(no subject)
I feel like the whole world at OCC smokes and I'm going to choke to death when I'm walking to my classes.
I'm not kidding. And MOST of them, but not all, just blow there smoke around as if I told them I'd like to second hand.
Beside that, school has been going fairly well.
I've tried so hard to pay attention in astronomy so I'm doing my best.
I absolutely love my Psych teacher still and the class is really interesting.
Journalism is fun, it's just a lot of work.
Tyrone Wells wrote the greatest blog the other day.
They've started to play his song "What Are We Fighting For?" a lot on the east coast.
And they're starting to play it over here.
(Even though I still haven't heard it! Pfft.)
I get so frustrated when I see other people leave him comments saying,
"Omg!! I just heard you on the radio!!!"
Anyway, apparently Tyrone had never heard it himself until recently.
And he wrote this blog:
Why I Peed in my pants a little...
Mark and I have been running around this big nation and playing for the decision makers at the radio stations. Universal Republic has great radio reps and we've got to hang with some of them as they drive us from station to station. Our Northwest Radio rep, Lance Walden, has been taking us from point A to point B on this trip. Lance is a GREAT guy and we've been having a very good time hanging with him.
ANYWAYS, Lance is driving us from Seattle to Portland. I've got my laptop in my lap writing from the passenger side (I wanted to capture this moment). We are listening to KINK 101.9 on our way into Portland. Now, I know some stations in some cities have been playing my song "What are We Fighting For?" , but I hadn't heard it yet. SOOO, about 10 minutes ago the DJ at KINK says, we're going to give you a taste of the artist that's coming into the lounge tomorrow. Here's Tyrone Wells with "What are we Fighting for?"
Now… I'm sitting here still feeling a little amazed and elated that they actually just played the song that I wrote in my living room in my little condo in Chino Hills on the radio in Portland, Oregon. I am so grateful for this time and I appreciate you reader, for supporting my efforts and helping me to grow to the point of realizing these dreams. Every once in a while…dreams do come true. Thank You God.
First time hearing the album version of "What are We Fighting For?" on the radio...wow!!!!
Lance Walden from Universal Republic...very cool guy!
We had to memorialize the moment...thanks KINK!
He took a picture of the radio.. ha!
I am however, having a small, but very serious panic attack.
Tyrone is having 2 shows that I want to go to.
One is at Chapman University.
The other is in San Diego at the House of Blues.
I already have to request 4 days off in March for my girls' competitions.
So I figured I'd only be able to go to one of these shows.
The San Diego one is obviously going to be better.
And guess what day of ALL days nationals is on?
THE SAME DAY AS THE SAN DIEGO SHOW.
And I am so saddddddddddddd.
I have to find some way to make it work.
Wish me luck.
