I'm Samantha and I love to skate. I also like to shake things up a bit

here is a very short story that I wrote tonight. It probably wont make a ton of sense to anyone, as it is just a fragment of a larger story that i've thought up over the past few years but never put to pen.




The only thing she ever believed in was the night and the music she could hear when night came. A familiar song drifted through the speakers, note by note caressing her mind. And in that moment she knew everything would be okay.

Some people live for a new day. Tomorrow. When everything would start a new, a time for new chances and new begining. But she wasn't like that. She never felt that way. She'd wake as the sun was falling deep into the dark pacific ocean. As she'd ready herself for her life, the last rays of light would slip away with the clouds and by the time she left home the moon shown bright.

"Why don't you believe in the light" he asked her once.

She looked at him, with a look of sadness that only a truly tormented person could hold.

"I may not believe in your light, but I believe in the light. Those lights." she told him, as she pointed out at the grid of the city lights from the balcony of her home. "Every one of those lights holds a life and I know I'm not alone. The light you believe in only reminds me I'm alone."

As much as she loved the night, she often secretly wished she could escape from the night for which she loved so much. The nights seemed endless. And what had once been a thrilling novelty had warn its way thin. But finding a way out of which you've grown to know, isn't always as easy as the wish for change. As not all change is good, practical or possible. And even when it is in face all three, it can be the hardest thing to obtain.

"Tonight I shall go see this band that I like preform." she told herself or a friend. More often than not she did. She always felt an epic high, as the first notes would start. Her feeling of joy would escalate as the songs grew faster and louder.

Certain bands that she would see would play soft beautiful songs, for which she loved. But these song would bring her sadness and longing. A longing for which she could never fulfill. A longing for that which she did not know she coveted. These were the songs she'd listen to when she sat alone, long as she'd sung along to "the taste of ink" at "4'oclock in the fucking morning", watching her beloved city lights fade and the sunrise. She'd listen to those songs afterwards, as she cried herself to sleep, with her thick curtains shutting out the first rays of sunlight.

"Why do you live in the night?" someone once asked her.

"The night is beautiful, as it is the only time you can see the light" she replied.

So i've decided to not spend another aimless summer interviewing bands and flitting around on scattered vacations to california and new york.. I want something new..... So I've decided I want to apply for summer internships in NY and LA...I'm thinking of applying for cnn and or sirius xm.... I was looking at internship req's, and they all ask for a resume... As I lost when i transfered all my files to my external hard drive, my old resume, i'm working on a new one..... here it is, though I feel like it's lacking a little:

Education:
I was home schooled from 4th grade on. I was enrolled at eleven in Stanford University's online gifted program. I also had private lessons in computer graphics, 3d computer animation, html & web design, French, and Japanese. For extra curricular activities I did: horseback riding, guitar, bass guitar, drums, various forms of dance, and vocal lessons.
At age sixteen, I enrolled in Scottsdale Community College taking various classes in their Broadcasting and Film school.

Work Experience:
Fourteen: I worked on the 2004 George W. Bush Presidential Re-election Campaign. I did phone banking at the Phoenix Republican Headquarters offices, as well as helped deliver yard signs.

Sixteen:
I hosted my own weekly radio show(for a year) on Scottsdale Community College/KFHX Fountain Hill's internet radio station. I got listeners from all over North America and even some from Europe, who enjoyed my banter as well as my selections in punk, alternative and metal music.

Seventeen:
I created a web blog,RockstarBaby.net, blogging about the latest new in the rock music world. Two weeks after starting the blog, I decided to go after getting interviews with bands, as being a journalist has always been my dream.
I've interviewed: 3!0h3, The 69 Eyes, The Academy Is, The Almost, Authority Zero, Circa Survive, Cisco Adler(tv personality), CKY, Clutch, Cobra Starship, Cute Is What We Aim For, Envy On The Coast, the Gym Class Heroes, Haste The Day, The Matches, Mike Vallely (professional skateboarder), Monty are I, Mindless Self Indulgence, Norma Jean, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Shwayze, and Story Of The Year.
I've had press credentials to: 2007 Cradle Of Filth tour, My Chemical Romance's "Welcome To The Black Parade Tour", The 2007 Alternative Press Tour, 2007 Honda Civic Tour starring Fall Out Boy, 2007 Van's Warped Tour, 2007 Projekt Revolution Tour, 2007 Family Values Tour, Bam Margera Presents Viva La Bands Tour, Cobra Starship's Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking Tour, 2008 Taste Of Chaos Tour, Club Tattoo's 10th Anniv' Party featuring Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, 2008 Van's Warped Tour, 2008 Maloof Money Cup Skateboard Competition, and the 2009 Avenged Sevenfold Tour.
I still keep up with RockstarBaby, though it's now shifted it's focus from just rock music to more of a general pop culture standpoint.

Matt Deis, bassist for the band CKY (famous for being on the MTV shows Jackass, Viva La Bam, and Bam's Unholy Union, as well as the CKY series of Skateboard movies), had me design and maintain his official web site. I did his web site for him from January, until October of that year, when he could no longer afford to keep a web site due to a band hiatus.

I had an article, that I wrote about Fall Out Boy, published in the Winter 2007 edition of Heart Magazine.

Eighteen:
I continued RockstarBaby.net.

I created my own street wear t-shirt line called The Dark Matter Project, which I sell online.
