"Hello world!"

so, this is the first time i have done anything like a blog, and i'm hoping it'll at least somewhat double as a journal for when i have the time to write.  also, i really wonder how many people will actually read what i'm writing.  so maybe i'll just write to myself.  

music has such a huge influence on my life!  i don't know if that's a good thing or not... well, i think it's good.  there are so many times when i'm feeling down, or stressed, or lonely, and i can just jam out to a good tune and feel better.  there are so many songs that when i listen to them i remember an earlier time of my life.  when you attach a memory to a song, every time you listen to it, the song has a certain "feel" to it, especially if you listened to that certain song a lot.  sometimes, music can speak so much stronger to your soul than any word could.  any and every emotion can be expressed through music, and quite possibly without lyrics.  i just wish i was good at making music and expressing my feelings through it!  just as a side note, and i don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but i have often times felt the comforting whisper of the holy ghost while listening to mae or the rocket summer or bands like that!  whenever they say something that i need to hear, the holy ghost helps me listen and comforts me to tell me that everything will be alright.  any music that can do that is really good music.  

well, if you read this, feel free to comment or whatever.  if you don't read this, feel free to do a little jig and pick your nose.
