Heart of Texas

I watched this video and was amazed by the strength and kindness of those who stood up for people they don't even know. I hope if the occasion arises I will be able to do the same. Not just for gay people, but for anyone who is being mistreated.

Music Monday - Annie Lennox

This song helped me through some tough times in high school so it resonates with me still. If you've never heard it, I hope you enjoy it.

Fran Walsh, Howard Shore, Annie Lennox

Into the West

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across a distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass

Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

Spring Has Sprung

It's alive! Er, rather I'm alive! I'm alive and I am so happy that it's spring! The spring might not last too long here, but oh well. The sun has been shining and I'm loving it. I just wish the weather would get on some bipolar medication or something. It's driving me crazy and I want to sucker punch it!

So spring is the time for everything new and I'm hoping this one is the start of something new for me as well. I start a second job next month and am excited to get going. Also it will bring in more cash, which is much needed at this time in my life, although I wish it didn't have to go straight to bills, but such is life! I'm just glad for a new challenge and experience.

I have signed up for an acting workshop that lasts for ten weeks and I can't wait to start greasing my acting chops! It's been too long. I'm very passionate about it, so I hope it will show and that I can be successful in this pursuit. I'm going to work hard and I'll let you know what happens!

Along with the acting, I'm trying to get some modeling things going as well. I've done a couple photo shoots I hope will help build my portfolio so I can start booking some jobs. To help me with this I need to start working out and getting in shape! It's just so hard! Haha. I've been lazy for way too long and laziness is a hard habit to break. It will happen though! It has to happen.

Life has been rough the last few months, but I'm taking things in stride because it's all I can do. It's all anyone can do really. Sometimes life throws its trash at you and you have to go dumpster diving and maybe, just maybe you'll find some treasure. I'm searching for my treasure!
