First Blog, First Entry.

Well, this is interesting. I never really contemplated creating a blog and then all of a sudden, while working on an assignment for E.B. Marketing and Strategic Planning, I feel compelled to create one. To be honest, this is simply to get all of those thoughts that no one hears, out into the traveling word world. You know what thoughts I'm talking about. Those thoughts that come to you in those times of in between conversations, the ones that come to you right before you go to sleep (which is when some of the most open-minded and creative thoughts come about mind you), and those that come from random smells, sounds, and sights. These are the thoughts that typically aren't discussed, the ones that you think to yourself, "No one will really care to hear these because they are meaningless and will amount to no high value conversation." Well, you see, I think we need a place for those. This is my place. Most likely, as in my everyday contemplating mind, this will be my place to discuss thoughts that stem from my greatest passion: Music. You know, that element that trickles in and out of our ears and sparks movements, ideas, business plans, the want to exercise, to mend a friendship, to ask that girl out on a date, to travel to a country one has never been, to watch a certain type of movie, or to take a journey in one's contemplative mind and exercise one's imaginative adventure seeking thoughts. Music is what connects the World. With that said, how can one NOT become passionate about such a monumental experience that occurs everyday.  Simply take a look, whether you are a "fan" of music (believe it or not, I've had some people actually tell me that they do not like music) or not, it enters your brain everyday through radio, shopping in a store, watching a program or commercial, etc. It's EVERYWHERE, which is AMAZING!

I know, you may be thinking to yourself "Brian, you are rambling.". You know what, it happens. It will happen often, and this is a factual assumption (paradox?).  However, I must end my rambling for now. You see, I'm in the middle of an assignment. This whole blog creation has been a tangent, and yet a tangent that will continue at a later time.

I leave you with this..."The Lucky Ones" by Brendan James. This is the song that I was listening to throughout the duration of this ramble. Listen to it, pay attention to the lyrics, and feel free to leave your thoughts on this.
