i get paid to fuck around and listen to music

so, this job is as boring as can be. i'm waiting for an email from the government, so i continue in my mission to see the end of the internet. today, i've been reading my old blog, form a couple years ago. getting a helluva laugh. specifically when i posted the chat log with emily on the blog and people commented on it. i might put that up here for shits and giggles sooner or later. here is a jewel i found that still applies to all things in my life, so i wanted to discuss it again, and update it some. its about music, which, at this new job, has been a life saver/time killer. i've always said music is the soundtrack to my life. never before has it been more apparent than with the development of the website, pandora.com... i love this website. i've finally listened to this station long enough and given it enough feedback that it pretty much plays music i really like.

music is the soundtrack to life. why do you think people play music when they have sex? well, besides having it playing to cover up the oohs and ahhs so your roommates, dormmates, guy in the next room at the fraternity house, people in the library, etc dont hear. but really, you play music so when you hear that song at a later time it reminds you of that enjoyable time. i just heard a song i haven't heard in years. i was instantly taken back to junior year of high school while on the bus to a soccer game. one of the best times ever. unfortunately, it works in opposite ways as well. someone dies, you get dumped, you fail a test, etc etc. the song you first hear playing can instantly remind you of that terrible time. you win some, you lose some, i say. fortunately for me, my life has many more good moments than bad, and the bad ones i'm over now. i wouldn't be the person i am today without all the experiences i've had in the past. i'm glad music was there for those experiences to remind me of times long past. that way, i dont forget, and let history repeat itself. wouldn't want that. i love music.
