Music. It's a form of art like painting or sculpture, except it is auditory instead of visual. Music plays a big part of my day-to-day life. I am almost always listening to something. Often, whatever music I am listening to is a reflection of how I feel. If I am thinking about my girl, I'll listen to love songs. If I am about to work out, I'll listen to rap to pump me up. If I am sad, I will listen to old Blues music...and so on and so forth. When I am homesick, or just thinking about my family, here some of the songs I like to listen to.
