Music
Music is a wonderful thing.
There are a lot of reasons why music is wonderful, but right now, I'm going to talk about one of them.
One of the things I find personally wonderful about music is the way it can inspire people in different situations.
For instance, blogging. If you're writing a long and meaningful blog, listening to heavy metal may not be exactly helpful.
Another example, if you are writing a letter to someone, explaining that your cousin is sick, it may not be helpful to listen to Pink blast out "Fun House"
And why you ask? Because, ultimately, music affects your mood. It can make you feel so many different emotions.
I personally find it hard writing a blog when I'm listening to something loud and in-you're-face. Well, of course, if I'm ranting about something it may help. Ha ha ha.
Right now I'm listening to "Hey Stephen" by Taylor Swift, and I feel very in-the-moment. At the moment I feel like what I'm doing right now, blogging, is the most important thing. The music is only the background, the canvas, and writing/blogging is the picture on top of that. If that makes sense...
For example:
An hour or so ago I was downloading cutenews. I was very distracted and jumpy (unsettled), I was getting things wrong, downloading wrong files. It was so annoying! I was ripping my hair out!
Then i sat down and closed my eyes.
Finally I realized I was listening to some ridiculous song my friend recommended. It was loud and kind of annoying.
I changed it to a favorite song, and 10 minutes later...
BAM!
I was done, and I felt great, and thats when it hit me. The perfect idea for a blog. Music!
So that's my blog for the day! Hmmm, now I can relax.
Wait...didn't I want to download those new smileys? Argh! Maybe I'll relax later...
