Ears

I think ears are funny. They stick out the side of your head. They are usually the first things to get frostbite. Since I am studying music, I'm able to recognize a chord change in a song. With my ears, I can gain knowledge from a teacher. I can ease someone's burden by listening to their troubles and thoughts. I can hear someone cry in anguish or laugh in absolute joy.

That last song was in 4/4 time. With my ears I was able to hear 3 counts cowbell, 1 count rest, and 1 measure rest, then it repeated. I can hear someone's message to the world through their music. Music is a universal language. It speaks to the soul, and whispers to the heart.

I don't really like soprano opera singers. They kind of give me a headache. I prefer tenor and bass singers. They're so much easier to listen to, and they're calming.

My desk is causing my butt quite an amount of pain right now. I'm getting tired of sitting all the time. School isn't very good for one's posture, I've decided. Our super heavy backpacks cause us to hunch over, and the shoulder muscles get really tense. People say that my shoulder massages are like a little piece of heaven. I wouldn't know, because I can't get my hands at the right angle to give myself a shoulder massage. But it's friday, so it's a good day. I hope it rains this weekend. The air needs to get cleared out.

Haha! Barry White?! Really! I could barely keep my giggles down when the song started. I thought about the day after Christmas when I woke up to my family listening to Barry White while taking down the Christmas decoartions. It was a weird day. Barry White is an enormous black guy.

I'm not racist, honestly! It was just really suprising to listen to Barry White during school.

So I don't understand. Is it offensive and wrong to call someone black? Because then people think you're racist, but if you say they're African American, some people look at you like you're crazy!
