A lot of us don't know what to do on 9/11.
It's a sad day, and it envelopes us in a dark, ominous mood, full of despair and fear. For, what really has changed or been done to restore our sense of security and safety?
The truth is, nothing CAN be done to undo the horror of 9/11. Truly, not even swift justice against the perpetrators would have erased those images, or made any of it "right." We learned the ultimate lessons of vulnerability and cruelty.
With time, the wound will heal, but we're left with a permanent scar that will never go away; a scar that permeates our DNA and will be passed as a vague uneasiness to our children and theirs.
Because our human spirit rails against such atrocity, we must find a way to persevere, to rise up again. In times of trouble and crisis, our human spirits shine and reveal themselves to others and ourselves as more powerful and loving than we ever could have imagined. Sometimes it takes a crisis to learn who we really are.
In the wake of the 9/11 tragedy, we did indeed rise up and bond as a collective whole, in a powerful force of unity and compassion. More than bombs, guns, and war, this force TRULY made an impact on our lives, it "righted" a lot of wrongs.
As humans, our unity made us stronger and gave us a purpose and something to cling to; in the face of cruel inhumanity, we clung to our own humanity and leaned on eachother for hope and support.
We needed eachother then, and we need eachother now.
Today, in remembrance of 9/11, I ask you to join me at My Good Deed (http://mygooddeed.org/) and participate as a way to honor the victims and heroes of 9/11 and preserve the spirit of unity and compassion that existed in the nation following the terrorist attacks.
You will join people and organizations everywhere who are pledging to keep the 9/11 spirit of unity alive by performing good deeds on 9/11 and every day throughout the year.
By standing up and celebrating your humanity in this way, you will TRULY fight against terrorism and those who hope to destroy us. This is a wonderful opportunity to remember, reclaim life, and to heal.
The story, as printed, follows:
GRAHAM - In recent years, American Idol and other talent hunting contests have garnered much attention eclipsing the smaller talent searches that still take place at local fairs around the country.
One such contest is the Colgate Country Showdown, which recently took place at the Mason County Fair July 28.
This country talent search takes small town talent and makes big dreams come true. The lure of cash prizes and a lofty title at stake, this contest is a serious deal in the world of Country music.
Country music is often thought of as a southern affair, but as 13-year old Jessica Jocoy is proving, even up north we have a little country in our hearts. She is currently an eighth-grader at Glacier Middle School in Buckley and recently participated in Colgate Country Showdown at the Mason County Fair. At the contest she beat out 11 other girls to obtain the title of runner up. It was Jocoy's first time entering a contest of this magnitude, but she said that even though it was her first time in such a contest she didn't let her nerves get to her. She said that even though the contest was difficult, her fellow "competitors were kind and friendly."
Darrell Jocoy, Jessica's father, thinks that for his daughter being the "youngest and shortest performer at this competition" she did exceptionally well.
They both agreed that even though the contests are fun they are still highly competitive; he believes that his daughter has a long way to go in her musical career and with a little more musical training and stage experience she will have no problems in the future obtaining the top prize.
Her runner-up status has by no means halted her young dreams of country music success as she continues to push forward by making new songs and learning more about the extensive field of music. She is currently working on various songs for her future album and her natural soothing voice has a wide range that lends itself to many other genres besides country.
Her natural talents have already begun to earn her a loyal fan base; she eagerly recalled a practice performance in Roy at the Grand Little Opry where an older woman came up to her after the show and politely said she came just to hear her sing.
Flattering comments such as these keep Jessica Jocoy actively pursuing her dreams of Country music success.
Currently she can be heard on online at www.onlinepopstar.com/community/Jessica-j, a website for young musicians to upload their musical tracks for fans and interested talent agents to listen to.
Onlinepopstar.com site functions similar to popular networking sites like Myspace, except its focus is centered on music and allowing young budding music artists to share their unique vocal sounds with the world.
Her future aspirations include completing an album and one day performing on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry similar to her favorite performer Martina McBride, a country singer whose powerful soothing voice is inspiration to the young artist.
She understands that competitions like these are hard and difficult, but says the best advice she has on dealing with nervousness and the pressure of contests of this magnitude is "to stay humble, don't be overconfident, and remember to keep coming back."
With these wise and inspiring words it's a safe bet that we haven't heard the last of Jessica Jocoy.
So country music fans keep your ears peeled for this budding country sensation in Graham.
To hear Jessica sing, please visit her web page and listen to a number of great performances, including her very first original composition, God Is Here.
Congrats to the TOP 5! There's a lot of great talent at OnlinePopstar!

Onlinepopstar.com, the world's ONLY international online karaoke contest website, is looking for judges for the online talent contest.
As a judge, you will be added to the OnlinePopstar Judges Panel and receive your own Judges bio page, complete with your bio, pictures, music, and advertising links.
Please visit the OnlinePopstar Judges link for an example: http://onlinepopstar.com/OurJudges.htm
OnlinePopstar.com receives over 70,000 hits/day and has seen 500% growth in each month since it's launch in January, 2006. This is a great opportunity for anyone in the music industry, music education, or entertainment business to help aspiring artists reach their goals as well as to promote themselves and their services and/or products to a targeted audience of singers and music industry professionals.
OnlinePopstar judges are also given the option to have their own forum in the members-only CyberStars forum. CyberStars is a rapidly-growing social networking community of karaoke lovers, singers, and fans. Here, you will also receive your own web page. You can post your articles, tips and advice here for our members and become known as an expert in your field.
DETAILS: As an OnlinePopstar judge, you will be required to spend approximately one hour per month scoring song submissions. You will be scoring only the top 5 singers each month. The scoring rubric is simple and is based on a 1-5 point scale on six different talent criteria. Your individual scores are never revealed to the contestants, just their collective scores from all judges are given. You are not expected to reveal your scores on any individual and are not expected to enter into any conversation with any contestants outside of the site.
Each OnlinePopstar judge hosts one edition of Inside The Singer's Studio, a live chat session on the site that allows the site members to chat live, ask questions and seek general advice.
REQUIREMENTS: OnlinePopstar is an industry leader in talent and our Judges Panel aims to be prestigious. To be chosen as an OnlinePopstar judge, you should work or have expertise in the music industry, have professional credentials or projects of merit that you have accomplished and have a great ear for vocal talent. You must be completely comfortable in scoring vocal competitors according to their level of talent; the contest is not a love-fest, we are looking for honest, accurate scoring from the judges panel.
Judge applicants will be asked to provide a brief bio/resume and references.
If you're interested in becoming an OnlinePopstar Judge, please send an email stating your interest, your bio details, references and a link to your website (if you have one.)
