Saturday night I was lucky enough to go see Vienna Teng in concert. Her performance was flawless as usual. I’ve been talking to my friends since then about her performance. We’ve come to the basic decisions that she plays flawlessly, has a great/professional stage presence both between songs and while playing, has a wonderful voice.. and the list goes on. Normally if I think about one person on a keyboard or a piano and singing, my mind doesn’t fill with the fullness and wide-range of melody and tones that Vienna is able to create. Still in awe a few days later. I recommend that you buy her CD and then pass the word along. The music industry seems to be hard enough to inch your way into and when you find a good artist like this, it’s worth it to own a CD or two and to help them out (hey, and you get a legit copy of some cool music.. go figure).
Oh, and yes, there were other performances that night as well. None as good, but Jane was the second best - her dance/rap moves took away from her performance in my opinion. sometimes it almost seemed that her singing would get jerky while she worked out certain “moves”. Two guitar playing guys weren’t all that bad either. The last person who was up (and who played before Vienna) I can’t recall a name for, but she was just singing the wrong tunes. She probably could be really good.
Skye has not visited his cage in over a week since he flew away. The only information I have that leads me to believe he’s alive and well is that many birds that live nearby seem to have picked up a lovebird call since his dissapearance. Normally birds will only pickup sounds if they hear them repeatedly, so I believe he’s alive and not too terribly far away (within 1/2 mile). I’m not going out of my way to find him at this point since he’s making an effort to not return and I’m not sure how “friendly” he would be at this point anyway and if he could be tamed again. He still is welcome to return and his cage will be waiting for him outside for a while longer so he can return if he wants to.
Ok, decided I’d put up a personal blog again - but not on the main powertrip site since it’s for family and friend’s hosting.. it’s my domain, but you know.. it’d just be strange if someone looks up my dad or uncle and goes to see who the webhost is and starts reading my personal life.
Ok, so there’s this person I’ve been chatting with. They’re funny, smart, great to be around, respectful, you identify with them and all of that… unfortuantely they’re on the other side of the world and married.
This is one of those situations that I think I would even be more than willing to do everything within my power to bring them over here, provide for all needs just to have them near. Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening and I would never disresepect them enough to assume that they’d give up everything and move since I don’t believe they feel the same way I do. (although I do believe we’ve got similar feelings, just mine are stronger)
On the good side, I’ve learned to take a step back, look at everything we do have together and to enjoy our time together, regardless of the rest of the situation. Gotta make each moment worth it if you’ve got limited time, ya know?
