Blogging Around numero dos!

I picked Roman's imedia blog as my first comment. When I heard the song and watched the video...I couldn't help but show it to my parents and listen to it over and over and over. It struck an emotional chord for me, so I just had to comment:

Roman, this is the prettiest song I've heard in a while, that was written in the past few years. I can't stop listening. I just close my eyes and listen to the music; GREAT choice!

Other than the music choice, what you said about religions really struck a chord even though you only wrote a sentence about it. This past summer I learned to put aside every bias and open my heart and mind to the people around me. I got to hear stories from Palestinians, Israelis and Americans about their lives and religions. They weren't just news paper articles and news stories anymore, they were faces. Mostly two different sides creating one big experience and friendship. When I close my eyes and listen, I see the two sides becoming one again like what happened this summer. I know this song helps me rememeber that we can all coexist!

Next, I chose Vicki's dream blog entry because I realized that something we don't normally think about other than a funny story to tell our friends can really help us understand more about ourselves:

YAY finally something to explain my crazy dreams. I've come to realize, as well as you Vicki, that dreams aren't my form of entertainment when I'm sleeping, but a way for me to decipher my life and still get some rest. I think I've gotten more finished in my sleep about my social and family life than I do when I'm awake. Like you said, part of your dreams is your subconcious. I know when I feel bad about something, I dream about something not too wonderful. When I'm happy, I dream happy, and the same for every other emotion. Dreams are like your thoughts in your head when you're awake, except it's like a little play. Good job, Vicki. It's good to know that there are more ways for me to look at my dreams!
