Music is the Spice of Life

Every morning as I rush off to school (That word sends a shiver down my spine seeing as how it starts tommorrow) I have my CD player running and my headphones jamming to some muzak. I have found that I have a very broad range, although it is all in the rock genre. I like almost all rock between the Beatles and Godsmack. I hate rap and country though. Rap, while it has a good base sometimes, seems to me to just be some guy talking in rhymes. Anyone can rap:

Yo fo jizzle!
I sat on ma shizzle!
Me an' my goil
playin in the soil
don't be a foo yo!

Country to me is always some crying cowboy. Who wants to see that? Cowboys are suppose to be strong, they are suppose to be men, not little girls.

Oh, my dog ran away
My girl left me today
I got a tear down my cheek
As I fish from the creek
I go to the bar
Watchin' NASCAR . . .

Which leads to another question of mine. What is the connection between NASCAR, pick up trucks, backwater hicks, snowmobiles, ATV's and country music? Why do all of these go together like peas in a pod? I want to know because I truly have no idea.

Classical music and jazz are boring. There is only one type of music. Rock.

I like that old time of rock and roll!
Let the music just sooth the soul!
I remenisce about days of old!
I like that old time of rock and roll!

I like oldies and newbies. Beatles and Godsmack, Monkees and Three Doors Down. If it has a good beat and melody, I'll like it. I usually don't care about the lyrics. Being a Dave Matthew's fan, I usually don't know what the lyrics mean anyways. Pantala Naga Pampa? Whatever, I like it.

Funny how Dave Matthews Band is my all-time favorite band, yet they don't have my favorite song. Songs are different. I'd give you a top ten list, but there are way too many good songs for me to consider. My top two are Serenity by Godsmack and Can't Get Away by Third Eye Blind, but I like lots of groups, new and old, the Beatles, AC/DC, Dave Matthews, Blue's Image - Ride Captain Ride, Lost Prophets, Three Days Grace, Three Doors Down, Simon and Garfunkel - Cecilia, and so many more.

War by Edwin Starr is my current political statement.

By the way, this blog's title is a tribute to Dave Matthew's Band. The Last Stop is a song about war and it points out that peace cannot be gained through war. This isn't the only reason why this blog is called the last stop, but its a big part of it.

In other news, I failed my Arnold test in Civil Air Patrol again. Damn test keeps getting me every single time. And yet its so stupid. It should be easy. It is a leader ship test that advances me to my third rank, C/Airman 1st Class. I started as a Basic and moved up to Airman about a month ago. The test, being about leadership should have been simple. This one is about communication and flags and its all common sense, or so it seems.

When the audience laughs or yawns you are getting?

2. Feedback

4. Screwed
   

How hard is that? B - Feedback. Duh. All the questions are like that, so why in hell have I failed every single time? There is a curse in my particular squadron, no one, until recently, has passed that test on the first go. Usually, I'm the record breaker of that group. This time, however, I wasn't. It's gonna be like those damn O-Flights, every time I try I fail.

War! Huh! What is it good for? Absolutly Nothing! Say it again!
