i took today off of work which was really nice to not have to get up at 5 like usual..so i slept in till around 11:30 then went to church at 12 and deacon morici was there today so thats always good to see him. Then we went to lunch and came home and i did a bunch of yardwork with my dad (which is always a blast). Later on i went to CL and we had a kinda cool speaker..
my ears finally feel just about right again. Back on the day of the senior bbq when i had my car pulled up and the music turned up loud, i was kinda desensitized to the level of the music cause i was standing right by the car, so when i got in the car it was really really loud..prolly like 125 dB and i had it on that for a min or two and then later on that day my ears just felt kinda screwed up..like i couldnt perceive sounds from different directions without it seeming weird..its hard to explain..but then the next two days my ears just felt like they were continuously plugged and i couldnt really do anything about it..but they finally feel about 100% again so i'm happy
i do listen to loud music a lot, but i'm not dumb enough to listen to it at 125 dB or whatever, i try and be careful for the most part cause i dont want to end up having my hearing go around 40ish..cause the way i think about it is that i want to be able to be the best i can for my kids someday..and i dont want my choices from these years in my life to effect how efficiently i can converse with my children..i know it may sound kinda dumb, but we all know how frustrating it can be to have to repeat things to someone time after time, it can sometimes make you feel like the person just isnt listening to you..so yea..i dont want my kids to ever think that about me..
i just forgot it was that loud once again cause i was kinda desensitized from being up close already..and once you actually get in the car and shut the doors all that sound that was being projected before is in my small little escorts interior..haha..around 2000 watts of power..i measured just the bass in my car with mrs northerners dB meter and i hit about 120 dB..which is 10 times more intense than a rock concert..haha so i'll just have to be careful with that :-D
ONE FINAL LEFT..i just have to study tomorrow for physics and then i'll be DONE..hurray..i'm done rambling for today
