So this is my first column for Rock Pulse. First of all, it's really great to be writing for this site. So, I was thinking about what to write. Then it hit me, as they say... Opportunities. Fate. Twist of time... This is my first piece of writing for a proper music-zine, and who knows where it could lead? Maybe nowhere, maybe it'll change my life. So, as I asked Jess ''Will it be like that one out of Sex and the City, that kind of column?'' my brain was already ticking... I read a lot of these things, review sites, etc all the time. It's great to work for one. Anyway, as I was saying: What would I be doing if I didn't get offered this job? I'd be pretty bored. Thinking of excuses for late homework, chatting aimlessly. But then again, its through Jess I got the job. I wouldn't know Jess if I didn't sign onto a fan site I've been on for a year or two. I wouldn't have gone THERE if I didn't see a band on the TV that I got into. Things lead up to each other. Things sometimes are meant to happen. So I'm meant to be random but, for once, let's look at things as seriously as we can. Can we ignore things that are planted right in front of us? If we ask for a sign and receive one in return, do we shake it off as coincidence? But then, can we live purely on chance? I'm not even sure of my point, but give me a chance eh kids? All joking aside, I don't know much for a girl my age. But I know enough to get me through a day. But who knows where this could lead? Who knows anything? By this time you're thinking: God, what is she? Nothing! That's the beauty of it. I'm writing this purely because I like to, I've been offered and like I said, who knows where it could go? If you don't like the way I'm writing this, give me another chance, because as my first article, it may as well be serious. As this site progresses and the more I write, who knows what'll come next? I have some good ideas. If I get to use them, I'll actually feel like I'm doing something worthwhile. It's a good feeling. So being as I don't know how much I have to write, I'll use that as an excuse to ramble more. I will get to my main point, I promise! I just like to go on a little bit; it's the pills y'see. I'm reading lots of other articles. No, I'm not taking down notes, I just want to see what my job description would include. Thankfully, sticking to the subject isn't one of them. It's actually taken me 2 days so far of me writing. I guess my point is * drum role * That things DO happen for a reason. And even if that reason isn't clear at first, it will turn out the way it's meant to. It might suck, it might be good but either way; you have to work through it to see the point. Even if you don't see mine, hehe. So, now that this is done, I'll say my goodbyes for this week (If I even said my hello's) and I'll return with more ramblings from the insane next time. Take care of yourselves * dramatic pause * and each other. Just messing. Just watch where your walking! 'Till next time. Kirst
