How my music and food choices relate to my life!
I never really thought about how my ipod music collection or the contents of my refrigerator could cast an image of who I am. People who don’t know me and were just to look at different components that make up who I am would definitely be able to come up with a few predictions of the kind of person I am. As I was looking at all my music I realized that I have a very eclectic taste in music. I have music ranging from pop to rap to country and much more. The reason I like pop songs is because they are easy to sing along to and I like to sing for fun. Country songs on the other hand usually tell a story which is very interesting to try to interpret. I think the reason I like so many different types of music is because they all have different meanings and are each good for a different time and place. There is never a time where at least one of the songs on my itunes is not appropriate. People might look at this and say that the only reason I have all different types of music is because I can’t decide which ones I really like. While this is not the case for my music it really does relate to my every day life. I can never make up my mind when it comes to making decisions. I can go back and forth forever. If someone were to look at the contents of my fridge they would judge me for sure. They would probably say I only eat junk food and am a really unhealthy eater. This is not the case while I really like junk food I also like almost all fruits and vegetables. This shows how it is very hard to judge someone based on a few things you see about their life. Just by looking at these things nobody would really be able to tell what my true values are. The things that I value the most are my family and friends. Just by looking at simple aspects of your everyday life can really leave out what is most important.

Morgan, I really enjoyed your blog entry. I agreed with almost all of your thoughts and deductions. I thought that the comment regarding your indecisiveness was very revealing and insightful. I do think that your music choice has a lot to say about who you are if you interpret it correctly. Which I think you did, because I got a better picture of who you are and as this class continues hopefully I can build off of that.
ReplyDeleteOn occasion, Cosmo runs articles about how to get to know YOUR MAN through the contents of his CD or DVD collection. I've always been amused by them, precisely for the reasons you mention. A person's taste in movies or music doesn't really reflect their deepest values and beliefs. If you're going to judge someone by the fact that they, say, have the complete works of Kenny G on their shelf, you might miss a lot.
ReplyDeleteI agree on what you said about having hard time judging people based on only few things that we see. I liked your writing and I hope that by reading your blog, I get to know you more and to know you in class.
