Are you trapped in TV Land??

Sometimes we need to be mindful of the message the media sends to us…. song lyrics, videos, movies and TV shows can all be entertaining but it leaves us wondering what is the meaning of it all ---especially for impressionable minds it can be a bit misleading. Not only the young ones are susceptible to this but also persons who may not have a firm grasp of reality or knowledge of themselves. I love music, movies and TV (some) as much as the next person but does it really alter our perception of real life and influence our judgement? Although it is sometimes a microcosm of our world ---we need to be careful that we don’t get consumed by it all. Be that as it may, when I first started

They say music is the “heart of our soul.” This is so true, I’m sure there is a song for every possible emotion we experience and for every symbolic moment in our life…first dances, graduations, first dates, new car, new job/promotion, wedding day, new baby, anniversaries…even in times of anger and sorrow—music can heal a wounded heart and ease grief in times of loss of a loved one. Music is timeless…it’s therapeutic and it’s the lifeblood of any party. I personally like 80s music…but I have an appreciation for all genres spread over the many different decades. Music can make anyone feel that they are the best singer or dancer in the world and music can make people do strange things! It can arouse feelings of nostalgia or produce a montage of emotions. Let’s face it --without it our life would be silent, apathetic and mundane…. well maybe I’m being a bit extreme but as you can tell I love musiq!!

I would leave you with a quote from one of my all time FaVouriTE artistes:

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”

Bob Marley (1945-1981)

Okay so this article isn't about soul searching as previous entries but everyone needs a little entertainment now and then. This is all about finding that kid within all of us, as we journey back to a time that is now maybe restricted to syndicate. Happy times that made us laugh, sometimes made us cry, maybe taught us a lesson or two, but one thing's for sure - we can never replace those days...for it represents a particular period in time...(c)
