Play a Musical Instrument

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Hello My Friends,

I want to talk about musical instruments. There are two kinds, rythmic: drums, congas, percussion, and more, and melody: piano, guitar, horns, and more. Music is the only art you can hear and see. Music has been around as long as humans have lived. It has lead tribes and built relationships. It has been a lasting relationship to human communication.

Music can strengthen the soul and help dreams come true. It has a power no other creative force has. It will make you think, make you dance and help your mind understand what it has not been able to until you hear it. From Norwegian Wood to You Really Got Me, music has a wide range of feelings. If you are bold enough pick up an instrument and begin to play it. That takes guts, do it it can heal or mend your soul.

Rythmic instruments are a way to set the core of music. Melody instruments tell the story, they decide the tone of what you want to say. You must understand the difference of the instruments to understand.

Pick up an instrument yourself and understand what you want to do. Then take lessons from someone that does understand, and see if it fits you. I believe everyone should do this whether you want to make it a success or just understand the meaning of music. Think for yourself about this. It is a wonderful world, the world of music.

If it does fit your mind, study, study, study, and you will become proficient. The world is yours. Then write words or find a partner that can. Elton John writes the music, while Barry Taupin writes the words. They have been very successful. This is a creative way that has no rules, they change with the times. Be an innovator…! We need you.

Please play an instrument and widen your horizon and your mind, be the best you can!

Play an instrument…!

Addiction…

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Hello my friends,

I want to talk about addiction today. I do want all of you to know I am not a doctor, and my information comes from viewing it, trying to deal with it and needing answers for it!This is not an easy subject, and again I am not a doctor, though I am a viewer of this problem.

In my life, I have seen alot of addiction! I have seen it in food, hard drugs, soft drugs, prescription drugs, sex, relationships, power, love, and many more things! Yet no one wants to talk about the ones not illegal! Addiction is in all the arena’s of life, that I have seen. Most look at drugs, yet it is worse in other areas especially food, why is it worse? No one wants to see it, or think there is a problem, yet obesity is the number one health issue in America! The Chinese don’t have this problem, neither do the Japanese, neither do a number of other people. America does… Addiction to food. It’s our biggest problem!

Yet we seem to focus on cocaine, meth, heroin, pot (which, come on) . There are problems with these, yet, let’s please, look at the others also or we are hypocrites…!

Addiction in any form is a bad thing that needs to be addressed! Meth heads, and coke heads, junkies and food addicts, do steal for the habit. We need to build rehabilitation clinics for these, not prisons!

These are diseases, not criminal activity, although it can turn to that. The government needs to build these instead of a war on drugs we have never won in 25 years, No other war has gone on for 25 years! The same for obesity, and other addictions! It’s time to take a new look at this problem, for the old one doesn’t work anymore! I ask the families to be patient and help those in need and try to understand this disease, it is not easy, sometimes you must be hard, it needs to be done in certain times. We can only take so much. They will lie, cheat, steal, sell out their family and friend to get what they need. This is not right yet the disease calls them. Yet understand this is a disease… yet to be understood! Our kids and adults need help, let’s give it or try to understand. We have money for everything else, but not addiction. That’s their fault, they say—Not true!

The government must build facilities, besides jail for this disease…! Please. There is no easy answer for this. We must all pull together to understand and find an answer.

This is my opinion!

Sincerely,

Teddy Mueller  :0)

Snow Shoveling

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Hello My Friends,

It has been a crazy winter. Alot of shoveling is still needed. We here in Wisconsin are getting another 16″ today. I want to give you some tips to do it correctly.

Dress properly. Make sure you layer your clothing. Make sure you have the right shoes. If you can have skiing type clothing, and a good pair of boots, does help. A hood is alway’s good too. It keeps the snow away from your head and your face. The right clothing is very important. Think about it.

When shoveling always make sure you lift with your legs and not your back. Many back injuries occur from shoveling. Also make sure you breathe properly and make sure you don’t over do it. Many people have had heart attacks, and other problems from working to fast or to hard when shoveling. Take your time, Lift with your legs, dress properly, and pay attention to your breathing and how you feel.

Get the job done, yet be careful. Good Luck, this has been a crazy winter.
