Today was the day I was looking forward to, but I must say, I am a bit disappointed, I heard big things about this event and it didn’t live up to it. Perhaps it’s because I’m feeling blue again, realizing I’m alone again and I still haven’t got anyone and starting to think their isn’t anyone for me out there. Just a whole bunch of losers who think their better than me and more important in the relationship or they only want me for one thing which is another selfish thing.

Anyway, so I attended the festival and I snapped a few photo’s and slapped on a happy face because I’ve become good at that over the years and just headed home after a spider crawled up my skirt and then I just had to leave because I was not only not having a good time, but I kept remembering the spider and worrying about stupid bees attacking me.

So here are a few pictures i got my mom to take for me.

I was contacted a week or so ago asking permission for a tv program to use my original song and video for a show that’s going to be on soon. I thought that was neat so I thought hey why not. I signed the form and sent it back and we’ll see if anything comes of it.

I really like the song and video I did to it

I love writing songs, it’s so fun to do especially when their songs like this, that are fun and upbeat. I haven’t really been able to make any like that having gone through so much heartache from relationships I was in. Hopefully more upbeat, fun songs are on the rise and I will shoot some out for you all.

I really wish I could collab with a girl though, would be nice to interact with the youtube world but when ever I write someone on there to collab I get no response back. Hmm. Don’t know what that’s about.

If your reading this and you would like to collab with me, please let me know. I can do fair editing and meshing our videos together if you just film yourself. I am not picky on the song and if you want to do a certain one I am fine with that. If you have an idea for it, I’d be more than happy to work with you on it. I am fast and will get it done when I say I will and I will post the video on my channel with a link to yours to bring traffic to your page, but I expect the same consideration in return. After all we are working together to gain more audience.

What does an Amaira do in the morning?

Well.. I love to lay in bed for awhile and flick on my stereo and listen to the radio for most of the morning. I like listening to 103. something, I forget. It plays good music, my favs and it makes me feel good. It brings back memories of when I was a girl and I used to do the same thing most of the day. I love music, always have. It makes me feel really good especially when a good song comes on and you can’t help but dance along while you do things around the house.

I am listening now while I write this blog, ahhhhh. So nice.

Man! my cat is so annoying to me right now this pregnancy. Everytime she meows I’m just like “Shut Up Cuddles” I love her, but eek, that meow right now. Does anyone get that during pregnancy? When certain noises or voices annoy you more than they used to? Like My ex and when he listens to some kind of meditative chanting music when he comes to visit his son and we’re in his car. Ekkk and he still plays it even though I hate it. Usually you let the guest listen to their music or you find a common ground. Not really a common ground with us as far as most things go especially music. he doesn’t even like my music. Ha!

Stupid chanting music. Hu.. huuu huuuh, hu… like wtf

I know it’s suppose to be some sort of great thing, but NO!

I like music with rhythm and story and ones that move me and make me feel good not make me sit there and raise my eye brows and feel like someones going to hear me listening to this crap. LOL

Do you know what I mean? Have you ever listened to a song and your like, “oh gawd, I hope no one hears me listening to this? How do I explain it?

“Amaira… what are you listening to?”

long pause… “Um…. CRAP!”

 

Okay okay that’s harsh, but I am just being honest and having an opinion is a good thing. As long as it’s not meant to hurt others and it’s not. I respect others love for a certain music and culture what ever that music is, but I just can’t stand it and I hate being forced to listen to it and I don’t say anything because I don’t want to hurt their feelings so I just endure it and the fact that they know I dislike it but still listen is just weird to me because I would turn it to something they enjoy if I was driving or something we both could enjoy. Like come on… “BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER” Like Ellen says. I love Ellen, but I am starting to wonder why she hasn’t gotten me on her show or featured me. Ha!

She has these dance dares I want to do, but I have no one to film me ever, I asked my ex once but he acts embarrassed by me half the time even though he deny’s it and never want’s to do anything fun like that. SOOO SERIOUS. Sorry I’m in a ranting rage over him again, I’m pregnant and he makes me mad and annoys me with how he is towards me and how he tries to fool me all the time like love and affections a game and then it’s like… “SUCKER” Don’t you hate when people do that.

You have no context but I’m okay with that. HA “Use your imagination.”

OH yes… listening to music, “What goes around goes around goes around goes all the way back around.” Wow what a song for the topic I just wrote. HAHAHAha

It is a true lyric…

What do you all like listening to? what music makes you happy? Leave me a comment saying so and do your ex’s still play games with you or annoy you ?

 

My Only Rock Song

Lyrics

He’s got a look
Eyes of fire he’s
More than imagination
He’s on my mind
On my skin
Twisting words around my hair
Wrapping me up in
Gentle touch
He’s into more than my skin that bleeds
Pouring me tea from a crystal sea
This boy got all that I need

Maybe it’s time I open my eyes
A dream is a part from the man I see
Pinch me awake I’ll go back to sleep
He’s all of the man I could ever need
He is
He is he is
My only

Hit song on radio
Playing me tune
My feet are dancing
My heart is on
Staring at him
In a dream I must be
Lying in bed
Oh this can’t be true

He is he is he is
My only rock song

Turn the song on repeat
Play it aloud
Rock my head n stomp my feet
Boy gotta beat n a crystal sea
Flick of his tongue
As the words roll off
Giving me chills
Till the morning sun

He is he is he is
My only rock song

Rock it up baby
He rock it up good
Rock it up baby
Rocking me cool
Rolling up dah rims like a Tim Hortin
Brew
As the steam be making my eyes ask who
He is he is he is

Look
Taste smell
He makes me sink
In silence
In takes my breath and breathes in
He gives me life
I can live
He opens doors
Soars
My wind
He is my only real friend

He is he is he is
My only
ROCK SONG

He looked my way
I thought a dream
He spoke to me so it must be
He touched my cheek
Stared into my eyes
He looked real good
Then he sang to me

She is she is she is
My only rock song

================================
This song is not written about a man in my life it’s written about finding love in not someone but in your passion. In God and in your love of writing and singing. I find great love when I sing and write songs and it will always be something I do because it gives me joy. It is my rock song. He is. Ha! He as in God, with the gifts he has given to me.

I make him proud and smile every time I sing a tune and I can feel him smiling down on me when I feel the music in my soul and sing it aloud.

Art is colourful and I paint the world with my colour no matter the darkness that tries to cover me. I will always shine above all shadows simply because I love me and love living life just as I am. With love and passion and freedom of expression.

I hope to inspire others to do the same.

Always

I met an incredible man

I believe he’s my soul mate, we share so many things together in common, it’s like a reflection of ourselves. We hit it off right away and have not stopped talking and texting each other and he’s already planned our 4th date haha and we’ve had one so far. It was an amazing date to say the least. This man does and says so many sweet caring things for me than I have ever received in all my other relationships put together and I just met him.

He can pick up what I’m thinking and about to say and feeling and makes me feel so good inside, I can’t explain it. I can’t wait to see him again, is all I can say. I can’t wait to see where it leads.

We spent a nice afternoon and evening together with our kids and watched a movie, ate pizza and kissed and cuddled. “Clears throat” It was great! He He

So I’m moving as I’ve said about one too many times and I decided to record vlogs along the way of my process and here is my first one. It is posted on my family channel. Remember I have two, my music video one and my family channel which features vlogs and family stuff of course. So you get the best of both worlds of Mandiland.

So I’ve listened to her song Judas and I couldn’t bear to sing those lyrics, I kept wanting to sing I’m in love with Jesus so I decided to change-up the lyrics to something more fun and silly like myself. “hello” I think I managed to do that, but you tell me what you think?

Here is the video I’ve brainstormed about for weeks and finally took the time to do it now that I’m not pulling my hair out and crying into my pillow in stress and heart ache. I mean don’t get me wrong I still bare a scar and have some stress left, but nothing like it was. Not even close and thanks to you, you have kept me stronger. Your support helps me in so many ways and I want to thank you for that. <3

Enjoy the video

My next video will be a Christmas one and followed by that will be Push it by salt n pepper which was a request. I love-making music videos. I’ve made them since I was 15 believe it or not. Though, “I didn’t begin posting on-line or sharing until I was 22 right after I published my first book. I remember how popular I became. Almost every second I’d get another message. or comment. It was crazy.

I love what I do now, especially my blogging because writing is my number one, always has been. I can’t wait to finish my Christmas story so you all can enjoy it. It’s almost finished.

I really hope everyone enjoys it <3

I’ll probably make my Christmas video today sometime so watch for it.

 

 

Filming “Marry the Night”

I’m now working on my new video and getting my outfit and make up set before I begin filming. I don’t plan my videos. I do however plan outfits and make up, but what I do in the video etc is all when the camera is on and ready to capture. Everything is raw and real and I put a lot of energy into what I create even though every scene of change in video is in one shot. I hate to redo in them because I want to keep them as raw n true as I can because it captures a real honest quality that is lost in most music videos.

What do I know though right? I’m just an unknown artist, but what sets me a part is I love what I do and who I am and believe in myself. I find I make a lot of other artist mad, who knows why, they have a quality of, “you don’t know what you’re talking about.” The truth is, I know exactly what I’m talking about when it comes to entertaining and creating. That’s just the way it is, – we all have a view and expression and this is mine and the way I see and describe it is truthful even if you disagree with it.

For my video I decided to wear my red wig for certain scenes to show my dark side and how I naturally look as my light side. There is a balance within us, the red-head I play is my mistakes, my edge, my rough around the edges, pain, struggles I’ve come through and me is my positives, success, love, happy, talent, light, healing… everything wonderful.

Lady GaGa said the song is about marrying your regrets, your darkness accepting it as a part of you and embracing it, wearing it because its part of who your are…

Happy Feet 2

Omg, so I went and took my daughter to see Happy Feet 2 with my oldest son Johnathan and the movie was so great. I really enjoyed it. I cried in it, ha! I am a softy what can I say. under this SystematicMermaid hard shell I am a soft pillow of goodness and love, cuddle, Hello underneath.

I really thought it was very enjoyable and cute, I loved the whole concept of everything, but the only thing negative I can say about it is I wish Erik who is Mumbo’s Son used his voice more, like it was opera singing and he should have had to sing a song at the end and crack the ice with his voice like opera singers can do to windows and glass by hitting a certain note. Anyways other than that it was great, after all it made me cry. I also saw a movie I wanted to see in the previews before Happy Feet 2 even started. After all we know movie theatres like to bore us with trailers and commercials before we even watch the actual movie, talk about lame? did we pay for commercials? NO! we paid for the movie damn it!

The movie I saw a preview for was called Journey 2 but I can’t remember the rest of the title. ha! go figure.

Have you seen Happy Feet 2 yet and if so what are your thoughts and reactions to it?

It’s Saturday!

It’s a wonderful day in the neighborhood a wonderful day in the neighborhood… “Any one remember where that’s from?” Ha! The real question is why the hell is it in my head? Why is it our mind just starts turning into radio mode and playing songs that sometimes we haven’t even heard that day. Interesting huh? It’s kind of like it’s skimming through memory lane and you remember a tune from one of the memories and your brain hits. “PLAY”

By the way for those who have no idea where that song is from that I was annoyingly singing along to, it was none other than MR. freakin Rogers!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend today and scarfing down some whole good breakfast to start their mornings off on, “Full speed ahead Scotty!”

What are my plans today, “Nosey bastards” Well it’s going shopping, “Check”  Picking up my kids, “Check” Ever do that, check off everything even without a pencil and paper? Just a random going through the list in your head and subconsciously checking it off your invisible brain list. “Check”

I think that’s about all I can think of to write of this morning so this will have to be continued when ever the hell I feel like something to say which is quite often so don’t get side tracked off my blog page and go surfing around because there will be another blog popping up on your screen at some point in time. I just can’t tell you why. Why you say? because I don’t even know when, that’s how much of a surprise it is.
