015: i am a lone warrior on a misson
Again, I have failed to keep up with my online journal. I swear, I only update like once a month and I neglect to tell you all about what's going on in my life. For that, I apologize. Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth updating because I barely get any comments anyways and I barely have any friends that I can trust in and talk to through here. Times have changed for this girl and I don't just add anyone anymore. Enough said.
So, a lot has been going on lately. I've been working many hours at my job which is nothing new really, but I've been trying to show my higher potential to my manager so I can become key holder. It's something I want very much and I believe I deserve it since I've been there the longest and I know what I'm doing there. I can pretty much do everything on my own there. I'd say its about time I become key holder. I was working two jobs. My other job was BK which was a big waste of my time. Seriously. One day out of the week wasn't worth it at all. Sure, an extra 50 bucks in my hand was nice, but the time and bullshit I was going through wasn't. So, I quit BK and now I'm working full time at Deb.
Lately, I've been working on my music. Well, I was. I had recently gotten myself into a recording studio and was laying down some cover tracks and some originals. It was the most exhilarating experience of my life. Let alone fun. I put up a website to show off my talents and that has been going well too. I had my first live show on Saturday and it was absolutely amazing. I originally was singing with my friend Andrew and when we were done, the audience wanted to hear more of me, so I sang some more and got judged, winning 2nd place. It was the mots amazing feeling in the world to hear people standing up and clapping, wanting more. It makes me feel talented and great. For once in my life, I have fans and fans that love me. Sadly, I'm not recording anymore because so much went down between my producer, myself and my boyfriend and now, I am not allowed around my producer no longer. So, now I'm trying to find other studios around town that aren't that expensive and try my best to continue my sessions and continue on with my dream. I just hope it will be easy enough like how it started. If you all want to hear my music and become a fan, go to www.reverbnation.com/samanthajoie. There is a video up also and soon to be another one up of my performance on Sat. :)
So, according to my facebook status and boyfriend, I M ENGAGED! Saturday after my show, Alex gave me a beautiful heart-shaped diamond necklace that said love in the middle and it was gorgeous! I haven't taken it off yet and he said that in two weeks, I was getting my engagement ring! I'm sooo happy and excited I can't even explain in words! Earlier today, my cousin Carrie texts me and asks me if I was engaged and I was all confused so I texted her back saying that I wasn't...at least not yet, so I come home and check facebook and Alex had changed his status to engaged and wanted me to confirmed. I had this HUGE smile on my face. Haha. It was wonderful.
I have more to tell you, but I have to go pick up my fiancee ♥ from work then we're going to hang out for a bit. It's going to be a good night. Comment if you all like. I'd like to see some once in a while :P
Love & Peace,
Samantha Joie
