So here's what I'm thinking.
I want to put up some music that I can can play (maybe even some songs that I've written) and link to them in this blog, but how do I do that with out compromising my anonymity?
Maybe I'll point the camera at the body of the guitar, where I strum.
I feel like I'm at the point where I want to share the fact that I can play with the world, and if only one person watches the videos, then I've touched that one person.
I know that I'm not amazingly talented, but I am me, and that's good enough for YouTube.
Hoping to record today and upload soon,
Whimsy

Where are my age peers?
In the process of poking about on Blogger, I have noticed that there are many, many, many blogs that are written by moms.
These blogs are all about their kids, how they are growing up, and the day-to-day life that they lead.
I see nothing wrong with this, but it makes me feel a tad like (as a teenager) that I may not have the right community for a little blog full of my rantings and ravings.
On the other hand, I rather like my as-of-yet small blog and the way that Blogger is set up (as opposed to LiveJournal) so I shall continue with adding posts and amusing myself.
Do teens use Blogger, or am I the only one? Not that I'd mind being the only teen blogger, but it would be nice to know.
If you are a teen/young adult, leave me a comment to say hello, or if you are not a teen...heck, leave a comment anyway! I'd be interested to know if anyone is reading my collection of thoughts, be they adult, child, or pickle.

A stream of consciousness on music, Disney, princesses, and Barbie.
I think that one of the things that can so unite us as human beings is music.
Really, you don't even need to know the language of the song you are enjoying to know what the mood is, be it euphoric, melancholy, or a bit of both.
There's such a peace that can come over you when you hear that one song that purely covers your mood at the time, and that is truly amazing to me.
I personally will listen to a song twenty or so times in the space of a few days, then I will leave it alone for weeks upon weeks.
Silly songs can give me chills, like "Part of Your World" from Disney's Little Mermaid.
Speaking of Disney, there are exactly two Disney movies that I really like (bordering on love) Lion King 2, not Lion King 1 and Mulan.
Most Disney makes me want to put a stiletto (not that I own one) through the television, particularly the god-awful princess ones. For instance, Cinderella is dreadful, and I think that it's immensely sad that many little girls idolize a female character who is frankly speaking, pathetic.
Poor Cindy is abused by her family, takes no control over her own destiny, and her greatest wish of all is not to get out of the controlling environment that she suffers in daily, but instead to skip out for one night, look pretty for a guy that she's never met, become a person who her family doesn't even recognize, and in the end, the Prince "loves" her for her beauty and nothing else.
Every one of the princesses that the little (and not-so-little) girls adore are useless without their princes, and are so skinny that if they were real women, they'd break in two, just like barbie.
And to end this mish-mash, a fact for you.
Barbie dolls were initially inspired by a "sexually themed gag toy for men".
How gross is that?
Until next time, this has been Whimsy.
Over and out.
