A upcoming "project" and some truths revealed...
Would a This Is Your Life in music be too humiliating for most people to cop to? Is that why it has not been done?
See...that is the kind of question I ask myself after being up too late talking to friends on MSN and exchanging BAD YouTube clips of REALLY BAD 70's and 80's bands. The 70's bands were to make fun of the clothes and the 80's ones were to make fun of the hair. Well, all except Jon Bon Jovi. The man could wear a Perez Hilton wig and still make me be overcome by THE VAPORS. (And with that I have revealed my first sick truth about myself for today. Your welcome.)
I should add here that I intentionally stayed away from ALL clips related to my own Teeny Fan Phase because just the sight of an old New Kids on the Block or Jeremy Jordan clip makes me feel like diving under a rock. I can cop to having nail polish in shades obnoxious enough to be photographed by The Mars Rover, a lingering attachment to my I *heart* My Attitude Problem mug and the ability to combine any article of clothing I owned with a pair of work boots, but seeing clips of "the hottest things...like...EVER!!" makes me just want to self medicate. (I am pretty sure there was more than one additional truth in there somewhere. Your welcome.)
But I have to say that it got a lot better...
Fast forward to Age 17 till now...
What Jonie Mitchell did for Emma Thompson's character in Love Actually, the Dixie Chicks have been to me. That is to say, they have been a source of emotional maturity and emotional purging through the years. Wide Open Spaces came out around the time I fell in love with a Swede and made the leap across the pond. Around the time they sang about being a Long Time Gone, I was going through my own letting go stage and coming to terms with the fact that we can actually outgrow our home of birth and expand so much that we are not a perfect fit there anymore and still not totally belong where we have chosen to be. And Not Ready To Make Nice hit when I was coming into my own in a new adult away. Standing my ground and fully embracing what I have the right to expect from relationships around me. Between these songs were others that were just as important. Ones I reached for when I needed a good cry, a romantic mood or needed to blast something because I was pissed or happy.
But back to the original question...because this blog was not meant to be a novel...
Stay tuned because I am totally going to think about it and put something together. A Year in Review at the least. Why? Because I want to and this is my blog. So there. ;)
