Believe That Dreams Come True Everyday

So anyone out there gazing into their TV screens every Sunday night at 7:30pm watching Australian Idol? Well I do. For some, no one really cares about Australian Idol anymore. Probably the last time they did was when Guy Sebastian won the crown of Australian Idol in it's first year. I love Australian Idol, because I'm a singer and because I love seeing people live out their dream. It melts my heart and it brings me into overwhelming emotions. There's three people I want to win Australian Idol this year and that's Kim, Hayley and Stan. I just think they're amazing. I watch them living out my dream, using the stage they are given by Australian Idol and using the voice they've been given by God and entertaining people and making them feel something. I went to audition for Australian Idol back in 2007. I waited for 7 hours to audition in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena. I remember hanging with a high school friend and her friends, practicing what I was going to sing in front of them and they adored me. My time to audition had finally come and I went inside that room with three old ladies gazing at me and I came in with guns blazing, with my heart and dream on my sleeves as fear and nerves struck me but I used it. They were going to give it to me but they said No. And my high school friends' friends, who thought I would have gotten in were disappointed and they turned away from me. A girl wanted my autograph before the audition when I didn't get in she didn't want it anymore. It's something that sticks out to me in my life. But I continue singing at church and I practice writing my own songs at home. It was always a dream of mine to sing and sing the songs I wrote and to play the songs I wrote. I feel like I ruined it by smoking and my voice could have been better, if I never did.
I also wanted to be a cartoonist, a pastor and a professional wrestler. But these things that I wanted to do when I was a child has changed and the only thing that sticks is that dream to be a recording artist.

But life causes your dreams and ambitions to change. In Year 9, I decided I wanted to show the world my life. I wanted to show the world what I've been through and for them to notice me. I wanted to express myself by showing what my mind thinks and what my heart feels and what my soul reaps. I started to write poetry and raps and that's exactly how I got into expressing myself. I felt like songwriting was great and I loved poetry and rap. I loved the creativity, I loved the freedom of expression and emotions, it caught me and grabbed my attention, this was leading into something I wanted to do. I started to write stories about violence, love and havoc and mayhem, about drugs, alcohol and sex and music. I watched movies and TV Shows and enjoy them but I also listen into dialogue and I also look closely at how they put the story together because everything intrigues me about film. TV Shows that made me want to write even more were The OC, Californication and One Tree Hill and I loved Prison Break, CSI, Dexter and LOST. When I thought about these TV Shows that I adored and loved, I wanted to write my own and combine these altogether to create something that I could print my name on. That's when I wanted to create a TV series. It was a big dream but I wanted it real bad. I love singing, I'd love to preach one day, I love wrestling and drawing, but writing, if I became a writer and got to be a creator of a TV series, it would be an absolute dream come true. As some of you may know, ever since I stopped going to school I've been writing a story called 'When Two World's Collide' and I'm on my 9th draft. I've always changed it and thought about what would work together and tried to get ideas from my favourite TV shows to see what worked, what didn't, what was too predictable, why these were so great, I started to think like a creator or a TV series. People continued to tell me to go to school and make it happen. They told me to gather more skills and develop my writing ability. I needed to make the dream happen.

Well the dream begins on October 7th, 2009 at 6pm. I'll be beginning with a short course in Creative Writing. It's small, but hell, it's a start. As I think about it, it can get me there one day. Every dream starts off small and short and every day that passes brings you one day closer to that dream. That's why they say 'Believe that dreams come true everyday.' Because I'm going to be living it now. I'm not saying that I've made it, I'm saying that it's begun and I'm going to work my arse off to get it because I've wanted an opportunity to climb the ladder to becoming a TV series writer/creator for a long time. Sometimes a man just needs a break, sometimes a man needs a goal, sometimes a man needs to feel happiness. I've been through hell and walked through it many times, I need to know that there's a world of happiness and joy.

Believe that dreams come true everyday ... because they do.
