If you don't understand the title of this post 1: you have a pure mind, which trust me, is a good thing. 2: You haven't heard Blurred Lines by Robin Thick. I am not going to explain that line from the song, if you don't get it, Google it. Seriously. I have enough people telling me my mind is always in the wrong place, but you know if it wasn't in the gutter half the time and I wasn't good at thinking on my feet, my friends would not have half the entertainment that they do. Sometimes I'm a fricken comedienne. Anyway that is completely off topic. The point of this post is music. Music is a big part of teens everyday life, weither they listen to Hip Hop, Pop, Rap, Country, Christian, what ever genre you listen to, its a big part of your life.
We hear music all of the time, its a daily occurrence. For me I often use music as a way to calm down after a stressful day, or when I'm upset for whatever reason, music has been there for me when people haven't. But I also listen to music to just pass time, or dance around my house and act like a freak, when I want to fill awkward silences when I'm with my friends, when I want to ignore people. Music is big in my life, I listen to all types of music. If you went and looked through my iPod, I think you would be soooo confused by the amount of different genres I have! But I love each and every song on there in a different way.
Not only do I listen to music, I also play music. If it hasn't come up I play the flute at school for band. I've been playing since the talent show in 5th grade. I love playing music, especially pep band! That's when I love music, when I can feel the music. Sometimes in class you will find me swaying to the music we are playing because I am just that into it.
Music is such an important part of our lives, especially our teenage years. Sometimes I wish artists would use music to convey more positive messages instead of the ones they do, but really who really listens that hard to the lyrics.
I don't understand how I can remember soooo many song lyrics but nothing that I learn in school. I might have to pull a Hannah Montana and turn the stuff I learn in school into a song:) haha maybe not, I have no talent in signing, or making songs, I've tried writing a couple songs, my friends made fun of me :)
I have found more and more music parody's on YouTube, all of which are fricken HILARIOUS! Just to let you guys know:)
Right now my favorite music is mostly county but I also LOVE Little Mix, One Direction, Imagine Dragons, and more country. If you want to check out a cool song listen to Popular Song by Mika and Ariana Grande. Its good:) I think the general message is you are popular as long as you are being you. I might be super wrong though. Oh and Made in the USA by Demi Lovato is good!
What are your guy's favorite tunes right now? What genres do you listen to? Let me know in the comments!!
'Yeahhh, I like a little Captain in my coke. You know I like a little good time in my smoke, With a pair of tan legs hangin' off the tailgate, Underneath the bridge down Harrison Road, I like fried chicken right off the bone, I like my peaches home grown. Pickin' on a six string, listenin' to the choir sing, With a little Garth on the radio. A little bit of Florida, A little bit of Georgia, And a whole lot of country in my soul.'

The Fault in Our Stars
If you have read The Fault in Our Stars, you can skip the explanation of the plot, otherwise enjoy!!
For my birthday (the first) I received the book The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Now I had heard a lot of good things about this book and recently have become a fan of John Greens work. I must say if you haven't read this book, I suggest you get your butt to your nearest book store or library and pick it up. This book is one of the greatest and saddest books I have read in a while. I mean I fall in love with a lot of books but I literally read this book in like two days, I was hooked, and I haven't been hooked on a book in a while. This book literally made me cry. At the end I just sat there weeping. I do have a bone to pick with Mr.Green. WHY is all I ask WHY!! I was expecting a happy ending, not one that made me cry!! I am not going to tell you guys what made me cry in case you have not read The Fault In Our Stars, because it is a plot twist and if I told you then it just ruin the whole experience of reading the book.
I would honestly give this book a 10 out of 10 rating. It was such a wonderful book. It had a great mix of drama, happiness, sadness and ughh it was just a wonderful book!!
The basic plot line of the book is there is this girl, Hazel, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer of the lungs at age 13 and is on a drug that had basically kept her alive. Hazel doesn't really leave the house, she was pulled out of school, although she takes college classes over at her local community college. Her mom is quite overbearing, always close, always there. So Hazel becomes sort of depressed, she doesn't really leave the house, she doesn't have a lot of friends, nor does she hang out with of her friends a lot. Her mom signs her up for a cancer support group. She goes to this weekly. She had kind of became friends with this one boy Issac, who one week brought his friend, Augustus. Augustus stared at Hazel the entire time at support group. Augustus is an amputee from osteosarcoma, which he had and is now in remission. After support group he pulls Hazel aside and they being talking. She goes over to his house and that's where their friendship starts. They bond over Hazels favorite book 'An Imperial Affliction'. They begin to spend more time together and Gus loves An Imperial Affliction. Hazel really wanted to meet the author of her favorite book after an email exchange with the author that Gus had and so did Hazel. The author, through his personal assistant agreed that if she came to Amsterdam, where he lived, he would tell her what happens after the book had finished, as she was always obsessed with what happens after the book ends, but the author never wrote a second book. Gus, using his 'wish' from the 'genies' (like Make A Wish) to fly him and Hazel over to talk to the author. The author was not what either of them expected. He was a drunk. Although upset they still had a great time in Amsterdam. The authors assistant takes them around to different places in Amsterdam as she had set up the meeting without the authors knowledge and she felt terrible about the way he reacted. This is where Hazel learns something terrible.
This is where I stop because you need to read the novel yourself because if I tell you then it just doesn't give you the same affect when you read it. If you really want to know, Google it.
Thank you John Green for writing such a great book and many other books, such as Looking for Alaska, which I am also not to happy with the ending of that book either, but that's for a later date:)
Honestly this is one of the best books I've read in a while and I really suggest you read it too!! If you have read it, let me know your thoughts in the comments down below!!
