3 songs that matter

So I was listening to my Christina Perri station on Pandora, and three songs came up that really spoke to me. The first one was called Beautiful Disaster and it's by Jon McLaughlin. It basically tells the story of a girl who is so beautiful in her own way but doesn't see it because of what she sees in magazines and such. It's so sad but has such a wonderful message. We girls need to fight back against the world telling us what is beautiful. I could care less about pop culture, but I still think I'm beautiful. Different, but beautiful.

The second song was Love Has No Color by Alisa Turner. I kinda forgot what it was about but I liked it.

Don't judge me.

The last song is called Farewell by Rosie Thomas. It's so sad, but wonderful. If you're heartbroken, you should definitely listen to it. It makes you feel better.

Yay for Pandora and new songs!

On the topic of dance..........

If you don't know (which you probably don't) I have a deep love for dance. So You Think You Can Dance? is my favorite reality TV show, and, on a more recent topic, I have fallen in love with a web series (only available on Hulu) called The League of Extraordinary Dancers. LXD for short.

Two words people. Dance Fighting.

It's basically about two groups, the LXD and the Uprising. Obviously, the LXD are the good guys. Each of the recruits not only is absolutely fantastic at dancing, but also have some sort of power related to that style of dance. What's amazing about this show is that it tell stories just through dance. There's very little talking, except by the narrator at the beginning of every episode. And the music is AWESOME!!!!! And... And.... And...... Lil C (a choreographer from SYTYCD and a master of krump) is in it!!!!!! And..... And....... AND...... the Asian guy from Glee is in it!!!!!!!!!! (I also love Glee.)

I love this show so much. :).

The main point of this post, however, is not to discuss my love for the LXD and convincing you all to watch it (which you all should. Right now. This instant.). It's about the importance of us having dance heroes. I mean, think about it. All of the most famous dance heroes (Michael Jackson, Gene Kelly, etc.) have either died or made way for the world of pop stars. But these people could be our generation of dance heroes. The ones that inspire a new generation of dancers. All we have to do is watch, and support them. And, heck, that's not hard at all when you're watching the coolest thing you have ever seen.

I'll post a link to some of their performances. The TED one better explains what I was talking about.

Peace.

Here goes nothing..........

This is going to be the blog that survives.

As in, I will not forget about it and write at least once a week.

Here, I shall post stories, poems, lyrics, what's on my mind, whatever. You can comment if you want (It would be great if you did. It makes me feel like I'm not just talking to myself). But this will be where I shoot off stories and I would like some feed back.

For example, I will probably post the first draft of what could be the first chapter of a new story I'm working on. Tell me what you think of it. I will also probably post pictures (if I draw them) of what the characters look like. Please don't criticize those as I know I am a sucky artist.

So, I hope you enjoy reading this blog.
