My Introduction

Hey I'm James, if you can't tell this is my sociology blog. So I'm assuming that if you are reading this you are one of Mrs. Castelli's students, and if your not I haven't the slightest clue as to why you would be reading my blog but I guess I'm happy just having people read this (because if people read this I must be somewhat interesting). A little about my self: I'm a senior at Barrington High School, I play the piano and guitar and I love writing and playing music. I think music is the best communicator and wish there was far more funding for it at public schools. I believe that every type of music has at least one good song, and that you should give all music a chance to prove its worth. Here are some of my favorite bands: red hot chilli peppers, modest mouse, sublime, bare naked ladies, weezer, Nervana, die tote hose, 3rd eye blind, The Beatles, cold play, radio head, Jimmy Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane, The Monkees, Cream, Blue Oyster Cult, Procol Harum, Rise Against, Super Tramp, Eric Clapton,Muse, 9 inch nails, Jack Johnson, Django Reinhardt, Linkin Park, The Fray, Basshunter, Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac,Blind Faith, Canned Heat, Charlie Parker, Drop Kick Murphys,Harvey Mandel, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Pearl Jam, Pink Floyd, Pure Food And Drug Act, Talking Heads, Flight of the Conchords, and many more Im just to lazy to list... Most of you are guessing that I want to major in music when I go to college, and your half right. I would love to be a professional musician, I want it more than anything else in the world right now. But I'm not an optimistic person, I know the chances of becoming a successful musician are slim to none. So my plan is to get a legal degree and minor in music theory. If music doesn't work out my hope is to become a corporate lawyer. I believe I would be good at that job because I enjoy reading contracts for some reason and I am a very particular person. I love cars, my current project is a 1988 Merkur, which I hope to have finished by the time I leave for college. I love the outdoors as well. I enjoy hiking and camping, having bond fires, and just being outdoors in general. I also believe that the National Parks need to be expanded greatly (yes I know how big they are, I have been to many of them) because once these natural wildernesses are gone they will never return to their previous beauty. I'm sure by now your sick of hearing my life story so I will leave you with a link to few videos of music I think is particularly funny and good... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGoi1MSGu64
