Getting Better 10/23/2009
After having a rather full and interesting day running around with post it notes on my forehead informing the world that I’m fabulous, I found myself in my friend’s dad’s car. His father inquired about the state of the blog, I started to blush and nearly role my eyes – my father has been telling nearly everyone I have a blog and its getting embarrassing. The reason I started this blog was to have free expression, but now all my dads’ friends and family are reading my every thoughts. I understand he is doing this because he is proud of me, but now I can’t go on about the anguish and sorrows of my teenage life in great extent. My friend’s dad suggested I slowly push the limit on what I can write until my parents feel the need to stop me. I smiled, that’s not how it works in my family. Then he suggested I write whatever I feel like as long as I’m passionate about it, and then they would understand. This seemed like a good idea, but then it dawned on me that I’m not passionate about anything.   Except maybe The Beatles. The most commercially and critically successful band of all time, wow do I sound superficial. But I can’t help it, instead of searching for my passion I’ll let it come to me. Meanwhile I’ll stick with my boys. They are funny, insightful, charming, and the most handsome men in the history of the world. I don’t think I can explain their aura properly, anytime they would walk into a room or strike a pose people instantly fall in love. They lure you in and there is no backing out of it and you want to know everything about them.   And you could say I do know everything about them. Since the sixth grade spring break I have made it my mission too find out all the facts, decipher all the songs, and read between the rumors. My calendar is marked up with their birthdays, important days, and John’s and George’s death day. Infact my calendar is even a Beatles calendar. My walls are covered in their smiling faces, their stoned faces, and their thoughtful faces. I have a mini library worth of Beatles picture books, Beatle biographies, and Beatle magazines. My closet has a section of just Beatles apparel, bags, and pins. My desk is littered in Beatle postcards. Stacks of Beatle/Wings/Lennon/Harrison/McCartney records fill our living room and all their songs occupy my iPod. Half the quotes I know (and that’s a lot) are derived from their brilliance. They opened my mind up to fashion, music, and ideals of the Sixties and anytime before the 2000's. I owe everything to them. And I owe this little qoute to them " I've got to admit it's getting better, a little better all the time, it can't get no worse, I have to admit it's getting better, it's getting better." Hope it is for you too!

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:25:45 My Mum wants to start a blog now too, though she doesn't really visit mine. I know it could be a possibility in the future though, and it's only a matter of time before my aunts find out. I don't really want it to affect what I write though; I love your passion for the Beatles, such a timeless group. Rachel Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:50:09 Beatles are all we need! Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:51:04 I don't let my parents know about my blog or it would ruin the experience for me, but don't push your writing or you will be grounded! Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:53:06 My favorite Beatle is George and I became in love with them the same way as you!! Meg Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:25:28
Nicola Sat, 24 Oct 2009 13:18:44 Hey "libby" this looks really cool! Sat, 24 Oct 2009 13:24:40 Awww they are soo cute I wish I could run up to them and just give them a big ol hug, they really have just a radiant aura. Man I miss having beatle nights, should do it again! Sat, 24 Oct 2009 13:28:43 Passion is a weird thing, if you don't have one then you are nothing, but if you have one you are annoying as hell. Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:30:55 Aw, I think the Beatles are fantastic. I'm so glad I was introduced to them at a young age and have liked them ever since. Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:10:49 I love this post! I completely understand about what you mean, wanting the blog to be free expression - I haven't told that many people close to me about my blog because I want to keep it away from real-life judgment... if that makes sense? Also, The Beatles are amazing, and your collection sounds incredible! Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:37:30 Yesterday I went to a Swinging London exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery and there were many many Beatles photos, if you have the chance you should go;)! Sun, 25 Oct 2009 06:18:56 The Beatles are awesome. I really like them. George is my favorite. I hope you've been enjoying the weekend. Cheers! Sun, 25 Oct 2009 07:33:24 Loving the fact that your father tells everyone about your blog. I think it's adorable how he feels the need to brag - though I can see how it can be a bit unnerving at times. I think you should simply stay true to your writing; don't censor yourself simply because you know that individuals who see you on the street know your innermost thoughts. ANONYMOUS Sun, 25 Oct 2009 08:51:42 always gettin gbetter Sun, 25 Oct 2009 09:37:45 I think that its funny that you feel comfortable letting strangers know your innermost thoughts and not your close family and friends - what a strange world we live in. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 14:49:20 My dads told family members that havent seen me in years! when he visits he always gets my blog up! ugh x Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:01:55 Who doesn't love The Beatles? They do have an aura about them for sure and it is one that will still continue to be talked about all throughout the years to come. That's pretty special. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:42:30 The Beatles are timeless.. nothing wrong about being obsessed. xoxox Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:30:33 its great.. beetles and all.. Mon, 26 Oct 2009 06:26:18 I adore the Beatles! They are so amazing. Have you seen Across the Universe? It is fabulous or what? :) Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:46:06 such an amazing post. and i really love the fact that you are so passionate about the beatles. i wish i could show all the beatle stuff in my house my mom is insanely in love as well. been listening to them since i was kid. my sisters and brother and i once called oursleves the little beatles when we were all taking up instruments haha Leave a Reply | Author:Musings of a teenager wannabe journalist.
