It's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do,
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Just say I do.
To me, music is pure, unadulterated joy. It's the best thing about being alive. The best form of art. The best of everything in creation.
My roommate thinks I'm crazy, but there you have it. I read in my psychology textbook last night (I have final exams next week. Reading my textbooks is not something I do frequently. I feel like I should clarify this, lest I be judged) that young adults listen to between half an hour and one hour of music daily. This blows my mind. I listen to more than that just walking to and from classes. MyiPod is playing something in my ears every second that it absolutely can.
Of course it's not just listening to music. I have to be able to sing a song (perfectly) as soon as I hear it. This is why I listen to songs on repeat until the play count has put them on my top 25. At which point my roommate bans me from playing them anymore. This is where the headphones come in.
My current favorite song is Marry You by Bruno Mars (go listen to it NOW). Again, Alisha thinks I'm crazy. She claims that the lyrics suck. She actually does have a valid point - the song is about impulsively getting married, and one of the verses contains the line "If we wake up and you wanna break up, that’s cool." Which is kind of messed up, but the song is so representative of how I feel about life. It's about being brave, and impulsive, and foolish. About seizing the moment (carpe diem and all that) and not worrying about making stupid decisions. Which isn't very intelligent, but doesn't a small part of every person want to live that way?

But every decision has a repercussion on our lives and if we keep making impulsive decisions, we would end up with quite a few regrets. I say a balance is required between decisions made by the heart and decisions made by the brain.
