I Feel Like I'm Always Talking in Newspeak

So, this is kind of odd to post, but I'm going to do it anyways. With the upcoming talent show and my upcoming music scholarship auditions I have been spending a lot of time in music. I'm searching for a song/solo/etude with a MOMENT. Those of you who are musicians know what I'm talking about, possibly those of you who aren't know as well. There are no words for it, the only way I can describe it is that your hair stands on end and you feel as if you are floating, like if the ceiling wasn't there to stop you you could just keep going and going and going into the heavens. The problem is that in order to find a song like this it requires a lot of looking.

But now to the part of this post that ties to college english. Newspeak is used to limit the range of thought by eliminating words. By making them inexpressible the party is making them unthinkable. I feel like the current english language has a lot of those same qualities. Words seem so limited. There is no way to express many of the things that come into our lives. That's why we have music. In music you can express those things that are lost to all words. The colors created in music form words that are so raw. I believe it is the most effective medium of speech.

I feel trapped with words, with how much I talk you wouldn't think that I bet haha. English is duckspeak to me

well...

so today i sat in the back. the row of shame i think it's called? and i think i finally decided what i'm gonna do. i'm just gonna do a powerpoint i guess. kinda lame...i wanna do something really cool. but i can't think of anything..so powerpoint it is.

I forget...

I forgot what we were supposed to blog... Stariha said it a while ago and now I can't remember. All that I know is that I am enjoying doing the work that I am.. (which is good) but I do have a lot on my plate right now. Between School, College, and College English (which is a whole different category from College and School FYI) I'm just sorta stressed out... a lot. :(
