MUSIC

When I'm listening to music, with my headphones on, it shuts out the rest of the world, and takes me to another place. Like I really am talking to God on 1st and Amistad, or watching the lights go down in the city. Music is as much a part of my soul as my heart is a part of my body. It courses through my veins like blood and fuels and rejuvenates my body, like food and water. I would not be myself without it. I simply would not exist, because music has shaped my personality so much, and the personality of my parents, that it is impossible that us WITH music and us WITHOUT music would even have similar personality traits. If i said that i only loved music, i would be flat out lying to you. You do not love the air. You need it to survive. You couldn't imagine life without it, because without it, life wouldn't exist. This is how i feel about music.

&quot;Let X equal the quantity of all quantities of X. Let X equal the cold. It is cold in December. The months of cold equal November through February. There are four months of cold, and four of heat, leaving four months of indeterminate temperature. In February it snows. In March the Lake is a lake of ice. In September the students come back and the bookstores are full. Let X equal the month of full bookstores. The number of books approaches infinity as the number of months of cold approaches four. I will never be as cold now as I will in the future. The future of cold is infinite. The future of heat is the future of cold. The bookstores are infinite and so are never full except in September...&rdquo; -Proof, David Auburn

I LOVE IT

You sound very passionate about it; I feel the same way. Music is more powerful and more wonderful than many of us realize. I am so thankful that we have it in our lives.
