Behind the Summer Shades.

I think one of the reasons I started a new blog for the #summerblogs, is that there is a great relief in my in starting something over anew. However, with that feeling comes this deeppitted-ness where I worry that I'll get stuck and not be motivated to finish the task which I have started.

So here we ride.

#REALTALK

Hello, my name is Dominic Zappala. I'm 18 years old, and even thought I was accepted to most prestigious acting program in the country, I'm going to U of U this next fall. Furthermore, I don't even know why I'm going to acting school, because I'm a far better musician than I ever was an actor.

I have been studying music heavily for the better part of 13 years, and still have yet to make a name for my self. I have been living for 18 and will live another 75 or so, and probably will never make a name for myself. And that is my biggest fear.

Despite the social pressure and ridicule I may get, I spend most of my extra time playing competative video games, specifically Minecraft and Guns of Icarus Online, this may seem childish, but I don't care because I have lots of fun.

I'm honestly not as intelligent of a person as I may seem, I fake a lot of it, and I don't like anything flavored watermelon. I really like the feeling of warm printer paper, and, though it's cliché, the smell of a fresh rain.

Winter is my favourite season, and fun. is my favourite band. I also spell favourite with a "u," because that's how my mom always spelled it, as well it gives me a pretentious edge, which may or may not be a bad thing. I'm a rather {mostly underlying} pretentious person.

I hate myself more than I should, and never love others as much as they deserve. I live a secluded and introversive life because I hate person to person confrontation, and social situations give me anxiety. My parents probably do but don't hate me most of the time. {It's hard to tell}

I love life and living and discovering new things about this world. I am a 2 time state science fair winner and have sold my research to BYU numerous times. However, while I like discovering the new things of the universe, I enjoy the nuances of the universe as well. The reason I choose creativity over science, in a majority of circumstance, is because I value the ability to imagine and ponder in art, more than I do social and physical discovery.

I guess you could say we're all metaphisicists, which probably isn't even a thing, and makes me sound even more pretentious.

I love to lose myself to the emotions of the moon and the stars.

If there's anything you wish to know more, just ask, I'm an open book. {On the internet.}

Dominic.
