I found out three days ago that I was accepted for the preliminary auditions for American Idol that are (luckily) being held in one of the malls nearby. I didn't post anything because I'm kind of worried about the whole thing. It would be a huge change if I make even this first audition, and I'm not too happy when I think that everything could change soon. I mean, not that I've got my life perfect right now... I just can tolerate it. It's one of those "hey life may suck but it's going to suck the way I want it to." deals. I'm happy with how things are right now.
I've got great friends, my girl, a job that I don't mind doing (plus my coworkers are cool as hell,) and I'm planning on going back to school to take my life back from two years ago. Things aren't bad, they just aren't that good either. I wake up every day, not having a full time job, and I'm happy with that right now. I have everything I'll ever need in my room, hell I even just put in a mini fridge (mostly so I can see how well I'd handle a food budget for myself; little experiment I'm doing next month till my birthday.) I have a 10 year old car that my dad sold me, and it needs a little work, but that's okay too. I get paid under 6.00$ an hour, but being able to laugh it up with the guys at work isn't bad at all.
I may not have alot going for me right now, but if one thing like this could change my whole life around... Even just for 15 minutes of fame, what would that do to my life right now? What if the college I want to go to doesn't accept me because I was out of work (assuming that I would even make it to Hollywood) for a TV show contest, and don't seem to be dedicated to work and school? What if I do make it, and I have to work around a studio schedule and don't get to hang out with my friends?
Too much to think about. I always wanted to try making it as a singer the hard way. I wanted to get my name out, get known little by little. Show people what I could do on a real level. This A.I. contest has turned out to be just a bunch of publicity stunts, and it's more and more apparent with every new season. I guess I just don't know if this is what I want yet, but I don't really have much time to figure it out.
Did I also mention that I don't have a song picked out yet?
And that the "Hampton Roads Idol" contest starts tomorrow morning?
