back to the roots

I've got a story, I guess. It's not really a story, but anyway...Music is basically one of the most important things in my life. I wake up to, go to bed to, and spend every possible minute in between with my headphones in or music going. The two year "haitus" while I was on my mission was rough stuff because I couldn't listen to a lot of the music I love. Thankfully my mission was pretty lax on the whole deal so I got away with a lot more than I probably should have. And of course I filled the gap in with talk. I love sharing bands and I met a ton of guys who did too. We would talk about bands anytime that we could and they shared a lot of amazing artists with me. After my audial fast I have to admit I got a little carried away with the whole musical deal. I just picked up band after band after band. It was great. I have to admit I got a little carried away. If I had a chance to get a new band I'd jump on it. It started out alright, a little screaming here and there, maybe some growl with a little of "A Day to Remember" but i slowly drifted farther and farther into the scary realm. Before I knew it, I was being poisoned by "Snow White's Poison Bite." It not's that i listened to it much, but the just fact that it was there was a pretty good wakeup call that I was out of control. I didn't know what to do so that I could get back on track. Then a miracle came. I was sitting around tonight, not sure what to do, and I remembered that I have netflix instant watch. "I'll watch some good old, commerical free TV. Maybe some 30Rock or the Office." As I signed on I thought I'd go and check out some of the movies that i can actually watch. That's when I saw that the movie "Across the Universe" is on the list. I've watched it before, however it's a favorite of a girl that's extremely important to me, so I decided to watch it. And what a change it's been. Back when I was in high school I didn't really listen to anything but the Beatles, but since being home I haven't really given them much time. Of course I always add them to my ipod, and they for sure get some air time everyday. After the movie though, I realized why I bought all the books and learned everything I possibly could about them. Their music is absolutely amazing. A lot of people don't like the movie, but I enjoy it a lot. it's amazing, and they did a really goo job with the covers. I don't know why I'm writing this, cause I'm sure no one really cared, but I'm for sure going to be breaking out my Beatles again
