One particular form of art that I've really enjoyed recently is music. Wherever I go and whatever I'm doing I have to have some sort of music going on or I can't focus. Whether I be with my friends or doing homework or going to sleep, I am always listening to music. I think part of this is because I have so much going on this year especially that music is some sort of escape that I can entrance myself in and lose my stress for an hour, if I'm lucky. What this "form of art" entails is just a beat and some sort of singing and instrumentals behind it. I don't really know how else to describe what music physically is. But I do listen to all kinds of music. Usually when I'm trying to relax or get homework done I will listen to more relaxed music. But when I go to bed or I"m with friends, I tend to want to listen to house music or something like it. I can't really explain why I like to listen to different kinds of music at different times, I guess I just have a different state of mind when I'm in a different setting doing different things. For others, I would recommend any kind of music, whatever floats your boat. Whether that be deadmau5 or banjo music, as long as it gets you in a good mood I would say just listen to it and tune out the world, even if you only get to get away for 10 minutes. Personally I like to listen to the Black Eyed Peas. I get a lot of grief for liking this band so much, but I don't really care. A lot of people only know this revolutionary band for their bad SuperBowl performance or their switch of sound between the late 1990s and their comeback in 2009. But to me I just listen to the lyrics and connect to what I think is real in them. A lot of their songs talk about world peace or not worrying about what other people think, and I think that those kinds of messages are really good to send to the public. Obviously I would recommend anyone who previously made fun of the Black Eyed Peas to listen to some of their songs that didn't necessarily make it on the radio and tell me that the song as a whole is bad. Maybe you don't like the sounds that come with the lyrics or vise versa, but there is always something good when it comes to the Black Eyed Peas.
I think both of these songs are the two of the best that the Black Eyed Peas have to offer:

Hey, you girls, take some advice from a guy. So listen, girls. Us guys know that you have a million and one problems going on at once and we know your brains are messed up right now, at this time of your delicate lives. But please don't take it out on us. Guys are stupid- let's face it... We don't know what you're thinking 24 hours a day 7 days a week. We won't pick up on your hints or your tests that you think are so obvious. If you have something to say to us, just say it plain and simple. We don't have the time nor the willingness to spend the time to figure out what you are trying to say. And please don't give us crap when we say something "stupid" or "wrong". Listen up, most guys are going to tell you what is on their minds and we are not going to think about what you feel about what we have to say. Second, us guys know the different pains you go through. Whether they are mental and physical we feel the same things, if not worse things, we just don't need to express each emotion that we have. Just relax.
The thing that annoys me the most is conceded people. Whether it be standing still in the hallway not giving a crap about where anyone else has to go or dumb drivers that don't look where they're going, the stupid things people do just gets on my last nerve. Take my two most prominent examples that I've stated above; clogging the hallways and stupid driving. First, standing still in the hallway. How hard is it to just move to the side so that the normal people that are trying to get to their classes and avoid detention can fast-walk in peace. It really isn't that hard to move one foot to the left or right and let people move. Like honestly just get out of my way. Second, dumb drivers. This is one of the most irritating things I have encountered in my almost seventeen years on this planet. People that don't think while they drive don't deserve to drive. If you don't look before you turn or don't think to break a little before you come to a stop, why are you behind a death machine? I speak to all dumb drivers when I say "you". You need to understand this, get this fact through your fat filled head. The normal people on the road are trying to get somewhere in peace, and we don't need the extra stress added onto the mountain that we already have. Just stop driving badly or stop driving.
Ten years from now I'll want to be living in New York City or Los Angeles as a orthopedic surgeon (bone doctor). I want to live in New York or Los Angeles for two main reasons: 1) I love the city lifestyle. The hustle-bustle of a few million people, the countless number of family-owned or chain restaurants, the numerous night clubs, the amazing work opportunities, etc. The city is just fun- I will never get tired of the kind of lifestyle of living in a city. 2) Cities offer the best work opportunities in the country. Especially as a doctor or surgeon, there are huge numbers of places to work, as opposed to some country village in the middle of Nebraska. In the city there are dozens of hospitals, clinics, and private practices that a doctor or surgeon can get involved with. As well as a higher pay roll because of the millions of patients that you will most likely have. Also, the close knit buildings promotes walking to and from work, which is a good form of exercise. In some random town in the middle of farms and cow manure, there are little practices to choose from and the pay is not nearly as much because of the lack of population.
