A Day In The Life

John Mayer. A Solo Artist.

What I Do

 

  In the past year there has been an overflow of opportunities from bands and artists to sing for them.
I'm not quite ready to be a lead singer myself (unless I'm covering them). However it has been
a lot of fun to be part of the process of song writing, recording, press releases, single launch's
and showcases.

I feel very blessed to have been shoved all these opportunities in my face, and to have experienced

the things I have in the past year. As well as the memories I've created with some really awesome

people. It's all very excited and I can't wait for my career to progress and go further than it has,
even just as a back up singer.

Pine

I totally forget where we filmed the music video "The Light" by Belle And The Bone People. It was somewhere passed Peats Ridge, just before Newcastle. It is known as one of the few (perhaps the only) pine forest in NSW and it is spectacularly beautiful.

Note: I'm trying to revive this blog. Mostly for the personal benefit of reading about who i used to be and how i am. It's interesting (and hilarious) to look back at my ramblings. Additionally, I want a source for all the pictures/videos i take in one central location. I know i frequently alternate between my blogger and tumblr, but that's for myself to be the judge of as to whether or not I'm awesome. To which, i am.

UPDATE: 2012 So far

SO WHERE THE HELL HAVE I BEEN?

That's a mighty common question that frequents these parts of the blogging-stratosphere. Yes, yes. I believe so. I think it's only right, for the sake of humanity, that i type down all the new and wonderous things that have been going in my life thus far. However, the real question is where, or how do i even begin to describe all the details of my nineteen year old life?

I'll start first and foremost with quite possibly the most shocking new thing to occur to me to date. I am in a relationship... with a boy! The "Ana" from a few years ago probably would have convulsed at the thought that I am in possession of a man (named Ben Zamor) who has the ability and privilege to turn me into a sappy girl. A girl of which melts at the sight of button-up shirts and skinny ties and jeans when combined with sexy on-stage bass grooves and his winning smile. Thank God this is no longer a public blog, lest he discover how i truly feel about him. No, he knows that i really, truly and deeply like him and am eager to progress in this relationship. It's crazy to think that I am in one. I am still the immature little girl who cringes at PDA (public displays of affection) and is still completely ignorant of the land of relationships and what it entails. Who knew that my immaturity would score me a boyfriend. See! It pays to be a goof 99% of the time!

Another detail of my life is that I am reigniting my passion for loving God, loving people and serving God again. I don't intend to jump straight back into ministry, but it's like I am at the beginning of my walk again. Falling sincerely in love with God, and knowing full well the grace I am living under. It is amazing. It is refreshing. And it has come at a time when i really do need Him. Last year I was a rebellious prodigal daughter and I had become so bipolar with my identity that the healthiest option for myself and others was to step aside. I let a lot of people down. Looking back on it, it's unfortunate that I stepped down, however it has allowed me to grow in God solely and allow Him to fill me again. Not ministry, not the people i served or served with, just God. I am beginning to remember the satisfaction spending each day with Him was like and the desire to read His word and be inspired. Ah, I'm very excited.

My career is also taking off. Look i'm really tired and ....

2012

So, a lot of new things have been happening and i need somewhere to express myself. Hmm, i remember this place. This blogspot of mine. This sanctuary of secrets. The home of some of my deepest opinions and heartfelt ambitions.

I've changed. I'll admit to that. In the past year I've journeyed from one peak of who i was journeying to the next, with my current coordinates indicating that i'm in the in between. I'm trudging through a valley wadding my way down the river, i can see both peaks and i know what'd be like to climb them again, but i'm still deciding which one i should be, or if i can really keep up just sticking to the valley... not afraid of an rocks or boulders falling on me.

I'll admit. In regards to where i stand in my faith, i'm much more open-minded. And i like it like that. I know who i am in my faith, and i no longer want to be held back by religious preferences other people want me to adapt into my life. I don't think i could ever go back to that. A close friend of mine said that i was a progressive person, and that was a great compliment to me. I believe in moving forward, not to forget the past, but to acknowledge what once was and use that to guide the future.

I like someone. HAHA. I feel so sad and retarded because I'm so comfortable being a sarcastic ice queen who never ever-ever allows myself be vulnerable to the opposite sex. That's all I'll say on that topic, lest these words get out into the stratosphere. Even though I am for certain that this blog is private. Oh gosh.

What else do i have to share for my life? I think i'll leave it at that for now.

Oh i'm turning 19 in a few days, and i'm doing a gig that night for Brendan Jacquet should be good. :)
