My Angsty, Self-Discovery Blog

Hola potatitos. How have you managed to limp along without the music of my words for so long? For the lack of jazz in your life obviously because of my lack of posting, I apologize.
First thing first. I am reading this AMAZING book. It is called My Sister's Keeper. I have seen it probably a hundred times at the library, B&N, or in my friend's hand. I have always ignored it because the cover (in my opinion) says 'Read me! I will PMS until you want to puke and then I will tell you about man problems.' But it doesn't. It is about a girl who's sister has leukemia. She was born so that her sister could have an exact match for blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants ect. The problem is that no one has ever asked Anna (the main character)for the right to her body. She finally gets enough and contacts a lawyer for the rights to her body. It is a touching book (thus far). It also has a dark undertone because if she wins her lawsuit and quits giving her valuable body to her sister her sister will die.
What I mainly wanted to talk about is music today. I really love music. Once someone asked me if music was important to me. By the way he said it I could tell that he wasn't asking me if I like music. Everyone likes music. He was wondering if music spoke to me it did to him. I guess I hadn't really noticed it before then, how important music was to me.
(Unfortunately for most of you) I enjoy my own company more than anyone else. I like to be alone for the majority of my time. I spend most of my time wooing over Hayley Williams\writing\listening to music. There is just certain things that no other things can do to speak to my soul like music can.
Most of you know that I am in love with Hayley Williams. Y'all probably know her better by the name Paramore, the band she sings in. Yeah they are the best band ever so obviously they are one of my favorites, if not my favorite.
I have compiled a oh so helpful list for you to gaze into my soul. My kind of music needs to be thoughtful but it also has a lot of jazz? in it. Enjoy. I think my favorites are Paramore, Panic at the Disco, Fallout Boy, Switchfoot, Regina Spektor, Jason Mraz, Relient K (I know, but they aren't as shallow as they seem), Sia, Amy Whinehouse, M.I.A., to name a few. One artist that has yet to breach the gap of the tube is Kina Grannis. Listen to her originals, especially Strong Enough. I really like her music.
I didn't want this to be an informative blog but I guess that's kind of what it was. I just want to encourage everyone to find what they love. 'People like people who know what kind of music they like'. I guess I am just sick of people who like what's played on the radio. If the two circles overlap than that is ok, but if you only listen to what Z103 feeds you than you will never have much substance when it comes to music or... life.
So in closing, don't scoff at Paramore, don't laugh at Panic at the Disco, don't get high to Fallout Boy, don't think Switchfoot is just another Hinder, look through the nonsense of Regina Spektor's lyrics, no Amy Whinehouse is not just a drug addict, Jason Mraz has much more insight than surfing, Relient K is not just some boy band, Sia is not as frightening as her videos, an M.I.A is not just chick rap. ENJOY
