i'm sorry i haven't been on blogger recently; i've been really busy, but i found a moment to write tonight. i'm a sucker for good quotes...some of my favorites are here:
"It's not what you are that holds you back, it's what you think you're not" -Denis Waitely
"We have these big dreams,but many aren't willing to take the steps to go after them" -Francesca Battistelli
“So celebrate what you're accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed.”-Mia Hamm
"Reach
high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes
the goal." -Pamela Vaull Starr
"Worst day of your life? There's a Tenth Avenue North song for that. Actually, there's a whole album. #TheStruggle" -@macilynn17 (twitter)
So, i guess that's all for now! oh, if you have any quotes, i'd LOVE to hear them! follow, comment...please!!
anyways, my dream has always been to visit Ireland. yess, Ireland! see? you have to agree that it's beautiful...
Ahh...Ireland...i always joked that i'd want to move there after college. lol maybe i was JUST kidding. ;)
the band The High Kings is my favorite Irish band on the entire face of the earth!
on July 22, 2011, at 6:20(ish)at the Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival, i had the priviledge of meeting them. they sang my fave Irish song to me: "The Fields of Anthenry" and Darren Holden gave me a custom made guitar pick that says The HK's on it. if that wasn't enough, we went back last year and almost exactly one year from the day we met, their last show at around 9:45, i got up and sang "Fields" with them...all by myself. it was pretty nerve-wracking but it was awesome too. there, i said my "not-so-well-kept-secret." that's probably because i'm on youtube. lol. if you want to see me sing, here it is!
meeting the High Kings was a dream come true in itself not to mention singing with them! wow...
and that is also how i met and bonded with Anna, and Michaela. and also our friend in PA, Rachael.
so that is one of my favorite days of 2012. i'd love to hear what your fave days were!
my other fave Irish bands are the New Barleycorn, and Mary's Lane. i've seen both of them at our local Irish pub. well, actually that's a false statement 'cuz i've seen the Barleycorn there and Mary's Ln. at our Candlelight walk in November. usually the Irish pub, Sully's, is PACKED when we see the Barleycorn. Mary's Lane is sorta "rock-ish" if you know what i mean...the Barleycorn is AHHH-MAZING!!! i've know them since i was, like, 7 so they are really good friends of my family.
Hi Everyone! i'm soo sorry i haven't been able to blog lately! i've been so busy with the holidays and everything. my life is so busy full of things it's hard to do anything but school, and my activities.
yes, and as you can see, my fave hobby has to be soccer. my goal is to get good enough to play professionally one day. i don't know though. i have always wanted to be a vet, probably because i grew up with so many animals. i know, i'm only a freshman in high school, why am i thinking about college right now?? if you think about it, college is not that far off. i kinda wanted to go to UCLA (University of Cali in LA) but i've been rethinking that possibility and almost trying to rule that out. i said ALMOST. right now, i want to go to OSU (Ohio State- not Oklahoma State) and go to vet school there (i have to get accepted first tho). but if i play soccer in h.s. if i go to public, and get an athletic scholarship (can ya tell i'm thinking about all my possible options?), i might have to reconsider a major. so yeah, that's pretty much everything that's going on today right now. i'd love to hear about your holiday and what your family does! i'd tell ya now what we do here, but thats a different entry!
Hey guys! i'm sorry i haven't put up any blogs yet. i guess my blogging obsession just hasn't come yet.haha Well i should tell you a little about myself, huh? My name is Mackenzie and I am turning 15 in 5 days!!! i'm sooooo excited... My family and i own 2 horses, a donkey, a pony, a goat, a mini horse, a swan, an African grey parrot, 3 dogs, and about 15 cats/kittens(And counting!! All but two are barn cats..)
