(no subject)
I wake up and think, what the hell
About so many things. I had some kind of preconceived notion that as soon as I got in a relationship, everything would change for the better.
it didn't.
however comma I have grown a lot, I think. I think I think I think...
My spinning life has been was so intense from November until now and all of a sudden, I have nowhere to teach and I have decided not to march winter. Change is great but everything lately seems to be happening to the extreme. I think as a young performer/educator I didn't listen to people when they said: "its who you know in the activity,not what you know". I thought that if I got good and I marched places and believed in the way that I taught, then that would be it. Um no. Apparently in this activity in this state you have to sacrifice your art and vision to appease so many other politics that must go on. I cannot wait till I am a name in the activity and look back on all of this and laugh.
Mia Michaels recently attended Spinfest last September and spoke so much of originality and a personal belief in art, and yet we see the same shit season after season on floors and fields across the country. What a mess.
Oh I have to get something out of the way real quick:
This is for the people who in my past never thought I could do it. Never thought that I could march corps and do well and be in finals and not be out of step (or a disaster in general). For those of you who think I'm a big joke in the activity and think that I have a hot head and nothing else to offer this is for you. And for those of you who remain to be consistent in mediocrity will never grow past your own ego...
fuck you.
Who talk shit, compare, and judge. Who cant realize that what you do year after year is inappropriate and yet has somehow gotten you somewhere.
...moving on...
so I think that I have to get used to a lot of things.
