Music

Music:

Music is a powerful element of human life and culture. Throughout the ages we have generated great meaning and symbolism through music. In happieness and sadness, I relate to 'The Cat Empire' in terms of their meaningful wording of their songs.


Their view on life emminates through their instraments and vocal sounds. This band for me will always be a strong favorite for that.



Creativity comes to mind when I think about music. It is amazing, Missy Higgins music to me is very powerful music in symbolism. Althought I do not like the tone of all of her songs there are a selection that I believe are very powerful! [Where I Stood - On A Clear Night]


I think people should start to listen to the actual symbolism of music. People listen to music that symbolises death, betrayal and many other things that sure I understand that they may be able to relate to but is this really what you represent as a person.




Everyone has an individual musical personality which is defined by what they listen to or what they sing.
I related to Linkin Park like many of my peers throughout my teen years. Alternative music, Linkin Park released many great songs. Their music has gone down a different path, i believe the best music they released was their origional self-title.
These are just a small selection of music I listen to. I am moving more into rap. I'll blog on that later. [Edit this one and add more!]

Individualism

Individuals:
Individuals are inspirational to me, they are among thousands of people who will stand up for things that they believe in. Or they will stand up and let their voice be heard against what they believe is not right in human moral obligations.

This was actually sparked by someone's MSN name who came online whilst I was appearing offline, in their name they had a website link to http://www.victorianbrumbyassociation.org/HelpNow.html

This also reminds me of when a friend was being 'bagged out' by a majority of my friends in that group. I stood up against them and said hey this is not fair or right to them individually, then I discussed with the person whom was being 'bagged out' to stand up for himself. Which he does now and is a strong individual which is inspiring.

Computers:
Computers are a piece of equipment enabling humans to perform tasks. These tasks can be for logic or for fun. Computers to me are both, i enjoy playing games as well as learning from games. A better example is I enjoy discussing logical thing with communities of people as well as being logic and learning from others opinions and conversations.

People criticizm me allot in terms of computers. I grew up with them and I understand there is a life outside of them along with the aspects of they are a 'tool' we invented. In cadets my friends said "how will you live for a week without a computers" my answer was the same as today, that is they are a 'tool'.

I believe having this view I can connect the two together very easily and this is where my imagination kicks in, i can see where certain technologies involving computers can improve a certain aspect of life. This is why I said to some people 'someday I will contribute to our evolution with technology even if it is the tiniest aspect'. Meaning I will try and use my knowledge to help the world.
