2 years

Exactly one TWO year ago a girl named Savannah (the person with the same name as I but not the same woman, only the one I used to be) sat at the very same computer she is perched at now and hesitantly created her very first Buzznet account with the same keyboard that she has used for the past year in molding herself. With a click of a few buttons TryingToFindTheWords was born.

It's so hard for me to measure time. I can't believe things that happened a year ago really happened. I mean at this time last year  I was so very different. I wrote one of my favorite things about my "person" (who I am now totally over). It feels like years ago that I first was that girl. It's been a lifetime since before my father was not in the hopsital. Putting things in the order they happen is difficult for me. High schools blends with middle school. I remember the way I felt at times when I look back but I can't identify the first place when I started deteriorating. When did I fall apart and why did let myself crumble?

Last year when I wrote one of these for my one year anniversary I said, "During the next year I hope I will have even better adventures and maybe find out who I really am."

I have been hurt, overjoyed, angered, honored, and so much more by this place. It's insane how much has changed and how much has gone on. I'm kind of in shock thinking about it and everything I have accomplished in the past year. I have made wonderful friends, lost people who I've realized were never good for me in the first place, and grown in so many ways in the past 12 months.

*****


I have made one of my best friends ever, Jenna aka AnAmericanGod, the gorgeous girl in the above self portait. I met up with her at Bamboozle 2008 and after that we started talking so much more and became close friends over the next few months bonding over music and horse backing riding and being a teenager. We made plans and met up in real life at an All Time Low / Mayday Parade / The Maine / Every Avenue concert in Pennsylvania again to hang out and shoot a concert. Jenna and I also have plans to go to Bamboozle 2009 together and she will be flying to my house and staying with me for 5 days which I am super excited about!
 

Buzznet also led me to meet my other online bff, Sara aka xblanksface, the beautiful lady in the above self potrait. Sara and I have sadly never met in real life although we have made plans for roadtripping Warped Tour this summer and a possible TAI show meet up this upcoming April!

There are so many other people that I feel have changed my life that I can thank buzznet for because we met through here- Lucy (brokenglassheart), Sarah (HyperBallad13), Gemma (gemmaxloves), Kristyn (ikkyg), and many many many more. I've had the pleasure of meeting Sho (unsceneunheard), , Aileen (trophyboys), Vanessa (nesslah), Jay (jayv), Rach (rachaelriot), Ash (ashdood), and Bella (bellavenom). I'm very happy I was able to connect with those people and my other friends.

*****

The sad thing is, I don't know what to do with myself here now.

I have stopped posting my writing because I'm afraid people will steal it. Again.

I cannot force myself to happily write "news" articles about what "hot spot" "band celeb" just wrote in HIS blog. Especially when people twitter about others for "stealing their story". It's copy and pasting chunks of a band boys personal blog into an MTV news article.

I hate what this place has become and I really have no relavent spot here now.

I am tired of the "new crowd" and I know I sound like a whiny brat but honestly I miss how buzznet used to be. I missed when my friends were here and people actually gave an honest damn about each other and didn't pretend to be friends to get "connections" and get "efamous". Fuck that shit. It's ridiculous.

No, I have a feeling that perhaps my time is long gone. I've had to drastically cut back my time on here because of real life and school, which is the important thing for my future. I haven't been able to comment my friends because I can only spend so much time on here.

*****
I'm proud of myself and the past year no matter what happens for the future. I have grown and accomplished a lot in my eyes- shot numerous shows, had a gig on Eliza Cuts radio show, got my nose peirced, traveled, written, learned so many things. I can only hope that next year will be even bigger and better. I have plans making it out to be the best year yet.

****

Love, Savannah

The Cab's secret revealed - deeper TAI secret unearthed in the process

So have you heard? William Beckett is really Johnny Depp? Well according to story in DeLeons new blogcast.

Oh yeah. DeLeon has "jumped on the blog train" (his words not mine) along with Panic (!) At The Disco, Travis McCoy, and William Beckett and many others. Anyways, here is what he has to say on his blog (www.symphonysoldier.com).

So I have done it. I’ve jumped on the blog train, and you my friends are all going to be tied to the tracks. Congratulations to all of the mystical minds who found the site, and who dug a little deeper to find out what the hell was going on with my failed attempts at being super cool and cryptic. Any ways… I have a lot to say. If you know me you probably know a few things. I listen to WAY too much pop music, I have a pretty big forehead, and last but not least…I talk too much. What better way to let out everything I have to say? However, this is also for you. I’ll be doing secret contests, give aways, sneak peaks, and giving you beautiful people opportunities to see, hear, and read things here that you won’t be able to anywhere else. Every Tuesday for the next few months I have decided to write about one song from the album. What it’s about, the story behind it, and my feelings on it. In three months, you know Whisper War in it’s entirety and the stories behind it.

I am Alex DeLeon, and this is my blog. Get on my train before it leaves the station.


Besides the whole "jumping on the train" metaphor (seriously you ARE a writer, no? wth DeLeon) this sounds pretty fun. Bands are really into sharing their creative process these days what with the Cobra Cam and such.

Oh also - I also find it funny when he says "We just got off of a tour with William and Sisky Business from The Academy Is.. (I forgot the third dot in “Is…” Does it matter? William please don’t be offended..I’m just a bit lazier than most)"  because, HELLO dude, you just spent about 10 times more energy pointing out your silly little mistake and then talking about it then it would have actually taken to fix it. Backspace, click the "." button once, move on.

Happiness!

Ahhh why hello there new favorite song! :)

An all-star cast consisting of producers
Butch Walker
and Polow Da Don
with singers
Cee-Lo of Gnarls Barkley,
Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes/Tequila Mockingbird,
Brendon Urie of Panic (!) At The Disco,
Patrick Stump(h) of Fall Out Boy,
and Janelle Monae of The Wondaland Arts Society
providing vocals joined together to create
Open Happiness, a wonderful little song!

I believe that Open Happiness was made to promote Coca Cola? Anyone know the exact reason it was made? For whatever reason it was created, can I just say that I am in love? Because this song makes me tremble with excitement to go take on the new day and conquer the world.

Brendon sounds absolutely amazing to my ears and the chorus is my favorite part. For some reason I'm always like "WILLIAM BECKETT Is that you?!" in the background of the chorus but I'm assuming its Patrick singing the part that I think sounds like William. Or maybe it's Janelle? Hey I don't know, William has a very feminine voice sometimes!  



unashamed and blatent picspaming of my own photo taken on Rock Band Live Tour
that happens to fit into this post nicely because I mention Brendon being in the song


Listening to this song sort of reminds me of hearing Pretty. Odd. by Panic (!) At The Disco just because it's all "Rainbows! Peace! Relax!". But jeez this song has some killer lines that bring out the warm and fuzzies to fizzle in your heart. :)

To listen go here and press the headphones next to Butch Walkers name in the upper right hand corner if the music doesn't begin to play automatically. It's really an amazing song!

Open Happiness

Ahhh..ohhh
Well hello is this thing on
Is anybody listening
A brand new day has begun

The first thing that I want do
Make sure that you feel it too
So Im not the only one

Cmon lift me up its a brand new day
Open up a lil happiness today
So I can be someone new
Cmon and lift me up to a better way
Open up a smile on another face
So I can feel something new

Open up some happiness
Open up some happiness
Open up some happiness

(Travis) Ahem*Ahem* let me clear my throat
So you can hear clearly every word spoke
Today I woke feeling lovely
Happiness overflowin knowin somebody loves me
Just think yesterday I was down and out
Now there's not a single thing for me to frown about
And the same thing can happen to you
Smiling so hard my mouth look like a capital U

I want the sun to shine
All the time
Is that too much to ask
Oh, I want to have some fun
I want all my friends to come
Cause its now or never
Learn the words and sing together

(Janelle Monae) Your heart deserves your trust
A choice made for all of us
The sun will come back tomorrow
Theres a message in a bottle
So come on Ill meet you there
Theres enough sunshine to share
As long as you know
The bridge between us is a rainbow

:D

How To Know A Band Is On DecayDance

When they have a surpirse, they have an internet maze organized. This months surprise host is.... THE CAB!

The cryptic messages started when Alex DeLeon posted these to his twitter account.



I took "Read My Skin" as "read my tattoo" so I typed in "Symphony Solider" to google and VOILA!



www.SymphonySolider.com appeared with the message "Read my skin. That's where you'll find me".

It should be noted that the website is a tumblr account. If you have a tumblr you can go to the upper right hand corner and click "follow" to have it's updates appear in your dashboard when/if it is updated.

No music plays, clicking on the page does not link you anywhere, and nothing has changed in the past day.

So far (Feb 1, 2009) that's all that appeared BUT he did say 222009 which I assume is Feb 2, 2009 so the surprise will probably be revealed tomorrow.

EDIT : I'm probably the only one to find this amusing but DeLeon told us to "type his skin" in a new twitter so I typed in "Alex DeLeons skin" and this from a Demi Lovato fan sight popped up.
