It seems like there aren't enough positive role models out there. Maybe its just me, but we've got Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears running around, training girls how to be sexy from the age of 12, when they should be in school exploring what makes them tick. Not how to make boys tick.
Is this where our culture has brought itself to? Is this the culmination of women today? Should I care more about what Fergie is wearing, or who Lindsay Lohan hates now, than about what I am good at? Should I care more about the Top 100 Hottest Women in the World, or Most Amazing Sex Secrets, than what I think and have to say?
Ladies....gentlemen.... I really believe that life should be spent exploring what you love to do. Exploring what you are good at. Learning how to excel…. We only get one life. I don't want to waste my time thinking about people I don’t know. I want to think about this world’s problems & how to solve them, I want to think about Politics, I want to think about anything else that is of importance to me. I want to make music that speaks to people. I want to connect to people in real life. I want to be real to everyone, at all times, in my home and in the streets. To have a real conversation that doesn't center around anyone's dress or car.
Please visit this website, www.jamesnachtwey.com and tell me you don't feel like the luckiest person in the world, that you aren’t amazingly blessed after seeing what this man is showing you. Tell me it doesn't tug at your heart to DO something of importance with your life, instead of fretting it away.
YOU are important. YOU are special. YOU have an amazing talent to actually use for the good of the human race. If YOU think anything less of yourself, there is no one to blame but yourself.
So…. please don’t call me a FEMINIST....because I am not. I am a HUMANIST. Man, Woman, Girl, Boy, Black, Asian, or a beautiful mixture of us all.... we are all equaly important....and equally talented...
So what is the point to me doing all of this? To writing poetry, singing and writing music? It is to hopefully give a voice of encouragement to the world. That is what I am doing. I will try my hardest to use my talents to get me to a place to speak to as many people as possible. And to encourage and enable you to do the same.
remember when we made a video together! and i got scared of that dog, and you yelled at him, and he ran away?!! thats awesome, and thats why i love you! we need to shoot again, when i get some money for production!
and i need to buy your record, because i have not yet! :( sorry
Thanks for the add!! I love your music!! I especially like "As The Sun Sets"! Very haunting! Can't wait to see you live! Lots of love, Minx the Jinx/Scary Cherry and the Bang Bangs
Thank you for being an outrageous talent, and helping save a dying Dallas Scene. Please keep up the good work, and giving us reasons to close our eyes and listen. Oh, And your poetry isn't too shabby either. (Keep making good music, and I will send more Creepy comments. )
Just wanted you to know that it was good to see/hear you at the prophet bar. ROSETREE DIAGRAM - picked it up at the show and have finally found time to begin reading. It is very inspiring to read such expressive writings. I only wish I could write so candidly. Sometimes I finish reading a page and just have to put the book down...it becomes too much. Life is too much.....beautiful
hey girl! how are you doing? sorry i been a stranger. hope things doing great! i'll try to come to the show on saturday.take care and have a good weeek.
Thanks so much for talking to me real quick at the Dallas show, it was a really special night for a lot of reasons. You are a inspirational singer and i can't wait until you come back around, maybe by then I'll have my own music to sing :) ps- My name's ash, I was the redhead who came and talked to you after the show at the house of blues (i imagine you meet a lot of people)
well I got your song up because it is awesome so you earned that one....as for the top friends, I dont just hand those out like free candy! How do I know you are not some psycho stalker?? we will see if you treat me nicely next time you have a show.... slow down there tiger haha just kidding with ya ;)
I am thoroughly impressed with the cd's I got from you at the house of blues show...not impressed with the fact I still have no comment on my page from ya. You could write something sweet and make me believe you thought about me when I wasn't around. hahaha sorry just couldn't resist =)
