What is the World Coming to?

Why is everyone so absorbed in their iPhones or other smartphones? Why is everyone so obsessed with iPods and listening to music rather than playing it? What has texting done to society? People don't even talk on the phone anymore. They just text or send emails via smartphones and other texting phones. They just use the features of their iPhones to keep track of all their important documents and dates. Do calendars even exist anymore? Or do newspapers?  90% of the information people get these days comes from Twitter, an application that has exploded for no reason. Why do we need to know every single detail about a celebrity's life? They may create music or movies but they have normal regular lives just like we do. People don't even truly appreciate music anymore. They THINK they know what is good and what is lame. What ever happened to actually PLAYING music rather than just LISTENING to it and knowing good music different from the simple 4 chords that in society today is considered "music"? Don't get me wrong, I love Lady Gaga and other Indie Rock/Top 40 music but I also KNOW how to play the classical Beethoven, Bach, and occasional Chopin. What happened to singing about REAL love? A majority of songs on today's radio are based on the "loves" of the artists, but then we soon learn that _________ and __________ have broken up or divorced. It is also ironic that I'm am writing a blog on the Internet ranting about people being obsessed with technology. Hmmm...

I Miss My Family

Just as I move for Georgia Tech, my family decides to move to Oklahoma. Is this a blessing or a curse? I love my family and I wish I could be with them often but I guess that's not going to happen. But I also like freedom and independence. But independent or not, who is someone if they don't have family? I miss my father, my mother, my brother, my piano. I miss the times we had; I took them for granted while they were occurring. I miss helping my noob of a mom turn on the TV and my dad making me do things I really didn't want to do. Now that I think of it, I don't really miss that, just my family. I miss playing with my brother and competing with him for pride even though wee already know who's better at what. But in the end, it has to happen sometime and I'm here at Georgia Tech trying to make a future for myself so that I can support my parents and a family of my own in the future. I'm also really new at this blogging thing so sorry for any disappointment.
