Ramblings

       I'm now completely obsessed with The Lord of the Rings. In particular the movie soundtrack. I've always loved big dramatic minor music, such as Carmina Burana by Carl Off. Part of why I like that kind of music is because I feel it describes my personality(Dark and strong) and when I listen to minor music my imagination soars. But anyway, LOTR music has completely captured my imagination. 

       I realized the other day that.....I'm only in seventh grade, and yet I have so many responsibilities. People always expecting me to be a leader, and make things work. Sounds stupid I know, but it was kind of shocking to me. 

    
     My own interpretation of LOTR is that the ring represents power. And just as the ring takes hold of people who possess it so does power corrupt those who have it. No matter how good a persons intentions are the ring still takes hold of their soul in the end. 

     People think I'm strange, because I love music and computers. But, in the end does it really matter what they think? We have limited time on this earth, and we should spend that time paving the way for future generations, not worrying about what some ignoramous think about us.

Mod, you might enjoy this bit of comic storytelling:

Tom Shillue refers to his comedy as "tales from the not-so-dark side" of growing up in the 'burbs. In this one, he talks about how important LOTR was to him when he was growing up.
