Almost Friends

Nirvana

In my last post, I mentioned I was in a band/collective. Basically, the group consist of three main people, which is, Myself, Aaron(Best Friend) and Matt(boyfriend)… BUT, our friend Dusty Bottoms is part of the collective… more than not.

This is a picture taken by: Aaron Derus.

So I’m not sure who it was…? either Matt or Aaron had this great idea to do a cover album, and they chose Nirvana’s Nevermind. I was a little reluctant because I mean it’s Nirvana. How could we top that, but during the process of preparing, brainstorming and ect. I realized it was a project to just have fun with.

So we all decided to take on 3 songs…which included absolute creative freedom, whether that was changing it completely into an instrumental jazz duet or doing a slam poetry version. Endlesss possibilitiesss!

Anywho, I got the great pleasure to take on: Lithium, Come As You Are and Smells like Teen Spirit. I have a demo of Come as You Are… I’m actually almost done with it. As for Lithium, I have a shaky demo of it and a pretty concise idea!

I don’t want to spoil it toooo much, but I’m really excited to get this project done! It’s going to be aaaawweeesoooommmeee!

Who am I?

I guess I feel that I should introduce myself to whomever may be reading this…

My name is Brit, not BRITTANY. I despise the name Brittany, not because everyone and their parent’s decided to name every little girl by the crazed pop queen “Britney Spears” herself, but solely on the fact… it’s just not me. When someone from a far yells out, “Brittany..” I always wonder who they are talking to. It takes me about 10 seconds or longer to realize they are talking to me (unless it’s my mother yelling at me or something like that.) BUT! Enough about my name..

I turned 21 in December and now enjoying the life of a young adult. I have “few” close friends and always looking for more. I have an amazing boyfriend/best friend. I’m an awesome listener, and some what of a wallflower. I’m never the life of the party, but always having a good time. I consider myself creative, laid back, optimistic.. basically an, Idealist. But, just recently I discovered that I strive for perfection (idealist), I have high expectations for everything that I do or involves me.. which usually leaves me feeling very disappointed. Never in a million years did I ever think I was someone who would strive for perfection. It was brought to my attention when I had a conversation with my boyfriend, Matt. He gave me great advice and one quote stuck with me… “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”. I’ve been thinking a lot about that quote and everyday I’ve been trying to set myself up for good to happen and to just let things roll. Which is why I’ve decided to blog about ME AND ONLY ME!

This is me:

I’m a student, and working a part time job. I’m learning how to sew and I have a feeling I’m going to be excellent one day. I enjoy photographing how I feel and think. I have a hard time with words, I suck at writing (but trying to get better). I’m a cat lover and have two beautiful kitties. I enjoy tattoo’s and good music. I’m in a band/collective. Some of the best time’s I’ve had is smoking hookah in my room. I love to travel, hike, occasionally climb rocks. I love underwater and swimming. I want to do so many things and hopefully this blog will help me achieve some of those things.

I could say so many things, but I got to save those for other days! I hope you all of you come back and read about my life endeavors.
