WORLD

Lately, I've been having this feeling of being little. No, it's not because of bullying or how little self-esteem I have (which I don't) but just being little. When I imagine myself, I don't see me. I see Earth and Space. Of course comparing me to the Earth, there is no chance of seeing me but I find that strange. I see the people around me and I don't see them like how I see myself. I see them as stars on Earth because they seem to know where they are in life and that makes them stick out. I'm 17 years old and soon I'll be moving into the world. But where do I start? Who do I need and what can I do? The idea of it is scary. You don't know what is going to happen. That's what I am afraid of. I'm sure that scares a lot of people as well. You want to find your place on this Earth but you don't know what you want yet. And you think "I'm never going succeed". You're so sure that you are not a star on Earth but the fact is you are. Your light is just very dim.
I've come the realization that I want to be seen as a star on Earth and plan to do everything I can to become one. So what's stopping you? Not tough enough? Afraid to take on the world? There is going to be obstacles, aches and pain through out your life. But rather than thinking about it and doing nothing, I plan to go through it, learn from it, and succeed from it. Fear is just a illusion, you can overcome it.

The Who?

You know. The Who! 1960s Rock & Roll Band, they have a crazy drummer, and almost every performance a guy smashes his guitar? Who? THE WHO! Come on, how do you know The Whats and Wheres but not know The Who? Last sentence was a joke, there is no band called The Whats and Wheres... what?

So enough of the introductions, it's time to prioritize the main topic here, THE WHO! The first song that I ever heard from them was My Generation. I couldn't help but to notice that the song sounded similar to Are You Going to Be My Girl By Jet the first time I heard them.

Now that I've listened to both songs, they are completely DIFFERENT. Jet is more "YEAH, ROCK ON! LET'S PARTY! BE MY GIRL!". The Who is more "Yeah! We're are pretty rock as well! I stutter to prove it as well!". Guys, My Generation is the only song they stutter. Some can't stand the stuttering which confuses me and makes me wonder if they have a problem with people with a speech disorder. What, you like Porky Pig but can't bear the sound of stuttering when it's put into music? I find the stuttering very unique and cool.

The Who are also most noticeable in this song:

                   CSI anyone?

 

TLC!

I know what you are thinking. OHH this is so old news! or who and what is TLC? TLC is a group of 3(now 2) African-American girls who made hits in the 1990s. One of their most notable hit is Waterfalls.

This song was to raise awareness of STDs, drugs, and promote a alternative and healthy life. The video is about a mother who loses her to drugs and a couple who dies from doing the nasty without any protection. The waterfalls represents that you shouldn't go for something you can't handle and you should instead "stick to the rivers and lakes that you're use to." There was a couple of TLC reference in The Other Guys. I recommend watching the movie and listening to their music.

RIP Left Eye.
