Current mood:  tired

I honestly don't get what's so fun about blogging, but part of me wants to give it a try, so here goes, 











Hey there :)) 

Just a random question: 

Do you (YES YOU, THE PERSON READING THIS POST) ever find yourself thinking of certain songs whenever someone says certain phrases or words? Do songs ever pop into your head?

Like, let's say you're friend mentions they're painting a masterpiece and then you start singing, "My Masterpiece....is only mine, entirely guilty by design" which is a line from a MT song. All of my fellow Trenchers out there know who MT are: 










THE GREATEST CANADIAN BAND OF ALL TIME, WHICH IS MARIANAS TRENCH. 

Why are they so great? 

Well, the lead singer, Josh grew up in a family of musicans. His mom was a vocal coach, and one of her clients was the lead singer of ACDC and what did his dad do? He ran a recording studio, so Josh grew up in a musical family. 

As Josh got older, he struggled with not one, but two different eating disorders, the first of which was Anorexia. Soon after that, he got Bullima and then he started taking Heroin. His addiction became so bad that his parents told him that he either go to rehab or he'd be kicked out of the house and what did he do? He went to rehab. 


When he was in rehab, he was asked to do an activity with circles and each circle represented things that were important to you. Music meant so much more to him than his addiction did. In fact, he ended up writing a love song about his addiction. The song ended up getting added to the band's second album, which is called Masterpiece Theatre. 

Fun fact about Marianas Trench: The band's original name was Ramsay Fiction, probably because two of the band members were part of the Ramsay family (Josh and his older sister, Sarah).  Another fun fact about the band is Josh and Matt went to school together and were in choir together too. 

How did Ian (drums) and Mike (bass) become part of the band? Well, an ad was placed in the Georgia Straight Newpaper and Josh found Ian. Ian had a room mate at the time, who was Mike and since they couldn't find anyone, they asked Mike and he said yes. So, BOOM!!! That's how Marianas Trench came to be. 


One final fact that I will share about Marianas Trench is how they continued working hard in the business even though they were a flop at the beginning. It wasn't until they released their first single, "Shake Tramp," which was recorded at Burnaby Village Museum that they became the super famous band they are today. 


Anywayyyyyyyyyys, back to what I was talking about earlier. Sorry about the spammming. I'm just a girl with ADHD, so sometimes I can talk about random stuff, but hey, don't we all end up talking about one thing before moving onto another topic a second later sometimes? 

I tend to sing different lines from songs if someone says a certain thing. Idk why. I just do. Maybe it's because I love music a latte (did you see what I did there? :P ) or maybe it's due to my ADHD. Whatever the reason, I am proud of who I am and what I do. 


Let me know if you relate to any of this. 



Thank you and have a great night :))
