You entries fascinate me, I'm not sure that you will ever read this but nevertheless this is something that is on my mind.
"Without music, life would be a mistake."
This was your first ever blog. The quote is by Friedrich Nietzsche, a Christian who never shunned the views of the Atheist. As a Christian I do not always completely agree with Nietzsche's views, but it does not change the fact that they are unique and groundbreaking.
Nietzsche was someone who dared to take his own path in life and share beliefs that he knew would be ridiculed and criticized by the closed minded. Nietzsche was never one to imitate, but he will always be imitated and admired. Sadly, Nietzsche (among many other amazing philosophers) ended his life in insanity. I remember reading about an event where he tried to protect a horse getting whipped by wrapping his arms around its neck.
Also, I noticed you did not place the entire quote in your title "Without music, life would be a mistake...I would only believe in a God who knew how to dance."
I personally believe that Nietzsche's God did not know how to dance seeing as shortly after hes renowned quote "God is dead" surfaced.
Nietzsche was an amazing philosopher and today I still try and interpret his words that lay on the edges of Christianity and sanity.

I haven't heard of him/her but they sound very god. How did you come across them?

Dear Chris,
It is a great compliment to see that my entries fascinate you. As you can see, I have managed to read your response.
Overall, what you said was very true and to some extent, I do agree.
However, I can't help but question your determination in trying to interpret the words of Nietzsche. Are you looking for answers, or do you simply feel the need to interpret philosophers?
Perhaps some have also misinterpreted my first ever blog entry.
Frankly, I did not come upon blogspot in my free will.. however my choice to now stay is.
My first blog does not determine much of anything, it was merely a very small part of me that I decided to whip out, rather than say, my love for paintings.
"Without music, life would be a mistake...I would only believe in a God who knew how to dance."
I purely only placed “Without music, life would be a mistake” as my blog title because the topic arose at the same time, and it’s one of the many quotes which intrigues me a lot. The continuation/ending of that entire quote however, sparks no interest in me whatsoever. I do not believe it, therefore, I do not relate.
Wrapping up, thanks for reading Chris. It has also been a pleasure reading the sparkling pieces of art you teenagers write about.
(: God bless.
Cool she commented!
