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.
