on the radio (whoah oh oh oh)

bumblebee has got the right idea.  you know that giant yellow autobot from transformers. the one who cant talk so he speaks through the radio using song lyrics to express his feelings and emotions or just plain lyrics to say what he wants to say. to me, song lyrics are one of the best ways to express yourself.  think about it.  
people sometimes serenade girls when they like them, putting their emotions into song. or even using somebody else's words to tell your girl how you really feel.  im not going to say this is the best use of song lyrics but its one. its cheesy but hey, if your girls into it, go for it. 
theres also musicals.  for those of you who dont know, first of all go buy a theater ticket, and second its like a play but the  majority of the lines are sung instead of spoken. so in this case, its an entiere dialogue sung. its not necessarily expressing only emotions or something its just putting a pit orchestra, pitch and melody to a normal conversation. although i do have to admit its a little weird if you think about it like if you just broke into random song and or dance in the middle of a day. it would be cool and incredibly weird....but musicals are awesome so its all ok. 
background music in television shows and movies. directors use it to set the mood. just the dialogue isint enough sometimes.  or sometimes dialogue cant convey the mood that the director wants.  that silence where nothing is spoken but a song is played in the background and you know whats going on, you know what you should be feeling.
songs have an incredible power to control your mood. from fast beat to classical happy/hyper to calm or sad.  just the beat can control you. but nobody really realizes it that much.  and it changes the atmosphere too. school dances, concerts, parties anything where theres music. people go from jumping to swaying or running around alone to pairing up and moving with the slow rhythm. it even gets into your heart. the vibrations from the floor travel up into you and meet with the beating of your heart. and it feels incredible. but its not only about the power that the beat or rhythm have over you. its also about the lyrics. and when you listen to a song people tend to think they are listening to the lyrics but in reality its just a trick you play on yourself. how many songs do you really know all the lyrics to or have you really listened to what the artist is really trying to say. some of the fastest upbeat songs can be the saddest ones. just listen to the words.

I for an eye

Eyes are fascinating.  i think that they are a persons best feature and the most interesting one too.  i mean apart from some other feature i cant remember at this moment they are the only thing on your body that stays the same size from the time you are born. and each person has a unique eye, every single pair is different than the other. (i dont know if these are proven scientific facts but i think they might be) its like a finger print that distinguishes you from every person in the world but its not as conventional as a fingerprint or anything and its not nearly as widely used.  i dont think a criminal could leave like an eye print or something at a crime scene...but i digress
eyes are just so amazingly incredible! just think about it.  theres the color of your eyes, theres so many variations and so many shades! all the pigmentation that goes into making your unique color its unbelievable. and the patterns inside. i know that my eyes personally are pure brown. there almost no lines in them (i dont know what the proper terminology is for the lines that go from the edge of the iris to the pupil) so they simply look like a brown piece of glass, perfectly smooth and almost as dark as my pupil to the point where its hard to distinguish them.  and theres people with two different colored eyes and people with specs of different colors in their eyes there so many different variations....
then theres emotion. its incredible that no matter how big your smile is or how sad you look your eyes are the real give away to how you really are or how you really feel.  everyone has a different type of eye, like dead eyes or hollow eyes.  those are probably the worst. its like someone who seems to have no emotion. then theres angry eyes like people who simply always look angry or maybe they are just angry at that moment.  but its still more hurtful and stinging than the meanest thing you could say to someone.  then theres the judgmental eyes. probably the harshest eyes of them all.  someone who without saying anything can rip you to pieces with one glance. completely tear down your self esteem. its not something you should be proud of nor is it a skill you should aspire to have. just knowing one person can do so much damage with such a small part of their body and such small effort makes me cringe. i hate the judgmental stares because im always on the other side of them.  and trust me it hurts. 
but its not all bad, there are happy eyes, kind eyes, loving eyes. those eyes that you want to look into all night, the person with the golden twinkle in their eye the kind of eye that you want to catch at a party and you want to just stare into them all night. those are the kind of eyes with a captivating power.  
making eye contact.  even more poweful than an entire conversation with someone.  
how can such a small thing carry so much power!  so maybe its true that power doesnt lie in number or in size.  


ps: this post is really disorganized and its not my best so sorry! i will be better tomorrow
