MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC

Did you know that if you type 'music' more than five times, it appears to be a very strange word? What an incredibly curious phenomenon. And now, back on the topic of said strange word. Music. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines music as:
a : The science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity.
b : Vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony.
or
c : An agreeable sound.

Well, to me music is mostly number C, namely, something that sounds good. Now people have different views of what sounds good, but most people agree universally on some things. These things are that Country music is ungodly horrible and that Elvis was awesome. I mean who else can pull of a sequin jumpsuit like he could? Yeah. That's right.

Another possible definition for music is a sonic expression of emotion. I mean, when have you ever heard a song that has absolutely no emotion in it, not including techno or mindless pop music. The purpose of music is to convey some sort of message or emotion, and so listening to that type of music when you are feeling that way helps you feel better. For instance, when I'm in an angry sort of mood I listen to Punk, Rock, etc. When I'm happy I listen to happy music, whatever that may be, and when I'm sad, well, this is the only time I don't listen to that kind of music cause I'm just not a blues kinda person. Here's a list of various bands I like to listen to whilst in various moods.

What about you, invisible internet audience? What is some of your favorite music? Why? What do you listen to when you're feeling different moods?

Twitter, Tweets and Tweetering.

First off, WHY THE CHEESE WAS TWITTER INVENTED?!

Seriously, folks. Not even a cyber stalker is going to want to hear that you're twittering on the toilet. No one. Sure I'm one to talk, because blogging is almost as bad at times, but at least I realize a problem when I see one. Also, if you absolutely MUST tell all of the interwebs about the most trivial aspects of your life, why not get a Facebook or Myspace account instead? A status on Facebook serves the same purpose as the official fansite of tweety bird, but with less stalkers. Usually. I have thought long and hard about all possible ways that Twitter could be used to better the world, and have come up flat. If anyone out there could enlighten me on some higher purpose of Twitter, I would be willing to reconsider my position. But until that day, my opinion remains that Twitter is silly, annoying and stupid.

Things to come

Hello, invisible internet audience. How is everyone on this fine virtual afternoon? Good. Well since I have nothing to do today I'd better get started. First off, this website has no point. This blog is not for your amusement, it is not for my amusement, it is simply here because I have nothing better to do. The most useful thing this blog will ever do is perhaps help me procrastinate doing my homework. However, I will rant about many different subjects during the course of however long I'm going to blog for. Here is a preview of some of the upcoming topics:

Television
-Various shows
-Too addicting? Yes.
-The decline of american television

Movies
-Worst, Best
-Cheesy 80's films galore!
-New releases

Music
-My personal preferences
-What I hate, why I hate it
-Gaga, Sir or Lady?

Aaaannndd.....

Random Crap!!!

I hope you all enjoy this totally useless blog. Thank you, and good night.
