Is it possible to be addicted to music?

Many people say that they "love" music , but do you really?

Well, Producer and Musician TY talks about his music addiction. I particularly think that it takes a person that reallly eats sleeps breathes and needs "real music "and makes real music to be addicted so are you?

By 2001, CONVERGE had been hometown favorites in the Boston hardcore scene for over a decade. But this would be the year that they released Jane Doe, a masterful take on extreme metal that made use of virtuosic and experimental musicianship, as well as odd rhythms akin to mathcore. The album was universally lauded by critics and audiences, propelling the band to international stardom and leaving countless imitators in its wake. In 2009 they enjoyed a renewed public interest when they released Axe to Fall, which incorporated traditional metal and progressive influences.

Today's Poetry

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

Quote of the day

“The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.”

This quote was so correct that it scared me because I never took in account the power of the media.

there seems to be a starking difference
between
wisdom and knowledge
some knowledge is useful but
is not directly connected to intuitive wisdom
wisdom is way of living
knowledge is understanding things

My Intro to the experience

We wear the mask that grins and lies,

It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—

This debt we pay to human guile;

With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,

And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,

In counting all our tears and sighs?

Nay, let them only see us, while

We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries

To thee from tortured souls arise.

We sing, but oh the clay is vile

Beneath our feet, and long the mile;

But let the world dream otherwise,

We wear the mask!
