Music

 A lot of my personality is wrapped around school. The majority of my friends are my class mates, and the majority of the conversationsi have are about schoolwork, teachers, other stuff that happened in class, etc. Because school encompasses so much of my life I plan on writing about anything but school. No need to drag it into a blog when there's no need. So back to the topic: MUSIC!!!!!

Anyone that knows me knows i go hard when it comes to music. I listen to damn near any type of music, and flaunt my diverse musicall collection anywhere i go. I am pretty much attached to my iPod. It is a major necessity in my life. I sound so dramatic, but its true.

Pop:
For some reason this music video just spoke to me this week. It's a cheesey pop song and everything but the message is sweet and i really connected to two or three people in the video. And as one of my best friends says, "I live for the cheesey stuff": Katy Perry's Firework

plus I'm a sucker for violins in modern music

Hip-Hiop/Rap: Wiz Khalifa's Black and Yellow
I've heard people mention this guy around campus but this is the first song I've heard by him. I see why people have his name on the tip of their tounges.

R&B/Soul: Jazmine Sullivan's 10 Seconds
Let me just start out by saying that Jazzy is the absolute shit. Her music can build you up or tear you apart, which is what "good" music should be able too do. Something about her voice is sooo attractive too. Not sexually attractive, but I when I hear her I want to hear more.

Rock: Linkin Park's Robot Boy
I think Linkin Park are simply the kings of rock music genre.... if you consider them rock that is. I think they're the predecessors to some of the the emerging groups that simply transcend genres and stand as they are, like them or not.

Alternative: Two Door Cinema Club's Something Good Can Work
This group was one of iTunes' free singles of the week a long time ago. Since then I've incereased my collection of music by them. This has to be one of my favorites though. If you haven't heard them yet, you will. I think they'll be big if they get the right breaks

Wild Card: Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrel's Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Thanks to my Dad I've recently increased my motown collection and this has to be one of my favorite of that era. Honestly who doesn't love this song. But these two people belt it out on this song, you simply can touch them.

If there's any music ya'll think I should listen too feel free to share. I don't promise to like it, but I probably will anyways.

So... You have a blog

.....but now what? I guess I feel like this blog is a necessary step for me. As of lately I feel like I've lost myself, and for whatever reason, getting back to a place where i'm happy is too hard to do. I want to get back to this place on my own, which is going to require a lot of self-reflection....so why not start a blog. Once I've found my way back to where-ever I'm trying to go, I'll be able to look back on this journey and smile and laugh at how insignificant my problems probably are. So the purpose of this blog is to find a way to re-invent myself. And since this first post is sorta bumming me out already i promise to myself and to any other readers (if i tell anyone about this) to keep it lighter. Not everything will be all I hate my life, I'm so horribly lost!!!! Though some days I may feel like that. So this will be my artistic outlet.... music that I like, poems I may write, funny things that happen on campus, everything will be posted here. So I have a blog and now I'm starting to be.... reinvented
