WHY I CAN'T WAIT TILL NOVEMBER.

Up the drive

Here's a new original i wrote for songwriting class. It's an autobiographical song where there's no rhymes and describes a certain time in my life. I wrote this one about visting my old neighbour and old house in Toronto yesterday. 
If you really wanna know how much this effected me, listen (:

(There are tons of mistakes in the recording but it already took forever so i just left it. here's the lyrics to what i was supposed to say)

"Up The Drive"
It's been 13 years since I've walked this ground
Mama told me so
The cold crisp air that hits my old face
does she remember?
I see her eyes blue as the sea and
hair as white as clouds
broken fraile but her smile still strong
she was beautiful
I look to my left then to my right
all of it's surreal
this house tht once was my home
has grown smaller every time
A dark young boy with greyish eyes
hair curly as can be
"darlin could we please come in?"
"darlin could we please come in?"

Ou- to breathe this one more time
to breathe this one more time
Ou- to see this one more time
to be here one more time

One step in, two steps in
i remember now
pictures of me come racing through 
tears fill my eyes
was that fridge always that small?
was it really true?
was i really here again?
was i really here again?

Ou- to breathe this one more time
to breathe this one more time
Ou- to see this one more time
to be here one more time

Hey white railing i'll race you up the drive

we 'bout to blow up.. on rooftops!

Was so greatly blessed to perform on the Thompson's Hotel rooftop tonight for the relaunch of enRoute magazine. Shit. was. legit. the hotel firstly, was amazing. It felt like i was in a gossip girl episode. Had xylk tag along because i didn't wanna be alone while i performed. it was alright considering the fact that i was just background music to people's networking and conversations. but i was told that people were still listening which is good enough for me (: later on the night got to do a little of my own networking handing out my very amateur business cards and whatnot with xylk. And! saw sheena snively which got me real excited to talk to her and such. tonight was a great night. things are looking awesome! though my school's already kinda suffering and so is my sleep -___- with that being said i should really get started on my homework and take this much needed rest.. P L A IT!

i can't believe i was just there performing... view was AMAZING too!

Plaitwrights x Opera House For Gloc-9 & Bamboo!

Went to church this morning where the priest preached about God having confidence and the faith in us to do anything that will make this world a better place in His eyes. That we will have our doubts and insecurities but really, we shouldn't. knowing that God has a plan and faith in us is all we need to push through towards what we desire in all goodness. I found this in a clear example of what had happened afterwards. The chances were soo slim in having us (plaitwrights) perform for Gloc-9 and Bamboo's sold out, 19+ event at the Opera House. But with much prayer, connections, and very genuine artists, fate pulled though and i never felt so blessed in my life. I can honestly say that without the other half and one quarter (Xylk and Julius) i wouldn't be able to grow as the artist i am slowly turning out to be. I saw the faith and and confidence from God in the two of you and for that, i can feel even more blessed to know the two of you and be able to experience what we just did tonight. I have fully taken in and learned so much today and with that being said, here's to a much needed sleep! p l a it!

Nowhere but up my friends!
