The blog stops here.

Actually, it starts here but my titles never have anything to do with anything so what difference does it make? I had an interesting series of thoughts in the car today, see if you can follow the logic:

I like this song, even though it has no lyrics. --> Huh, Most of my favorite songs have no words. --> Does that seem ironic to anyone else considering my choice of profession? (Note: This is a bit odd, no? Asking questions to a non-existant audience in your head?) --> In the writing world we are taught to believe that language is so important and whatnot, but music can communicate just as well, if not better, because it can be understood by anyone. --> Isn't it interesting the way music and dance are interrelated? --> Why does the human body react that way? --> When people hear rythmic music, nodding the head or tapping the toe is almost involuntary. --> Words can't create that kind of reaction.

I'm not sure if I learned anything from all this, it's not like I'm going to give up writing and become a musician now, I just think it is interesting the way the two are intertwined. Maybe I could write songs... Ah, but that get's us right back to the beginning; right between a marsh and a soft place (if you think about it is a much more logical place to get stuck).

Also, be sure to tune in next week when I'll show you how to suprise your significant other by turning an ordinary photo of GWB into a sexy, Valentine's Day version of Neptune, God of the Sea!!
