    if i intend to change my life, then i don't have time to stand in line just to hurry up and wait

ok, so, i'm taking a public speaking class and one of the things we have to do is give an informative speech. the speech has to be 5-7 minutes long, and we have to be knowledgeable about the subject.

me, being always ready to street team eric, i picked eric. (can you imagine 25 people forced to listen to 5 minutes on him?)

i want help filling the 5-7 minutes about eric. i know to talk about a little background, when he sorta popped (perez, his itunes record), and current stuff. i want help know which info to include and what not to include, and links to articles and videos, etc would be immensely helpful.

like i might seem too obsessive if i told the class i knew he was film major in college (it was in an interview :))

i know i could do this myself, but i really want to be too stalker-ish. maybe you guys could help with that?

Finding out an Eric Hutchinson concert is close to me is about as exciting for me as it is for a pig to find a big puddle of mud to roll around and splash in.

i did it today:

ok here goes:

i go up to ask if i can turn my outline in after i complete my speech, and she thinks i was asking to go today. i was expecting it, so it was no biggie. i was nervous anyway. i end up going third. i'm standing there, and someone in the front asks what my shirt means, and i'm like my speech topic. so i start my speech by just jumping into it. i really didn't know how to catch attention, i thought about maybe playing that who is eric hutchinson improv, but was unsure, so i didn't. i just started by saying i think great music should be shared and i love promoting my favorite musicians and i would like to talk to you about eric hutchinson. i start with song writer with catchy lyrics like dating a girl you're not sure is 18 yet. what he plays, his influences, college, playing coffee shops, bars, where ever he could. to some crowds of like 3. i talked discography, his deal that fell through with maverick, sounds like this, perez, what his singles are, tv appearances (i forgot to include his mj dedication :\) live shows, improv songs, i pointed at someone and said if he caught you texting, he would ask who the eff are you texting and write a song about it. i talked about his mash-ups. how he loves to meet fans, and i thanked everyone who helped. aww man, i think i forgot i def wanted to say how he likes to build a lasting relationship with his fans, but i overlooked it in my notes. :) for my conclusion, i threw my notes, 2 full size sheets of paper--so how i overlooked that quote is beyond me--on the floor, and said this means nothing to really get to know him you have to listen and started playing a little rock and roll, outside villanova, and a little my girl. she stopped me before it was able to get into ignition :)

overall, i'm not sure how i did. i feel like i was just throwing facts about him, and i mean, that's what an informative speech is isn't it?

she tapes them on dvd-r's i'm not sure if i'd be able to rip to youtube or not so you could watch it.

i got a 91 on my speech which is an A, and i agree with most comments that were said, i talked too fast, said um too many times, and some of peer reviews did say that i just threw facts at them and it wasn't really structured into points. it was, but i talked way to fast for them to understand. my whole speech is ~6 minutes long. i still need to watch it, but thought i'd check in here and let y'all know. ;)

so like yeah, here's a link:
