The Music Lives...

So today oddly enough I was sitting and watching the VMA encore on the music in HD channel and Paramore came on to perform. Needless to say, I was stunned. I had heard their music before but something about watching it today made me feel enlightened and in some way overjoyed. There is something about music that moves me more with everyday. I know that most music is just a repetition of three chords, the same lyrics regurgitated to an extent but when someone is passionate about their art you can tell. If this is a rambling post than I apologize but when someone lets you into their world in as deep as a way as some performers you cant help but feel their pain or their joy. I find a way to take on the emotion of the artist and in turn correlate it to my own life. I encourage you to turn the lights off and listen to the Radiohead album "The Bends". Thom Yorke's hear and mindset is poignant in each song and you can't help but delve into his every emotion.

Think it through...

Maybe making the move was a bad idea. But I'm sure i'll be able to learn from it. Sometimes the things we think are the wrong choice end up being the best thing for us. I learn more from my mistakes than the things I get right on the first try. Maybe its because getting it right the first time makes me think things are easy and I forget what it means to actually work at something. Well I didnt get it right this time...but my wrong will hopefully be the most educational experience i've ever had.

Don't get me wrong...I love the area and I love most of the people but theres something missing. I was expecting something different then I got. The product that I was purchasing had a different description than what was on the box...and so on and so on. I am thinking about my next move..this time i'll know better to thoroughly think it through before making a rash choice.
