The Most Astounding Fact

Wow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D05ej8u-gU

We're Alive (and that's cool)

So, the world didn't end (just incase you didn't notice). I think we all can agree this is pretty much a good thing. Listen, we all knew we were going to be fine and no one really jumped up to make any significant confessions. But you have to admit that, maybe only for a second, you thought of what you would say and to whom if by chance (or by Mayans) meteors were to start raining from the sky. Honestly schools been so hellish I was maybe looking forward to something interesting today. And honestly of you're like me you have to admit you might have loved an excuse to tell a few people how you really feel. What you really think of them. Or maybe... Well I don't know. Well I do but this blog, and however under read, is a bit to public for my liking.
   Doesn't this make you think about about everything we're scared to do? To accomplish? Maybe it's a clishé but I have regrets. Everything I never admitted and never got to do. It's like my own world ends a little when I think about it. Instead of saying what I need to, I've channeled my heart and soul into a few paintings. And I'm proud of them. I'm actually so proud of them. I take what should be said and I show it instead. And I guess that works. Except the one person they were really made for can't know. I paint because "sad" can't begin to truly explain what my paintings can. Don't worry I'm not going ballistic teenage girl on you. I just mean sad isn't the word. It's hard to describe.
   And yeah. But more than anything I guess the thought of the world's ultimate peril put my goals into perspective. What do I want my life to look like? And how am I going to get there. I will work as hard as it takes to get where I dream of being. And I'll always be here to tell whoever will listen about my road to glory and the amazing people who get me there.the world can't end untill there are a million midnighters. :) and It's going to be legendary.
   happy we're all alive day!

From the Bottom of the Stairs to the Top of the World

   Alright then. I've got to say it: One Direction. Whatever your opinions on the boy band may be, just a few hours ago they performed at Madison Square Garden, NYC. And whatever your opinions an the boy band may be, they changed my life, and they changed it for the better. Madison Square Fucking Gardens. They've achieved everything I've ever dreamed of achieving, starting out as nothing more than what I am today. Aspiring artists who each took a risk to become bigger then they could ever dream. They had nothing to loose, and everything to gain from chasing their dreams. The least we can do as fans is the same. "Dreams are like stars; you may never touch them, but if you follow them, they will lead you to your destiny." -Liam Payne. Geoff Payne used to drive his 15 year old son to gigs for audiences of 10. Today Geoff Payne watched as his 19 year old son performed for the sold out arena. He reached the stars, and all I could want is the chance to try. Niall Horan was asked 2 years ago what his dream was. He replied "To perform at Madison Square Garden." Yesterday he got to tweet @NiallOfficial:" Lying in my bed , cannot sleep ! Madison square garden is like 15 hours away! A performers dream coming to life #1DinMSG" They are living the dream. And they have an amazing support system and fan base. Their amazing families made them who they are.  And maybe one day they'll hear about how their dream inspired me. They'll hear my story and the role they played in it. But for now, even though I know they'll never see this, thank you. Thank you Harry, Niall, Louis, Liam, and Zayn. Thank you for daring to dream. Thank you for inspiring me. I've never been more proud of complete strangers.  We are directioners, and we may follow a different compass, but we will follow you boys to the ends of the earth. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you. We are proud of you. We really do love you boys. So congratulations. You've earned it. You did it.
