somewhere out there
Monday, December 12th, 2005
when i was in the 7th grade, i joined a talent show. for that talent show, i sang somewhere out there. for those of you who don’t remember that song, it’s the title song for the cartoon movie an american tale. even i don’t remember the title of that movie, so i hope that my guess is right. the song starts out with "somewhere out there… beneath the pale moonlight… someone’s thinking of me… and loving me … tonight…."
i don’t know why i just thought about that. sometimes i wonder if anyone else is thinking the same thoughts as me somewhere around the world at the very same time that i am thinking that thought. i would start out with something broad. something broad can be: the word pen. is someone thinking about a pen somewhere else? of course someone is. so i narrow it down to: nice blue pen. yet of course someone somewhere can be thinking that same thought. someone can be buying a pen and they are thinking "nice blue pen." i keep going until i think of something more personal. i think about the 3 freckles that i have on my jaw that form a triangle. then i ask myself …. is anyone else having that same thought? probably not. who else has 3 freckles on their jaw that forms a triangle? and even if someone has them (now that i think about it, i do know a boy who has it too) are they thinking about them at the same time that i am thinking about mine???
nope! ooooh i had an original thought. i know. i sound retarded, but i’m sure there are people out there who have thought about something similar to this. i can’t be the only retarded person out there.
oh, i came in second place for that talent show. i still have my trophy at the parental unit’s house. lori, the girl that won also sang. she had voice lessons and i did not.
