Music

Now this topic is huge. Music is one of the most important things in life. It's practically a necessity now, it defines us and controls our emotions day to day. No matter what we listen to our personality will mold to that songs emotion almost at the instant of hearing it. Music changes the world and if I could sing I would choose to change the world through music but since I can't, I'll stick with getting people to read what I write and what I say whenever I get the chance. Even the few people who hate to listen to music they still hear it everyday. If you were to here a sad song you would most likely get depressed or think of something sad. If you were to listen to a cruel and hateful song you would probably become mad about something and so on. . . For us as humans to have come as far as we have in such a short time, will always amaze me. As for music, how it started as some caveman banging repeatedly on a rock to pianos and violins and now to guitars, microphones and voices, drums and other electronic instruments, I can't believe we have changed music so much. Now as for me when I hear music I choose the ones I like by the lyrics and not usually by the beat or whatever else. I would prefer though if you thought of me as just another one of you, a normal person with a normal life, because that's all I am. I am just a regular person at home trying to get the people of the world to listen. Not just to what I say but what I think and listen as carefully as you can to the precise words I use. In the end you'll realize what I've said so far is extremely important and by then I hope it won't be too late. I hope my words inspire and change each and everyone of you. I realize most of you won't bother reading this to this point but those of you that do, will know what I have to say and what I want to say are two different things. I want to say the world will be a beautiful place soon but the cold hard truth of it all is that the world is and always will be a difficult place that we all have to make hundreds of seemingly impossible choices. For there to be good in the world there must be evil or life itself may cease to exist. It would be easiest if the evil existed in a vegetative state and couldn't hurt anybody or anything, then the world would be perfect. We can all only wish for such things. Sorry I trailed of the topic, anyways just remember when life gets you down listen to a happy song and maybe your life will change.

Anger

Anger is an unwanted, unneeded, and all around ridiculous emotion that everybody falls back on. We only fall back on anger because it's a lot like cruise control, it takes over our bodies' reactions and speech systems simultaneously. We don't have to do anything at all, we just let our anger get the best of us. Most people think anger is an emotion that signifies that you are a bad person, but don't listen to those idiots because they get angry too. I bet the people who do think that are mad now that I called them idiots. Anyways if we can control anger we can control every single part of our bodies even in the most ridiculous and annoyed moods. Now anger causes people to do many things, most of those people regret what anger caused them to do. I bet if you could do over a situation without any anger existing within you that that very same situation would have gone a little bit different or a lot different, depending on the situation, of course. I just so happened to have finished watching a movie that had a lot to do about anger. It was called "Teen Wolf", it is a tad older than most movies but it's still a great movie all the same. The kid Howard has to control his ability to change into a werewolf, so far excitement and anger both change him but anger takes control over what he does. I've experienced a dream about that once, I had the ability to change into a werewolf by choice but it also happened whenever I was scared and especially took control when I got angry. In my dream I was running away from a crowd of extremely scary creatures, I started out on foot but as I went further and further I felt as though I were running through quicksand and every step I took slowed me down more and more. The very second both my hands touched the ground I experienced speed, on all four legs, like never before. I got away from them but later on they caught up to me and I got so scared that I became angry of the fact that I was scared of something so stupid and weak compared to myself. So as soon as my blood began pumping faster, the anger ripped through my body like claws trying to get out. I quickly changed into a werewolf and began killing these creatures and I couldn't stop myself. My anger was like cocaine to the werewolf part of me, it not only fueled me, it also made me extremely energetic and merciless. I became afraid of myself from that point on, knowing that my anger can force me to do things I'll regret as well as make many mistakes. From then on I've tried several ways to stay cool-headed. One way I use a lot is to just stop whatever was making me angry even if it was just for a moment and process what exactly is making me angry, I realized just how naive and redundant I looked being mad over something so simple and silly. While I'm doing something and it isn't going the way I want I usually get angry but lately I've stopped myself from doing things like punching holes in the wall or even breaking items that I might have needed later. Of course since I'm human though I haven't been able to control all of what I say. That part doesn't really bother me that much because words are just words when used in anger but when they come from the heart they means so much more. If I were to get angry right now and be so livid that I would want to destroy something just to satisfy it, I would stop and think about all the things I could destroy to be honest but that usually gets me on the tough topic of how to fix it once I break it and that turns into "If I can't fix it, how much would it cost to replace it?" Then as what usually happens from there is I think about how much I've saved up so far then what I could buy with all the saved up money. I think way, way outside the box, most of the time.

I've written too much as is so I'll leave my beloved readers with this new question: "If the world were at the brink of extinction because of war, how would you try to change the world before human civilization ended?"

Knowledge

In case you're all wondering, "Knowledge" is the ultimate weapon, but it doesn't have to be used as a weapon, in fact it's been used since the beginning of Life. Knowledge is power but since that's true, everyone has a little bit of power in them. Most use that power to help the people they love while others use it to try and be better than everyone, which is impossible. It's impossible because we all originate from the same source and we all bleed the same color. Anyways, back on topic, with knowledge comes responsibility, a word we all know and some of us hate. We all must use our knowledge to pass it down to the next generation, because if we don't, all the things we learned, that are important, won't matter to the next generation. I know that I want everyone younger than me to know that being respectful, responsible and caring will get them where they want to go. Maybe not to France or Italy but to the right job and hopefully the right choices in life. For now I will remain a mystery to you readers, as the Man of Knowledge. No, it isn't my huge ego that creates this name, it is you readers that realize everything I say means more than just words. So I leave this post with this: "If you don't wake up tomorrow, if it turns out that today is your last day on Earth. Would you be proud of what you've done in this life? Cause if you ain't, you better start gettin' square." My favorite quote from the movie Legion.
