Welcome to my blog!

I am an English major. They say practice makes perfect so here I am practicing my writing in hopes that some day I will be perfect.
This is the world according to me.
I hope you enjoy my insight as much as I enjoy writing it.

Music to my ears

Think about your favorite song. Think about how it makes you feel. Why is it your favorite song? Think of one line in the song. I am sure after listening to it over and over again you can sing the song from memory. It is a song that no matter how rough or long a day is, your whole world is complete. Music is an amazing thing. It can take the worse day and make it better. It can take a good day and make it bad. It does amazing things in movies. It adds suspense. It adds romance. It tells helps tell the story. Music is life. You can say that you do not like music but that is a lie. Everyone likes music. Everyone has an artist they love. Everyone has that one song that just makes the day worth it. Everyone has a genre. A genre can tell a lot about a person. Me? I listen to EVERYTHING. That is not an exaggeration. I can go from Beethoven to Eminem to Taylor Swift. It does not even phase me. My IPOD must have bipolar when I put it on random. I never know what is going to play next. Quite frankly, I like it like that. I like the unexpected surprise of not knowing what my IPOD will play for me. I put all that music on there but I never know what order it is going to play the songs for me.
Anyways, I am getting off topic like always....
I worked a REALLY long shift at work yesterday. By REALLY long I mean like 14 hours. No joke. When I got into my car I was exhausted and ready for bed. I just wanted to take a shower and call it a day. I turned on my radio and THE SONG came on. The one song that makes my day better no matter how bad it was. Jimmy Eat World-The Middle. It makes me smile every time. It never fails. It just makes me smile. It has such a positive message. It is as if they wrote that song with me in mind. It is my theme song. No joke.
Hey
Don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out
Or looked down on
Just do your best
Be everything you can
....

See?
I told you!
That song is amazing.
I mean yeah it is a little longer than that.
It is the ultimate self esteem pick me up song.
I love them.
No one knows a lot about them.
They are barely on the radio.
They only release a new song every few years.
I am okay with that.
Come September 26th, I am going to purchase their new c.d.
Yes I am crazy for Jimmy Eat World and I am okay with that. I like that you do not hear a lot about them. They are a well known band that is not so well known...
Now if they would only tour in Michigan so I could see them play live...
Then my life would be complete.
(Why is stupid Adam Lambert going through my head? Ugh.)
Then there are songs that just remind me of certain people.
I hear the songs and I go oh...I should call so and so.
Devin has a song. It is All my Lovin-The Beatles. When ever I hear that I get happy because it probably means he is calling me and I will be able to hear his voice. I will be able to talk to him for a brief amount of time. I cherish every moment that I am able to talk to him and just hear his voice.
What is your favorite song? Why do you like it so much? What makes it the ONE song that always makes your day?
