thank goodness

Thanks to Sasha my health and fitness section of my site is finally up and running again. She suggested that I look in google’s cache, and what do you know? It worked! The only pages I have to work on are the food pages and my personal page which I can do later on. I’m so happy that my work was saved and I have my section back. It was my baby. =]

My cousin Dawn bought me the “Across The Universe” soundtrack for Easter and I’m so excited. The movie was beautifully done, and the music was composed perfectly in my opinion. The order of the songs, the cinematic accompaniment, the images, everything was amazing. She was telling me how her kids love listening to the music and her daughter, Abby, is in love with “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.”

When I have children I want to introduce them to classic music like she has done and like my parents have done for me. Music is a beautiful tool, and without music our world would be silent and sad. Growing up listening to the oldies station and watching Queen on MTV with my Dad are some of the most amazing memories. I can still remember him telling me, “That’s Freddy Mercury, one of the best. Sing it Freddy!” I’m proud to say that the first music video I’ve watched was “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

I’m not going to say that music now isn’t good. I enjoy a lot of music that gets played on our pop airwaves, as well as a lot of music from the 90s, but I think it’s important to let your children know where music came from. Hearing a friend say, “The Big Bopper? This is crap” makes me sad. I wouldn’t be surprised if in the future you’ll see me walking around pregnant with headphones around my belly playing the music my parents first introduced me to.

    Glad that you’ve got some of your pages back :D

    When I have kids, I’m going to do the exactly the same thing. Although new music is good, I think that listening to older music helps us learn more :) Also gives us more of a variety!

    I once read somewhere that listening to classical music while you’re pregnant, and when the baby is very young, makes them more clever, dunno if it’s true though :P

    I’m glad you got it back. At least you won’t have to worry about writing it all over. I haven’t seen or heard the soundtrack for Across The Universe. Everyone keeps telling me how beautiful both are but I haven’t had the time.

    I love classic music as well. As a kid my parents introduced me to music from their time.

    I’m glad you got it back!! :) It is probably still in your database somewhere, but just isn’t getting found by the code for some reason. I can’t imagine upgrading WordPress could cause data to be deleted,but who knows, computer can do stupid things sometimes.

    Your lucky that your parents introduced you to great music :)

    I grew up on oldies, and I thank my parents for that. As a matter of fact, oldies was the only type of music I use to listen to up until the age of 11.

  7. I’m usually not a fan of movie musicals, but Across the Universe was the only one that I semi-enjoyed. I absolutely hate when they take an amazing stage production (example: Sweeney Todd) and make it into a movie. Drives me crazy.

    Gotta love it when you are able to retrieve something that you thought wasn’t possible, or lost forever.

    I’m going to do the same thing when I have children, someday. :)

    I opine that to get the lowest-rate-loans.com from banks you should have a great reason. However, one time I’ve got a college loan, because I was willing to buy a car.
