Well, I fell rather neglectful of this blog since I haven't written in like a month, even though I never wrote regularly before.☺ Anyway, I really have no idea what to write about, I just felt like writng something. I'm really happy because I have finally mostly unblocked my stagnant creative juices. I finally got around to putting all my Enya albums back on my iPod the other night. Today after a test I had a chunk of free time and so I pulled out my ragged notebook to see if I could form a few lines, and plugged my ipod into my ears. The minute the first haunting strains of "Smaointe" began to wind thorugh my ear canal, the words began to flow. I think I wrote five pages today; an amount that is seemingly small, but it's the best I've done in months!
I was thinking today, we never know how far our families go, or who we could be related to. I mean, the farhter out you track (4th, 5th, 6th cousins etc) the higher chance you have of being related to someone famous...or infamous. I learned two years ago that Mike Farrell, the guy who plays B.J. Hunnicut on the tv show M*A*SH is actually like my fourth cousin on my dad's side. It's so awesome! I even got to meet him a two summers ago when he was here for a book signing, that was amazing. The scariest thing though, is that you can really see the resemblence between him and my dad. They even make the same expressions! I was watching M*A*S*H the other day, and one of the expressions that B.J. was one that I've seen so many times when my dad's really pissed...it kind of freaked me out a little bit. :)
Then last summer I learned that my mom's first cousin is Robbie Rasta, the lead singer and bass guitarist for the reggae group Militia of Love. Granted they're not totally famous, but they still have a fan base that I can laugh at and say "haha, he's my cousin" xD.
I also know that I'm related to about half of the city....including a few of my gradeschool adn junior high classmates.....but we try to keep that part a secret and pretend that we have know idea. :P
So I have absolutely no idea why I'm posting this, becuase I don't think anyone actually reads this ;) (which could be a good thing in the long run.....) but here you go world, here's what I gotta say.
Al bailar!
Adios y buenas noches
