The Life and Times of a Hunter/Gatherer...

...I have the biggest urge to be really sarcastic and make cave-paintings to express this assignment (a journal entry of a day in the life of a hunter/gatherer...), for I've never like these fake-journal things... but ANYWAY...

~Day 12 of the Seventh Moon Cycle~

The great move has started. As the prey move and flee the cold, so do we of the Tribe.

We pack up our few worldly posessions and follow in their tracks along ancient paths.
So is the order of things, so has it always been, so it shall always be.

On a more personal note, the shaman has finally accepted me as a pupil. My parents are quite proud of me- as their only child, and eldest daughter, there was not much hope in me amounting to anything of great worth... Although I have finally proved them wrong.
As the new apprentice, many things were taught to me today as we trekked along, such as which herb does what, and where to find them... I hope I can remember them all! the shaman is not one to be dealing with the rambling mind of a young girl. I can only hope that I don't dissapoint too badly...

you won't break me, you won't take me...

"You won't break me

You won't make me

You won't take me

Under blood red skies

You won't break me

You won't take me

Ill fight you under blood red skies..."

Judas Priest, album Ram it Down, song Blood Red Skies

LOL slooooooow-moooo soooolooooo...

*ahem* ENNYWAIZ...

I bought (well, Daddy bought for me :) ) an awesome magazine aaaaall about the late Randy Rhodes (RIP Randy :( ). I thought my idol and fav player was Yngwie Malmsteen, but... Rhandy is just... wow. Not faster, but... better. *shrugs* So I have this awesome issue of Guitar Legends. And it's great. It makes me happy. It's got tabs and interviews, so I know more about him and I can be all inspired...

I dunno. It's cool to get to see a little piece of your heroe's life and be all, "...Wow. I can do this, I can make it, too." Sure, I gotta work at it, but everyone has their dreams. I want to write music, I want to have people go, "Oh, yeah, I have that album by her! She's awesome!" Or at least "She's good."

One of the worst things someone ever did to me was laugh at me when I said I wanted to be a musician- a rock star, I always say, to give people the 'short answer.' (It's hard to explain what I trully strive for, and it takes too long)

I looked her in the eye and told her that she has no right to squash my dreams, that they're mine and mine alone, and she can't change that. Don't let anyone take your dreams, 'cuz when you think about it, they're all you've got. They're all you'll ever have. You can be stripped of your posessions, they can think you're a fool, you can maybe never manage to fulfill them, but as long as you hold on, they can never break your soul, 'cuz you'll have hope.

So while some people dream of going to heaven, I dream of making music, sweet, sweet music, that is all my own.
