♪♫ Musique ♫♪

What kind of music do you like?
Me personally: Tec-funk, alternative, electro, reggae, and R&B (and then pretty much anything I can dance or sing to)

I have this feeling, and I’m sure a lot of people have this feeling too, that music is a definer of human existence.  I mean, think back. In your history class, was there ever a period of history that had no form of music? The ancients used music to tell stories just as we do today. 

There is this constant hunger for music within me.  If it ceased to exist, I believe that I might also disappear into the void.  Most often, I find myself unable to control myself and I just bust out in song, maybe even an occasional dance too.  You very seldom find me without my iPod and earphones, and my earphones are almost always wrapped loosely around my neck (and yes, I have strangled myself on multiple occasions because of this habit, but that will never stop me – until it kills me).  My tunes are just that important to me. 

Lately I have been stuck on this dance phase, mostly in private.  I am definitely not as good of a dancer as I am a singer, but I have been having a bit of fun experimenting with it.  Catching the beat, moving to it, it’s fun. Serious entertainment.  I mean, it just feels right to let loose and just move to the tone.  Ha, mi familia may think that it’s some sort of cruel sin to dance (it may even send my grandmother into a heart attack), but lately I just can’t help it.  It’s a form of expression and I like it.  So why not?

Plus, I used to be the sort of person that shied away from attention. I never liked the looks and the possibility of rejection, but now I guess I just care less. Or maybe it’s that I just feel more comfortable.  Regardless of the reason, I’m not that same little kid anymore, I like being in the center of it all.  And what better way to get some attention than from song and dance? I assume that there are very few people on this planet that honestly hate all forms of music, it just has a universal draw.  That is why people flock to clubs, spend on musical devices, have concerts, etc.  We all seem to have a connection to it.  So I’m going to let myself go to the beat and see where it takes me.

What’s practical? What’s logical?
  What the Hell? Who cares?
