FUCK MY LIFE!!!!

So I got you to look at my blog didn't I????? YES I DID.... THANK YOU! YOU ROCK!!!!


Oh, did you think this post was about my fucked up life???? WRONG! This post is about something that I bet EVERYONE can relate to in some way.  I am going to try to make it really really short. (I ALWAYS say that)


Today was my music class, and FUCK MY LIFE for two reasons.  The first reason is because I know for a fact that I failed my quiz, the quiz we will get every single week at the beginning of class.  I knew I should of just wrote my name on the paper and gave it in.  At least if I would have done that, I would be admitting that I did not know the answers.  Instead however, I decided to try and answer the questions, and give my professor the impression that I am a complete idiot.  He doesn't know who I am yet, but at some point he will, and I felt really retarded when I looked down at the paper and did not know ONE thing.  It turns out that I studied the wrong material and so I did not know almost ANYTHING! It was horrible.  When I don't study and don't know anything, then I get upset at myself for not studying, but when I do study, but study the wrong thing, that gets me soooo extremely annoyed! I am so embarrassed at the thought that my professor is going to see my answers. 


The second FUCK MY LIFE moment today, was also in class.  This is where you, whomever you are reading this blog post, will probably be able to relate too.  You know when you are trying really really hard to forget someone and NOT think about them, but then, things keep happening and just the opposite of that happens??and whenever that happens you talk to yourself and your like OMG!!! What the fuck!!


Lately I have been trying to forget someone.  I am not trying to forget this person for any bad reasons as he did not do anything to hurt me or upset me or any of that.  Actually, things were pretty ok sort of, except for a few things that well, let's just say it was out of both our control.  It was a situation that although we both liked each other very much, we could not control and so it was best to move forward but apart.  In this specific situation it's more like, DAMN! I HAVE to FORCE myself because even though my heart says yes yes yes and I am almost certain that under different circumstances we would probably be together, we cannot.  THAT JUST PLAIN SUCKS! I finally meet someone that I felt this awesome connection with, so comfortable and almost normal and just really cool and then...... FUCK MY LIFE!


Anyway, I'm sitting in class learning some very awesome things about music and it's history, and then my professor starts talking about COUNTRY MUSIC.  At that moment I was like OMG! What the FUCK!!! That was my second Fuck My Life moment!

I have always liked country music.  I lived in Ocala, Florida for nearly a year and that is ALLLLL my boss listened to, so every now and then I would catch myself singing it.  I will not sit here and write about how much I love Country music, but I definitely appreciate all types of music and Country music isn't half bad.  Today, I learned that Country Music evolved from Ballads or "stories" that were sang without any musical instruments in the background.  It was literally a story sang by people in a way that did not require any actual music.  Later when English, Scottish and Irish Immigrants settled in Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky and brought with them "fiddle music" it was then when the first type of Country music began.  Basically, adding the fiddle to the ballads started out a whole new genre.  


Country music was later centered in Nashville, Tennessee which is currently considered the "Country music capital of the world." And here I was, all these years thinking Country music originated from Texas.  Learning is so awesome! just imagine, if I ever meet the man of my dreams and he happens to be a cowboy who loves country music, at least I can tell him I know where Country music originated! Do you see why it's so important to study and learn???


This was supposed to be a "short post" so I will leave you with one of the songs we heard in class which I really liked, it's from one of my favorite country music singers Taylor Swift..... 


PS. Country music also became popular because it described poverty amongst white's during the cole mining era's where many men died due to the conditions of the work.  Such amazing history in this country.  Pretty darn awesome if you ask me.
