tell me the truth

Ya know I am not old enough to vote, so i didn't. But if I were old enough, to tell you the truth I probably wouldn't vote, because I'm not into politics and stuff. Honestly right now I could care less what happens. Now I'm not saying that won't change as I grow up. Because I'm sure it will. That's what people tell me all the time. But for right now it doesn't matter to me.

image to character

Is image just as important to who you are as a person? In my opinion...NO. Why does it matter what you look like? People shouldn't care if you had two heads!...Well maybe people would kind of wonder about that. But get my point. Who you are as a person and what your bringing to the table is what is important, or at least should be.

You would be surprised at what the world considers "ugly" has going on for them. Some of the smartest people aren't beautiful, but they have great ideas and can make it somewhere in life because of their brains.

I've never thought that beauty should come before brains, or who you are as a person. Image is the outside and really doesn't matter, of course it has to do with some things . But what's going to get you far in life, is who you are as a person in the inside, that's what matters!

Downloading music

I think that downloading music illegally is wrong, because there are people out there who are supposed to be getting paid for there music and if it's being stolen then it's unfair to them. Plus if your taking music how are you feeling good about listening to it. Like it's not yours and you stole it, so when your listening to it at least for a little while you must be thinking, man I shouldn't be listening to this right now. It feels good to get what you want the right way. And if your buying the music your listening to, that feels good and you can say that it's yours!
One thing that I don't agree with necessarily is the fact that if you get caught stealing music, they charge you a fee of up to $10,000
per song! I think that's crazy! Because a song is like, what? $2.00. I think that the fee you have to pay, if you get caught should definitely go down, but that's my opinion.
In all stealing music is wrong and if you can't afford to buy it then you shouldn't have it at all. Unless your taking CD's you already own and putting them on your music device. That's the way to go if you can't afford to get them online!

me and music!

20 years into the future:
There were many types of music i listened to while I was growing up, there was rap, r&b, country, pop, rock, and gospel. I liked to listen to everything. Mainly because I loved music! And all the different types.

They were all very different from one another. I think music changed A LOT from when my parents were kids. I think rap happened to get worst, the lyrics were more degrading then they used to be. Country changed a lot to, when my parents were younger, there was a lot of banjos and a lot of the songs sounded the same, it was still country when I was a kid but it kind of was spiced up and there was like country/rock or country/pop. Gospel changed a lot, it used to be kind of old fashion and then as time went on in my opinion it was funner to listen to an funner to worship to.

My favorite music that I liked to listen to the most was country when I was little and when I grew up and was a teenager I liked pop or hip hop a lot. I've always been the type of person to listen to all music but those were the main music I listened to. I went to church and loved gospel music as well, the kind I listened to in the youth ministry I went to was fun to worship and sing to!

What I remember the most about how the older generations felt about the music I listened to was they didn't like it!! My parents hated some of the stuff I'd listen to sometimes, like some rap or r&b. They said that it had such a bad influence on kids and teens. I didn't think it was all bad, but I do remember the time in my life where that music did have somewhat of a bad influence on me. The lyrics were all about sex, drugs, and partying really. So of course the adults weren't fans of it, most weren't at least.

Music really changes as time goes on and as you get older you can see that. I mean look back at the 40's and 50's. Music really changes all the time! It has to do with the generation of people obviously. Maybe that might be telling us something about people. You never never know. In my opinion it does have to do with the people, cause they are the ones coming up with it and singing it. I wonder what it will be like another 10 years from now.
