Music lifts me up, oils the gears of my creativity. No matter how I may feel, music will release the words within me, so that I may let them grace the monitor. Or paper. Or whatever happens to be handy.

I don’t know how music is with anyone else, but there is a raw power to it; a potent mixture of sound and thought and poetry. Music preference is highly personal; I prefer a little bit of everything. I like Disturbed, but I also like Bluegrass. I love music that is angry, sad, depressing…. every emotion under and over the sun.

My favorite music is whatever speaks to my soul and what I can relate to.

It keeps me on track at work, I have been known to drown in the music, becoming one with my work…to the point where work is all I can see. It helps me harness into enery to work out. There is nothing better than listening to Korn or Tom Petty as I kick the treadmill’s hiney.

I love music. It improves my life in so many ways.

I love music almost as much as writing. Both are in my blood, my mind, my soul.

That might be the Irish in me!
