Oh the Places I Would go!

     If I were to be famous I think I would choose to be in the shoes of a famous writer such as J.K. Rowling or Stephen King. I would choose to be a writer over an actress or singer because writer's get different publicity than actress' and singers in my opinion. The Paparazzi tend to try and get the dirt on many celebrities to show every side of their life and I feel that they leave the writer’s of the world have their own life but still be famous for their work. I would choose to be famous for being an undercover journalist in foreign countries reporting on worldly events. I’ve always had an eye for an exciting job and I think that being an undercover journalist would be the perfect occupation. (I don’t even know if “undercover journalists” exist).
     With my new found fame I would educate the public on what’s going on in other countries so that people can know the facts and then base their judgements off that. I wouldn’t call it fame but more so just being known for doing something great. I would associate myself with people who share the same views as I do, well actually anyone who was interested in knowing something about my travels. Being a journalist is what I want to be and I am going to school for it so I think that this was probably based off of my interests. Heh. J
I want to go everywhere. :):):):)

Soundtrack to my Life

"I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone." - MGMT (The Management)
MGMT- Time to Pretend (photo from the music video)


     These lyrics describe what I feel I am going to sometimes be thinking about when in university next year from time to time. Even though I'm so pumped to be out in the world alone (well not alone but you know what I mean) making my own decisions and finding my own way, I think I'll for sure find myself missing all of the above, especially the comfort of my Mother <333. I already do miss my childhood where nothing mattered all that much and I in fact did go dig up worms in my backyard and then made mud homes for them. hahahaha.


                I also interpret that the song is saying that life is short so go make it the best by saying;

"This is our decision, to live fast and die young. We've got the vision, now let's have some fun."
     If you know what you want to do go out and make it happen so that you can accomplish something in your life and be proud.
 
"Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do. Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute."
     This line just makes me think of getting old and what adulthood is going to be like... so routine. But I guess it's like being a kid and going to school everyday, in the sense of having a routine and then again it's so much more. This song is like my life because I was young once and didn't have a care in the world and then I started growing up and let go of my childhood and having dreams and visions about my life to come. Then one day I will wake up and go to work but I'll enjoy ever second of it because it'll be something I love to do.
