Dash did 2010

Well. My sister flatmate deleted me off Facebook. Insulted much!? Also found a Christmas card on the bench with my name on it... had no idea I'd received it! That's okay - I'll be gone in three months. I admit living arrangment/conditions have very little to be desired, but it's a roof. The last few months I have grown more than I ( could have imagined. I have also gained a new found direction that is oh so solid. No one can shake this kid.

Had a Diet Coke and two Cadbury "Rose" chocolates for breakfast this morning - so fucking healthy ;-) All the while, thinking about "The Farmer" - thinking "Why is he always on my mind!" It's not a bad thing - just... come on Dashy!! There are so many other things to think of.

Lunch was half a Chicken and a Bread Roll... Wolfed that down in 15 minutes - Guts!

Here it is. The wrap up. The scattered wrap up - who am I kidding!? It wouldn't be a Dashy Blog otherwise!

January - Started with a bang! Scored the lead role in a low budget feature film - to be shot in Cuba! Got the script, signed the contracts, rehearsed my arse off. This was my big break.
February - Kept on rehearsing, thinking "Wow! No more unpaid short films... I'm going to get paid for something I love". I quit my job at the gym.
March - Kicked me in the guts. The film funding falls through & find out the director did a dodgy! Fuck! No day job... Atleast I have the bar work to go back to.
April - Spent that month working at the bar and at a xxx adult store (reception.. ) April I felt pretty sorry for myself. "Oh woe is me"
May - I land a job as a Barrista in a new cafe. Two weeks later, after many empty promises. I resign.
June - I put pen to paper again, and begin writing out thoughts, poems, lyrics
July - Was a very taxing month emotionally. The last six months had built to this. Ending contact with "The Crush". On the plus side, I reunite with two very dear friends. One who now has a gorgeous little girl. The other who was finally moving on and up in her career and life! Was great to see them again.
August - Time to get serious. I register my songwriting label "Son of Lou". And start pumping out some amazing lyrics.
September - Start working at a new gym and start recording.
October - Get taken out to dinner with the amazing new gym crew I work with. Concentrate on music, me and work.
November - Competed in a charity fun run and came First Place. I can't explain that feeling of winning. I hadn't won anything in such a long time. My time to shine has begun again. Aint no stopping Dash! Get taken to the movies with gym crew.
December - Go Ten Pin Bowling with gym crew. Have an incredible time bonding with the team outside of work. Finally purchased a cell phone. I travel interstate. I have my first gig. I meet new wonderful people. I found an old lyric pad from earlier on, and realized why I am here on Earth. Planned and designed my new tattoo. Started my new Vision Board while eating the other half of my chicken.

A little wrap up, of the year that seemed to drag on.


More randomness.

*Hearing the music on an old video game almost made me sick to the stomach. It brought back so many memories. I only ever played it when I was in trouble, or when the parents fought.

Muse~You are all kinds of wonderful.
There's a glow that surrounds you, illuminates you.
You're my new found inspiration.
The very thought of you motivates me.
You put the stars in my eyes.
You make my spirits soar.
All I want to do is sing for you.
Just a Silly Little Love Song.
Guitar across my knee, picking out a melody.
I want to be the one.
Tell me, I'm the one.~
A wave of inspiration poured over, and out of me, onto page, after page of lyrical gold. Flowing like honey.

Maybe it's the No-Doze?
Maybe it's the 8 hours sleep I got?
Maybe it's life?
Whatever it is.... I feel fantastic.. LIFE IS FUCKING AMAZING

Thank you for reading and supporting me throughout 2010 - I hope to do the same for you, one way or another in 2011

Have a SAFE, HAPPY, ABUNDANT New Year - May you get what you truly want :-)

This is Dash xoxo
