Today is yet another day in my winter break in which I sit at home and do nothing of any particular importance and think of things I could be doing right now. I decided to blog a little list of some creative-type ideas I have for the future, especially regarding my musical future and my YouTube videos. There's been some things that I've wanted to create a video about, but I get too caught up in my talking and end up not putting as much into my videos as I was hoping to do, so here are some of my ideas that I still want to carry out:
1) The unrealistic expectations society has for girls.
Basically, all people are different, and it's not fair that we are taught to believe what we are born with is not beautiful. I am particularly outraged by expectations for body type/weight and things like eyebrows, makeup, and lip/other facial hair. Guys say all the time that they want a girl who is confident, but how can you expect them to be confident when the same guys are judging girls on their appearance and labeling them as hot or ugly?? Disgusting.
2) Awkward dance moves
I often find myself in the middle of awkward situations, and since I'm no good at de-awkward-ifying things, I rely heavily on playing up the awkward and making it comical. It works...sometimes. One particular case where this technique comes into play quite often is when I'm at a dance or just dancing around with friends or family. Sometimes, I can dance decently, but sometimes I just can't, so instead of looking accidentally ridiculous, I have a set of overly awkward dance moves that I pull out when I don't know what else to do. I thought I would share them with the world...
3) Montage of 2010
I have a little camcorder that I take EVERYWHERE with me, and as a result, I have lots of footage of things that happened throughout the year, some of which is really funny. I want to make a little montage of this footage, but I have so much that it wouldn't fit into one video. Therefore, I thought I would make a few different montages, strategically planned so that there is a common theme among the footage involved in each. I was thinking maybe like, one of just my brother, one of other members of my family, a holidays one, one of just my Aunt Care, random funny things, and I don't know what else. The only problem is, a lot of them have sound that I would want included, but some I would be okay with having a song playing in the background. So yeah, that's a work in progress.
4) Odd things that I love
Just a list of the strange quirks of me, and the weird things that I love.
5) Music videos
not sure what songs to use yet, and I gotta do it before I leave, because I need my family for these
6) 5 minutes of nonsense
Something I started when I was about 10 years old. I just talked in front of a camera for 5 minutes about whatever I felt like talking about, and it was actually quite funny. I think I'll try it again.
And then, some other, non-video ideas:
1) Booklet thinger for my ex-roommate Tara
I've already started this, I just need to pull myself together enough to finish
2) The Lion Sleeps Tonight
I started recording myself doing all the parts to this song on garage band, but I have no way of doing the little bongo drums, or the other drums in the background. AND last night listening to it, I notice a little bass line that I never noticed before. Basically, I'm still working on how to portray the non-vocal stuff.
3) Learn to play guitar
I got a guitar a while back for Christmas, and I really want to play it. I just don't know how. So, I'm gonna try and learn, whether it be by taking lessons, watching a tutorial, or getting some sort of book. I'm going to learn to play guitar.
4) Improve on the piano, and then learn to play songs that I like
pretty self explanatory
So there you have it.
It's been swell!
I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
sayin' eyo, gotta let go
I wanna celebrate and live my life
sayin' eyo, baby let's go
