What are YOU thankful for today?

Wednesday, October 13th, is an awesome day. I am thankful for it in 10 ways.

1. I have no classes today.
2. I am substitute-co-anchoring for Campus TV's Eastern Weekly today (thanks to @busystudent, Orlando Bailey!)
3. I am going to visit a old friend who has moved back to Ypsi with her husband and BABY!
4. I have no immediate homework to take care of.
5. I have the funds to not feel bad about getting Jimmy John's delivered to my apartment...
6. My coffee is delicious (thanks to WHITDAWG!)!
7. EMU's President Sue Martin release this on the EMU website. Thank God.
8. I am a part of a WONDERFUL group of people called The Dan Rafferty Band, who I get to travel to Cleveland with this weekend for business (I never thought I'd get to say THAT so soon!).
9. I have no allergies acting up today for the first time in almost a whole month. Perfect timing.
10. And lastly, I am thankful for my sanity; my emotional state; my newest ability to feel fine without having someone there to be dependent upon. I am single and not "talking" to boys. And I like it. No Pressure.

What are YOU thankful for today??

at peace.

The title says it all; I'm feeling at peace today with my life. To make it even better, I've compiled some inspiring (and peaceful) images for you to chill out to.

Enjoy!

 

Do it.

A Letter from the Editor

To Whom This May Concern:

You all saw it happen; my relationship status on Facebook went from 'engaged to Al Bonacorsi' to 'single' on Thursday night.

As a disclaimer, I want to say this is post is not about me venting about a relationship Dr. Phil himself couldn't save. This is about the people whom I love knowing that I am [almost] at peace with losing my other-half. And to those of you who have reached out to help me, I thank you dearly. I have never felt more alone than I do at this moment and you all are helping me through it marvelously.

But I know what went wrong.

Al and I fell madly in love when we were 15 years old and had the most perfect relationship in the world. Then, when we were both 16-going-on-17, Al made a good decision to leave the city of Center Line and continue high school in Plymouth, where he would live with his father, step-mother, and three siblings all under the age of 10.

I was devastated.

As we all know, the long distance killed us both and so early in 2006, Al took it upon himself to be the pants-wearer in the relationship and end it for the better. We didn't talk again until late 2007.

My relationship with another boy was ending violently and Al happened to be slowly returning into my life, with a few phone calls here and there regarding girl or music advice. Here lies the problem.

We partied at his apartment, went out with his friends, and did normal 19-year-old things; we felt as if we'd never broken up; we'd picked up where we'd left off. And it was beautiful.

About six months after the rediscovered happiness, Al made a decision, for our future, that would change everything.

On October 3, 2008, Al left for a 4-year stint in the U.S. Navy and never looked back. Of course, he proposed to me on September 21st before he left, to assure me that just because he was leaving, he was just as serious about the relationship as I was.

But the year he was gone I saw him a grand total of one month and it killed me. I went from seeing him everyday to drastically only talking to him less once every couple of weeks. During marching season, I'd miss his weekly Saturday morning phone calls and it hurt so much that even now I tear up thinking about it.

We got through the distance but I was never the same. He returned from the Navy right before Halloween 2009 and had no intention of going back. He was staying with me; I did it; I had him back, all to myself.

I had him back, all to myself, but I couldn't remember how.

After that year of dependent living as a college kid with 19 credits, a part-time job, a marching band, and a dream of a music career, I'd forgotten how to have a relationship with somebody in person.

He checked back in and I was already checked out.

For a year, we'd been struggling with time, or lack thereof. We had our differences but overall, they weren't big enough to worry over. We used to say that our biggest argument was debating whether or not Batman was a superhero... I only wish I could still say the same thing.

Through 2010 we noticed little things going wrong here and there. Then bigger arguments began occurring that involved picking apart each-other like monkeys picking lice out of each-other's hair... This transformation hurt the most. We had become two people who care about each other deeply but can't seem to be together for too long without getting annoyed with the other's presence.

That brings us to today. We grew up together and we grew apart together. We're not the same people we were before he left and that's not either of our faults. We can blame each other for changing, or for becoming more emotional, or for growing up too fast, or for not growing up enough, but what does that solve?

We care about each other enough to know that we don't belong together anymore. Our childhood love is in our memories and our most recently found love exists in the form of friendship, no longer romance. We lost our spark. It happens. I never thought in a million years that I'd have to say (or write) it but it happens.

I'm sorry for the way it had to brutally and slowly end, but we were both just too chickenshit to call 'em like we see 'em. I'm also sorry because Al loves me more than anyone in the whole world could love another person. And I took it for granted. We have petty differences; everyone does. But I couldn't let him love me because of them. And now I know what I had and it's gone, as corny as that may be.

However, we both do have a lot of growing up to do and I feel that this is simply a warning that if we don't do it alone it's gonna get uglier than it has been in the past. I don't think anyone wants to witness that.

The bottom line is this: We will always love each other, no matter what sort of childish shit Al pulls on me or what sort of emotional PMS I lash out at him. I always tell people, "If it's meant to be, it will be," and that's all I can tell myself right now. We will always love each other but it's just not meant to be.

TRUTH

(an e-mail I received from my uncle)

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

 

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

 

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

 

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

 

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

 

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

 

7. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

 

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

 

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

 

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

 

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

 

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I  don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

 

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

 

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

 

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to   voice mail . What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

 

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

 

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

 

18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

 

19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite   than Kay.

 

20. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

 

21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.

 

22. I would rather try to carry 10 over-loaded plastic bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

 

23. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

 

24. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

 

25. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

 

26. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

 

27. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber and dumber every year?

 

28. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

 

29. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate bicyclists, the rules of the road dont apply to them .

 

30. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

 

31. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 17 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

I am so influencable...

I was doing some research this morning on the music that the DRB plays at our gigs and I realized something. There is not one bone in my body that isn't a piece of some influential music artist. My stage presence has nothing to do with me... and that's a problem to me.

I don't want people to constantly tell me that I remind them of this person or that.... and while that is a HUGE compliment, I'd rather people say that I'm different on stage and that no one else they've seen lately performs like that.

With Gaga on the scene, it's hard to be any more original than that stageshow...

But overall, my influences are a basic list of the following:
Alecia 'P!nk' Moore,
Brody Dalle (The Distillers, Spinnerette),
Monique Powell (Save Ferris),
Amy Lee (Evanescence),
Pat Benatar,
Etta James,
Steven Tyler (Aerosmith),
Michelle Branch,
Spice Girls,
Axl Rose (Guns N Roses),
Lauryn Hill,
Christina Aguilera,
Lady Gaga
Brad Delp (Boston),
Janis Joplin,
Michael Jackson.

I think that explains a lot about why I sound the way I do. But with all those people influencing me constantly, how am I supposed to find myself in there?

MORE DATES TO COME!

I HEART the 90s!

Yesterday I posted a new pic on Facebook and other social networking sites that seriously reminded me of the 90s. So I wanted to do a 90s tribute this morning. Here are MY top phootgraphs from the 90s that has seriously inspired me. Enjoy!!

The Deal.

I can officially start to promote the crap out of the band I am in!!! They are called The Dan Rafferty Band and I have my FIRST public appearance with them in 1 week from today! It is the Saline Summer Concert Series from 7-9pm!! Click on the link for details on location!

Thanks for hanging in there with my hi-jacked information! I'm glad I can finally tell everyone!

I hope to see some of you there!!

Much love, ErinElise

I didn't win, but I totally won.

So, as many of you know, I did not win the 1-yr position of WRIF Rock Girl. BUT based on the voting, I made it to the TOP 4! That's HUGE!! Thank you guys for all that support! I couldn't have gotten that close to the $40,000 without YOU!

However, I am getting an internship out of it now that I did not win. So this is why I say that I didn't win but I totally won :-) Either way, I was to get something out of it. The final details of my internship should be worked out by Monday morning.

The last few nights at work have been awesome!! In just three nights I made just under $400 in tips! Clearly, PUB13 is where it's at. You are always welcome to come and visit :-) Besides the rain/tornado warnings tonight, I can't believe how well I did! Serving is definitely a love/hate relationship with me... a night can turn bad very quickly...

So right about now I'm going to put in Freddy no. 5 (since I already watched 3 and 4 before work today), have some wine, and tidy up the apartment a little bit so the beloved roomie doesn't have to put up with it when she comes home in the morning... or so I don't have to put up with it in the morning for that matter... who likes waking up to a mess on the kitchen table?

"Not I", said the mouse.

Oh, friend, you've left me speechless...

I haven't blogged in a while but since I have next-to-nothing to do today I thought I'd jam to some Gaga and write off my life.

It's been a while...

I realize I haven't blogged in literally a month, but here are the reasons why:

1. BIGGBY shows in January were going so well that I decided only to do them until Jan. 31st, where I actually made about $50.

2. I decided to quit doing BIGGBY gigs for now because I am currently enrolled in 19 credit hours at Eastern.

3. My Eagle Radio show is well under way on its seventh show coming up on March 8th - Mondays from 5-7pm EST. I am the main DJ and the director of my student radio show for credit to graduate. Listen in at http://www.eagleradio.org/ or just click the link above :-)

4. I got a job at Pub 13 here in Ypsilanti, MI, and I've been working 3 nights a week, making about $100 a night, plus my bi-weekly check of about $100, as well; Not bad for a college kid attempting to pay the bills.

5. I have been trying to continue my work as a musician, and now with Al being home since Halloween, it's only gotten harder to find time to write music and lyrics. HOWEVER, I have a recording date with one of my coworkers at Pub who has a basement studio at his place. That date is March 2nd.

Now that we have an understanding, I want to thank you all for continuing to watch my videos and support me attempting to get discovered using this sill World Wide Web thing that has crippled us all so very much.

Despite what you may think, I am still here, alive and pumping through my Bachelor of Arts with only a few more months to go...

I will be famous one day; oh yes, I will be famous one day...

LADY GAGA!!! (Joe Louis Arena, Detroit, MI 1/13/10)

Check out my two videos I made from the GAGA concert!!

Enjoy :-)
