It's Been A Summer....
Well, I just got back from the Cape like 15 minutes ago and I felt that I should maybe finish up my summer entries a little nicer than wit some tacky survey. So here we go.
I spent this weekend at Harrowich. It was a nice way to end this really good summer. I mean I wish I could say I changed in some way this summer but I really feel I didn't. I think this is because in order to change, you need to gain influence from those you're with. And I'll be honest my social skills this summer were horrible. Like most of this summer was with my family. Now don't get me wrong that's great too. But I wish I could take the initiative to get in on hanging with my friends. So maybe if I had more of that this summer, I would have changed in some way.
I spent alot of my time stuggling to write a song. I wrote songs over this summer like "Tony Bramwell" and "July Again" (as heard at myspace.com/detourdemos jk jk jk) but I don't feel those songs are for the band. Thier mostly acoustic solo stuff that I just couldn't see more than two people working with. So my new goal was to write a new one for the band. I struggled on a tune and then on a topic. Soon I had the tune with like 4 different drafts of lyrics (none of them I liked). So I tried and tried. Finally this weekend I finished it. It def. needs some fine tuning but its pretty good to go. Its called "Closing Down the Shore". Unfortunatly its not based on any personal experience but I liked the concept anyways. Its about a couple that had been broke up and the guy still wasnt over her. When he finds out the place they used to hang out is being closed down, he feels that last bit of good memory of her has closed too. It works I guess.
So we found out the play was Pippin. So I bought the cd and the music is 10 times better than Kiss Me Kate. Its more 70s rock which is good. I still dont know what to audition with. But whatever. I just wish it wasn't so early. Usually I like a few days to adjust into my new year before I jump into extra curricular but whatever. It'll be all good.
So thats all I guess. Its been a great summer. Theres been things I wished I did and things I'm glad I completed. There's one part of me thats saying "yes, get this school year going on, I need some more to keep me more busy." when another side dosn't want to leave this summer. Their almost like two different lives. Both good. But different. But whatever. Another school year begins and who knows what will happen in between now and exactly a year from now.
