 NOTE: I'm taking part in a blogging competition, so don't be too surprised at the unusual nature of this post... Being the last-minute chiongster that i am, im rushing out this post just b4 the competition deadline tmr morning. Luckily i remembered the date in time though... D: As much as i am under pressure from deadlines like this - especially since i have a natural defect in prioritisation (as the adults call it) and gaming tends to come out tops - i don't actually feel as much of the heat from work. And its all thanks to music. Right now im listening to Cyber Lover by Turbo on Winamp, just another random song on my "favorites" playlist. Somehow, music helps to relax my mind, yet makes me concentrate better at the same time. So i don't understand why adults hate music, with all that complaints about us teens blasting music in MRTs and public places etc. Unless of course you're sleeping and the guy next to you decided to switch his iPod to full volume, you should actually appreciate the free music lor. Talking about the iPod: have you ever wondered why those figures shown in the ads are like, completely black in colour? No, not that Apple is racist, lol. My guess is that black is a neutral colour, so those figures represent everyone in the world, saying that everyone should own an iPod. Yeah, even your pet dog.  It's hard to imagine how far music has come along. From sticks and stones to some bloody animal hide strecthed over some hollowed-out wood (The Flintstones xD) to reeds, flutes, cymbals, bands and what-have-you. Music has definitely shaped the human race, sharpened our aesthetic appreciation, let us enjoy music and the arts. It connects people - not just via earphones, but also by bringing about common interests and habits, allowing people to identify with each other. We even have (primary) schools extolling the benefits of music education. Although the only thing i can play is "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on the recorder. =P But still, like my friends, i indulge in music and subscribe to pop culture (not to mention the mrbrown show too.) I daresay we won't be able to live without music. For example, just take a look at some of the games, a major portion of our teenage lives today. We have games solely based on music: Audition and Dance Dance Revolution, just to name a couple. I've played both games before and i must say they're quite good - go try them and feel the rhythm pulsing through your body. =D  Sadly, all ive got for "music on the go" is a Nokia 7610 - i don't own an iPod, or any of those copycat "X-Free" MP3 players from China for that matter. I feel i deserve - nay, i need - better music quality for the soul. So let me win this competition, and inject some music into a fellow youth's otherwise dull life. ;) Comments? Suggestions?
