Music is another one of my favorite topics. Music is the fuel of life for me, without it the world is silent and the emotions within me are calmed to a stop. There are many forms of music, some loud, some quiet. Some sad, and some happy. In the end, there is no bad music, and no good music. There is just music.
Unfortunately the music community is horribly corrupted. People have turned the different genre's of music into gangs that seem to never stop fighting. The music community is so fueled with hatred that it is hard to be a person like me, a nomad to the different lands of music. I love all music.
I like heavy metal, rap, and techno. I like country, and I like jazz. I like rock and roll, and I like the various new styles that sprout up everyday. All genres of music are simply different emotional fuels for me, and there are different musics for different times. I cannot listen to one genre of music for my entire life, as one emotion would be very boring.
If you actually read this entire blog, then please respond in your comment saying what your opinion on music is. What is your favorite genre, and do you agree with my point of view?

Blog 13 - The Equation of Life
The equation of life is something that no one can fully comprehend. A human cannot beat the opponent of life, as life will always beat you. You can only enjoy the battle, and live the 80 or 90 years that you have. There is only one thing that a human can really do to search for the equation of life, and that is live the solution without finding out the equation;
Happiness.
The only true goal in life is to be happy. Why do you exercise? To be healthy, and happy. Why do you try hard in school? To be happy in your adult life. Why do you want to eat that last brownie? It will make your energetic desires happy. Everything you do, in one way or another is to make yourself happy.
This is also true for other species though, we are all just trying to be happy, and enjoy the time that we have on this planet. So what makes us human? The feeling of love, and the urge to learn. This is how I've come up with the second part of the equation: Education.
The last part of the education is proven by history. A teacher more powerful than any other being is Time. Time has shown us that good health and fitness will carry you to the top. When it really breaks down to it, health is the building block of mammals; and lets face it, we're just another species of mammal.
This is how I've produced my personal equation of life. I'm not saying that I'm right, but I've spent many hours looking for the answer to this, and this is what I've come up with so far...
Education > Health > Integrity + Moral Values = Happiness
You only have so many years on this planet, so be happy, be respectful, be smart, and be strong. Notice how the equation says nothing about others. Don't worry about others opinions, if you want to live life to your full potential, then follow the equation.

Blog 12 - Freedoms
I am going to be writing about the freedoms defined by the constitution, and given to all American citizens.
Freedoms. Something that people forgot to allow others. Something that is often mis-limited. Freedoms are not a very debatable topic, yet we hear arguments everyday over what freedoms you have and what freedoms I have. Well, read this blog and you'll find out.
First, every American citizen is bound to not only the con's of the Constitution, but also the pro's; in this case being freedoms. There are many freedoms, but I will be focusing on two: The Freedom of Speech, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Yes I understand that the Pursuit of Happiness maybe not be classified as a freedom because it is not the 'Freedom of Happiness', but for this blog's sake it is a freedom.
A freedom is not a freedom if you deny a specific minority the right to the same freedom that you expect to have. If you want to protest a new law, you have the right to under the first amendment. However, anti-gay rights groups also have the freedom of speech (and assembly), when they protest a homosexual soldiers funeral. Although many people disagree with that fact, it is indeed OK for them to do so. The issue that occurs is the difference between moral values and constitutional values. Unfortunately I think it is EXTREMELY immoral to do such a thing, however I do think that is Constitutionally OK for them to do so. If you deny them their rights, then you do not have the right of free speech either.

Blog 11 - Love
Love... A sensitive subject, albeit an interesting topic. Love is something that most adolescence are blind to, most often attracted by the visuals of one another's body, and unable to realize the true beauty which is powered by the heart of a person. Love to me is the feeling of devotion to another being, a will to live, a goal in life to strive for, and more importantly, the attraction that makes us human.
Love is feeling that I cannot help but know is a game. It's a sick game that people play as if it where Monopoly. It's a game of greed, a game that people only play to win. There is not an even playing field for this game, and you won't succeed if you weren't put out to. Ignore the inspiring quotes, and the little pieces of paper you find in fortune cookies that tell you something you're not. This is the truth. The sooner we all can accept this, the better. This all may seem a bit harsh, but the more you mature the more you'll find this to be true.
