The seven deadly sins...

Today's blog is about the seven deadly sins (gluttony, greed, anger, sloth, vanity, lust, and envy). I don't know which one to write about. Hmm...maybe all of them...or at least as many asi can write about. First is gluttony. It's pretty much loving food. Food is really cool, so don't understand why you wouldn't love it. Eating is definitely very necessary to everyday life. Next is greed. Everyone is a little greedy. Some more than others. Greed is pretty bad. It's so difficult not to think about money before other things. Like when giving gifts, most people are persuaded to buy cheaper gifts. Now is anger. Who hasn't been angry at something? Of course everyone has. It's an emotion. You can't help when you become angry. Some people have a very short temper, and others are pretty good at keeping their cool. I'm probably closer to the keeping cool end of this, but it depends on the day, I guess. Next is sloth, but I think i'mgoing to have to be done blogging soon. So the comments I have on sloth, is that it's pretty easy to be lazy, I know I am...

Pink!

Today is another freestyle blog. I'm going to write about pink, because I am dressed in all pink...well, at least a lot of pink. Tonight's football game is the "pink out" so everyone will be wearing pink. This is to support breast cancer awareness. Pink is an okay color. I don't really like or dislike it. It's just ones of those colors. I don't really pay close attention to it. It's a color that is generally associated with females (that word choice made me sound kind of smart!). I personally think it's going to be pretty cool to see a lot of people in pink.

Euphonium, for the win.

The euphonium is an instrument, that no one seems to have heard of. Unless you are that amazing (or involved in music). It's my instrument. If you are unaware of what a euphonium is, it's kind of a mixture Between a tuba and a trombone (if it's a marching euphonium, it also mixes in a little trumpet). Often times the euphonium is mistaken for a baritone, because there is very little difference between them. A baritone does not have conical tubing, and a euphonium does. Conical tubing is when The tubing from the mouthpiece to the bell, the tubing gradually gets larger. So, in a baritone, the tubing is all the same size until the bell (where it must get larger). Someone with slight musical background might tell you that the difference between a baritone and a euphonium, is the fact that a baritone has three valves compared to a euphonium with four. That is incorrect. Baritones can have four valves, it's just more common for them to have three. I hope you feel more informed as to what a euphonium is. That would be the instrument that play, and it's not very common, which makes it 58times cooler.
