It's kind of funny how music can evoke so many different memories and emotions. For instance, when you hear Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You", you may suddenly be reminded of a long lost lover that got away. Or when you hear virtually any Boyz II Men song, you may be brought back to a time where you can literally feel the sweet supple touch of soft lips as your entire body reaches its quintessence of arousal created by that first kiss.
As for me, well lets face it, I'm a nerd. And so it's only fitting that it is nerdy music that evokes memories and emotions in me. Case in point, John Williams' "Battle of Endor." There are many feelings that emerge when listening to this classic piece. First off, it's an epic score that encompasses the true essence of Star Wars and its battle between good and evil. Located at the climax of the ultimate saga known to man, the Battle of Endor delivers on multiple levels. There are parts that seems almost patriotic, as the tones and transitions prepares you and makes you feel as if you're a rebel fighter attacking the mighty Deathstar. No other score conveys surprise after surprise let engulfs you until you can actually feel the sense the complete bewilderment of Home One as Admiral Ackbar yells "It's a trap!" What other music gives you the proud sense of victory in overcoming the odds and taking down the might Super Star Destroyer, despite its intensified forward fire power. However, I think the emotions that the Battle of Endor best discloses are struggle, pain, and loss. My heart can't help but ache every time I see the unnamed Ewok fall victim to a well placed laser blast. And to make it even worse, you must endure watching his furry lil buddy get his heart broken as he realizes that his companion is not moving because he is sleeping...for eternity. So the next time you see me in the lab, and out of no where you see a single tear, it's because of John Williams and his astute ability to make music that allows me to relive the loss of the unnamed Ewok for as many times as I can hit the back button on my iPod.
Here's to you lil buddy.
It's a trap!!

this is the most ridiculous blog I have ever seen. I will most likely than not stop reading blogs for my entire life because this blog just ruined my experience of going online.
you should be ashamed of yourself for posting up such garbage. you should call your uwp professor and apologize for defacing the English language with this rubbish you call a blog.
You should apologize to the entire internet for your stupidity, douchebag.
I would like to thank you for ceasing to post another atrociously composed blog entry. Please continue to exercise your freedom of speech, or lack thereof for that matter. While you're free, have a gander at a real blog: everythingyoulovetohate.blogspot.com. In addition, if you're going to call me names, please don't hold back on originality, you sound like you just graduated from junior high who acted too hastily to ask out a girl you awkwardly had a crush on until that point you never made a move. - Bounty
You call that a real blog? Pathetic. You should put your money where your mouth is and actually start a blog instead of trolling random ones. If you don't like what I post, then leave. It's as simple as that.

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
I see you still don't have the courage to create your own blog, rather you have to live vicariously through others.
