the rain in summer


i did the best i could/: it's not the best picture, but i have to say it's pretty spiffy(: i drew that in 7th? grade i think.

i realize recently, that music is a privilege. a gift. a liberty i fear would be very difficult to live without. music, along with all other forms of art (its a longer list than you would assume), is a way of self expression. a way to express emotion. it's the way i often express emotion. it's also a way to speak to people.

you don't always have to have lyrics though, you can use just instruments, any instrument for that matter.

there's a movie coming out, It Might Get Loud, about, 3 guitarists: The Edge(U2), Jimmy Page(Led Zeppelin) , and Jack White(The White Stripes). here's 2 links to where you can watch the trailer(:

my parents are going to an upcoming U2 concert((: so jelous, but they're like my mom's favorite band so i thought she should see them in concert! she told me that she only needed to see them in concert once(: just once and it'd be cool, so i'm excited for her!

so yess. enjoy the liberty that is music. but quality music, music with real meaning. not immature crude music, people, i mean really? we could do so much better.
