Hey y'all!!! Sorry i haven't been blogging consistenly....been in Egypt, and Sarajevo!!! Did another Canadian Forces Tour!! 'Wow', and 'holy crap' are the best words to describe the trip!!!! Egypt was so different than I thought it would be. It was sooooo busy, frantic, crazy, outta control, and dirty. There are thousands of buildings, all red brick, unfinished with long steel poles sticking out of the tops with no roof. Apparently it's to avoid having to pay gov't taxes if they're homes are still a 'work in progress'. The streets and driving was LIFE THREATENING, I swear I'm not exaggerating!!!! I've never experienced driving on roads and highways like that. 3 lanes marked for traffic but 5 lanes of cars actually driving, literally an inch apart, horns blowing constantly with donkeys and bikes and children all over the streets. The pyramids of course were amazing and very humbling as well as the sphinx and riding a camel, but the market was another story!!! I was sooooo uncomfortable shopping with soooo much going on, tons of people, VERY pushy sales MEN, (no women selling), again sooooo frantic and noisy and spastic!!!!!! I love that I got to experience it, but was sooo uncomfortable. The men in Egypt are not like American men, I'll leave it at that, I couldn't buy one thing, I'm not aggressive enough to barter......!!!!!!!
Sarajevo is still very battered and torn down from the recent war, especially around the airport, but downtown was actually quite beautiful and 'European', hip, sophisticated, lot's of people out dining and shopping. The architecture was stunning. We stood on the bridge where WWI started!!! Check out all the photos I posted.
I feel very blessed to be able to experience these cultures all 'cause I can sing!!! Still shocking everyday that I'm 'still' a 'singer'.....I know you probably are all thinking I'm crazy, weird, but singing wasn't a natural, early gift......didn't start til 22....anyways..........
Christmas here again, already, it can't be!! Wow!!!! Are you ready? I'm not...but I'm excited, t's truly a great time of year. I get to go home and visit with my family who I miss soo much living so far from them.....So how's everyone??? What's new? What are you happy to leave behind in 2008?
Well, y'all have a GREAT Holiday!!!!! Actually 'screw' that, MERRY CHRISTMAS, there you have it, I believe in Jesus!!!!!! If it's offensive, too bad. - Love D
THANK YOU!!!

Aug 18 2008, 09:35 PMLoverboy Rocks / New CD
Hello, how y'all doing??? I'm grossed out that summer is approaching it's end!! Back to School ad campaigns make me ill!! Haa!!! I remember all too well how that felt to have to go back to school...summer was always tooo short!!!! Nothin's changed!!!!
Hmmm, let's see what's new...hmmm, well I just had the privilege of singing back ground vocals with Loverboy last week in Dallas, TX. What an honour to share the stage with a band that I LOVED waaayy back when!!!! Mike Reno still sings his a _ _ off!!!! Seriously, if you get a chance to go see'em, do it!! They had sooo many great tunes, it really is an awesome show to see. They're new album is GREAT as well, pick it up!!!!
Speaking of albums, i'm starting a new one!! I know I just finished my EP, but I wanna keep it going and do another and another and another, yeah!!!! Ideally, I'd love to put out an EP every 6 months, financially that's tough to do, but maybe with your help!??!?!?!? If I can sell enough of 'GFN' (my latest EP) then that one can pay for the next and so on.....so please go to my website and buy one, it's under $10, Christmas is coming!!!!! Here's the link: http://www.deannajohnston.net/merch.html
AND, thank you sooooooo much to those of you who already bought my CD's!!!! Until we 'blog' again.......D
