Right-Brained Artful Romantics

The arts -- music, movies, books, writing, dancing, photography -- these are the mediums of life that touch me the most. Some people are fascinated by sports, the competitiveness of it all, others by science and mathmatical equations, politics of one kind or the other. Then there are those people who I'd like to call the "hopeless romantics," those who are touched and endeavor to touch others by their art. These are the ones who maybe find it difficult to say what's in their heart, but find that they can express themselves easier after they analyze their feelings through writing or music or art. They can see themselves best through the characters in a movie or hear their problems in a blues song. I fit into this category, this creative group of 'right-brained' individuals. I often cannot accurately tell someone how or what I feel, but give me a while at the keyboard, and I can describe them in an array of colorful words. I love how you really can 'experience' music because it can take you to another time. Often I can remember the year a certain song came out because of what that song meant to me at that particular time.

When the Next Class Isn't Open And Other Curious Questions

What makes a life interesting? Dictionaries describe the word "interesting" in terms like "holding the attention or curosity of," "absorbing, entertaining." Would my life be categorized as such? If I had to write a biolography years from now, would these be years to skip? Or maybe it's the person, not the life, per say, that should be described as interesting. Wouldn't an "interesting" person always have an interesting life, no matter what happened or didn't happen in their life? As a child, you're always waiting for the next step. When you can go to school, middle school, high school, get your license, graduate. . .and so on and so forth. And these steps have predetermined timetables that push you to move forward, to grow, to mature. But what about after school? By then you're supposed to have trained your self to be motivated, and so you have. Still there are some things that you can't personally change and there's no preset timetable that will automatically move you into Literature II after you've completed, even successfully completed, Lit I. What about those things? What if you just kept repeating Lit I, which you're good at, but kept repeating it simply because the Lit. II class wasn't open yet. Do you take Biology II instead, even if you don't have any interest in Biology II?
