LIttle things to get excited about...alright that I get excited about.
1.) I have a functioning computer I will probably cuddle with tonight.
2.) I looked on my myspace and noticed that total plays for today: 1, everyone counts.
3.) My CD played in Hastings today. (I found out through a text...even better)
4.) I cut out paper hearts and made little notes for special people far away from me. (I love doing this)
4.) After ice cream and conversation, what came out: I got to eat a flavor that goes back into my childhood, butter brickle
and came to the conclusion that it's perfectly fine for wanting someone to learn about who you are.
5.) As for the Hastings concert, best time. The crowd was spectacular and even though first song was completely rough,
I acknowledged it, laughed, moved on and the show just got better. Thank you to those who came out to see and sing along with me. See you at the next show!
Peace,

One more day
Hey friends,
I have a performance at Hastings tomorrow at 7 pm! I hope people come.
Am I terrified?
Yes, always for a performance.
Will it go well?
I don't know, you will just have to tell me!
Am I excited?
More than you know.
Hope to see you there!

Alittle discouraged
I know you are thinking "Already Casie?". Hear me out. You know those few things you count on when all is going wrong, those things you know you are good at and no matter how bad things are, you still have something to hold on to.
Well, today I was going through some of my songs and things were not clicking for me. Either I was too tense or just wasn’t focusing on my music. Then I go on and listen to covers on Youtube…now it is usually pretty easy to find some entertaining performers. However, I ran into some pretty good singers.
Of course, I start comparing myself. Thinking I am behind times and just don’t measure up. This is a bad thing to do. Not smart Casie. I couldn’t take myself away from the computer. After feeling a little down, I decided to sing through some of my own originals only to find myself not enjoying it at all.
Lesson: don’t compare yourself to other musicians. Learn from them, enjoy what they do and remember, they aren’t you and can’t do the things YOU do well. Ok, got my inspirational Oprah moment out of the way.
After taking a break, I chatted with my colleagues from Vietnam who work at a girls shelter I interned at a couple of summers ago. I told them about my myspace and they listened to my songs. It was an exciting moment for me really. I got to share what I love with people I care about.
Lesson: there will always be someone doing something better than you, looking prettier than you, acting cuter than you, eating healthier than you, becoming more talented than you who also recycle and walk the elderly lady across the street every morning but what makes life so very interesting are the things that matter, those moments shared between you, song and people. They matter.
This is why I do what I do.
Sharing the love,
C
