Haven't been on here in a while. Haven't really found new and exciting things to write about. Months have flown by. Can you believe that it is already the end of May?
At the begining of this year I started a relationship with a guy who I was in love with. Unfortunately this relationship was long distance. I know, I know, they don't work out. That is everyone's opinion at least. I felt that I had the love in my heart to be with this person for the rest of my life and make things work no matter how hard they became. Funny how everything can be turned around in a moments time. I loved this person with all my heart and still truly care for him, but love is now lost. There is no going back to what i once felt. I can't deny my feelings nor pretend to love him still. It is just not my character. In telling him how I felt, I know I crushed his feelings. How else could I have done it? I am no liar. Can't live a lie. Just had to do what was right.
I guess I'll keep on ramblin'. And find the king of all my dreams.

Don't you think it is kind of funny that they send you an e-mail stating what you should not do to prevent getting banned? Especially since I did not break any of these rules, but was banned anyway. Hmmm.. In the words of Robert Plant "It really makes me wonder.."
How ignorant can people really be? I was banned for posting a thread asking for people to add me as a friend.. Appearantly people are too stupid to realize that I am not a spammer (as stated in the second thread posting) and that I just wanted some people to chat with about music.. nothing else.. but now I guess I am banned for false reasonings because people like to start drama over the internet.. And people were telling me to get a life..
Wow.. It sure has been a while since I last posted. Today I am writing this blog in blue because its how I feel. Even with the sun shining bright outside and the beautiful smell of spring in the air, I still can't help but feel a little blue. Ever have one of those days? My last post was about me performing at my school, and I wanted to thank all those who replied. I really appreciate the great advice that you all have awarded me. It really came in handy. I thought I would give you guys a little over view of how my performance went. So, with out further ado, here goes: Everyone present for the assembly was seated and waiting axiously to get their awards. The adminstrative staff felt that I should perform first to get the crowd pumped. I waited nerviously on the side as they welcomed everyone. I remember feeling nervous, and thinking to myself, "I don't want to control my nerves. I want to use them as a tool." And that is exactly what I did. "And here we have for our entertainment pleasure: Sarah Nye!" Holy crap that is me! Show time. Nerves are creeping up my throat as I walk out, guitar in hand. I greet the crowd. "Hey! How is everyone doing today? Are you ready to get your awards?!!" Crowd cheers. "I put together this medley for all the people who will be recieving awards today, but mostly for those who are graduating this quarter." Crowd cheers even louder. First part of the medley (Bad Moon Rising - CCR). I start strumming. The crowd is silently listening not knowing what to expect. I start singing, as I did the many times I practiced, thinking to myself, "Hey, this isn't so bad." Crowd is still quietly listening. Strumming gets a little softer. Second part of the medley (Proud Mary - CCR) I am way into it now and the crowd can tell. They start cheering. I was kind of taken aback. I didn't expect this sudden cheering. The crowd is now singing and clapping a beat to go along with me. The nerves you wonder? Replaced with this wonderful feeling of endorphins rushing through my body. I hit every note and chord perfectly. And on that last chord the crowd goes WILD! Standing up clapping and cheering. SUCESS!! With a huge smile on my face, I take a bow, thank them, and run off stage. At this moment I can't help but run through the halls feeling extremely good about this performance that I had just completed. I reflect how I felt before I got up there and how I felt after. I felt as if my nerves helped me in a way. It got me pumped up and helped me get the crowd pumped up. I have always had the dream of performing for people. I now know that this is what I am supposed to do in my life. The high I got just from that one performance is beyond words. I felt that this was a sign of how much love and passion I have for music and performing. And that I should.. no no.. I must and will pursue a musical career. Watch out everyone because here comes Sarah Nye to take the music scene by storm
So, a few weeks ago I did a class assignment called Song of Self. The instructions were to pick a song that means something to you and present it to the class. I chose the song Boss DJ by Sublime and decided that I would bring in my guitar to perform it for the presentation. It went really well. My class enjoyed it as did my teacher. She suggested that I perform at the next awards assembly and I said that would be really enjoyable for me. I love performing for people.
Yesterday I found out that the awards assembly is on Thursday the 13th and I will be performing in front of the students, as well as the teachers and staff. I chose to perform a couple of Creedence songs: Bad Moon Rising and Proud Mary. I am going to intertwine them together to have a nice fun performance. I am extremely excited. I don't feel too nervous about it yet, but I know I will when Thursday comes. Just wondering how I should deal with my nervousness because I notice that when I get nervous my voice gets shaky and doesn't sound up to its potential. If anyone has some advice for me to overcome my nervousness I would greatly appreciate you sharing. Also let me know what you think of the song choice. Thanks!
I hope you all have a wonderful day and rest of the week!
I took a little online quiz for fun and this is what I got.. HAHA!
***You Should Play the Accordion***
You are eccentric, funky, wacky... definitely one of a kind. People have trouble putting you in any one particular category. You definitely have your own thing going on.
You are a born entertainer. No wonder you'd be perfect as an one man (or one woman) band. Your musical influences likely cross all genres - and blend together in a very unusual way.
While you are definitely offbeat, you also enjoy tradition and influences from the past. It's just your style to take an old fashioned instrument like the accordion and make it uniquely yours.
Your dominant personality characteristic: your total inhibition
Your secondary personality characteristic: your interest in obscure activities and subjects
After using this site for years.. I have finally figured out that you can actually have a profile.. So, now I propose a question to all my fellow guitar players/lovers.. I have been playing guitar for about 6 years now. I taught myself for the most part, but also gained knowledge from other people and simply "jamming" with folks. Well, about six months ago, I moved 135 miles away from my home and I don't really have anyone to jam with anymore. I absolutely love playing guitar. It is my chill time..Burn a little then feel the music take control of my fingers and let those riffs fly! :P Anywho.. I am starting to feel really bored with my playing lately. I guess I am just wondering if it is just a phase? Or if it's the fact that I don't really have anyone to jam with? I would like to know what you folks think.. So, if you have read this far you might as well leave me a comment -Sarah
