so..

over the years, i've been asked, "why do you keep your ipod on?" more times than i can remember.
so, finally, i'll answer.

think of your favorite movie ever.
the notebook
the matrix
transformers 1 or 2
the dark knight
boys 'n' da hood
love and basketball
whatever.

ok, now think of the climax of that movie.
the absolute pinnacle of the drama/action/story whatever.

got it?
relive it for a second.
go ahead, close your eyes.
remember that scene.

ok, now, imagine that moment without the background music.
instead replace the music with the scuffling of feet, sniffling, coughs, background chatter, etc.
yeah. how bad does that suck?

as long as i can remember, i've seen my live through a lens (hence, why i can deliver scenes via words (with additional help from my firm grasp on the english language.)). the most pivital moments of my life, which i like to think is every moment, need music.
the impact of such moments are dulled without it.
makes them memorable.

music doesn't make my world go around, rather, it slows it down.
gives me time to enjoy the scene.

and there you have it folks.
