About to take my first… tumbl?
It’s 5:13 AM and the third and final interruption in tonight’s sleep. I won’t be attempting to go back to bed though because in the next 72 hours I will be (*TAKES A BIG BREATH*) gettingonaplanetonashvillemeetingwithamajorrecordlabelsingingatthebluebirdcafeon gezz. Ok so when I first heard that I had won CMT’s National “Country Strong” singing challenge, I was like out-of-my-mind CRAZY excited (no seriously, I started jumping up and down, crying in an airport terminal) and now the day is actually here and all I want is my mom to tell me to go back to bed so I can be ready for preschool later today. Big, BIG, baby! Right Here! It’s one of those moments where you realize everything you have ever wanted in life has led up to this. This one meeting with this HUGE big deal record label could quite possibly change my entire life. Then again, it could also mean nothing! I could literally walk in there (demo package in hand) and them say “No thanks! Just wanted to say “Hi” and thanks for entering the contest! We got alot of promotion from it towards the movie” and I would say “Oh! Okay cool!” and peace out. who knows. I’m afraid. and nervous. Which is odd because (and I’m really not kidding), I never get nervous. I’ve been singing/performing for a while now and big crowds don’t scare me! I think its because I’m putting too much pressure on myself rather then just letting it all go and simply do what is asked of me on this trip. If something happens, great. If something doesn’t happen, well I still got to go to Nashville and meet a really important person in the music industry! Okay Brittany, just remember that and you’ll be good. No pressure… I’m about to get out of bed to get ready for a car that will be here in 90 minutes to take us to the airport (fancy, fancy)… It’s a day late and all (actually 31 hours late) but I’d like to make a toast to the new year… “Here is to possibilities, opportunities, family, great supportive friends, and to having faith. In myself and in God. If I don’t have this under control, at least he does!” xo bd
