Recently, someone shown me a video of a grandpa hammering his grandson's PlayStation.
I don't know if Grandpa was angry;
and
I don't know if Grandson was upset.
The other night I pulled a small Grandpa. No electronic was destroyed during my small Grandpa.
I really wanted my "grandson" to put his electronic away.
For the last year, I have been finding it hard to listen to "pop" music being broadcast on the radio. It is the same depressing music being played over and over again.
It is really taking a toll on me. I thought there are more to life than teenagers or young adults singing about their first few heart breaks.
What happened to music about other things in life.
It is so sad to turn on the radio and hear a musician ranting about their ex or trying to say they are ok with their break ups.
Some songs are on repeat for more than a year. I wonder if the musician is actually over the person yet their sad love song is still being blast by the radio station.
I am not a fan and I probably never will be if their break ups are the only source of inspiration for their music.
It's ironic that I decided to write my thoughts on Britney on a Dreamy Thursday. There was not a McDreamy in Grey's Anatomy, but I stopped watching them many many many seasons ago. Anyhow, I would like to believe that Britney Spears took the title of McDreamy many years ago.
It is not the first time I am blogging about Britney. If I remember about my own blog correctly, I have already posted what I wrote about her in elementary school after I tried to draw her in art class.
One thing that I hear a lot from the professionals about Britney is that she was a great performer. One regret that I believe Britney has is that she was not born with stronger vocals or singing power. If what I assume was correct, I wonder if her thoughts changed and I have not caught up with any public announcements yet. In her early years, she was the best model to a lot of wonderful kareoke songs. They were slow, easy to listen to, happy to sing along to and you get the idea.
It is many years later. I have yet to see a live performance. I wonder if she was to redo her entire first album and make it her own. I wonder how it would sound like. Sort of like a cover of your own first major hit album. All of your songs that you were first known for, sing by you but perhaps interpreted with your view, thoughts and emotions now. The lyrics in her first albums were pretty simple and she had less life experiences when she first performed it.
I was just singing baby one More Time to myself this morning and thought how it could be sing in a different funny way. There are just too many ways if you don't stick with the well known way of performing or singing that song. It's a fun song, it can be a sad song, it can be a play on words song. You just need to put your performance spin on it ;)
I have to make a confession, I put her first CD on repeat when I was playing pokemon blue, red and yellow. I know her songs very very well. It takes many hours to attempt to collect them all and never manage to get them all because there are still more pokemon out there!
She sang about Soda Pop in her first album.
In my final year of university, I applied to the job marketed as "The Best Job In the World". It was an Island Caretaker job situated in Australia. Many people applied and it was hyped at the time. Time flies, it's now, I believe, a decade later.
Recently, I've seen some very inspirational video about living life the way you want to. Quitting your "unfulfilling" day job to live a normadic lifestyle, as a pirate or back to basics.
Out of all the videos I watched, the person who inspired me the most was a log cabin building mister. I don't think I am much of a normadic person and definitely don't want to travel all the time.
For myself, it would make more sense to own a piece of undeveloped land and just build a tree village! I would enjoy walking around the wilderness as a proud island owner. I can build canopy bridges and more.
Now, I am very private person requiring lots of space. In a dream scenario, I would be more capable than reality. I am not a fisherwoman, I cannot operate a boat, I cannot fix a car, I have no contruction skills, I cannot fly an airplane. Even if I have enough money to buy an island, I cannot get there by myself, which means I will have to pay for services. Even if I have a vision of how I want to build on an island, I do not have the skills to execute it.
For now I guess I can just start sketching on a sketch book. I think it would be fun to build on an island for yourself and a tiny group of people you allow on your island on a very occasional basis.
If I had an island, I would first have to explore it so I can put stuff on it that fits the terrain. Zip lining would be a necessity to save time and resources. No gas or electricity required.
Anyhow, it's too hard to write everything I imagined I would do on my own private island.
I guess, perhaps, if I was stranded on an island because of some shipwreck and I was the sole survivor, then I will dream big. I am stuck on an island for who knows how long. Actually, now with planes flying everywhere and satellite dishes everywhere, it's pretty hard to get into a Bermuda triangle type of situation. At least I think that's the case in Canada. Anyhow, if I was stuck on some island with whatever is left from the wreckage of the ship, I can think about developing that island I am stuck on and build my tree house village. Unfortunately, I will have no reference materials and will have to learn from trial and error.
Maybe one day I'll be an island owner and build my dream tree house village.
For now, I can head over to Canadian Tire and buy my first Solar Panel and install it on my roof. A few shingles fell off. I thought I could cover that area with a solar panel. It is on sale this week.
Perhaps I should write out my dream (of being an island owner) so that I can write a plan to make it a reality because developing an island is really a life long journey. While making it a reality, I will gain many important life skills that, I believe, a lot of people never gain.
