Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Feeling lost: 4 of 720
Disjointed HarmonyWet fire, flaming rain,thoughts to drive a girl insane.Fragile rocks fall from the sky,landing with a mighty cry.Silent noise creeps in the night,an evil plan to make things right.Black sunlight slams the day,a body broken, a heart afraid.Simple chaos all around,search for sanity, can't be found.Take me back...

Entertainment > Music (Other) The importance of music in our lives: 5 of 108
Music is timeless. It will never die no matter how high tech our world gets. No matter how bad the sound quality might be on an mp3, music will still exist and continue to evolve. New artists will continue to make music and artists of the past will continue to be passed on from generation to generation.Music is memory. It is ... More..
Entertainment > Musicians & Bands What is your favorite band and why?: 15 of 219
I love music beyond comprehension. I would go as far as to say that music has saved my life in many ways and kept me from going crazy. I am always finding new music; therefore my favorite bands are ever-changing. However my top five usually remain pretty constant. A lot of people I know don't have just one all time favorite b...

Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Are aging rock superstars like Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones timeless or too old to perform on stage anymore?: 13 of 150
Let's face it, when musicians become legends like Paul McCartney or The Rolling Stones; they are NEVER too old to rock. For fans like me, who are only in their mid-20's it is the only opportunity we have to see these superstars in concert.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Nature: 79 of 633
Lilacs boiled in the summer heat,as steam rises in the hot damp air.The sun glares on every living being,scorching the very ground;wind stops before it starts.Nothing moves in the fire of the day,the only way to keep cool.The sun screams at the earthas it makes its daily descent;darkness slowly steals the day.The moon melts t...

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: The unconditional love between dogs and humans: 7 of 55
Having a dog increases your lifespan. I don't know where I heard that but I believe it. They add the spark that normal mundane life sometimes needs. They are your constant companion, best friend, and a form of comfort when you need it. They provide you with humorous discussion topics, stories about their ridiculous behavior, ... More..
Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes The 80s are still alive: 1 of 7
I was born in 1983 so even though I am technically an 80's child, most of the decade for me, was quite the blur. However, I have three older sisters who were much involved in the trends and styles that made up the decade and it definitely rubbed off on me. Saying that the 80's are alive and well is an understatement. Not only... More..
Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes Best rock song ever...: 6 of 38
How can I even begin to pick a greatest rock song of all time? It's a ridiculous concept. Obviously I'm going to pick a song that I enjoy despite what the popular opinion might be. Rock music is all a matter of perception. What totally defines rock music for me probably won't do it for someone else. I also like a variety of d... More..

Today is the day when it all ends,so part of me can start to mend.Frustrations build, stress surrounds,pulsating head pain a constant pound.When will I finally be freewhen will this job stop torturing me?An endless week entirely too long,an incessant feeling that I don't belong.I just wait for that blessed light,to take me aw...
