Josiah Leming

I seemed to run across this video on one of those nights where all I seem to do is search you tube. This was quite I good find I found out quickly after watching about 2 min. of it. After watching this amazing video of what it seems to be the next great musician, I did some research about this musician that I have never heard of before. This is quite an amazing story, Josiah is his name and He decided to devote his life to music and dropped out of high school is senior year, live in his car, was basically homeless for about 2 years. Then he caught a break, in maybe one of the less likely ways, the good ol’ American Idol. Then from then on this young man has been taking off, signing contracts, selling albums, writing flawless songs and making money. But the real reason that I linked this video to my blog is because this young musician has a lot of what I am striving to find. This video shows complete passion in his music, something is clearly felt by this musician. You can tell this by the way he seems to “Feel” the music, he seems as though nothing else matters when this creating this music. I wish I were brave enough, passionate enough, talented enough, to drop all that is normal (accepted) in my life to pursue something greater as this man did. He took an extreme risk and suffered for awhile but then because he loved what he was doing so much, came out ahead. I believe Josiah is wise beyond his years, he has accomplished more than most grown people I know, has something I think that we all wish to posses and that Is to love something so much that nothing else matters, nothing seems to be as important as that, and to drop everything in order to make that one dream a reality……Have a good night.

Blog Topics

This is my blog, this blog is my own personal blog that i can write about anything that i desire. There is a couple of differences i have noticed already from my blog and the conventions of the others that i have seen thus far. The ones that we have been browsing for the past couple weeks seem to have a very distinct topic about them, whether it be about politics, tattoos, movies, science, religion of any other topics for review/discussion. That seems to be the greatest difference between mine and the rest. Rather than pick one topic that i will try to devote my whole blog too, i am going to work it exactly how my mind works. This could be interesting but i think that it will end up better than a one topic sort of thing. Now instead of confirming what my blog is going to be about i will tell you some of my interests and maybe that will lead you on some sort of path to where iam going to take this. I am very intrested in people, they are the most intersting things on this planet, sit and watch them for a bit and you will understand. Music, i think that music is one of the most important things on this planet, and there are so many people who can put flawless lyrics to melodies that just make life worth more. Science, the truth of what actually goes on to make this world go around, and the way we use science to make life more enjoyable through video games :) Movies, so many good ideas out there that no one has seen. Those are some of the subjects that iam most intrested in, now dont be thrown for a loop when i throw something out of the odrinary in there due to the world around us. Example, The election is coming up soon and i think i need to express some points of view in there as well.... hope you keep reading :)

Well Hey

Interesting name choice i know... i was sitting in last hour and staring off into space and this song by incubus came on my ipod. Aqueous Transmission and i really sat there for about 20 min, just thinking about that title. It really jumped out at me for some reason, no personal reasoning just really like the name.

Lyrics: I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from their holes long ago
Lying face up on the floor of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named emotion
Will I make it back to shore
Or drift into the unknown
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
I'm building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent when I am through
Maybe we'll meet again further down the river
And share what we both discovered...
Then revel in the view
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
