Obsession

Yeah, you could say I'm obsessed with dance. It really changed my life. I've been dancing since I was 2, so it's had time to make an impact. It didn't just improve my dancing abilities or technique, but it changed me in other ways as well. One way it definitely changed me was through music. I, unlike many people I know, get so excited over music. There are certain accents in songs that I draw attention to that none of my friends/family notice. I love instrumental progression and instrumental or vocal crescendos. Sometimes I assume it's because I enjoy singing and playing guitar. I can't take credit though, I'm not very good at guitar-- thanks tiny hands. My music collection is outrageous; I listen to LITERALLY everything, besides all foreign languages because that would get tough. I do have some French and Spanish though. I was re-doing my facebook interests section today since many things have changed, and it was very hard choosing just a few musicians. I think it's so interesting what kind of impact songs have on people, too. My dance studio is participating in a Down's Syndrome Awareness program, because a young girl at the studio has Down's Syndrome. Our newest routine is to "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson. Anyone who listens to that knows the meaning behing the words. As I was dancing, I looked at the young girl, sitting next to the sound system. She was staring straight ahead and tapping her finger. At that moment, I wished so badly I knew what she was thinking. Could she understand what the words' real meaning was? Does music affect children with disablities like it affects other children? Does music affect children in general like it affects me? Does music affect me like it affects everyone else? Which puts this Blog into a complete cycle. I hope this all made sense. It did to me, anyway. Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Since you care and stuff. Mmmksaywhat?
