There are many personality traits a person needs to be elected president. And even if one person has all of them, they still might not be elected for a very bad reason. Because of today's media saturated society, people care too much about appearance. Therefor they will literally not vote for someone just because of their appearance or voice, and the decision could be sub-consciously made.
I would never vote for somebody because of their appearance or voice, I would base my decision on their personality and ability to make the right decisions.

Downloading Music
I admit that I have always downloaded my music from the internet for free. But when ever a new CD comes out from a band that I really like I go and buy it. The artists deserve the ten bucks for a CD, its not that bad. Actually in the last year I really haven't downloaded any music illegally, and I don't really plan to. I get all of my music from my friends now, I guess that's illegal, come arrest me then.

Me and Music
I remember when I was in elementary school, my best friend was black so I always listened to rap with him. And my dad listened to classic rock so I was always listening to that with him, and that was pretty much all I listened to as a child. I never really explored music to find what I was really interested in and liked. Middle school started the journey for me.
When I was in sixth grade I got my first guitar, that started a whole new era for me. I started playing guitar everyday, and listening to Metallica and Pantera. I was really into metal guitar and I was completely absorbed into it, it was all I cared about. At this point in my life I didn't listen to anything besides metal and rock and roll. I wouldn't have been caught dead listening to hip hop at this point.
When I hit high school I started getting into all kinds of things, influenced by the people I hung out with and the places I went. I started going to concerts with my friends, and playing in bands with people I knew that played anything really. I also got back into rap a lot, I was introduced to a lot of good rappers by my friends such as Immortal Technique, Lil Weezy, and The Roots. I also had the opportunity to go to a rave which got me into techno big time. I really remember liking techno a lot my first and second year of high school.
Over the whole time I was interested in music I really never liked most mainstream radio bands. I never have listened to the radio to find new bands to listen to. I also despise MTV with a passion. I think it has done horrible unchangeable damage to the minds of innocent naive people that know nothing about music. And I never really payed attention to when the music I listened to was from, I listened to music from all different time era's.
Looking back to my past interests in music makes me look to the future because I am excited to see what I will get into and what music will come out. I am myself an aspiring artist, I play the guitar and would like to go Mcnally Smith college of music for producing/recording/touring. Maybe someday you will hear my music on the radio or see a commercial for my album.
