Ciao! I’m writing this from my iPhone with the official app from WordPress. It’s been around a long time but it keeps getting better all the time. You can include photos too.
I love this because it means you can always publish something to your blog whenever you want no matter where you are even if you don’t have wifi you can use 3G.
A contestant on American Idol season 10 (2011) sang DREAMIN’ by Amos Lee which brought a huge new audience to this incredible singer. Here’s the original version by Amos Lee following by the lyrics and then the one by Scott Dangerfield from his audition on Idol.
I love this song not just because it’s simply beautiful and the vocals are heavenly but also because of its message. He knows people are calling him a dreamer and he accepts the fact that he is and he’s perfectly fine with it. He even boldly proclaims that he has every intention to continue doing just that, dreamin’. He also says that love is what pulls him through.
I love that because I know that I’m a dreamer too. It took me a long time to accept it and I’ve stopped thinking of it as a negative label. Quite frankly, I love being a dreamer in this crazy thing called life. Are you one too? Don’t let the dreamkillers steal your bliss or get in your way as you make your dreams come true. Remember that the road to every dream is littered with naysayers and excuse-makers so keep on dreamin’!
"Dreamin’"
My soul,
is as open as the sky.
Often time,
it’s just as blue.
People tell me,
I need to keep on dreamin’.
That’s just what I’m gonna do.
Now everybody,
wanna treat me like a house fly.
Turn me around,
and tell me to shoo.
Wanna tell me,
keep on dreamin’.
That’s just what I’m gonna do.
‘Cause every moral,
has a story.
Every hand needs a glow.
Sometimes it’s full of glory.
Oh, but mostly, it’s for the love.
It’s the love..
Mmm..
It’s the love.
It’s the love that pulls me through.
‘Cause when they tell me,
keep on dreamin’.
Thats just what I’m, I’m gonna, thats just what I’m gonna do.
Here’s Scott Dangerfield who did a wonderful job. He made it to Hollywood week but dropped out because he didn’t want to miss the start of his new career as a teacher. He might come back next year. I sure hope so.
Here’s an excellent documentary called “E-Dreams” (2001) which covers the amazing rise and monumental collapse of Kozmo.com which was one of the most successful startups in history. Watch how the founders turned a good idea into gold then watch them try to deal with the unexpected massive success and ultimately the historic downfall which was one of the biggest casualties of the dotcom bubble burst.
This is a must-see for anyone who’s interested in launching their own startup but it’s also just a very good documentary. If you loved “The Social Network” then you’ll appreciate this one too.
Here’s the entire movie e-Dreams on YouTube in 10 parts.
