voting

I am on the fence about if I think just one vote "Mine" counts. There is part of me thinking there is so many people voting why does my one little vote matter? There is also a part of me that thinks hey what if it came down to only needing one vote to say who won and then I didn't vote, that could be my vote that says who wins, I could be that important. I think it all depends on how you look at it which helps how you feel about it. I have not voted yet because at the time I was not old enough but I don' think I would have voted last year because of all the different things that were said about both parties that I was not sure which I wanted to believe. Guess i'm leaving the people decide who should be in office this time.

Character

I think character is a good thing,  I think it should be what wins something. I mean a person with great character in all he does can win a election but if he has a family problem or is handicap in someway things change. Why is that? Same with if someone doesn't look handsome or super nice they don't get considered as good as the ones who looks amazing even if their intentions are better. I think people should focus on character more and stop worrying about what people look like or if something is not perfect on them. It is what they can bring into this world and who they can help is all that should matter.

Downloading Music

I think there should be some music that it is okay to download freely. I mean with the economy how it is and all the job losses there are not that many people that can go out and buy all the different Cd's that are out there to hear the couple songs they like. I also don't think that if people get caught downloading illegally that they should have to pay so much, I mean come on a download is .99 cents so why are the courts making people pay hundreds and thousands of dollars for one song. What is right about that? I think there is a thin line about how fair the courts are being with this music downloading thing.

Music and Me

      I love looking back and remembering when my favorite song came out. I was dancing around my living room with my best friend amber listening to the radio when the DJ came on announcing a new song by the spice girls, "If you wanna be my lover".
    We turned it up and starting dancing around the room singing and laughing. My mom walked in and just shook her head. She kept telling us to turn down the music and to do our homework. All we wanted to do was play it over and over again.
    My mom might not have liked it at the time but now she thinks back and laughs at what fools we were making of our selves. She then sat down to tell me about the way she reacted to her favorite song when she was my age.
    As she went on I sat there and thought of how funny it would be to see my mom doing these things she was telling me. It made me think of how much times had changed from when she was young to when I was. It also made me think okay if that much can change in a short period of time what would it be like and what music would be out when I had kids of my own and they were teenagers.
     Music has changed rapidly over the course of years, and even months. Things our parents liked we might have thought was super old and things our kids one day will like might be something weird to us. Our kids will one day think what we listen to today is really old and lame. Time goes on and things change but one thing that doesn't is there will always be some kind of music and kids will be there loving it and dancing around having fun and parents will just wonder what happened to the good old music from there younger days.
