music

I'm pseudo sorry for not posting in 4+ months... but i did warn that i'm not a blogger with that said, here is something new i have written. i hope you like.

I’ve always had a problem with amount of people who listen to music during daily activities. When I see people out in the world, it’s always a chore to check to see if I have to yell at them to get their attention because their music is on. Here’s my real problem with it: it’s such a cop out. People get bored while running so they put on some headphones to make it less boring. But that makes those people spoiled. What did people do in the past? Did they not run because they didn’t have music to listen to while they did it? No! They did something most people don’t stop to do anymore. They let their mind wander and did some thinking. The I-pod has ruined daydreams. It’s bad enough that TV has replaced most activities, but now even when we exercise or do work outdoors, we need to have something keeping our brains occupied. What happened to letting your mind wander? I’ve had some of my most interesting introspective thoughts while doing yard work. The reason I was able to have these thoughts was because I didn’t have the latest Kanye West Blaring through my ears. People- use your brains. Don’t deceive them with music or TV. Your thoughts are what make life interesting.
