So I'm talking to my friends, and they are all music geeks. By that I mean that they play instruments avidly. I am not musically gifted so maybe there's something about that that prevents me from seeing music things how they see it, idk.
ANYWHORE!
The one friend of mine is all about string instruments and I fucking love string instruments so I love talking to her about those.
So we were talking about that when my other two friends come up and as soon as they hear the topic of our conversation they freak out like, "OH MY GOD I HATE STRINGS!"
And I'm all like, "Why you gotta be hate'n on strings?"
Then they both go on for about five minutes on whatever reasons they have for hating string instruments. Mind you they are marching band people, one of them is on drumline the other is a trombone player. I can understand them being a little bias towards their instrument, but they were just being down right rude towards string instruments and the people who play them.
That really offended me and I don't play any instruments.
I love everything about musical instruments though. They are just so fucking cool.
Instruments make beautiful dynamic sounds from vibrations caused by different materials moving against one another. And the people who play them get so into it when they play, like when a person sings. You can literally see them pouring their heart into their instrument, and the way they sound is just unreal.
Even more modern electronic instruments these days are unbelievable. They sound other worldly, as do regular instruments. And the mechanics that go into woodwinds are crazy!
Like just pressing one button on a flute makes like fifteen other things shift but if you press a different button only half of those fifteen move and then you add the fact that the sound is so light and feathery like a bird it's utterly mind boggling.
Thinking about all of it is like thinking about the wonders of nature or outer space or the human/animal/organism mind. (I really hope you guys know what I'm talking about here)
I guess I'm just a really optimistic person. I have a really positive look on life and death. I'm not saying that I laugh when someone dies. What I mean is that I do not see it as a completely awful thing. The circle of life is inevitable and honestly I really don't like it when people fuck with it too much. The reason we as humans aren't really evolving is because we are afraid of the inevitable. Vaccines and treatments are literally stopping the evolutionary process. Even if you are cured of a disease that doesn't mean your child won't have the possibilities of getting it. EVOLUTION IS AN AMAZING PROCESS THAT SHOULD NOT BE TAMPERED WITH! Sadly, it already has.
(Woah I got real serious there lets brighten the mood)
It's fucking amazing the whole goddam universe is fucking amazing and I don't care what anybody says to disagree. The shit that we are capable of is bloody fucking awesome. All of it.

The image up there is the color of the universe no joke google it it's a real thing and it's goddam extraordinary.
