…I didn’t make it to the Zumba class today and that sucked because I was kinda looking forward to it…left the house late because of my friend and then we got lost on the way…I mean we could see the hotel but we just kept going in circles around it…even the people we asked for directions didn’t help…so much for that…oh well, I guess some other time…
so today’s challenge is to write about something I feel strongly about…off the top of my head, I’d have to say music…I love listening to music…j’adore musique!!! I’m not sure when exactly it was that I started liking music because I vividly remember a time when I hated the MTV channel…back then cartoon network, most especially “dexter’s lab” was the bees knees…ooooooHhhhh…now times have changed…I can’t stand cartoons and I love music…still not too keen on the MTV channel though…especially with those random freaky ads/watchumacalits they have going on…now I don’t actively search for new music to like and neither do I have a particular genre I listen to…but when I listen to a song, anything about the song that stands out for me just gets me hooked…it could be the way the song starts/the way the artist voiced a note/said a line/the instruments used/…etc. Pianos, violins, guitars and drums…the combination of those gets me every time…I remember the first time I heard Eminem’s stan…I cried…okay not exactly cried but tears fell out of my eyes…like you know when your heart’s so full of gladness…yeah like that…I used to love that song so much that even if I was asleep and it was playing, I’d wake up…Dido can sing!!! Really though, music strikes me in emotional places…and I’ve got different categories for them…as usual I’ve blanked again but I’ll just write about those I remember…
– “floating” songs e.g. Frank Ocean’s “we all try” or Talib Kweli’s “Talk to you”…I call them floating songs because of the way I feel when I listen to them…you know when you are in the pool and you float…you feel weightless, in your own world…at peace…introspective…yeah…like that…
– “happy” songs…first on that list would have to be Toploader’s “dancing in the moonlight”…there’s something about that song that just perks me up right away…ooooh and Daft Punk’s “aerodynamics”…me likey a lot!
…There’s also the emotional, angry, silly, etc categories but I’m tired of typing now…typing for long on a phone sucks and the internet connection is pms-ing so I’m going to bed…
Random thought: eating oily fish (sardines, salmon and them lot) improves your memory…bon nuit!
