Music

I have always loved music. Ask anyone in my family and they will tell you from a young age I wanted to be an opera singer...of course, most of my siblings weren't very supportive of that goal! Then I thought I could be a gospel singer like Sandi Pati, but my mom told me most Mormons don't get paid to sing...I guess times have changed quite a bit though if you look at church book stores! So I guess the point of this is that I am always singing and I love all kinds of music. I know I don't have the best voice and am not always on pitch but that doesn't stop my love! I love how music helps me feel the spirit, how it helps me feel alive. I could be having a bad day and hear a good song that changes my mood completely. When I am running the song that is playing can affect so much. When I hear Guns N' Roses Welcoming me to the Jungle or taking me to the Paradise City I get an adrenaline burst and can push through my running. I sometimes think if someone was to look at my MP3 player they would think my choices were not very cohesive. I go from listening to top 40 (yes, I'll admit it), alternative, soft rock, rap, hip hop, to heavy metal when I need a pick me up (thanks Matt and Jared for introducing me to this music when I was just a child)! Although I wish I was part of some cool band I still love music and the many ways it can make me feel!
