Not your typical Linkin Park/Green Day fan

Does our taste in music say anything about us? Is it incongruous that I am wearing a nice corporate suit today and have my Ipod tuned to Linkin Park? I don’t know. I guess we are all unique and this is one of the crazy little things about me, one of the better things about me.

Here are some of my favorite lines from LP songs

“every step that I take is another mistake to you”

“you live what you’ve learned”

“sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming”

“amen”

“your time is borrowed, your time has come to be replaced”

“let me apologize for what I’m about to say”

“the only thing that’s worse than one is none”

“if you’re asking me I want you to know, when my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done, help me leave behind some reasons to be missed”

I grew up learning to love music from a young age, but more than just hymns and classical. I learned to love and appreciate almost all music. To my parents, my music was just too loud and too objectionable I guess. I feel like this was a wedge between us. A part of my life they were not interested in, although it meant a lot to me. I guess it’s made me much more sensitive to how my own teens feel, and not just regarding music, but what they think about many things. I want to be able to relate, talk, share, and appreciate our differences. I think over the past years I’ve been able to do that for the most part.
