i started playing guitar when i was 14, not because i necessarily wanted to play guitar, but because i wanted to get famous so that i could marry a rock star that will remain unnamed unless you ask me nicely and promise not to laugh. i was too stubborn to take lessons and after 2 years of blood, sweat and tears i could finally kinda sorta play something.
i went through a phase in highschool when my friends kattie and kari and i wanted to be in a punk band (boy did some terrible--but therefore good punk--songs come out of that era--"i can't sleep" was up there with the best of them). but since you can't play in a punk band by yourself, my alone time was spent writing terrible--therefore terrible love--songs about heartache that is now a mere drop in the ocean.
i used to get frustrated that i couldn't imitate anyone else's style. there's something about what other people can do that is already somehow superior to what you can do..... (i still can't quite figure that out) but i realized that the common thread through all my songs was not a curse or a shortcoming (though i still have to wonder sometimes......); it was me. it was style. and i'm stuck with it. and i know enough to be grateful and hope like hell that i don't lose it.
once upon a time my dream was to write one song and have one person hear it. that was all i needed. now it's 10 years, hundreds of songs and thousands of people later and somehow i'm not there yet. dreams are funny that way.Get MySpace Layouts from nUCLEArcENTURy .COM OR create your own using MySpace profile editor !!!
