Want to hear me sing? :)

Hey everyone, :)
My friend is cosponsoring Omaha's Got Talent, a variety show held at Central High School's auditorium on the 22nd of Sept, 7pm.
About 150 people auditioned, and ten got selected for their various talent...yours truly was one of the ten! :)
I am going to be singing a solo, acapella (means without background music).

Tickets are $15, and you can buy them on their website (www.omahasgottalent.com) or you can buy them at the door.  Proceeds benefits the leukemia and lymphoma society.

My honey bunny will be there...so if anything else, you can pay $15 to meet him :0).

Hope to see you all there!!!

Joo

PS.  I expect a dozen roses from everyone...just kidding!!!

Reflection

I used to love to write.  If not everyday, at least every other day I had the inspiration to write something on my heart, my mind.  Then the flow sort of...stopped.  I would say it was more than just writer's block; there was an emotional repression that didn't know how to come out.

It wasn't that my life was unremarkable; in fact, I've lived more life in the past few months than many live in a few years.  I lost my faith, I met what I believe is to be the love of my life, there were a few friendships in need of a break to be made stronger, I rediscovered my love of learning, and my dad died.  In the midst of the chaos, I think it is safe to say I lost myself.  My core was definitely shaken...not stirred. :)

It took awhile to regain my self assurance, but with the help of my dear friends and my Dearest, I can say I am piecing my life together.  This time, with him (Scott) in it.  While I wouldn't go so far as to state he is the glue that holds me together, he is the main chemical substance that is used to create the said glue.

We flew out to L.A. the Saturday after my dad's death.  As the only next of kin, it was my job to categorize his possessions into trash, charity, and personal effects I wanted to keep.  That was probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my entire life.  Even having to say goodbye to my mom as she left for Korea didn't compare.  How are you expected to organize the life of a man you loved and knew so intimately in one afternoon?  How are you expected to dissect your emotions from the process?  It is impossible.

It is highly dubious as to whether I would have made it through without Scott's presence.  There were many times he had to pick me up, literally and figuratively.  I thought I was going to fall apart. 

I would have been one fortunate girl if all I had were Scott; however, I had many many people who helped me through my grieving process.  Kindness and love radiated from my friends, strangers, and my mom. 

Whatever happens, I've always tried to remember that they sun comes up, every morning.

YMCA

I was rifling through my baby's CD collection to rip for my ITunes.  He has about two to three hundred CD's (he apparently likes music). 

I like going through other people's CD's cause I think it tells a lot about a person.  He has the typical TOOL, NIN, Alice in Chains, and STPilots to appeal to his manly side.
Then he has Al Green, BB King, and other Blues artist to appeal to his softer side.
Then I found this:  The Complete Collection of the Village People.
Tell me this...what side does that CD appeal to?!?
