MUSIC- SO MANY WAYS.

November 21, 2006

Music is a very powerful thing in many ways. I have always wondered what attaches us as human to the music that we here. From Rock to Hip-Hop or Country to Metal we all feel some sort of connection to the music. I have always wondered why we love it even if we don’t have a connection to it. Is it because we are followers… or is it because we are trend-setters making our own reasons why we love the music. Personally I feel a connection to hip-hop. I don’t have a reason on a personal level like I know what they are going through in a song like HATE IT OR LOVE IT. I love how the beat is so up-tempo. I can sing all the lyrics testing myself seeing if I can rap or rhythm as good as the group or solo artist I am listening to. Hip-Hop is so fast. Tha is one of the best parts of iit because it is a challenge. Remembering the beat and the speed of every word you sing and how hard it is to dance that quick; moving your feet from side to side moving your arms all in sync with the beat. It is an amazing feeling that is why I feel such a strong connection to the music. I mean it may also help that I like to and a pretty good at dancing and that I can memorize lyrics quickly and in small amounts of listening to the song. People I know that can dance would say ” can you do the Chris Brown” this shows how strong the connection is for these hip-hop dancers. Dancers I talk to if you don’t know what dance moves like the crip walk or getting “crunk” is or the “1,2 step” or what “footworkin” is are you are really lame. That just shows how connected people are to their music and their taste. Whether you get down and get crunk to hip hop or you rock out to AC/DC you got your music. It helps you to wind dow and think and hard times to. It can help you open up. Go nowlisten to music. YOUR music.


Faceless Pt.5

Mr. Wilkoff has approved this post for use as a Weekly Authentic despite its fictional violence.

She was freaking out. She called her brother to warn him. The phone rang and rang and she was sobbing very loudly. She was panicking. She thought to herself, he isn’t going to answer, he is not going to answer. How am I supposed to save him if he doesn’t answer. I won’t be able to live with myse-,”Hello?”

Erica: Hello Martin, Are you there?

Martin: Ya. Erica I haven’t talked to you in forever. It sounds like something is wrong?

Erica: Martin you need too listen to me. You need to stay alert. There is thing and it is after you.

Martin: Okay. Um you feeling alright and what is this “Thing” (he laughs).

Erica: Martin this isn’t funny. I am fine. There is this girl. She has no face and she is after you.

Martin: What thats crazy talk. Don’t be so gross on the phone baby sis. A girl with no face. What is wrong with your imagination.

Erica: I am not joking she is going to use a chainsaw to cut your head off.

Martin: What the heck are you talking about!? That is gross. Why do you have to be so nasty we haven’t talked in a really long time and that is how you want to start up talking again with all this bull and stuff? Look, you need to get to bed I gotta go bye.

Erica: Martin wait… click. She heard telephone turn off. Well that went well. She decided to get some rest and maybe she will feel better when she gets up. Erica went strolling throughout the park. She was taking a look at all the beautiful little flowers when she started to feel seething pain. She was having another vision this time of some lady in the park. She was going to walk under a large branch and it was going to fall on her and crush her. She had to save her. The vision ended and she saw the girl and …. the tree. She was under it. She ran and ran as hard as she could screaming at the girl. She seemed to get farther and farther away as she was running closer. The branch snapped she didn’t make it. She saw it collapse and… she woke up. Thank god it was all a dream. She went to grab the paper outside and on the front cover was a picture of a young woman. Familiar she was. The article head line read “Fun PARK, OR EVIL FALLING BARk”. The woman had been crushed. She had seen the past. Why was the little girl playing with Erica’s emotions. Will she save her brother.
