Recently I have discovered the unusual pleasure of rocking out to Ozzy Osbourne, Guns and Roses, ZZTop, and other more hard rock music bands. And recently guitar solos have become a real passion of mine. I love listening to an amazing guitar solo and wondering what it would be like to be able to play like that (example - Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne or Hotel California by the Eagles)... My roommate was mentioning the other day that my musical tastes are so weird because I can go from listening to hard rock to rap to Tracy Chapman to musicals all in one sitting. My dad always says that music basically defines his life and I think that is definitely a gene that I got from him.
I just watched Schindler's List for like the 4th time and it continues to bedazzle me. The story of World War II is just so unbelievable. The fact that any human could do that to any other human just seems so surreal. But of course genocide didn't end with the Holocaust even though the world saw the consequences of the aftermath with the Jewish people. Yet we still have Rwanda and even the present genocide occuring in Darfur. People really love to just be so ignorant about history. No one can stop to actually soak in the lessons that are SCREAMING to be learned after each of these tragedies. We just move on and let it happen again and again. I'm surprised that I don't fear for my life like everyday because people are capable of such atrocities. We just had a test in History about WWI and the Armenian Genocide and it got me thinking about things...
I am so incredibly bored with life that I can't even come up with any more sentences. Salud!
