What role music plays in my life?

For me music is a way to express how I feel. And music also helps me vent my emotions in a way that will keep me out of trouble. Like if I am angry I will listen to rap music that is more explicit. Or when I am in a good mood I will listen to rap music that is funny. Or if I am sad I will listen to slow jams. Those are some of the ways that music plays a role in my life.

Quote

Mornings are special and nights are full of surprises and that’s the way life goes on and on morning and night.

After night came another day. And after death another life. Morning seemed mysterious gifts. He inspected the dawn with fascination. -Whirligig page 33

Quote

‘‘I was the driver but hadn’t understood the journey.’’ Whirligig page 112

This means to me that if you don’t know were your going then you would know what to do in life. When I think about my journey were would I go if I didn’t know what I wanted. There too much to do and so little time, so do what you do so you can get what you can.

Music

I love a lot of music. I play the violin and the guitar and harmonica. I live my music like a story. Most of the time you will here me singing. I love to write songs they take about to days to write. One of my favorite songs that I have written is why isn’t life a fairy tail. I love to sing play write and listen to music. A lot of people judge me cause they think I show off when I am dancing. They judge me cause of the music I listen to but they don’t realize I listen to a lot of music so they cant really judge me at all. seriously I don’t care what music I listen to as long as its ok to dance too. So ya I love music it has affected my life in so many ways. Some times I wish life was a musical so ya. the only problem I have with singing and dancing is I get stage fright. And all my friends encourage that I sing and a lot of other stuff. There was only one time I got in front of a crowd I was so scared but I was so excited at the same time I was 7 at that time. I started to listen to music and write it at the age 4. I get really bored if I am not listening to music really ask my family. music helps me when im angry sad it depends on my mood really. So there is a lot of ways it has helped me it has helped me get through school and a lot of other ways.

Quote

I responded to the quote on page 40 of Whirligig. "I also believe everything happens for a reason. That the universe required this. For some reason."

I really like this quote. I believe that everything happens for a reason. For example if you do something then you are going to get something back. How would anything happen if nothing happened for a reason. Another reason I like it is because this is how I think for example if something happens then I just think everything happens for a reason. This one time I was out past my curfew going to go get drunk and before I got to my friends house the cops pulled me over and arrested me and I just thought that everything happens for me.

The Quote

THE QUOTE: YOU HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE. -WHIRLIGIG

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE BECAUSE NO ONE MAKES DECISIONS FOR YOU. CHOSE TO DO THEM YOU CAN ALWAYS SAY NO. IT’S LIKE SAYING THAT SOME ONE MADE YOU MAD BUT NO ONE MADE YOU. YOU CHOSE TO GET MAD. I WAS ONCE TOLD THAT. SO I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS THAT. LIKE I SAID NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU DO ANYTHING! YOU CHOSE TO DO IT .

The Soccer Game

The game was good I guess. I saw the lion and there were little kids out on the field kicking the soccer ball in the net and they all win KFC.
When it was half time is was all girl drama that was soooooo funny.

What role does music play in your life?

The role music plays in my life is it’s like my escape from real life. I don’t have to be where ever I am. I have no problems to worry about I can just get lost in the music. Like for example my song that I have been listening to is Angel by Amanda Perez because she is talking about how she lost her love because he chose something over her. I can relate to her in this situation because im in the same boat. I think that when some one writes music they are talking about how they look at life or how they had a situation in life and how they solved it. Music can help you through many problems if you’re mad you can listen to music that is talking bout being mad. When you’re sad listen to sad music. It’s all about how you look at it and how you react to it. So in the end music is a big part of my life and I don’t know what my life would be without it!

Suicide

“You have the absolute power over your own life. You have the power to end your life. Now.” ~Whirligig page 18.

This part of the book and this quote really bothers me. No one has the right to end any life, even their own. God makes the choice when that happens. Suicide is the coward’s way out. It goes along with the saying. “It takes more courage to live for someone than to die for someone.”

Quote

“You have absolute power over your own life”
Whirligig page 18

I really like this quote because I know it is true and if you don’t use it right then you lose it and, can’t have that choose to do what you want and than life is going to suck and not be what you want it to be.

Quote

“You have the absolute power over your own life. You have the power to end your life Now.” Pg. 18

The reason why I like this quote because it says that you have power over you life and you have the power to end it. Like the reason why I like it because it reminds me of when my uncle drinks because I think he want to end his life just like Brent in the book. But as I said it reminds me of my uncle when he drinks. And I don’t want him to do that. When he drinks he acts drunk because that’s all he does.

RSL Sucks Crap

The soccer game… I didn’t go to it because I couldn’t go to it.
I was stuck at therapy and then at practice for my sisters 15.
But from what I hear it wasn’t very fun…
Well I really couldn’t expect more from a Real Salt Lake soccer
Game. I was hoping that they would get beat but I guess the other team
Sucked crap too. But yeah RSL suck and Chivas is the best team ever.
They would kill RSL if they ever played them….

Music

Music plays a big role In my life. It expresses who I am. Depending on what im listening to can explain what mood im in. I couldn’t live without music I listen to It all day everyday when im out of school. I only listen to rap and hip hop I like the beat I can dance to it. And have fun you cant dance to country music hell na.

Favorite Quote

“You have absolute power over your own life.”
Whirligig page 18

I like it because whet I’ve been threw I’m the only one to blame. My drug addiction is what I’ve chosen to do. I think that in some cases it’s not completely true like when some ones choices effect you in a harsh way. This book has helped me realize that I need to take responsibility for my behaviors and actions.

Favorite Quote

Favorite quote from Whirligig pg.56
My family left the mountains, where we always lived.

I like it because it is saying that where he use to live and that was the place he loved and lived for most of his life, and his family had to ruined it for him and probably his family to but his family does not fill the shame as much as he does.

Role music plays in my life

Reggae music because when I’m down it brings my hopes up when I listen to reggae I free my mind and it helps me to calm down when I’m disappointed pissed or sad reggae is always there for me I like reggae to because when your about to go out with a girl you put it on and you start singing it to the girl and she likes it .

What role music plays in my life?

Music in my life is a somewhat big part because when I am not in the best mood or just down then I like to just listen to words and what they really mean I think that in everyday life music should be there for anybody at any time. I don’t know if you have heard about bob Marley and how he thought that love and music could cure raciest people 2 days before he played at a concert he was shot still he showed up at that concert and somebody asked him why he should up and he told them that the bad people aren’t taking a day off so why should he. I think that is something that everybody should think about. So this is what I think about this music though in my life like I said is a big thing. I like all different kinds of music r&b, some country some rock some blues just all different kinds my favorite is r&b so yeah that’s it so i'm out peace

Quote

"I also believe everything happens for a reason. That the universe required this. For some reason." ~Whirligig page 40

I also believe everything happens
For reason. Because I know it happens
To me all the time like when I got
Put a way that was for a good reason
For I did not do bad things to people-

Choice of a Quote

“ You can’t see the wind, but look what it can do. It’s
Invisible but powerful. Like thoughts
Whirligig page 26

I chose this cuz yes the wind is strong when it needs to be, just like thoughts when you use them in a good way you will make the right decision. No matter the wind miles per hour the stongest wind is in your mind and like any thing else there is always and bad end to every thing. There are hurricanes and typhoons they do get out of control just like thoughts do you don’t take care of your thoughts you will end up in a bad situation of even jail. So don’t let your thoughts get to out of control.

Quotie Quote

“I can also tell you that all those that die want that we should have a life with laughing. They want us to laugh all the laughs that were taken away from them” ~ Whirligig, page 84.

I must say that this is my favorite quote so far because only this one and one other have stood out to me throughout the book so far and the other one isn’t as “uplifting”. And uplifting quotes make people smile.
