it a point to bring home those songs tomorrow so I can write the awesome blog that I had planned for today. For now, though, I’ve got to get back to dinner. Goodnight.
