Another direction

So I've been feeling very empty lately. It's really been more about "future plans" than anything else, to be quite honest. I created issues that really should never have been issues to begin with. It's sad (and pathetic) how people (and certainly I have been) try to grasp for things when they are feeling down. Lately I've felt like a fish in far too shallow water. I was drowning, and instead of acting responsible and doing something about it, I grasped for those things that had made me happy in the past (including her).

I am learning though, and for the first time in a long time, I think I'm "growing". I am still quite empty right now, but instead I have made this emptiness "work for me". I have started to learn to cook Indian food. I've also started doing Yoga daily. I've begun to pray every day. I've also decided that by the end of the Summer, I will have made a decision whether I am going back to law school (next year), whether I will continue in the business world (not bloody likely, unless my dream job falls into my lap) or whether another direction is needed.

That being said, I would like to go in a different direction now as far as the blog is concerned. I'd like to get away from the morbid poetry that I have been posting onto some stuff I find more FUN!

As anyone who knows me knows, I LOVE music. I'm a music fanatic, and the thing I love doing most with music is to memorize it, and analyze it. Perhaps it's cause I was never challenged in school, that I like to "test" myself by analyzing writing...which includes music.

I plan on analyzing a couple of songs. I'm a bit worried, cause I don't know the copyright laws that go with blogging, but I will make sure to site the musician (as far as I know), so as to give proper credit.

The first song I'd like to analyze is what I consider my ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONG that is sung in English. My favorite song of all time is O Saathi Re (yes, I am a true romantic, and cheese-ball at that!), and my all time favorite English-language song sung by a HUMAN is George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" (as far as I'm concerned, George Harrison is an honorary Indian...he has earned the right to be called Indian). That being said, my all time favorite English-language song is NOT sung by a Human (well actually it is, but I'd like to believe it's not!), but is sung by Kermit the Frog! It is called "Rainbow Connection".

I will continue with a few other songs afterwards, and than when I get bored of this exercise, I will move onto something else...we shall see where the wind takes me. :)
