Guitar, but Mostly The Man from Snowy River :)

   So, Guitar, my favorite instrument! I play the guitar, maybe not well, but I try : ) My dream is to be as good as Brad Paisley and Keith Urban one day. The only thing that’s stopping me, you ask? Well in one word… Practice.

   I’m not good at practicing. I fail miserably! I love to play my guitar, don’t get me wrong, but I never want to try anything new. Like with bar chords! (Chords where you have to press one of your fingers on all the stings at one time. They’re really hard, but probably the most useful) It took me SOOOOOO long to learn my first bar chord! And it’s most likely the easiest! Oh, well.

   I also play the piano some. My views on the piano are a little different than what I think about guitar. If I find a song I completely love and want to play, then I’ll sit down and try to learn it in a  few days, and once I have it down, I’ll play it for half a year : ) ‘til I find a new one.

   Right now I’m playing the theme song from “The Man from Snowy Rive”. Which is AMAZING!!!! I strongly suggest that you listen to it RIGHT NOW if you’ve never heard it! Or just watch the movie! It has great music, good acting, horses and it’s in Australia!!! How could someone NOT like it a little? Come on, you know you want to see it now! ; )

   The Man from Snowy River and Return to Snowy River (the sequel) are two of my favorites! They’re the kind of movie that I can watch over and over and never get tired of them!! I guess they are just my kind of movie…

Spoiler Alert! I will talk about how the movie ends! So go watch it already! :P

•  The Underdog (named Jim Craig in these movies) gets trampled on by everyone who’s “above” him in the world, and they can’t see what he’s worth.

•  The Underdog falls in love with someone (Jessica, or Jess, for short) who’s completely out of his league.

•  Underdog shows everyone how AWESOME he is and everyone who talked down to him before has to eat their words..

•  The Underdog gets the girl, gets the respect he should have had in the first place and wins in the end :)

   Now that is what makes a good movie! Can you tell that I’m a hopeless romantic yet? Yeah, I know that real life does not go as planned, and sometimes the bad guys win, but if you don’t expect the best, than how can you look forward to anything?

   Well, now that I’ve bored you out of your mind telling you about a movie that you have probably already seen or never want to see, I’ll get back to reality, end this post, and go teach some kids ho w to draw some great owls or something :)

   OH!! Before I go! I painted my nails today!! Zebra Stripes, baby!

    Talk to you soon!
