Well hello there. It's currently 12:14 at night where i am, and because of horrible jet lag i'm not even the slightest bit tired. It's quite annoying. Anyway, today i was thinking about something wonderful. Something deep, meaningful, and exciting. Not really. Today i was thinking about music. Now of course music can be all those things, but i wasn't think of music in any deep special way. I was just enjoying listening to it. In America i recorded more than 5 hours of radio, because as i've said several times before, listening to cool radio is one of the things i miss most about America. Even more than Reeses and Root Beer actually. When i'm in Maine i love listening to WCYY 24/7, it makes me happy. And because i can record radio with my MP3 player i have gotten myself a rather nice collection of new music. Well, new to me. Mostly. And i've really enjoyed listening to it(Am i getting redundant?). But i've been thinking lately about how wonderful and useful music is. And how much i actually use it for more than just listening too. Here are some of music's many wonderful uses that i have used. I have used music to make a point countless times, more often than not this was a point only i could see, but a point nevertheless. If you've been reading my blog long enough to remember times when i've been depressed then you know that i've often posted songs. I've been doing since i started my blog. Anyway, that's one great use for music.
Another thing music is good for that i use it for everyday is psyching yourself up for something. Like just a minute ago i had to use my disgusting prescription mouthwash junk that tastes like...well, nasty stuff. And what did i do? I put on my headphones, got myself ready...and did it. Without music i could still do it. But not with the same feeling of heroic suffering. Without music it would just be...SUFFERING!!! Anyway, i think i had another use for music that i, uh, forgot. Oh wait! I think i got it...it's uh...well, i'm not sure how to word this, but like, changing your emotions. When i'm feeling really junky, and then put on Wierd Al, well, i probaly still feel junky. But at least i was able to squeeze out a laugh. So yeah, i love music. And music has many uses. It used to be a well kept secret that i like singing, but now that i sing (or grunt and groan) with the praise band it's not really a secret anymore. So someday i'll find a beautiful girl and we'll do a bunch of duets, Peter, Bjorn and John's "Young Folks", Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life" and other such great songs. Ahh, the number of times i've said someday. I guess i should listen to some music to make me feel better. Anyway, i've just been struck with a lightning bolt of inspiration that is only very loosely connected to this post. And now, a message from my sponser...and savior...
Life without music...
Empty.......
Life without God....
Non-Existent....
Anyway, must be off now. I'm sleeping on the couch tonight so....bla. Cya next time i get hit with a lightning bolt of blogging inspiration!

Don't forget about your planned duet with Peter at next year's Hollywood Night!!! :-)
hey..nice post. Music is everything you allow it to be. From worship to art, it's literally boundless.
Oh, and I live in maine by the way.
And I have sad news about cyy (for me). They closed down the auburn/lewiston frequency so I basically can't listen to the radio anymore w/o them. Its a tradgedy.
