"idealism, you gotta love it"

Apr 11, 2005 15:34

it was the weirdest thing yesterday. i was sitting, playing guitar, and i know i started at 10 pm, took a 15 minute shower, and ended around 12 30-1 pm. and somewhere in that time period, as i was running through scales with a speed i've never played with before, with technique that was rough, but didn't know i had, it came to me.

call me dumb. call me idealistic. but i think it can come true. like a prophecy that a select (very naive, lol) few truly believe. And finally, it dawned on me. I'm going to be a guitarist the world's never seen before. I'm going to be the greatest guitar player of our era. As Billy likes to say "...llllllLegend!!!"

and i think its so possible, that i have no hesitations from holding back from it. i can really acheive it. I can actually Really make it happen, and no one, No One can stop me. acting's a love of mine too, but more and more i can see me not going far with it. But the two are interlinked in my mind.

guitar, its my infinity. it helps me acheive places and regions unknown to me. i can see anything, i can forego hardship. Whether I'm adding in a soft melody in something like a track off Afterglow, one of Sarah Mclachlan's record, or i'm trying to nail the Al Piterelli intro of Faith Noel in Trans-Siberian's Lost Christmas Eve. Whether its a 3DR tune, or i'm sitting in my room ust going nuts blazing away, its all there. its like the Force. And i can't help but wistfully think that I'm Anakin Skywalker. the Chosen One, to fulfill the prophecy.

lol, so maybe not, right? Well, too bad, b!tches. No one's taking it from me. sigh. i can actually do it. and I Will. and i'll make Billy and my sister and the people who believe in me proud. And the nay-sayers can just deal with it.

sigh, one can only hope that these foolish idealisms are stuff dreams and Legends are made of.

and i gotta call UNLV and ask if they can let me apply there. eh...dunno what to say...
