What is Music For?

Music. I could never live without it. Classical, alturnative, pop... all those, I couldn't live without. Music is for... letting your emotions out, to feel better about yourself. If your mad, you can hit someone, or sing a song. When your sad, you can cry or play an instrument. That's what I do. Music is for giving you something to do other than watch tv or go on the computer. Listen to it when you read, compose your own songs, whatever you want! Does it really matter what you want to do with music? It is a powerful force that we have created to bring pleasure into life. Even the less fortunate sing to pass the time and say how life has its ups and downs. People listen to what music has to say! Mearly saying something doesn't have enough enthusiasm or force as a short tune or song. A life without music isn't a life at all. Take that into consideration next time your bored or feeling a little down.

The Definition of Normal

My friend once asked me a simple question. "What does normal mean? If everyone is different, does that mean, different is... normal?" I didn't know how to answer. I didn't. I only said,"I guess so," smiled and changed the subject. But now that I think about it, what she said, seems true. What is the deffinition of 'Normal'? I'm not quite sure. I looked the def. in the dictionary and it says,"conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular" I just chose that deffinition out of about 10. But, everyone is different, everyone has a distinct face, feature different from another. Even twins are different! How is it possible to have the deffinition be the antonym of that exact word? Apparently it is possible. I put a lot of thought into the answer, too much maybe. The deffinition should be, in my opionion, "What people think the definition it is, because each answer is different." You may disagree with me, but again, what would the normal answer be?
