Music

I am so addicted to music it's pathetic. Even my mom will give me scornful looks and comments when i ask for an mp3 player for birthday, she says " you want another one of THOSE," and im like well yeah cause i have broken/lost all of my others ones...

i can never live one day in my life without listening to music! i wake in the morning and as i get ready i turn on my cd player, i walk to class listening to my mp3 player, i bring headphones so i can listen to music in classes where i have computers in them, i listen to pandora quite frequently, i listen to music while doing homework, reading, or just when i'm bored, some of the only things people know about me is that i always have earphones in my ears, i have owned 4 musical devices at one time, i break earphones about once every month, and i think actually i'm feeling the effects of all this listening to music i think i'm losing my hearing, since at the moment i am depraved of a mp3 player i am realizing how helpless my life is without music.

mowing the lawn used to be a bearable task due to the constant presence of music in my ears, but with my mp3 players broken/ stolen(grrr) i have to put up with a walkman. That's right, when you tip a walkman to the side or just move it around what does it do? it doesn't work and skips, so how would you suggest i would listen to music while constantly moving mowing the lawn? very carefully, my own desperation for music allows me to conquer this seemingly impossible task of listening to a walkman while moving and while it's tipped on its side. tasks that may seem unconquerable to the average unmusiclistening american, i make possible.

so while we are discussing my amazing skills of using a walkman as a source of music while i mow the lawn, shall we discuss the amazing properties of music?

it makes any impossible task possible,

i makes awkward silences no longer awkward!(this is an important one)

it can be a bonding times between fellow comrades

musical taste can actually make you friends,/ strengthen a relationships ( when you give me a burned cd, you have moved from the acquantence zone to being my best friend)

it can help you exercise! seriously some of the hardest runs of my life were when i was running without music.

life is just better with music! seriously trust me, and if you don't like music you suck rocks!
