The world trough my eyes
What's up readers? I created this blog just to put some of my views out there and hopefully keep you entertained, while you are pretending to be working. It's OK, we all know an eight hour day can be pretty boring.

Great Driver
A great driver has to simply obey some common sense rules in order to be a civilized member of the public traffic system. DO NOT text while driving or eat a burger while trying to adjust your rear view mirror. Some of us seem to have the driving game figured out and know their limits. I'm not saying that everyone out there is capable of texting and driving while being save, but some just have that magical ability. I say why even try, stay safe!

Music, why do we like it?
Why do we like music so much?
Music plays a big role in everybody's life!
If that's not the case, then you should stop reading this and continue poking your nose, hoping to hit on a big one and brake your previous record.
Back to subject; So why do we love music so much?
The answer to this is my personal theory and it's the most logical one I could think of!
Ever since an apelike creature started evolving into, what now days is considered the modern human, its main priority was survival. At one point the evolving human discovered that in order to survive better, a form of communication had to be present while hunting.
Since the brain did not evolve enough to produce a language, it came up with other forms of communicating.
Hitting a bone against another hard object creates a loud sound that can travel a long distance, to be picked up by the human ear. Using that phenomena to communicate a message, must have come natural to the primitive human. In order to announce, or scare pray in a specific direction, or to scare predators, or warn others of their presence. And there you got it, the birth of a "beat" as a survival tool.
Of course trough experimenting, which is just part of our nature, the human being discovered that banging different objects against each other produced a variety of sounds. Over time we learned that certain objects made even more complicated sounds, when manipulated in ways that cause vibrations, like a rope made out of plants or animal parts. That physical characteristic must have been so fascinating to the primitive human that it quickly turned into a form of entertainment, and grew to be part of culture. And there you got the birth of primitive instruments.
Trough further experimentation it was discovered that certain instruments produced harmonious sounds when played with others.
From here you can start up your imaginative engine, hidden underneath your scull,
and just picture the rest.
My most logical explanation on the evolution of music and why we like it!
It goes hand in hand with our survival!
