Mucus? No, Music.

Once again took me a while to sift through my old CD collection and really find something that actually meant something to me. I couldn't talk about my music that i'm into today such as Coldplay, Wiz Khalifa, I Set My Friends on Fire, and of course the Mighty Boosh (which I was considering doing but ehhh their songs really aren't long enough to really get a decent blog going). What I stumbled upon was my old Carpenters singles album, dated 1969-1981. I remember in middle school when I'd come home from practice and I'd really need to relax and do homework or something, I would always pop this disc in and just relax, I know what you're thinking, "Man, there's no way that Trevor likes the Carpenters!" but I do. My mom got me the album when I was younger and I don't think I even opened the packaging until 8th grade. Really my favorite 2 songs on the album are definitely "Close to You" and "Top of the World." Top of the world is a really upbeat song of theirs that is really happy and very catchy. Close to You is one of their most famous songs You've all probably heard it whether you realized it or not. I'll put both song on here and let you decide

Alone

I know this blog took particularly long for me to publish but I've been thinking a couple of them over. Alone, a big concept to contemplate. Some see serenity, peace, others may see exclusion or punishment. You could really look at it either way. I love to be alone really to an extent, if I'm trying to concentrate or relax or just think then yeah being alone is the goal, but being a social creature humans crave interaction. Sometimes when one is left alone, he can create some characters in his head to be his interaction even though he's just talking to himself.. Anyway! Siddhartha and Chris both set off alone to really find themselves and in both cases reach (in their own way) a state of enlightenment, and really they needed to set off alone, without any teachers, distractions, or guidance to really get to that state. It is something that I could try for sometime, but I honestly don't think I could finish or go through with it..sadly.

This Has to Mean Something

It seems we all have that one thing that means everything to us. If we lose it, its devastating. This can be a meaningful memento, jewelry that may not have much monetary value, but sentimental value. I really don't know how exactly to explain this one because I'm pretty sure that we had a different blog that was pretty similar, but anyways, what really means a lot to me is my grandfather's ring. He has been my role model my entire life, his witty humor and kindness kept me coming back to visit, it really wasn't that hard with him living around the block but still. My father was never there for me when I was a kid, and i never connected very well with my step-dad so my grandpa was always there for me. When he gave me his old ring, it may not have meant a lot to anyone but it is my most prized possession. He is the most meaningful thing in my life, I really don't know what I would do without him.
