I got this random burst of focus today. I got home and got straight to work on studying for the Philosophy and American Government exams I have tomorrow. I thought it was rather peculiar, but I'm actually really excited about it. I hope that this continues, I have two papers due next week and it would be nice to continue having this focus and determination to get things done.
I mean part of me didn't even want to blog right now because I didn't want to lose it. But I'm thinking that's not going to happen considering how quickly I am typing this out.My fingers are literally going to fast for my mind and I keep having to go back and rewrite words because they're spelled incorrectly, and we cannot have that on here.
I think it also helped for me to ignore my computer and phone unless absolutely necessary. My phone is currently plugged into the wall so there isn't easy access to it. And my lap top was on my desk, but I needed to access a power point for some answers to government questions. But I think as soon as I finish this blog it may go back. I'm not positive though because I want to continue listening to music.
My phone was providing earlier, but it died. But at the same time I want to shut it off so I can focus and also so I can save my Spotify hours. I feel like I'm going to get cut off soon, and then I'll only have the music I bothered to pay for. haha.
Also, I just realized tomorrow is the last day of Blog Every Day September. I'm kind of relieved. Only because I've kind of run out of topics to talk about, and I'm sure those of you who actually read this are sick of me complaining about everything. Woo. haha.

Day 29 - Music Influences
Disclaimer: I do not intend to offend anyone or take away his or her right to an opinion. This blog is strictly MY opinion.
Music has become a big part of my life. Not so much the playing aspect because I mean really, as much as I'd love to be able to play the piano or guitar, I can't. However, I do love to sing and listen to music. Over the years the bands and musicians I listen to have drastically changed in regards to the instrumentals, the lyrics, and my taste. And I've learned for a song to really catch my attention it needs to have both excellent lyrics and instrumentals, which of course is key to any song.
There have been times where I will just listen to the song for either, but I've come to the conclusion that I need to guard my ears. There's horrible music in the world today, and I find myself often times turning off the radio because I cannot stand the music. I don't think a lot of today's music is appropriate. Music is a big influence on everybody, especially younger generations. And with the things kids nowadays are being shown, we shouldn't be surprised of the ways they are acting and portraying themselves. If they saw it on so-and-so on television or so-and-so talked about it in their song, why wouldn't they find it acceptable?
I feel that music should be something that inspires as well as lifts you up. I don't need to know what you do in what should be the privacy of your home, who with, or what a not so eloquent vocabulary you have. I feel lyrics should be relatable to the listener or something the musician is truly feeling. And I feel that there are better ways to convey those feelings without using profanity and swearing. I find I'm more likely to listen to a song that makes sense as well. Rhyming is nice and all, but one should really think about the ultimate meaning.
I try to listen to all genres of music, but I'm really not a big fan of rap or country. I think rap is confusing and country is just depressing. Not all, but most. I like Christian Rock, Inspirational, Classical, Pop, Electronic, Jazz, Gospel, Alternative, and of course Soundtracks. I listen to a lot of Christian Rock bands like Relient K, Skillet, Switchfoot, The Almost, The Rocket Summer, The Mint, Third Day, and Stellar Kart to name a few. These bands are really good, and I find them better than anything on mainstream radio. My radio when I actually turn it on is either set to Air1 or KSGN.
Now before you start writing me nasty comments about how you think I'm wrong, I do understand that everyone has the right to express themselves in whatever way they wish, but so do I.
