Music and Insanity

One of my friends imposed an interesting question about music. Just gathering our thoughts on and and such, but part of it really made me think. Why is it that these singers like Justin Beiber get so much attention from these girls. I find it odd how intensely they defend these people and I'm fairly sure it's borderline obsession if not full on obsession. I don't have much knowledge in psychology, but this certainly makes me wish I did. Was my generation just as obsessed with the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and Britney Spears? I don't remember it being that way, but since I was apart of that culture maybe I just didn't notice.

If it wasn't like that with my generation, then why is it like that now? People did the same thing back when the Beatles were around. Is there a similarity between then and now that make people go insane over these artist? I don't think I'd put people like Justin Beiber (or Edward Cullen, for that matter) up there with people like the Beatles or Elvis, but that seems to be how things are going. The phase will probably die out, but what made it appear in the first place?

My second topic is on that of my own insanity.
I finally came up with something to write and, very different from my norm, it's a very morbid depressing something. It's the kind of macabre story one writes while listening to sweet music. The main girl's going on a murdering spree and in my mind "Somewhere Out There" plays in the background. It's frightening, but it oddly fits the scene for numerous reason.

I currently have a thousands words written, though I need to go back and rewrite it. I've decided it needs to be in first person for it to work since I've realized... Well, I've realized very awesome things and I'm excited to write. Unfortunately, I have a good bit of school work to be doing this week, so the story will have to be put on hold for a while. I have an American lit paper to write, a speech to give on libraries, and a music chapter to read. Busy, busy, busy... And just as I had an idea too! How very mean.

On another note, I've joined the HP alliance chapter in my area. I'm incredibly excited to be apart of something that's helped the world so much already. I hope that we'll decrease world suck levels in our city, even just a little. Every bit counts, after all. One day our would will be filled with happiness and rainbows. Just watch, it'll happen.

Zombie tip of the day: Swords are the way to go. Ammo is a limited resource and it will run out.
