For the past few months, I realized something. Now, for some of you that know me well, happen to like music a lot. Ever since as far as I can remember, say, first hearing The Beatles when I was about four years old, I seem to have been hooked on with music. I taught myself how to play guitar when I was in high school, and along with that the bass guitar and little bit of keyboard work. My music taste ranged from classic rock through grade school and junior high, heavy metal in junior high through the end of high school, and alternative rock all through high school and into today. I began to like jazz in college, and old rhythm and blues therefore. However, for the last year or two, I began to see myself liking metal again. I don’t know if this is a bad thing or good, but I felt something happened. I saw my music taste go into like how a Pink Floyd record goes, in full circle. If you ever listened to a Pink Floyd record, you’ll notice the beginning music and the ending music is the same, as though they just went full circle in what they were talking about. That’s what seemed to happen with my music tastes, I pretty much got a handle of all the music I enjoy. My boundaries have been set, even though I will always explore and be open minded to new kinds of music, but it almost feel as though I went as far as I can go with music. I don’t know, perhaps it is old age, or not really looking anymore as much as I used to. I know my schedule is quite busy now than it ever is, after getting this insurance job and all, but I should try to keep myself in touch with, well, myself. I do want to keep moving forward with what I want to accomplish, but I don’t want to lose myself in the process. I still have to be me, even after becoming a rich man, and when I get older, perhaps be called a far out old man, as oppose to being a creepy old guy. Ha, I don’t know, I cannot predicted the future and I cannot change the past, I just have to keep moving on and be control of my own destiny. However, I do not being called a music snob, which I do know some people that may think I am and I do admit that I can be particularly picky with my music. I’m sorry, but I like a certain kind of creativeness in music, but something that a person took from someone else to make their song. I think that’s unoriginal, but unfortunately, that seems to be the case in pop music, or the overproduction of new music now. From what it sounds like, it might as well have been made my robots!
