I was listening to the song by Justin Timberlake and I was thinking about many times when random hearing people would be surprised or shocked that I can actually enjoy musics because I am profoundly deaf guy with implants. I told them that I have implants which helps me to to enjoy the music. It's always funny when people would ask me if I can enjoy musics. Many deaf people don't need any assistance to enjoy music because they just need to feel the beats and vibrations.
I am kind of looking forward to hit the road on Monday because I can hook up my ipod to the car radio to keep myself entertained. I am moving back to Utah due to the unfortunate situation here in Rochester, New York. (Yes- I dropped out of the graduate program because of that too)

I'm sorry about you leaving the program. When one door closes another door opens - always new opportunities.
Music is my lifeline. I went 20 years without music as my hearing came to the point of it sounding like noise. With my cochlear implants, I get the joy of listening again. My lastest enjoyment is "In the air tonight" by Phil Collins.
My son is profoundly Deaf and has some hearing with his hearing aids... people are always shocked when I tell them he enjoys music..."But you said he's Deaf!"...
