Boom!

No matter where I am, what I'm doing, or what mood I'm in, one single, sparkley explosion is enough to instantly catch my attention. I honestly think fireworks shows are my favorite thing in this whole world.

I see them the most at Disneyland, where it's pretty much always the same show; the same music, the same choreographed explosions, and the same crowds. But regardless of how many times I see that show, I always feel so excited and amazed. I really don't know how to explain how I feel. Like I said, excited, but it's really so much more than that. I feel energized, hopeful, so happy that nothing could bring me down. It's weird to think that something so essentially meaningless can make me feel like that, but that's just what happens. I love seeing the colors, the way they glitter as they float down and fade away, the physical force from the sound of the explosion.

If I could, I would have my own fireworks show every weekend.

Don't diss the lame spelling of "music"....I don't want a bunch of boring one-word titles, so if it's going to be one-word, it's going to be a snazzy word.

So anyways, I, like, many many other people out there, love music. I love the sounds, feelings, words, and everything that comes with it. I love to sing along, play a classic, and if I could I'd make my own. I'm usually not one to have my headphones in all day, but when I'm riding the bus to and from school by myself for a good chunk of time, you can bet I've got the music pumping out of my phone and straight in to my head. Considering I've had my newest phone (the Droid Incredible, which I also love) for over four months now, I'm surprised it wasn't until this last weekend that I actually put any music on it. I'm very glad I finally got around to it though; I have so much music in my collection, and don't hear enough of it.

This may be more of a love for coincidence than the music itself, but I always find it amazing when you've had a song stuck in your head all day and it somehow ends up being the next randomized song you hear. Or when you're feeling particularly emotional, either happy or sad, and a song starts playing that matches exactly how you feel. There really is something amazing about how a certain combination of noises and words can create so much feeling and emotion. I'd have to say that that is my favorite part about music. I really love the way it makes me feel hopeful, or excited, or that I'm not the only one who's felt so shitty before.

Although they get ridiculously over-paid, thank goodness there are amazingly talented people out there who can take all those sounds at their disposal and make something fantastic out of it.
