The Sceptic Sonnet

      During the Renaissance period, everything was about God and the Roman Catholic Church. The only music that was played during this era was music written for God. Composers could only publish their music if the Monarchy liked and approved it. The music from this period is absolutely beautiful. Everything is in perfect harmony and are composed of perfect major chords, that begin and end on a tonic (the same note). There wasn't much diversity in the chords that could be used.     Here is one of the most popular songs back then that is still widely known by some churches. You can here just how "perfect" everything sounds.     Since there wasn't much distinction in the music, anything other than the norm was really terrifying to people. In fact the church decided that certain chords were simply not allowed in music. The most hated being tritones or as they called it " Diabolus in Musica" meaning "The Devil's Interval." There terms ...

   Blogging is something that everyone around me seems to do. I used to think that having a facebook or twitter is enough, but I guess not. I'm seeing more and more of my friends posting on facebook, "go look at my new blog!" "I'm documenting my new adventures and motherhood!" I honestly am intrigued by all of these. Even if I was never interested in my friend from preschool's life before, I suddenly am now. I think there is a certain formula to creating a good blog, however, anyone with the access to internet can most certainly create one.  Here's me talking about blogs whilst writing a blog...     I'm not the kind of person to go around and search for cool!, new!, and hip! blogs. I definitely was a tumblr kid in high school, so I get it, but I'll most likely only keep up on a blog if it's a friends, or about dogs. The blog "Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund" does exactly that. It's a hilarious blog about dog adventures...

This blog has been quite the wild ride. When I first started this project, I was terrified. I wanted to quit the whole class because of how much I hated the sound of having to write multiple blog entries. However, I realized pretty quickly that the point of the blog was that it could really be anything, it doesn't have to contain status updates about your life if you don't want to. I stopped hating writing blogs pretty quickly, but I never have essentially enjoyed it either since ya know, it's for a class. I probably won't write anymore on here if its for personal reasons just because why would I?         I appreciate that our class didn't have to write a fourth essay since the 3 we had took up enough time. I think that this blog really helped me in the class overall, not because I learned some lesson from it, but because the writing needed for these was much less or at least felt like a lot less than the main essays.        Writin...

It's not that we're broken, It's not that we have some troubled past. We all have the same opportunities, the same trials and discorded family. But, we choose to live a life separate from the hypocrisy; the American Dream. We weren't born for some "greater good" White picket fence, and a white washed job. It's not about building a future for yourself. We can only make a mark beneath our steps and we are the ones who are divided. We are those who are forgotten, but we are those who made the most of where we could. So stop creating this stigma that we our anything less than where you are because if handed all the riches of our land, your life would feel no more meaningful than ours.
