It's still falling down...
Thank you for the track All Falls Down. A long time ago, when life was simpler, this was simply a song with a funky beat and great lyrics that had a great vibe to it. Those were my adolescent days with my juvenile problems that felt like true cataclysmic catastrophes. Those would pale in comparison to the things that stress me today. This song speaks volumes about the trials and tribulations one will encounter on the road to glory. I’m sure we all know how the song goes, but take into consideration the separate phases the song goes through in just a matter of minutes. Now I’m writing solely based on my own experiences and interpretations of the song. I’ve second-guessed both of my degrees from the moment I got them because it’s so hard to find passion in a field with little to no grey area. “That major that she majored in don’t make no money.” Story of my life. Because the money to be made entails becoming a person I’m not equipped to be. Selling yourself for a dollar is the theme. I thought I could find security in a field that wouldn’t deviate so far from the rules and that hasn’t been the case. The song itself reminds me that things will continue to go wrong as long as you keep focusing on all the wrongs around you. It takes a strong mind to be able to see the positives around you whenever everything seems darkest. The song will transcend time and generations because the problems depicted in the song have continued to plague our society. Many will criticize a person that decides to overlook their shortcomings for the pursuit of happiness. But those same people will also advise you to do what makes you happy. The contradiction lies in the fact that advice can only seem sound when that person is happy with their situation. The struggles we encounter will always be in abundance. It helps define us because the person that rises from being knocked down is never the same person that went down. You rise a little tougher, a little wiser, a lot more determined.

Tiffany WormackPublished 2 years ago in BeatThe Subway and the Violinist
There’s a greatly discussed social “experiment”, in which a very talented professional violinist by the name of Joshua Bell played his instrument on a subway platform in Washington. Only a few nights prior he had played the exact same ridiculously expensive violin in a Symphony Hall concert which had sold out in minutes. He spent approximately 45 minutes on the platform during which time exactly 1097 people stopped to listen for at least a few moments. Out of those who paused only 27 gave him any money and only seven stopped for any length of time. The pieces he played were classics, recognized masterpieces, and they were played by one of the greatest violinists of the time, on one of the most lauded violins in existence, yet almost nobody cared. It is said that he made only a bit more than half of the price of one of the seats at the Symphony Hall he’d filled just three days earlier.

10 Spooky Ways Music Affects Your Brain
If you're anything like me, then you know that music has an immense effect on your mood. Something as simple as a riff or even a few notes can put you in the perfect state of mind for everything from writing a paper to smashing through some reps at the gym. That's why it should come as no surprise that the power of music can be harnessed in other ways too, including medically or to help people with disabilities communicate with one another.

Identity politics have become the societal norm in American culture. Which team do you represent and why? Within the last century that “why” has changed. Republicans and Democrats have convolutedly manipulated their bases historically. That manipulation has led to numerus policy and rhetoric hypocrisies among both parties alike. I want to break down piece by piece exactly how each party became what we know today and why such drastic rhetorical changes came about. Politics change and adapt over time. This we understand. The confusion comes from inconsistencies within each party’s bottom line. What is the end goal for both Republicans and Democrats? Over time that goal has changed as the flow of information has become readily accessible. Accessible information leads to progression of the human thought process. That progression is the catalyst for political and economic change amongst officials and supporters alike.

As if anybody is reading this, I just lost seventy or so words with a defective browser ( Dingo's ) . I was about to say that on second thought I might negate effectively this piece by discussing what for me is verboten. I refer to a certain so called adult film. I right now am interested in the monologue essentially.
