Was it destiny to break my hand? Or free will?
Right now I have a splint on my right hand because we recently had a basketball tournament in Corpus Christi, in the second game I was playing defense and I got my pinky wrapped up in a jersey and it got jammed back and yanked out sideways! Causing be to have a Boxers Fracture in my 5th metacarpal and up in to my knuckle slightly. We were originally suppose to go up to Arlington to play but due to weather we pulled out for safety reasons. At about 10 o'clock the Wednesday night my coach text me saying "pack your bags we are leaving for corpus tomorrow morning." That's were I ask my self was it destiny for me to break my hand or was it free will and we just happen to choose to go to the tournament and it happen to get broken? The answer will never be known but I often think about it and try to find any evidence or anything that would help answer that question. At times I want to say it was destiny because we just had to squeeze in that tournament hours before going. A team dropped and we filled in! But I also want to say free will because if I hadn't have gone which I didn't want to go would I have been in a situation for it to even happen.

HEY BUFFALO BILL!!!
HEY BUFFALO BILL WHAT DID YOU KILL!! Haha that song was so catchy. By far my favorite song on the white album just because it was so catchy and as I was listening to it I could like imagine a whole story/picture in my head! I also think I liked the song because I like buffaloes and hearing it over and over again just made me what to lean from side to side smile and sing along! We rest of the album as been pretty good so far, not every far in to it but it is pretty good! There are a lot of different feeling and styles to it some are up beat and obviouse what they are talking about and some are more deep thinking, calm, and slow songs! But I have noticed in those songs as it goes on they explain more and more into it and it's like they are constantly giving you little hints as the song goes on to see if you can figure out what they are talking about!!

Jimmy Hendrix
I really enjoyed listening to Jimmy Hendrix today. His music had such a nice flow and rhythm to it. Some songs where even soothing especially because of how tired I was! He is a amazing guitarist! When he was playing he would do so much at once it appeared that more than one person was playing! And what I have heard is some people like his voice and some don't but I think it was actually good! It could take many forms it could be deep, calm, and soothing in the appropriate song. But in up beat songs he could sound very energetic, loud, and excited! I would totally say that I overall enjoyed the album very much! It was a good change of pace from say the Beatles.

It Might Get Loud
Watching the movie It Might Get Loud was quite interesting! Because it compares the three different artist in more then just who's better. It talks about their childhoods, family's, life style growing up, and how they grew to love music! All three of them had different styles and ways they played the instrument. One of them was more of a punk rock musician, one was kind of bluesy, and the other was what I would think of as a true electrical guitarist style. The things they had in common growing up was they all loved what they did! They all had the passion to be great and the best at what they did!! I think it was interesting watching them all interact because they each brought there own little something something to the table. A littl but bit hear and their that one had and the other two didn't that they would share with each other! That was really interesting.
Thanksgiving Break
Thanksgiving Break is always a extremely fun time of the year! It's kind of like a appetizer for Christmas/Winter break! Usually I stay around at home for the holidays but this Thanksgiving since my brother is up at the Air Force Academy playing basketball he does not have a Thanksgiving Break, so my family, my best friend, his mom, and my girlfriend are going to to Colorado Springs for the break to spend it up there. I am so excited to go up there because my brother is my best fiend!!! We are so close nothing can separate up! I would do anything for him and he would do anything for me. Although I am extremely excited to go up there I am also kind of nervous because I think it is extremely cold down here in Austin Texas so I can only imagine it is going to be absolutely freezing up there! But my excitement to see my brother and watch him play totally out ways the fact that I don't like the cold and it's going to be freezing!

Concerts
I personally have never been to a concert or live show. I have always listened to music that I have on my phone or iPod back in the day but I have never had the desire to go to a live performance. I think the reason why I have never really wanted to is because I do not like large crowds of people all bunched up together going crazy. When I am being pushed about and jumped against with people yelling and all that it just makes me want to hit someone!! It's different if I am playing in a sporting event and there are lots of people going crazy, I don't mind it because it's cool to hear them screaming and going crazy because I'm not apart about it. It's kind of for me if I am playing in the sporting event! I will say if I had to go to a performance I would choose a arena setting so I wouldn't be pushed all over and I'm not super close to the speakers! So it's more of a true spectator experience then just going crazy and being pushed and yelled right next to.

Mix Up
Today was a nice mix up! We listened to a lot of different music. Instead of just listening to like one album or one group of singers we listened to a large variety! We listen to some Beatles and even some rap that was a cover of a song we listened to. Not quite sure what the name of the rap song was but it had a great beat to it. Also we watched a video cause I think rap battles of history haha that was so funny it was between Picasso and some other guy but it was funny! I have heard that a really funny one is between Einstein vs. Steven Hawking! I ask my friend why it was so funny and he said because of Steven Hawkins voice! Because it sounds Like auto tune. I personally think it is funny because they are two geniuses trying to diss each other by rapping. If you haven't seen it I would strongly suggest it to you to watch.
