The Challenge: A Week Later

Bonjour Mon ami,

Okay so i’m far from an expert at french speaking but hey, I like to try.

So it’s been a week with my Challenge. For anyone who doesn’t know what i’m talking about or who was not interested in reading my previous post, here’s what i did.

The past week I decided to spend less time using my phone, watching tv, and spending countless hours in front of my computer. Your probably thinking, this girl is crazy. Sure maybe I am , but have you realized you too could probably be obsessed with checking your phone, or spending countless hours in front of your computer and making sure you don’t miss that television show you’ve been wanting to catch, as well and missing out on other important things in life? . Ladies and gents, the first sign of this is DENIEL.

The past week I devoted myself to only 1 hour each day, of using those 3 items. Well my end result was this ; I used my computer once, my cellphone I used for only an hour each day, and television I used an hour each day (with the exception of Tuesday night, when i had to babysit and had nothing to do but watch TV, so i spent it watching the Dark Knight). I took up reading 2 books in my spare time, did alot of life thinking and came up with some story writing material of my own.

End result; I had a day spent with my uncle and his kids. Family is important no matter what. And you know what, I realized there’s so much i learned by spending time with them. I also joined the gym, and it’s been kicking my ass but its also time worth wasting. I accomplished chores, inside the house and outside =successful feeling. I realized I don’t have to watch tv or go on the Internet to learn things when I can just go outside and discover things, or learned new tasks by hand. I learned that spending time with someone in person is so much better then by using my phone to talk to them.

Seriously, there’s a whole other world out there. I recommend you turn off your phones, TV, and computers and go enjoy it.

Cheers!

Music For The World…

“Music saved my life”

“It got me through the tough times in my life”

“It gives me the feeling of happiness”

“music gets me, it’s something i can relate to”

“music is my life”

“when that first sound of an instrument is heard, the first lyric is heard..suddenly it hits you, it hits the core of what your feeling at that moment. And suddenly,whatever was bothering you before, is gone.. & suddenly, everything is okay, your…okay”

Hello music lovers of the world,

Those quotes you see above, are just some of how i see music. How it makes me feel, why I love it so much. Music is like our therapy, agree?

We have that song that will get us through our toughest of times, it lets us cry our pain away, it’s the happy feeling inside of you that makes you want to dance. Its our therapy, it gets us.

I was just thinking about music today, and how much I listen to it, for most of us, we could say it’s not healthy how much we listen to it. ha-ha In truth, it’s the best medicine.

Then I thought, what triggered my obsession to it. Was it the lyrics that I could relate to, the story behind the lyrics? was it the guitars, beats, the rhythm, the sounds? was it the voices of the artist that made me want to belt out the tune just like they could. (not referring to Steven Tyler, i’ll leave the screaming to the king)

Music is a powerful thing. Music has this indescribable meaning, feeling. We live in a world that is constantly delivering new material of music to us. Without music, our world would be quiet.

Music saves us, music is a gift to us, Music is for the world. 

Much love,

Cheers.
