If I tried to explain indepth how badly i'm infatuated with these jewelry masterpieces, I'd pass out from exhaustion. or explode.

you can make damn sure that once I complete a PMC class I will be all over this concept for myself. seeing as how i do not have $300 to spend on these

A forever lost music industry.

So- being the avid XM radio listener that I am .. I was in my car listening to 80s on 8, when at the end of Whitney Houston's "I Want to Dance With Somebody" the stations DJ chimed in discussing a topic I think about.... guess-timation... like 4 times daily: Technology is ruining a lot about life today... and... music.
Bon jovi recently declared his opinion on this exact topic. Blaming Steve Jobs for ruining the music industry.
I don't feel totally qualified to point my ridiculing finger at Jobs right now.. but I do 100% agree with the said fact of technology ruining the experience that music brigns to everyone individually.
Kids no longer flock to record and CD stores with their allowance, or job money, put on their headphones and get totally lost in an album. I remember going to the music stores and getting CDs I'd been dying for (even tapes when I was much younger). I would collect all the cd cases because each one had a personality individual to the artist. I loved flipping through the album art.. reading the lyrics along with the songs.. even reading the artists Thank You section. It for me was a big part of growing up eventhough the trips to the music stores drastically declined in following years for everyone. It was all about downloading. Napster, Limewire, Torrents, iTunes... and it still is! Infact, you can hardly rind music stores anymore. They are around, but you wont be walking into anything quite like the movie Empire Records ever again. I hate that. Yes I do download. But do I have many other options?!
I'm one who thrives in nostalgia and what music used to be. Im very much in love with my record player and I enjoy going out and sifting through old and used, and sometimes new records anywhere vinyl is sold. I want to be attached to what it once was.

Even television. Does anyone have an explanation for Mtv? MUSIC TELEVISION. do they play music anymore? or just teen mom... jersey shore.... and other programs that succsefully consume so many people and rott their brains. and you can't tell me that the song "SHOTS!" will ever be compared to,or live up to the musicians of our past (and present, but they definitely dont get the spot light and recognition like in the past) Who were famed for the passion, creativity, soul and mind put into songs.
Technology killed the radio star.
MTV killed the video star.

i erge people to remember how much more pleasing life is when you go out and DO things. outside. inside. work, play, draw, eat, talk with one another face to face, stay involved with your hobbies and what makes you, you.

Im willing to bet soo many people that I know... if they were to stop.... get off facebook, twitter, tumblr... whatever the hell that is... they would be saddened when they realize.... Iv stopped doing things I enjoy because Im consumed with technology. Im fat because i sit infront of my technology all day. I don't have love because my relationships are supported by the internet.

anyway im getting off onto a whole other rant..
