Music

Haha remember five months ago when I said I was going to blog again.. well, I guess that didn't happen.  Turns out marrying the love of your life can keep you kind of busy.

I've been working this summer and taking a Humanities class.  Humanities 202.  The Renaissance to now.  Turns out this is the best time I could ever take it because I love my teacher, love my class, love our assignments, I just love it.  Or I did.  I loved it until we got to all this "modern" stuff.  Each week we have a listening list.  It's usually about two hours long and it's usually bearable.  I could listen to the likes of Mozart and Beethoven while spending hours on pinterest and call it studying.  It was great.  Now our listening lists our called things like "Experimental Music".  Experimental?  Whaaaatttt????  Okay.  I guess I can experiment with that.  It's been one hour.  I'm half way through the list.  Can this experiment please be over?  If you want to experiment with me, give John Cage a try by clicking here.  Maybe it'll be educational.  Maybe not.

But this blog isn't for ranting, and I by no means want to complain, I'm glad I've had my eyes opened to the full scope of music and can't wait to return to the likes of my modern music.  You know, country and Beyoncé, and everything wonderful in between.  So I'll end my post with at least a sentence (or two) of gratitude.

Today, I am grateful for music.  I'm grateful for where the world has been, so we can make new creations today and continue to progress to even bigger and better things in the future.  Hopefully, there will be more beauty that will be music to my ears in the years to come.
