Music

Some people say that you should bring pictures and posters here to make your home feel more like your real home. I'm sure that helps, but the music I have on my computer and ipod keep me comfortable and remind me of things that pictures could never do. Maybe I'm just wired that way, but music has an unbelievable way of capturing a moment, person, or general time in my life down to the most minute details. Don't get me wrong, I love pictures, but I rarely find a picture that reminds me of a time that I wasn't either partying, traveling, or at some significant event that isn't easily forgotten anyway. Maybe I just don't take enough photos. Music, though, has a way of bringing back memories that have been tucked way back in my brain that would not have been sparked any other way. There are some songs that I absolutely hate, but will listen to anyway because they bring back a fond memory. So when I listen to my ipod on shuffle mode, I don't know what sort of weird or precious memories will come about. It's always something new.

While I've been enjoying reminiscing through the past with my music, I have also stumbled upon some stuff that is just plain annoying. For the past three days, I have not been able to get Duran Duran's "The Reflex" out of my head. I feel like I've been put through some freaky Korean torture chamber with no way of getting out. As I write this, Simon Lebon is serenading me in my head. Just when I feel like I've escaped this 80's pop hit, it comes right back louder and more intense than before. The only thing this song reminds me of is that I haven't been able to escape it for the past three days. And it keeps reminding me, over and over and over.... If anyone's out there, please give me something else. Anything else.

On my last blog, two people decided to post some comments. While I welcome any sort of constructive criticism, compliment, or even a note of pure hatred and jealousy towards my brilliant writing style, I do not welcome ass holes trying to advertise in this space. I'm sure those who posted ways to get zero interest loans or get involved in some sort of pyramid scheme haven't even taken the time to read a word I've written. On the off chance they visit again, consider this a great big PISS OFF!!!
