Thankful for....

I'm thankful for music. Anytime I listen to music I feel better. When lyrics seem like there made for me at the moment it makes me feel respected. I know someone out there feels the same way I do. Someone writers don't know but they save my life everyday. I mean days when I don't feel like getting out of bed I turn on some music and feel much better.  So when lyrics seem like they were made just for me I it makes my day much better.

the positive effect/ impact cnn have on us was the news being broad casted 24 hours. This was positive because we need to know what's going around the world. Yes, we have other news channels; but the fact that we have news for 24 hours has change Philadelphia and other places around world dramatically. After people scoffed Ted Tuners idea they felt bad because the Gulf War had a negative effect on us. This meant we needed this innovation. The fact that people need news is one thing, but to have news.
