Dodging Cars and Playing Guitars

Quote of the day: “I’m an awesome sophomore in high school. I like to party. I also like to have fun.” – Dan Moyer

And so ends another day. Except for the likes of Nathan and Abe. Now their day (unless they took my advice) is just beginning. Meanwhile, if you’re bored anytime soon, I’d go walk out in the middle of the road and play a guitar. It really gives you this sense of meaning and fulfillment. Plus you’ll get some priceless looks, not to mention a couple obscence gestures and swear words at no extra cost!

Today was a pretty good day, as I only had half a day of school. Why you ask? Because somewhere right around the middle of speech class my right eye started turning red until it was watering so bad that my nose started running and I looked like I was crying and people thought my pet bird had died or something. Plus it hurt. Really bad. So I went home.

Then I did some homework, got third in a poker tourney, and wandered around aimlessly through the streets strumming away…

Here’s a thought for you: what would life be like without music? I mean, think about how important music is. First of all there’d be no worship music. And worship music is awesome. There’d also be no background music. How in the world would we be able to be in our cars so much without the radio or a CD on? Plus the waits in the doctor’s office would be unbearable. And then…no music in movies. Woah. Deep. No no no, stay with me for a moment. Now…think…imagine the scariest movie you’ve ever seen…with no music.

[The scene is an old abandoned mansion. A small boy with a scared look on his face stands in the hallway. He says very fearfully…]
“I see dead people.”

“…………………………..”

[And then…]
“…………………………..”

[OUT POPS AN EVIL DECOMPOSED DEAD PERSON IN ABSOLUTE SILENCE!!]
“…………………………..”

Yeah. Horror movies wouldn’t be able to make it without music. You know who else wouldn’t be able to make it without music? Music artists.

Yeah ok, I know that sounded shallow but think…think of having to have all those stupid singers like Britney Spears in real jobs. You’re unconscious on the floor for some reason, and the paramedics arrive, and it’s Britney. And she gets those electric shock things out, but she’s a ditz and she charges the things up way too much and electrocutes you to a horrifyingly painful death.

Yeah, I bet you want music back now dontcha!!
