The World is Ours Tonight

I want to start writing on here again... All of my emo used to get out in a blog, then I started being careful about what I said on here because ~people are reading it~ ...but now I'm just emo in 'real life', so screw it.

Someone at my new office (more on that below) noticed theonelove.org sticker on the back of my car, and thought it was interesting that I blogged for a non-profit.  Then I felt bad, becauseI haven't blogged regularly in a while.

Even though I haven't blogged, I still want to support a world where people know they don't have to hurt or kill themselves to get to a spot they want to be in.  So let's see if I can keep the blogging going, and raise even a few pennies for my charity on the site.

Big updates:

1) Right now I'm in Connecticut sitting in a dressing room at the Mohegan Sun Casino.  Words I never thought I'd type. I always dreamt of this kind of experience as a tiny teeny bopper (not the casino part, but the fact that I'm living and working toward a long-term dream/goal).  I used to watch *NSYNC tapes and FANatic and etc and see those backstage areas and just wish I could see one with my own eyes someday.  Now I am painfully aware that it's just another room, just another catering table, and it's just another job.  As I experience more dirty & humid dressing rooms, I hope I never forget that I was 12 when I saw this on TV. I wished for this, and I hope I never stop working for how my 12-year-old self would have felt in this moment.

2) I'm going to (wait for it...) NEW YORK CITY tomorrow!  I'm going to finally see John Gallagher Jr. perform in American Idiot (my only original Spring cast member I haven't seen yet, I think - the only one that MATTERS regardless ;)).  Also, I'm seeing a Korean boyband called 2PM with Slaur, and Neil Patrick Harris is filling in for Regis on Regis & Kelly Monday!  ALSO seeing my amazinggggggg friends :-D Pretty excited.  Gloriana Mike just gave me a suggestion of a place to go in NYC, so hopefully I'll have time for it... it's like an old pirate ship or something...nice.

3) I don't work at Warner Bros. Records Nashville anymore.  Well.  That's a lie, sort of.  We are now Warner Music Nashville.  That weird funk that was going around the office has exchanged itself for a more excited feel.  There's a lot of motivation and talent in the building, and I'm really stoked on it.  But... ready for some honesty... I'm not excited that I had to move offices.  I am now in the Word building on the other music row, and I'm not sure if it's the best thing for me right now.  YES, I'll be with everyone I'm working with now on the new team... but I really wasn't ready for a big office (erm cubicle) change.  I'm horrible with new people, it takes me a looong time to really get comfortable with a new team.  I guess sometimes it's best to just dive in though, right??  Alright, here I go, head first.

4) I am going to V Festival.  Don't know what V Fest is?  http://www.vfest.com Learn it, love it.  I've wanted to go to this for years, and the lineup this year is AMAZING.  I can't wait.  Ohio Lauren is coming too, and we're going to have Strongbow and rave like Annie Mac.

I think that's gonna be it for now... I've got some work to catch up on (big travel day today) and going back to the hotel to craaaash - gotta be out on the road by like 5:15am tomorrow to catch my train. Wish me luck!

I'm just going to sit back here and be cheesy about my job, and soak this all in.
