not as *coo as a bottle of poo

last week, my man shopped for me. and got us a new shampoo. its herbal essences DRAMA CLEAN. I like the smell, its soapy. what I didnt like was the instructions on the back. they are weird. this is what it says:

'Add some punch to blue jeans and flats with a sequined top. Find more dramatic ideas on Drama Clean conditioner. rinse,repeat the cleaning lather. Are you feeling light headed yet?'

kinda different than the usual wash, rinse, repeat if desired. I was confused why my shampoo was telling me about this outfit. I think sequins are stupid.[on me] and I started thinking about how everything seems to have to communicate in a whole new way. I guess this ad on my poo bottle was supposed to be entertaining and I would giggle and think, 'Oh drama clean, you are so cute. I will continue to buy you because of your wit and fashion expertise.'

well.the cute little green bottle was just trying to sell itself. and i am giving it a whole lot of crap. Its just silly marketing.
Marketing is challenging, I am kinda trying to figure out how to do it for myself, and i hate it.

Recently, I have applied for a few exciting opportunities which require a BIO.
and I just cant seem to do one. I feel funny talking about myself and trying to make myself seem cooler than I am. I cant help that when describing myself, chips and salsa is all that comes to mind. I know its not really bio material...but i struggle. and I really really love chips and salsa.

So I need some help? I am trying to put together a little bio for my website and to use for future applications but what should it include? Sometimes Bios can be sooo long and too extensive? where should I begin? birth? grade school? highschool? yesterday? I just dont think people will really care. What are your thoughts?
I have won some pretty cool contests and stuff but I want people to care more about the music than the contests. I dont know. Im thinking way too much about it, I guess. I leave you now with a photo of me singing at the st. george arts festival. It was an amazingly fun event. I just wish I would have washed my hair with my drama clean before hand...im looking greasygreaser.Thanks Maddy [who commented on the last post], and everyone else who came to the festival. I had a great time!

Before I'm Old.

Sometimes when I find out about a new band or singer, I google them to see how old they are. If I find out that they are older than 30 and are just breaking out into the world, I feel very excited for them and It helps me not feel so old.

Sometimes its hard to not say yes to every musical opportunity that comes my way. I want to do everything but I have other priorities, that are much cuter...and much more important. and sadly, that makes me feel old.

Last night I felt a hint of a tug of war between my stay at home heart and my musical soul that wants to sing every chance it gets. I wanted to go play music at a local event, I had laundry to do, dinner to clean up, and I couldn't find a babysitter cuz Jon Butler had night class. I don't think I was acting sad but my three year old came and held my hand and asked me 'Why are you sad?' He could tell that I was thinking. and he reminded of this AMAZING SONG by Fictionist.


Max, I wasn't sad. You made me so so happy.
I have Tiny Hands that I get to hold. and they are what this life is about. I wouldn't know true happiness with out them.

A little more about Fictionist.
They need our help.
and since I know that You guys are super friendly and caring and giving of your time and internet energy,
I thought I would make this to also help them out! They need votes to get on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. and turns out they are having a contest too, isn't that just the *Cats Pajamas!
*[this is old person lingo for freakin sweet!]

[and to be completely honest, i didnt know about the contest till after I made this Vid. so hopefully Karma will kick in...]

If you love this song as much as me, go to here and download it for free. but be sure to Help Fictionist out by giving them a healthy-5-star rating.

* To feel extra young and chipper, you could join their street team for your town. I joined their St. George Street team and passed out a million flyers for their last show. I swear it added pep to my step and reduced grey hairs and wrinkles better than a Jack Lalanne power juicer!

The next round ends today so VOTE VOTE VOTE!!

with Thanks and LOVE,
Lyndy
