Music Monday
Happy Music Monday, everyone!
For some reason, everytime I hear this song, I think it should have been included on the soundtrack for The Hunger Games. Instead, it was written as a sort of tribute to Gabby Douglas after the Olympics and a song for Alicia Keys' daughter. Please enjoy "Girl on Fire"

Death is all around
Good morning, fellow bloggers! It is with a heavy heart that I type this post, as the past few weeks have surrounded me with death.
First, a couple of my friends from college lost their 2 yr old son. He had been dealing with some kind of sinus thing....not sure exactly what it was, then one day he was gone. She's still taking it pretty hard, from what I hear, she hasn't cracked a smile since it happened, which is pretty bad for someone that is almost always smiling.
Second, my friend, teacher, and mentor passed away the next day. Now, he had collapsed on stage back in October from a brain tumor, but seemed to have been recovering, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I cannot stress how that I would not be the musician I am today without his tutelage.
Third, my high school put up a memorial page for all that have passed over the years. Nothing really wrong with that, until I looked through and realized how many people I know that have passed on, most from stupid reasons like drunk driving!
Finally, and this is the one that hit me the hardest, one of my best friends and fraternity/sorority sisters from college passed away yesterday morning of a sudden heart attack. Making this even harder is the fact that I talked to her (through e-mail) a few hours before her death. She had said that she had been suffering from food poisoning from the past couple of weeks, but I wonder if she was trying to not tell me something more was wrong. I even joked about coming up to take care of her if she didn't get better. Little did I know....
*SIGH*
Needless to say, I'm not in my usual happy-go-lucky mood right now. This time of year is always hard for me, as 10 years ago, I lost my grandfather.
On a positive note, though, it is now spring break! Not having to drag myself out of bed every morning is sure to help!
Thanks for reading, everyone! I promise my next post won't be so dark and morose.

Music Monday
Happy Music Monday, everyone!
This week, how about we dig out some disco and big band, eh? First up is Anita Ward's signature tune, "Ring My Bell" Next is a tune that appeared in the classic film Bathing Beauty, which only increased its popularity. Please enjoy Harry James' "Trumpet Blues" (nothing bluesy sounding about this, though)

First up is a hit from Stevie Wonder. Please enjoy "I Wish"
Next up, how about some modern rock? Please enjoy "Uprising" by Muse

Road beef
What is it with driver's today that think they're entitled to everything? I have a couple of real beefs to grip out this evening!
First, on the interstate, traffic was a wee bit backed up, and what do some people decide to do? Some we doing their best to weave in and out (not getting where they're going any faster and nearly causing accidents along the way), and others thought where they were going is so important that they can drive on the shoulder and in the parts where no one is to supposed to be driving, only to force their way over at the last minute. WTF?!?
My other beef is one that I've mentioned in a previous blog post. People who wait for you to put away your groceries just so that can get a parking spot. I'm already not a fan of anyone that does this, but today I my disdain for these people had been magnified. As this lady was sitting in her car, it looked like she was balancing her checkbook, this couple who was waiting for the spot started honking like a madman! WTF?!?
I try to be keep a civil tongue about such things, but there comes a point when enough is enough! Next person who tries to get ahead in line on the interstate won't be getting ahead of me, regardless of the danger to them or me! It will serve them right!
As far as the yuppie scum who think they can rush someone out of the spot. Let them do that to me and I'll get out of the car and go right back in the store!
UGH! Excuse me while I let out a primal scream of frustration!
Thanks for reading!
