Life Or Something Like It

My life....as random and crazy as it seems.

[basicwhitegirlwhojustcanteven]

It’s been 10 years. 10 years of missing you. 10 years of not being able to call you or talk to you. 10 years of not hearing your laughter. 10 years of crying when I hear a song that reminds me of you. 10 years of “where did she put that recipe” or “ how did she make that again”. 10 years of grief and growth. I’ve missed you since this very day 10 years ago and I’ll continue to miss you every day for the rest of my life.

Never fear Swifties....after watching the Grammy performance, my 83 year old Swiftie dad said he’d find the 10 minute version of All Too Well. He said he’s got the time. @taylorswift

I’m not a nurse and I’m not a doctor. But I do work in a hospital. Most people overlook me and my coworkers because we don’t have direct contact with patients. But we are there. Making sure your insurance doesn’t deny your visit. Making sure to find you assistance and help you to get coverage if you don’t have insurance. When healthcare workers are telling you to stay home, please listen. Please stay home.

reblog if you respect a janitor way more than a CEO

So I like to listen to albums before I read the lyrics to see how much I get right and get wrong. To date, my favorite misheard is from Cruel Summer.

“He looks so pretty like a devil”

Four Catholic ladies are having coffee together, discussing how important their children are.

The first one tells her friends, “My son is a priest. When he walks into a room, everyone calls him “Father.”

The second Catholic woman chirps, “Well, my son is a Bishop. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, “Your Grace.”

The third Catholic woman says smugly, “Well, not to put you down, but my son is a cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, “Your Eminence.”

The fourth Catholic woman sips her coffee in silence. The first three women give her a subtle “Well…?”

She replies, “My son is a charismatic, 6'2”, hard-bodied male stripper. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, “My God.”

Awesome Jokes By Jeff is more like it

For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums. 

Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years. 

Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo) Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.

This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says ‘Music has value’, he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it. 

When I left my masters in Scott’s hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually he would sell them. Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words ‘Scooter Braun’ escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn’t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever. 

Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scott’s hands and not my future. And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make.

I will always be proud of my past work. But for a healthier option, Lover will be out August 23. 

Sad and grossed out,

💔

I love you to pieces. It’s so sad to think someone you trusted would do this. It’s criminal. Even if I wasn’t planning on buying all 4 special editions (which I totally was), I would be doing it now.
