The End of Another Chapter

What's up rock stars? How YOU doin?'

I decided that for once I would write first and title later.
Below is the debut video for one of my top favorite performers the divine Mr. Adam Lambert. Can I say that he is an immaculate vocalist and his style is similar to that of what I would want mine to be as a performer? Oh well, if I can't say it, I already did. Too late. Sorry...

ABC had recently announced that he is scheduled to perform and be interviewed by the ladies of the View. I am glad that ABC is making an effort to put this whole thing behind them. I will not rehash what I've already written on Facebook but I will say that he does not deserve to be subjected to anything other than fair treatment. But I love the music video. I just hope others see this and get the idea of what the piece is supposed to evoke, not what they think it's saying to them on stage during the AMA's.

In other news, I am closer to identifying what needs to be done to my "sickly vehicle" (i.e. a radiator replacement, brake work to restore the missing pressure, and stoppage of the oil leak.) That will be accomplished with the acquisition of....

...A JOB! Funny you should mention that. I had a great interview with the management of Barnes & Noble today. Not getting carried away, but out of the three (or four if you count Old Savannah Tours) this is the best one because we had three things: a good rapport, definite scheduling outlines, and a definite timeline for correspondence.) I will be praying sincerely for this one to go through. I will know by Tuesday though. My interview with Spencer's is on Monday. It would be nice to get both. We shall see how those will work out in the coming weeks. So by January I will have a new start in some way.

I have also decided to grow my hair out into the "twists" or "dreads" that I've been thinking about for months now. Now that I have my piercings I can work on that and then my tattoos.

Those are physical goals. But I have a lot of things I would like to accomplish next year. With 2009 winding down, it is time for me to reflect on what I want to do and formulate plans on how to do those things and most significantly, ENACT those plans.
By this time next year I will have accomplished a major goal in music by creating a project with a good friend of mine (Adam-NOT Lambert, lol) I will be in the process of publishing the book I am working on, I will be living in New York. Life will be a truly interesting and new journey for me, not one of struggle and stress and hurt brought on by my mistakes and people I used to call "close friends". I have to use this down time for something. I have it, so it's time to reevaluate and revamp the Derrell that has existed up to this point. Things need to change inside AND outside (besides, I've got to buff up, too ;-)

(Nice-I'm actually really listening to Adam Lambert's CD right now and really hearing it for the first time-awesome)

(BTW-this is post #20 for me-yay!!)

To new beginnings,
