Many of you have asked me what prompted me to start a blog. Yes, I was on the hunt for a creative outlet to begin practicing my craft, but more importantly, I wanted to explore whether or not I was good at this. Was I going to be a sub-par writer and no one would tell me? Would I end up like one of those poor Middle American kids that land on American Idol, singing their tone deaf hearts out, all because their friends and family were never honest with them? How sad, yet…disturbingly entertaining.
Thus, my blog was born. I look forward to your comments.
In other news, how about those Oscars? I dare not go on in length seeing as Ben Mulroney has already accomplished that, and further embarrassed Canada a tad with his red carpet antics, waving our flag about like a nutbar. Very cliché Ben. How did he get that job anyway? Did his family name really help him? Yikes. Just call me Heather Vander Zalm in that case. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the show. Jon Stewart continues to rock my world, as did the performance from the film ‘Once’ that won for best song and Clooney was his usual sexy self. As a friend pointed out to me, the Oscars are like Super Bowl Sunday for chicks. I concur - go Oscar go.
