Music

Does music tend to seemingly flow through you sometimes?  Like you'll just be sitting there working on your math homework or driving back home after a long day, and BAM! there's the tune out of nowhere that you just start humming to yourself, or in some cases, sing out loud.  Or maybe there's that song that you just cannot get out of your head no matter how hard you try?  Or there's also that song that you can't wait to get a chance to listen to again.

Music is awesome for many reasons.  It calms us down after a long day, sometimes matches hard times and trials and triumphs in our lives, pumps us up for sporting events, helps us through the hard times, allows us to show our love for others.  There are many more but those are the ones coming to me right now.

I have listened to many varieties of music over the years, only just this Summer getting into the Christian genre officially.  I absolutely love Country, Pop, some 80's Rock N' Roll, Techno Funk here and there.  My DJ job has opened me up to a lot of different tunes.

Here are some of the songs I've been enjoying recently...........


  1. A Great Big World's "Already Home":  A Great Big World seems to specialize in these sad slow songs, having rocked the charts with last year's "Say Something", which I still enjoy every now and then, but this one easily tops it with me.  The song is basically a guy telling a girl who lives far away that when she misses him, she should think of him being there.  It's a powerful little song to listen to. 
  2. Eric Church's "Springsteen": It's hard to believe this one is two years old already!  Just the smooth continuous rhythm and the ending part are what makes this song enjoyable for me.  It's almost like a faster-paced lullaby.
  3. Casting Crown's "Thrive": Like with most of the Christian music I've heard, I have no idea whether it's newer or from ten years ago.  That being said, this song's twangy beat is lovely, and it conveys such a simple message to believers and non-believers alike. 
  4. Phil Wickham's "Beautiful": So slow and beautiful, and again it conveys a message.
  5. American Author's "Best Day Of My Life": This is the type of song you'd hum to yourself before school each morning.  Remember that every day, no matter how grim the circumstances may seem, will be beautiful in some way shape or form.  Stay happy folks! 
  6. Imagine Dragon's "On Top Of The World": Another good vibes song with a catchy beat and a lot of clapping.  The music video for some reason connected itself to Neil Armstrong's 1969 Moon Landing and I'm not sure why but it's an interesting video.

Here's what you do in your college public speaking class.  These videos are me when I gave the speeches.  We were asked to pick a community issue, from which I chose the EBT Program and how it needs reform, and then I later collaborated with Andrew Olfelt to give a speech on education reform here in America.  I hope you enjoy the speeches :) Speech of Introduction - Given 9/9/2016 Informative Speech - Given 10/7/2016 Team Persuasive Speech - Given 11/18/2016

A Post About Snow

Image
Snow is something many of us seem to be bi-polar about, myself included.  We love it when the first snowfall of the year graces it's way through our area, but by March we're sick of it and ready for Spring.  It coats the roads, causes car accidents, and sends people to supermarkets in droves, because everyone's worried that this will be the last time they ever make it out of their house for the next few days, which never really seems to be the case thankfully. Regardless of that though, lots of us love a good snow.  Think of the things we have to be thankful for when the snow flies.  We are now able to go (if there's enough snow), sledding, skiing, have snowball fights, and build snowmen. There are tons of things to do when that first winter storm hits, and we should enjoy it while we can.  I've been regretting not being able to take part in Winter activities these past few years due to my numerous prior commitments, but maybe this will be the year

TikTok: Why.... Just Why?

Image
It's a day off and I'm sitting at home scrolling through the Snapchat stories of my friends and co-workers.  I'm just leaving one person's story and moving onto the next, but first I have to watch an advertisement, because Snapchat needs to make money somehow doesn't it? I look at the screen, and for some reason a teenaged dude is just chilling there in a white suit and clown makeup lip syncing to some song I've never heard of before.  The screen is split though, so you know someone else must be coming to join him, right?  Well low and behold not even five seconds later another teenager in a black suit with his hair groomed to resemble a sheep and blue/black skin steps in and starts lip syncing to another part of the song where a different person seems to sing.  The ad cuts out not long after that, and I'm back with my Snapchat stories. If you haven't guessed already, the ad is for smartphone app TikTok , which allows it's users to video rec
