Entry #179

{summary} Hi ho people! All is well here. This past Tuesday I filmed a video of me singing some lounge music with a great pianist named Seiko. I might add the video to this site at some point because I think it will come out really nice. I sang some of the songs that I grew up singing. I did New York State of Mind, Georgia, Summertime, On a Clear Day, and Cry Me a River. New York State of Mind brought back the funny memory of when I was in high school in Vancouver, Washington and I was in choir class. I did a solo for the class and I sang N.Y. State of Mind acapella. I remember the funny looks on people's faces. I interpreted the looks as," What planet did she come from?" " That was not the assignment!" I think we were supposed to pick a song out of the choir book or something. Ah, just like me, I did what I wanted to. I think I knew even back then that my life path would lead me to NYC to sing and follow my dream. Then there was that time in drama class where we were supposed to prepare a monologue and perform it for the class in the auditorium.. I was a very serious ballet student at that time and we were learning the corps de ballet parts of Swan Lake.. Well, I borrowed a white tutu costume from the school and performed the swan dance for my drama class. Once again," What planet is she from??" " That WASN'T the assignment!" But it's what I wanted to do and for me, it was wayyy more fun than the assignment! Then there was that guidance counselor back in the 9th grade; I cut our meeting short when I told her I had no desire to go to college because I was going to be a famous entertainer. I don't think I specified "singer" but I might have. I really wanted to be a dancer back then though. I played in the subway twice last week, only for a half hour each time due to my wrist still healing from strain. Bodies~ gotta have 'em. It's definitely getting spooky around here in Brooklyn. Halloween is almost upon us. I really want to march in the Halloween parade this year. It's really fun! I might partake in the N'Awlins funeral with the Hungry March Band! They're a bunch of N.Y. Burners that really are a marching band. Everyone's dressing in back with ghoulish white face make-up and red adornments. I think it will be fun. I adore Halloween. Burning Man and Halloween are my favorite holidays! For those of you who feel sad; me too. Life's about learning and growth is sometimes painful. If you feel sorry for yourself, it's probably time to look around you and appreciate what you do have; also to appreciate yourself more. Keep on swimming! Jessica {extended}
