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.

My mind is a jukebox.

My head is like my own person jukebox. I have 672 songs on my IPOD but I have about a million songs in my head.
There are so many days when I will hear just a single word and a song will pop in my head. Then, as I am so lucky, the song will be stuck in my head like an unwanted visitor coming to visit then staying for a few months and not leaving. I do not mind. It is nice to always have something to listen to. I enjoy having a jukebox in my head that plays on random 24/7.
The other day at work I was thinking of the song "High Hopes" by Frank Sinatra. I have no idea where the song came from but I could not help but sing along. No one at work knew the song I was thinking of and they looked at me like I was crazy. It is such an old song. I was not surprised at all they had not heard of it.
The two managers I was working with are my age and I guess do not listen to older music. They do not have as much of an appreciation for it as I do. I am not saying this to sound rude. It is simply the truth. They enjoy music but are blinded by music produced in their lifetime. If they are familiar with old songs it is the classics that everyone knows.
I was driving along the other day jamming to "Coronation March" from Star Wars. I felt empowered. I felt like my life should have been a movie at that point. Well this was quite random. All I wanted to do was to get my brain juices going so I am able to complete my essay that is due in two days.
