languages, Sweden, and music

I love languages and I very much enjoy learning about them and their evolution. But I also think it is one of the worst punishments G-d ever inflicted on man. Think of how great it would be if we all spoke the same language. Then again, languages and diversity are two beautiful things. You decide.

I started thinking abut this tonight after watching an interview of Tim Berling aka Avicii:



I saw this and the light bulb finally went on. "Why do so many good music producers come out of Sweden?" Because it's cold and there's nothing to do!! Why not produce and dj instead? You can make it out of Sweden and travel the world. Is this why they are so inspired to make great music...to get out of Sweden?

I feel like I need to go TO Sweden to get inspired and be thankful of how great LA and the US is with regard to the rest of the world. I know a place like Sweden has its advantages also. There is beauty in everything, but if I got there, I would have to learn Swedish, which is doable for me I think because I like learning languages. But why can't we all just speak the same language?!

And I also thought: Avicii is 21. This kid is killing it. Why did I even bother with college? This is a question I actually have a response for, but that is for another time.


nothing but love for you
