Soothes the Savage Beast


Hey crazy cats,

Here I am trying to write a paper for class ad I decided to take a break. As I sat here, I got to thinking about something that all of us do without realizing it. I work a little better when I have music going in the background. I don't know what it is, but it just works out to be that way. I was listening to some Amos Lee. He's a very good blues singer.

I love listening to music when I do things. Depending on the activity, a certain music goes with it. I love listening to easy music when I do schoolwork. It just get the creative writing juices flowing. I find it to be very useful.

I have noticed that this holds true when it comes to getting through some rough days. I know that I'm not the only pathetic hopeless romantic out there. How many times have you found yourself turning on some Air Supply, or Bette Midler, or Cristian ( it's a Latin thing). You sit there and pretty much ball your eyes out. It might sound stupid, but it has been proven to help out. However, I don't know about people who listen to John Tesh... oh well...

One thing I have noticed is that Latin music is more passionate ( except for country music. they have us beat when it comes to depressing songs). I guess because we have all been heart broken or madly in love. Latinos... well, let's just say we tend to go overboard. If you ever get a chance, just listen to Cristian Castro. The guy is about one song away from jumping in front of a train.

Before I forget, I do want to make a suggestion. Do not listen to Heavy Metal while driving. Science has proven that this causes road rage. Instead, listen to Reggaeton. This causes the listener to obey all traffic laws since they cannot hear anything over the DNA scrambling boom of the bass.
So the next time you hear your neighbor blasting his or her radio away, just remember that they may be getting over something. As long as it isn't Yanni, don't worry about it.Well, folks, I have to get back to the schoolwork. Have a great week! Keep safe and dream big!
