Music of My Heart

Music makes my heart smile.

When I'm having a really crappy day, I like to watch either 1) a dance movie or 2) a musical. They just make me smile.

Watching Glee is like that for me. Once a week, I get to have my heart smile. It just really brings me joy.

I get to watch it with Melissa and sometimes Rebecca. It makes the Glee watching even more awesome when I get to watch it with them.

I get some crap from people about G5.1, but the fact of the matter is that its about more than just rapping. Music is bringing me and Seb closer. It's giving us the opportunity to spend time together. In a year, we will be in different places. I will be in Nashville, and he will be away at college elsewhere. This is about so much more than spitting rhymes.

Music is in my blood. I think I get that from the Day side of the family. Both my Grandma Opal and my Pappaw Joe were musicians. Pappaw has the Johnny Cash sound, and has lived a life similar to that of Johnny's. Grandma and her sisters, and I think her brother, were in a singing group when they were younger. I guess they sang on the radio and had an album. Grandma's music was mostly country. Pappaw's was bluegrass and Johnny. So where my love for hip hop came from, I have no idea.

My uncle has composed several classical pieces. I don't say that to brag on him. It's just fact.

My mother was the lead singer for a band when she was younger. I think it was mostly country. And my father was a DJ for a long time. So....I don't know where the love of hip hop came from.

I'm just saying.....Music is in my blood.
