“if you got the wave i got the tsunami”
Sam is 17 years old and lives in Santa Barbara, California. When I think of Sam I think of him wandering the world with his headphones on. He always is listening to some type of music and is humming some type of melody. Since Sam has let music overtake so much of his life recently, I have been very curious about how this affects him as a person. Does he use music as an escape? Is he secretly a musical genius? I have no clue. Although Sam and I are close friends, I’ve never really figured this out. I finally decided to get to the bottom of this…which is what I will be doing today.
