Hi Hello
Dreams. Goals. Ambitions. Everyone has them. When you're a little kid and you dream of having the newest GameBoy or Barbie doll, or you have a career ambition to be a firefighter, doctor or mother or father. Or even now, at your current age, you have a dream of having a family, living in a nice neighborhood or working at your dream job. Everyone has them and we think about them everyday.
But do you take action?
Do you, with the start of everyday, merely think about your dreams, goals, ambitions; or do you work towards them?
I have on my desk a piece of stationary that has my short term and long term goals. My short term goals are tasks that I can achieve in a day, week, or months time. Once they are completed I check them off the list and its the greatest feeling. And I wish to one day check off my one and only long term goal. To help striving artists achieve their goals.
I have never been one to think solely about myself and what I want. Growing up I always was helping other people get where they want to get. Now, as an adult, I want to help musicians achieve their musical goals.
My mission is to find those artists that are recording on their laptops on GarageBand to make an EP to sell. It is to find the artists that are going to local hang outs and playing their music on amateur night. It is to find the artists that are playing on the street corner of a busy shopping center, or concert venue, or tourist attraction.
Find these artists and help them in anyway.
If that means just buying one of their CDs out of their backpack, then that is what I'll do. If its helping them find their next gig, then that is what I'll do. If its spreading the word about them on social media or in my hometown, then that is what I will do.
I am here to help striving and hard working artists get to where they want to be with their material. And hopefully one day, I will be able to expand and travel to other states, or even countries, looking for these talents. But for now, I have to start small in order to build.
Until next time my misfits,
Stefanie

Michelangelo is a PCP Baby
Hi Hello,
So its finally October! Yayyyy *faint audience cheers in the background* And that means that I am in full on Autumn and Halloween mode right now. This weekend I will be painting my room (finally) and getting some lovely Autumn and Halloween decorations to put up. I will also be preparing for this Fun Fall Activities Party thingy that Im going to with my friends. There will be lots of fun fall and Halloween related foods and crafty stuff and decorations and just plain FUN. So that I am looking forward to!
But, that is not why I brought you all here today. (by the way, this blog is brought to you by my new laptop which was made possible by my school) No, the real reason why I'm typing this and you are reading is because I had some messed up dreams last night. And when I say messed up...I mean, they had no direction or point or plot or anything. Just a whole bunch of random happenings and scenarios that would never happen but hey..its my brain so you know..things happen.
So first, I had a dream that I was being chased by this crazy queen lady. In the dream, it felt like I was of some type of importance to her, like I knew the secret to something..i don't know, and she had me locked up in her mansion. But then I got away because the butler did not lock the door (i think he did that on purpose) and I started running and trying to get out and I kept having to hide behind things because I would see her walking around. But once I ran out the front door (why I went to the front door and not a side one Im not sure) all of a sudden I was in a mall. But the mall was part of her house as well and I had to keep running to get out. Last thing I remember is seeing a patch of grass outside the mall and running towards it when the security guard told me no running in the mall and then threw me in jail. End of dream. I think that security guard overreacted a little bit...but either way I never escaped and Im not sure what happened to me after that. Forever alone in a jail cell.
Second dream I had was I was in this hotel looking place and I was with all my close friends. Im not sure if we were on vacation or not but we were there and trying to find the pool. But we were avoiding someone for sure because we kept talking about this girl who we did not want to see there. But I remember having to go to the bathroom in the dream and walking in there and my friends following. And I had an awkward moment in my dream..(why does the awkwardness follow into my dreams?) I sat down on the toilet and my friends came in and just kept talking WHILE IM SITTING ON THE TOILET TRYING TO PEE! And I have shy pee syndrome in real life, like I cannot pee if someone is talking to me..so this was a true struggle in my dream. So I turned around and said, "excuse me, but can I have some privacy" and my friends just walked out and said "fine, we're going to the pool." Of which, I could not pee in my dream, and I decided to go to the pool with them and picked out a very odd swimsuit and put it on over my clothes and then proceeded to take my clothes off underneath my swimsuit as I was talking to my dad, Nathan Fillion. (Nathan Fillion is not actually my father, duh..i was just watching Castle before bed so that is probably why he made an appearance) Then I woke up actually having to pee and made the cold walk to the bathroom.
My last dream however is the strangest, but yet the shortest. I was in a department store, just minding my own business when this pregnant lady came in and started throwing stuff around. And I mean, like she was picking up check-out counters and throwing them across the room and just causing a big disturbance. While the cops arrived and they said that she is the pregnant PCP lady that they have been trying to catch for months. While right as they were trying to arrest her without dying, she started going into labor. And she gave birth right then and there and who pops out of that PCP raging body, but Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And he wasn't like a baby version, no, it was the fully grown holding his nuncucks in one hand and in the other a slice of pizza. End of dream.
Im not sure what I ate, or what I watched before bed last night, but I had a series of messed up, strange dreams last night. They started out just odd and random and then got strange and messed up as the morning grew closer. I just don't even know what to make of it. I'm not even going to try and figure out what they mean or anything. Just leaving them as is...
If you wish to decipher my dreams, or tell me strange dreams that you've had, pop them into the comments. I'm interested to know your thoughts.

A New Leaf
Hi Hello
So today's post is going to be somewhat serious, something that I've been feeling really passionate about lately and I feel like the best way to express it is writing (or typing) it out.
We've all had those moments when we sit there and we plan our dream vacation or we talk with our friends and say how we wish we could travel here or do this or that someday. But with all that planning and dreaming, nothing gets done. Those plans and dreams remain plans and dreams and no one makes the move to go forward with anything.
In the past few years my friends and I have always been saying "Oh I wish I could just go to California, or London, or anywhere BUT Wisconsin." But we never sat down and really said, okay lets plan this out and start saving up. There has always been excuses. "I have bills to pay" or "i have to focus on school" or other lame excuses. And I'm sick of it.
I'm absolutely sick of the excuses and the plans that never leave the ground. You cannot live your life on dreams. You cannot just sit in your house saying that you're going to do this or do that but then never make any initiative to actually get that plan going and do it. If you want to achieve anything in life you can't just sit around and wait for it to fall in your lap, you have to work for it and make it happen. So why should your travel plans be that way?
In the recent months my family has experienced some medical hardships. My uncle was just diagnosed with cancer and thinking about his life and all that he has accomplished inspired me to write this post. I have been saying for the past year that I've been wanting to travel to all of these different places and just really experience life, but I never made an effort to save up my money and work hard to make these plans reality. Until now.
I made a deal with myself. The deal is, whenever I think of an idea, or create a dream in my mind I am going to write it down and start working towards it. If I think of a place to travel to, I'm going to write it down, start planning it out financially, and then start working and saving up my money to go to that place. If I think of a life goal or career goal that I want for my future, I will write it down and start working towards it. I do not want my life to be a list of unfinished plans and unachieved goals. I want it to be a list of accomplished goals and finished plans.
So no more "I wish I could go here" or "I wish I was doing this right now" and more of "I'm working and saving to go here." In fact, as I'm typing this I am currently planning a trip out of state with a few friends. We wanted to go on a vacation and I sat down and said, why don't we just go. So we planned it all out and in a few weeks we are leaving for vacation. And you know what? It feels good. It feels great to just plan a trip somewhere random and actually make it turn into a reality.
This one trip is simply the beginning of many more to come. Which is another reason why I started this blog. I want to be able to document my goals and travels as they happen and it all starts with this first trip.
Its the start of something new and I'm ready for you to join me in this experience. So you can either live in envy of other people's adventures, or you can start your own. Its your choice.
Until next time my misfits,
Stefanie
