School, Life and Everything Else

Wow it sure has been a while since I have wrote on here. Well I have definitely been busy with school, work and other things. I have been enjoying my Christmas Break way to much and I most definitely do not want to go back. But on the other hand I am excited to see all my friends. I have missed seeing them over the break. I also and going to have to get back into the swing of school life. And on top of that I am suppose to have my wisdom teeth taken out in a couple weeks. Ugh! not excited for that . Oh well, at least tournaments for basketball are coming up. I can’t wait! that’s one of the best things about high school. Getting together with friends and making t-shirts for the games and then cheering on the Culbertson Cowboys and Cowgirls. Well I guess that’s all I will try to write soon. Until then make sure to check out my new youtube video’s. :) http://www.youtube.com/user/musicangle21?feature=mhee

Speech and Drama

So I have finally finished my speech for Speech and Drama. So excited to start the season I mean I look forward to it all year long. This will be third year in Speech and Drama and I have loved every I have been in it. My Freshman year I participated in Expository Speaking. I did my speech on Organ Donation. I loved my speech that year and I guess so did the judges because I made it to State! When I got to state I did not make it to the second round. In one of my rounds I actually had a coughing attack. It was so bad I actually had tears coming down my face. But when you are in the middle of a speech you can not stop the timer and restart because as soon as you stop the timer you are done and there is no starting over. Ya sucks right?!? Especially since my cousin and my sister came to see me. Oh well that is done and over with now.
Last year I decided to change it up and so I did Humorous Duo with a friend of mine. We were awful we didn't even make it to finals. I don't know what possessed me to want to do drama when I am good at speech. But it was an awful choice and I am glad I am going back to speech this year I have missed it a lot.
So hopefully this year goes better than my freshman year when I had the coughing attack at state. Probably one of the worst things that could ever happen. It just sucks to make it that far and then just choke literally haha.


I don’t think people realize how big a deal Speech and Drama is for us. I mean it is always such a huge deal when the basketball team makes it to state. But who cares who makes it to state for Speech and Drama. Everyone in Culbertson would go and see the basketball team. But they don’t even care about Speech and Drama or Cross Country. Our Cross Country team made it to state this year and won. And most people didn’t even give a crap. Its things like that that really get to me. It’s always like if you are not in basketball well then you don’t mean crap to anyone. People don’t understand that we work all year on our Speech and Drama pieces. But whatever besides that we are suppose to have our very first Speech and Drama meet of the season on Saturday, however we are being hit with a huge blizzard that is beginning today and will last all weekend so I am praying it doesn’t affect our meet.

Die Young by Ke$ha (and other stuff)

I feel your heartbeat to the beat of the drums. Oh what a shame that you came here with someone. Lets make the most of the night like we are going to die young. Haha those are the song lyrics I am listening to right now I kinda just want to get up and dance. But at the same time I am sick so I can’t sing and dance which isn’t fun so boo. I swear I listen to this song everyday I guess you could say it is my pump up song. Oh and for all for all of you who don’t know what this awesome song is. It is by the one and the only Ke$ha. It is her new hit Die Young. So again it is amazing you all should definitely listen to it.
So yesterday I had a pretty good day and I finally conquered one of my fears. I finally played piano and sang at the same time for the first time ever last night at my youth group. So wooo!! So excited I finally did that. It felt great and I didn’t even mess up one note so it was perfect for the most part. I played and sang Turning Tables and played piano with it. Then I sang the song Anyway by Martina McBride with a CD.
So with all of that being said yesterday was a pretty good and now I am going to try and not talk for a while so I can recover and get my voice back. Haha like that is going to last I couldn’t stop talking if I tried. Oh well I will give it my best.

Senioritis Bad

Hey everyone I’m back. So I have been thinking more and more about college. Yes, I know it isn’t for a while yet but still I want to be prepared. I can’t wait for college I mean I don’t know how much more of high school I can take. Everyone says oh well you are going to regret saying that well I don’t think so. There is no way in heck I am going to miss this place. Maybe that’s why I keep thinking of college because I am just tired of the drama and I can’t wait to leave. Thank God it is only one more year. Because I can’t take much longer, the people are getting to me. I guess what I am trying to say is I have senioritis BAD. But besides that Go Minot Beavers!

Minot State Music Festival Update

So the Minot music Festival was great. It is so much different to be in a big choir like that compared to the choir I normally am in. We went to a concert that the college put on. There was one group that was amazing. It was a group of strings with a girl singing over the top of them. I had never heard anything more beautiful in my life. I can remember just sitting on the edge of my seat and at the end of the song I remember crying. I kept thinking that in a couple years that could be me singing on that stage singing in the college choir.
I love Minot and practically have my heart set on it for college. Hopefully I can go to Minot because I can’t think of anywhere else I would rather go. So with that said Go Beavers!

Music and Emotion

Everyone has a different way of expressing emotion. For me I express it through music. If I feel a certain way   I can sing about it and it makes me feel better. Music is so cool to me because there is so many different kinds. Music has so many different sounds and I think that is why I love music. There are over one hundred instruments  Not including the music we can make using our computer. Most albums now are corrected and made to sound better using computers. Technology has come so far and now we are including it in our music. I have looked at trying to figure out how to make dub step remixes with my computer and I have tried a couple websites but I can't get it just right. Music is so complex and interesting. 

My favorite genre of music would have to be either country or pop. Both have such unique sounds and I like them both for different reasons. I love country music because I want to be a country artist. I love country because it can be a typical country song or it can be a country power ballad. I love to sing songs that are like that. I like pop music because it has a good beat and it is one of those genres you can drive around with your friends to. 

No matter what emotion you are feeling music can express it. When you are feeling sad you tend to listen to sad songs because it can pertain to your emotion you are feeling. I know that is what I do. 

I like all kinds of music right now I am in a pretty good so I am listening to Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson. The song puts me in a good mood because of the kind of beat it has. If you listen to an artists voice when they sing you can tell what kind of emotion they are feeling. 

Music can make you feel so many different ways. Any emotion you are feeling can be expressed through music and that is one of the most amazing things to me because for me nothing else can express the way I feel any time of the day. It is one thing I can always count on. 

I have tried to write my own songs, because then I can express myself and exactly what I am feeling but song writing is very hard because there are so many different songs and I always manage to get a song stuck in  my head and I can't help but thinking of that that song when I write my song. 

I hope someday I can find someone who loves music just as much as me. 

Dreams...How do I get there?

Dreams are a great thing to have but if we never put action into the dream what was the point? My dream for a long time now is to be a famous singer. I think about it day and night. I want to go and try out for the X Factor and my friend said I can ride with him, but my mom doesn't want me to go without her so I asked her if she was ever going to take me. She said she wanted to but it will cost a lot of money. I realize it isn't cheap but if it is for your dream wouldn't be worth it? I have wanted to go on the X Factor or American Idol ever since I was a little girl.
I know what song I want to sing my audition, I want to sing Anyway by Martina McBride. I have been preparing for this moment since I was little and I think I am finally ready to achieve it. But it feels like no one is supporting me. I need some support I feel like they don’t want me to do it. I told my parents that if it didn't work out I would go to college but they want me to go to college first. They keep saying they are going to take me but it never happens and now I have a chance and they said no. I mean why do they not want me to go? It is like they don’t want me to achieve my dreams. I don’t get it.
I am sorry for the rampage but I had to get that out I am just very confused and frustrated. If you have any advice for me please leave a comment below.
