Give Me Some Truth..

Somebody told me to be careful about posting such honest blogs. My reaction was to write this blog. Blogs are supposed to be reviews right? They are meant to focus on humans in general. We all get to choose what we write about. Thats why there are hundreds of thousands of blogs out there. They are all different. With different opinions, different writing styles, different voices being projected. Its an expression, its art. This is my art. I am just being who I am.

I have found out that if you aren't yourself, if you don't react from the heart, you will fail in the long run. The way to succeed is to be who YOU are. Everyone is so different from each other, but in reality all the same. We need to use our personalities and quirks about ourselves to stand out in this world. It's really all we got. Not everyone is going to like it, or accept it. The point is to do what you do, and the people who want it will like it and gain something from it, and the people who don't hopefully will teach you in some way.

Lately, some people have been telling me that I need to be less honest. "Less honest" for real? Don't the majority of people want to know the truth? Nope. They want to live in their bubble they have created for themselves and be blissfully ignorant. I understand this mentality, I lived it for many years. Its hard to look into the mirror of truth and accept what is really going on. When you do though is when your life is transformed. Which leads to change. Change is another one of those things most people are not into. Change is the only constant, and change can only happen when truth is present. I will take truth over a lie any day of the week. Lies aren't helping us as people grow or learn. We will stay in inertia if we don't accept the truth.

As the late great John Lennon said "All I want is some truth"...

I need fun in my life..

I just came from a place where music was plentiful. New bands galore, a venue every block, inspiration and creativity flowing abound. Now I am in a place where music is limp. There is nothing here. Yes, I do live in a very rural area but there still is a bit of a music scene. The main problem is its not diverse enough. There are so many different kinds of music, and people that live here I just am still shocked that all we get is Reggae and Electronic. Every now and again an indie group will come through, but the publicity of it is horrible, and usually I don't hear about the shows until they are well over. You could argue that I should be more adamant on keeping up with the happenings around town. You would be right, but the point is, it shouldn't be that hard. This is a college town, college kids, with college tastes. These college kids look a lot like hipsters, and hipsters love shows. Going to see music is such a great release and a place to let you see the people who make the music you love. If you get lucky you see a band you never heard of and fell in love with based on their show. Then for years to come, their albums remind you of this incredible experience you had when you saw them play. I am lucky enough that over my life, I've seen some very epic shows, well they were epic to me at least, and thats all that matters. Our personal experiences are all we got in life, and why not make them as magical as possible?

Does this blog seem like me just bitching about where I live? Good because it is. I am feeling trapped a bit up here behind the redwood curtain. I need more in life, I need excitement, I need live music that gives me an experience, that makes me fall in love with all over again. This is important to me, this is the type of life I want to lead. I am trying to make that happen in some way. I can't just jump up and move. Thats just impossible to accomplish anytime soon. So what are my options? I can start throwing shows, or start a dj night I suppose. How does one do that? I don't really know. Maybe I will try to figure it out.

Back in Action..

I have decided that it is time to get my ass back on this thing. I need to be reviewing, thinking, living and loving all things entertainment, or at least entertaining to me. Its time to just be on my grind and be me. So I will be sharing all things I find lovely on here. I am Ms. Connection, I live in Northern California, and am attempting to start my own career path in life. They say most people succeed when they just tap into their own talents and go with it. So my talent is talking, and sharing with people things I am passionate about and love. I could be a saleswoman if i cared enough about the product, but honestly there isnt anything I care that much about as of yet. Maybe through writing and observing more I will find it. I have faith in all of this, and hopefully you will read and enjoy what I have to say.

Listen to Beach House, it will help you through the rough winter ahead..
