Starting Over

The Amazing Morgan Karr with Starting Over, by my new discovery of a awesome songwriter Will Van Dyke!

Twenty Something

My whole life is right in front me.
I can go anywhere.
Two whole decades can’t prepare you for the moment,
When the page is blank before you,
And you’re barely even twenty-something.
Nothing’s standing in my way.
No one’s holding me back.
College ended and there’s no one here to tell me
Not to hit the bars and rent some cars.
I’ll fuck around
But then I’m gonna change the world.
It’s the generation twenty-something ascending.
We might be young. We might be poor.
But we know we deserve much more than what our parents have.
Who knows what that’ll be?
But we’re ready to discover
If there is life after the Wii.
‘Cause as long as we’re still young and fresh
And twenty-something, we’re free.
This is it. This is what’s hot.
It’s your moment. It’s your decade.
But you’re only twenty-something til you’re not.
Hurry up. Do it now.
If you don’t, if you blink,
Then it’s over.
Show me something I can get behind.
And I’m already there.
I have more free time than I know what to do with.
I’m in twenty different places
But I guess it’s ’cause I’m twenty-something.
Single with a bach’lor pad.
Now I just need a job.
I’ve got time to kill until my life becomes more real.
The time is now for wearing heels,
For roommates, drugs,
For chance encounters.
Raise a glass to the generation twenty-something ascending.
We might be young. we might be poor.
But we know we deserve much more than what our parents have.
Who knows what that’ll be?
We’re the target demographic.
We’re the reason for tv.
We’re obsessively and definitely twenty-something and free.
Don’t think about tomorrow,
There’s enough to do today.
I’m young, smart, on my way.
This is my day.
You blinked.
You’re not twenty-something.

This is it. This is what’s hot.
It’s your moment. It’s your decade.
But you’re only twenty-something til you’re not.
Hurry up. Do it now.
If you don’t, if you blink,
Then it’s over.
Don’t think about tomorrow,
There’s enough to do today.
I’m young, smart, on my way.
This is my day.
You blinked.
You’re not twenty-something.

Raise a glass to the generation twenty-something ascending.
We might be young. we might be poor.
But we know we deserve much more than what our parents have.
Who knows what that’ll be?
When you’re twenty you’re just starting…
When you’re twenty-four…
You’re twenty-five…
You’ll never feel more perfect when life starts at twenty-three.
Because we’re ready and we’re waiting
And we’re twenty-something and free.

Halfway

Looks who's finished!

So after and epically long exam period I have finished finally!

I now have a list of things to complete, which I won't post on here becuase some of the things are a little bit embarassing. But a lot I have been putting off for half a year, like renewing my passport and so forth.

I'm really liking Sia's new album 'We Are Born, which is definatly more pop-y then her last.
Also my new but old TV show Hotel Babylon, it's fuinny becuase I know those things actually happen, and plus it's English. Who doesn't love a good british accent.

So off to cross somethings off my list, Clean my room is up there as well, wish me luck.

Pretty Girl Blues

From Tales of the Bad Years by Kerrigan and Lowdermilk, Love their stuff love this song... Also 'The Bad Years' and 'Two Strangers'...*love*

Give me freedom, Give me Fire, Give me reason, Take me Higher

So I went to Anitioch to day and the reflection song was the reflection song was the theme to the world cup. It was the first time i really listened to the lyricsand heard the entire piece. it's really beautiful, have a listen...



I am loving the world cup, I love the late and sleepless nights, or early mornings. I love having conversations to randoms about last night's game and finals predictions. Everyone seems to be getting into the spirit of things, it really is the world game.

Edges!

I went to see EDGES: a Song Cycle! It was bloody fantastic!

This blog is named after one of the songs from the 'musical' it was fabulous, the singing was great the actors were awesome! it was great to see all the songs that i love way to much get performed!

Artist? Album? Genre?

So my music was not very organised tossed into a folder, added to my itunes never to be looked for again.

I like things to look good and I wanted my iTunes to look good, yes I am weird that way, and I wanted things to be ordered and nice on my ipod. So i deleted everything off my ipod and itunes and set to work placing all my music in the albums by artist, which too me a good week to do. Then I had the problem of where to I put the compilation albums/songs very difficult. Finally I did it all, backed it all up (thank god becuase my computer crashed the next week), and then loaded everything back in to itunes and then back on to my itunes



The general gist of my organisation.

I'm quite happy with it now, but i still have to get all the album art for my ipod, and that might take a while.. and a bit of bandwidth...

Avenue Q

So the Awesomeeness of Avenue Q came to Melbourne.

I went on the 18th of July and it was great I loved every moment, even the really weird but fun to watch puppet sex. The puppeteers were great as were their voices, top notch on both the singing and the accents. I thought i twas going to be hard to concentrate on the puppets, but my eyes were instantly drawn to them. Especially there is one scene where the same actress is the voices for two of the characters on stage, I hardly even noticed with the perfectly timed puppeteering and change of tone in the voice. Amazing stuff!
Princeton - Could really see the naivety in the character, Fun to watch, very easily relatable.
Rod - Played by the same actor (Mitchell Butel) as Princeton, was great as Rod, extremely flamboyant, and whiniy fitted the character really well.
Nicky/Trekkie Monster(Luke Joslin) - I liked his voice, thought it was very good, but my friend thought it was wasnt monster/ Erine-esk enough.
We had the understudy for the Kate and Lucy the Slut i think her name was Natalie Alexopoulos, she was fantasic, great voice, fantastic acting.
The only character that I had a little bit of a problem with was Gary Coleman, she was a bit to, lets face it,white, and the ac6ting seemed a bit forced. Maybe it had to be, becuase some of the jokes that were centreded around Gary Coleman weren't really got by the Australian audience.
Thats another thing, although i thought it was fine, maybe becuase I have watched so much of it on youtube, was the americaness of it. I know that sound pretentious, by my friends asked me at interval, why it was called Avenue Q, and I had to explain about Alphabet city and other things like that. Although I must say they did try their best to make it more realtable, especially when they changed the words in For Now, from 'Geroge Bush', to 'Swine Flu' that defiantly got a laugh.

My mates that went with me, hadn't really heard much of the soundtrack, besides the songs they heard when I was obsessed with the musical. They loved them, thought they were very witty and cleverly done. Crude, but good crude, spoke the truth. One of the songs called "What do I do with a BA in English" at interval, Nick turned to me and said what do I do with a BA, as that is what she is studying in Uni. 'The Internet Is For Porn' was a definatly crowd pleaser but caused a problem when signing it in public, as is the song 'Everyone is a little bit racist', although when someone accuses me of being racist I do break into song. Schadenfreude is very true!
And the song For Now helped me get though last year, becuase I knew it wasn't going to last forever only for now!

I deifnalty walked out of the theatre with a smile on my face!

Blue Eyes

Mika has got a new album out called 'Songs of Sorrow' and I am really liking a song on there called Blue Eyes, it is beautifully written, very melodic. You use to be able to listen to this song plus two other on his site, www.mikasounds.com, but they took Blue Eyes down which was a shame, but here is sung live.



I have only ever disliked one of Mika's songs and it was the hidden track, Grace Kelly reminds me of my trip to France because I first heard it there, and it was playing is every shop.

I'm bored, I'm awesome, it's almost one...

So my posts a few and far between, and every time I got to write something it has no substance, but does a blog need to have substance, maybe that's my problem is that I think there has to be something fun interesting to blog about. So from now on I think I will blog about nothing is particular, cool video, interesting articles, strange pictures, and so on and so forth.

The title of this blog is "I'm bored, I awesome,it's almost one..." come from the song "Blue Hair" by Joe Iconis, I didn't instantly love it when I first heard it, but it began to grow on me and now I tend to sing it often, usually loudly and in the shower. I first found it on UrInTown (one of the best channels ever)on youtube, sung by the fabulous Courtney Wolfson.



Always makes me smile when I listen to this song, because at one point last year, I did want to dye my hair blue.

Life goes on....

Ooh Life goes on things will be OK,
Ooh Horhay's gone
Tomorrow is a brand new day,
Everyone makes a couple mistakes,

Somewhere along the way....

Life goes on, after all this, after school. Most people are scared because we have never known a life outside of school, of structure, of bells and classes and learning. We never stop learning, so that's one less fear.We have been institutionalised for so long, that we won't be able to stop. I don't think we have been sheltered, so to speak, some more so then other, but we have been protected, rightly so, this is our first step into the life we see all around us, but have not quite been able to grab on to.So we have to take this step. It's so defined. School for 13 years then bang. No mid-way. I don't count Uni, it's part of the rest of life.

We all think, oh what's it going to be like? I won't see my friends everyday!
Although we don't like to admit it, in 15 years you are probably not going to be friends with some of the people that you are now. Although there are always exceptions. It's not because you don't want to, or you don't like them, it's the time issue, and the things you have in common, maybe now you are thinking, but we have things in common now. Do you really? Is your common interest right now, School.

Things will be OK. I don't know that, but I can damn well hope they will be. At the moment the future it not looking too bright, what with climate change, over population, fuel shortage and the economic crisis. Hopefully we will have better these problems, so we can live the way we dreamed we would.

Everyone makes a couple mistakes. So what if you do, just pick yourself up and try again. Mistakes are there so we can learn from them, improve, and not repeat them. Without mistakes there would be no progress. Progress is good.

Somewhere along the way.

I have enjoyed this year immensely, although there are things I would defiantly change, if i had the power. It's been good. Memorable. I'm not scarred of what is to come, I'm cautious, I don't like making mistakes. I don't like falling. But if you don't fall, I won't learn how to get up.

So my first step forward onto the way with may bumps and potholes and turns
Be more decisive.
Take control.


I wish everyone the best of luck with their exam and their futures whatever you may choose to do.
