My Life Through Music

Falling in love in typing class??

As the three of us were sitting in a row in the kitchen at this huge breakfast bar/counter in my old house, my mom was going on and on telling how great learning how to type would be and how it would benefit me in the future, I started to tuned her out. There was no way I was going to take typing. Then, my dad, who was on the other side of her leaned over as she was still talking said, "Gonna be a lot of girls in typing class..."

My own mutiny.

I think we all have a little "mutiny" in all of us.

The eastern sky over Cave Creek/Carefree, Arizona.

As the song came to an end and begin to fade, I looked out into the night sky through a cloudlike mass of cigarette smoke.  I then looked over to my friend sitting to my left, and before I could say, "We need to listen to that again," he reached up with his right hand, pressed rewind, found the song... and let it play.

"The child has grown..." but the dream is not gone...

The record, the videos, and the movie made me look at life in a much different way.

When someone like Prince is SO talented, and plays all other instruments at the highest of levels as he does, one talent or one particular  instrument is not going to stick out more than the rest... because he plays ALL of them GREAT!

MTV, music, all the time.

I was getting ready to climb up the stairs to meet everyone in the driveway when I heard my mom yelled down the stairway into the basement at my Aunt's house, "Come on, we're leaving." I put my hand on the handrail and stopped when this video came on the T.V. I watched it until the end then ran upstairs. When I reached the top, my mom asked asked me, "Everyone's waiting, what were you doing down there?" "Nothing," I said. "Just turning off the T.V."

Roller Skating at Shadow Mountain Skate Center.

The four of us were huddled around the video game, it was probably Donkey Kong, or Asteroids, or something, and from out of nowhere a girl's voice came resounding in from behind us, and all we heard was, "You're a JERK!" We all looked back curiously and cautiously, and to my astonishment, she was staring right at me!

The dark, the light, and the human soul.

These songs and lyrics, along with many more, were instrumental in helping me move out of conventional thinking.

Death and time.

At 11-12 years old I never really considered dying. I had done so little living up to that point and seemingly had so much of it ahead of me... I never gave it that much thought. And time? I had all I wanted... This song was the catalyst that made me consider death and time.

"The sands of time, for me, are running low..."
