I Rock You!

All of us have our own dreams. Have our own goals. Our own desire. When we grow up, we want to be something. Something to be proud of. Something to show off in a whole wide world with our own kakayahan and talento. We want to be more, like with ourselves. We just want to be with who we are. By following our goals and dreams, walking on the stairs and illuminating ourselves with your own spotlight. But what if your dream is to be like a rockstar? Or like a Hannah Monatana role model and even Jonas Brothers likey-likey? Enough said about that. HAHAHA:]]

Then, I just fathom the lyrics of a song by Nickelback entitled "Rockstar". Like in a lyrics said, "I wanna be a rockstar. blah-blah-blah..". As I read a column in a magazine, I enjoyed reading it about a rockstar-wannabe and I just want it to share with you guys about it. So here it is.

You know you're a freakin' rockstar when you..

Always say "Talk to my manager".
Even to your closest friends. Often it turns out that your manager is infinitely more famous than you are.

Show up late for anything -- especially during concerts, rehearsals, and recording sessions.
And in the event you do, the industrial-strength smell of alcohol suddenly pervades the studio.

You release an album of electronic remixes.
By the leading DJs in the industry. Never mind if no one actually heard your songs in the original versions.

You suddenly adopt a one-word alias.
Because "Procopio Amadeus Corcolon, Jr." just doesn't rock the same way as "Edge," "Sky," or "Flash 24."

Begin hitting the gym and dieting.
'Cause you'll be peeling off your shirt after the fifth song.

You start avoiding the huge crowds.
For fear of being mobbed for photo-oops and autographs. That's why part of our band's tech rider stipulates for a battery of bodyguards. Or, like one semi-famous rock chick in the '90s, was reported going to Megamall wearing a disguise. Never mind if only a total of ten people knew who she was-even with a mask of.

You can't be made to wait.
Backstage, especially with.. eww, less famous bands. So the organizers would just call you at your van (rented, of course) 2-3 minutes before you're on. If possible, you can't even bothered to walk, so the van would squeeze into the backstage prod area, sending people frantically pushing aside gigantic apple boxes, guitar cases, bags, and monobloc chairs.

You begin hangout with artistas, socialites, models, and designers.
'Cause you know, like, they're cool and they're the only ones who understand your created temperament. But can never be trusted.

Every time you raise your arms the crowd goes nuts.
You twirl the mike stand, you stand on top of speakers and amplifiers, you jump, and you stage-dive when the crowd starts pulling.

You start your own charity.
Because you are naturally altruistic and you want to use your celebrity to make the world a better place. Like, yah, dude. Let's like, help the mahirap people naman and the youth because, dude, they're the future of our bansa...

You start appearing on 'The Buzz'.
Perhaps via rumors of romantic dalliances with a certain starlet. And charmingly you say,
"Friends lang po kami..." :)

Next year you'll be in rehab.
But don't worry, you'll stage a big comeback-at Zirkoh bar, as opening act for the gay standup comedian.

Let's face it. It is a reality guys. So, if you want to have the best of both worlds, just always be take your feet on the ground and never lalaki ang ulo. And remember, spotlights are reversible.
