This must be a dream, not a reality.
I hope the Finns who do this have a lotta fun. I didn't think it would become a different world to me. I am used to being in the US with my family there. Finns are at home there, I've contemplated, like close to family and to feel a tug still.
I dunno about my Master's or another Bachelor's. Loyola seemed to thrust you into ballet, like they do with folk dance. I wonder if I could learn more languages. I wish I would be interesting to work in Hollywood in the US. I wanted to have a talk show or be on ones that are made for people to be on, like Victoria Jackson (born in 1959 in Miami, Florida, US,) in SNL (Saturday Night Live) several/numerous times. Ever heard of the good days of SNL? That was before today.
See, I was kicked outta Music Education. I want to be a performer and teacher of general music. To teach dance, you'd have to have some meat under your belt. I wanted to be like in the board of music education, but I also wanna perform and be famous. I dug into that dream a lot before, I think. I'm sorta hanging on for dear life, now.
See, I have a theory that people who do that in Finland are very at home. That's not what I asked for, to be treated so special. It's sorta a dream, to do folk dancing in a cold place in Europe, tho I love all equally. It's just a decision some people make, you know?.. People in the cold supposedly are fairer and it's a jolly time in the US to see snow if you appreciate it, but I dunno all about that..
I am used to leaving my family, tho, for other things and need to do something for myself. This is in line with my goals, just seems very exuberant. Life doesn't seem as precious as we are made to believe, anymore. I sorta like supporting my parents emotionally. They seem happy to see me do what they did and go across the world.
I hope that people in the world can be happy. Something tugging at me is to go to Europe. Something else is to achieve worthy fame. I was actually sorta famous where I was or would be treated like I should be. Things sure have changed with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005.) I don't agree with the changes in the world. I am thankful for my favorite movie, tho.
