Just getting started!

Hello world!

So here is my first blog. I'm excited to get started. I know I have a lot to share and have finally found an outlet to do that with. This Blog is called Dom's eyes for the soul purpose of letting you see how I view the world and experiencing life through my eyes. It's genius, I know, and I wish I could take all the credit, but my great friend Ruth (who built my website/this blog) and I came up with it together after a few failed ideas.
This isn't going to be a long post as I am currently running late for school (welcome to my life) and will be preparing to go to Toronto tomorrow morning bright and early! You may ask "Dominique why would you be going to Toronto?" Well lovely person asking question who I just made up, Other than going to see my good friends who live there, I am also going to a little thing called....MY AMERICAN IDIOT AUDITION! Yes that's right. I'm auditioning for the first National Tour of American Idiot and am so excited.
So a little background on me and American Idiot.
First of all, I've been listening to Green Day ever since I was a little girl and grew up with their positive messages of peace and love (sometimes wrapped up...ok usually wrapped up in a F*ck the system kind of manner), and was not only driven to become the woman I am today by their lyrics, but I suppose I should give some of the credit to them as to why I even started singing. But that's a whole other Kettle of Fish, as my British friend Lee would say, and I promise to get into more detail some other time. Long story short..blah blah blah I have always loved Green Day. So obviously when American Idiot the musical came out Liza was on that like brown on brown rice (political correctness). I went to see the show 13 times and died every single time at the EMENSE amount of talent and energy and love and dedication and fun and heart that went into that show night after night. I told myself after the first time I saw it that I would be in the show. And I know that I will be. Now that doesn't mean I'll get in this time. I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket, but you know when you're just right for something and you feel it in your heart? Well this is what this feels like.
I have become very emotionally attached to this show. That's what I do. I'm the kind of person who invest's in things and in turn, it's easier to get hurt that way. But in my eyes I think it makes life more worth while. When I found out that American Idiot was closing on broadway, I had a reaction that people who don't know me might judge me for, but regardless I couldn't help feeling the deep sadness I felt, having made it such a huge part of my life. I'm better now and am looking forward to what's to come. I know that this audition is the beginning of something great. I'm not sure what that something is yet, but by golly, as they say in Next to Normal, "it's gonna be good".

I'm really excited to share my life with you. I think it'll be fun. We'll share a few laughs, and perhaps shed a few tears, and I hope you enjoy seeing the world through my eyes!

Love,

Dominique
