Something to do with nothing.

So, I don't have a real reason to be posting right now except that I just feel like it. I feel like I've got a million things on my mind right now and I don't know what to do or say to get them cleared up. So if I seem to just be rambling about nothing, then you know why.
So, I just found out like, maybe a couple of days ago, that Gerard Butler (okay, before I finish this sentance, I want to let anyone that smokes know that I really have nothing against you, and I am NOT trying to diss or get down on smokers. I'm sure that if you do smoke, you are completely aware that it is a terrible health risk, and I understand completely that it is your decision what you do with your body.) is a smoker. I can't believe it though! I mean, if you are an athlete, a singer, an actor, someone who does a lot of public speaking... you do not smoke because smoking ruins your voice. Well, I just assumed that since Gerard Butler has such an amazing singing voice, and a very sultry speaking voice, an amazing athletic build, and a very pearly white smile, that he couldn't possibly be unhealthy in any way. Man, I guess I was fooled. I mean, it totally wouldn't bother me if it was just some normal actor that isn't as multi-talented as Gerard, but for him to do something that is such a risk to all of his amazing talents, it just blew me away. Really, I think the reason that it got to me so bad was because I really started to look up to him as an inspiration to want to be as talented as he is. And now I don't find him as hot as I thought he was. I also was wondering, before I found out about all of this, why he didn't look as young as he is, and now I'm guessing that it is from the effects of smoking. Aaaaaa, it just kills me to know that he is just throwing away his voice for something like that.
Anyhoo! I'm so so so so so so sorry if anyone is offened by that. I really don't mean to be rude. It's just my opinion, that in the real world, means absolutely nothing, so don't even take it to heart, please!
Well, on a happier note (ha, note... that ironic because of what I'm going to talk about...) I just turned in my audition form for Solo Festival that is held at my high school. It is to determine who gets to go to State Solo Festival and, I guess, compete against other singers from High Schoolers all over the state. I had to go get my new song book with the song I am going to sing. It is call "Bist Du Bei Mir" by Bach. I am really excited to start learning it when I go to my next voice lesson! Yay! I really hope that I do good enough to get into State Solo. That would be awesome! I'm not going to get my hopes up though, because if I don't make it this year, I can still make it next year, and by this time next year, I will be a much better singer than I am now. It would still be cool to make state though, as a Junior. Along with the music thing, I don't know if I already mentioned this, but I am going to call a man that works for Opera Idaho and see if I can get an audition to be in the Opera Chorus. I am really excited about that, but I haven't made the phone call because I don't know what to say, so I'm going to talk to my friend's dad, who makes a living basically by calling complete strangers on the phone and talking to them, and ask him what I should say so that I sound a little more professional about it. I just want to make a good first impression, even over the phone. Well, I guess that's all for now. Take it easy, and don't party unless I'm there. Blog in heavenly peace!
