Sing, Sing

   Imagine if money were no object in the world we live in. Would the world be a better place? Would we actually be happy?

   One perk of a world without money is that we would have the freedom to do whatever we please. Not that we do not have that ability already, but we could choose any career we want. We would not have to worry if it was "practical", or not. There are so many possibilities. For instance, I aspire to be a singer, yet that is not a life choice to rely on. Singing has always been my passion, just as music is the love of my life. When I sing, I feel like I am being heard.

   Music drowns out the world, and creates a peaceful sanctuary. It has a huge impact on me, and an influence on many others. The lyrics of a song can reach out and touch hearts, within seconds. That is what I want to do. I want the sounds that flow out of my mouth to be the same ones that save a life.

You Kill Me (In A Good Way)

   One of my biggest hobbies is that I like to watch television shows that ruin my life. Well, maybe not actually ruin my life, but they emotionally damage me. It is true. Perhaps the most saddening, and my favorite, is Supernatural. Supernatural is a show about two brothers who hunt monsters and demons (no I am not a Satanist). Anyway, the show is either really sad or really funny. There is not an in between. I became emotionally attached to these characters, but they die a lot. This causes me to die as well. Why did I start to watch this..?

   Another show that I watch is Sherlock, a show based on the Sherlock Holmes novels. This show is very interesting to me, but also upsetting. A downside to this show is that there is only six aired episodes, and each episode is an hour and a half long. The last episode ended in the biggest plot twist/cliff-hanger ever (No spoilers!). However, that episode aired a year ago. 

   The last show, that I am still trying to finish, is Doctor Who. This show is about a Timelord who travels through time, fighting aliens, with his current companion. Doctor Who was actually an older show, and now they are adding on to it. I have not finished this show, yet I really enjoy it. 

   These shows can get really depressing, and I would not advise watching any of them. Although they may ruin lives, they are really great shows. Also, they are full of really skilled and attractive actors.
