I am so done with music
Lately have have been thinking that I am so done with music. (at least for the time being)
I mean, I was never really a music person, I would just listen to what my friends listened to anyway.
Luckily I know people with good taste in music.
I don't define who I am by the music I listen too. I see that as such an adolescent way for people to divide themselves up.
Of course this is different if you make music yourself. Which I do not. I played the trombone for several years as a kid. But I was never any good at it. And you don't even want to hear me sing.
I do like to play my recorder... But only sometimes, and mostly just Christmas music. I really like lame holiday music.
Lately I have found myself becoming more and more disinterested in music. I find that it just rattles around in my head, and muddies up my thoughts.
I've always needed to turn music off to write papers or assignments. Or to do math, I can't do math with music playing in the background.
It's not that I don't like music, it's more like I feel indifferent toward music. Not any music in particular, but ALL MUSIC. The only person that I have ever known that isn't into music is Nathan, and he REALLY ISN'T INTO MUSIC.
I rarely even turn music on anymore. If Justin doesn't put something on I won't even bother. And if I am alone, I just like it to be quiet. Not that it is ever really quiet. I mean I live in the city, and I find that I like the noises of the city BETTER than music.
I prefer I listen to talk radio. Or books on tape. Or turn the tv on in the next room, as a random background noise.
When I drove to the post office today, the first thing I did was turn off the radio.
Yes, I think I am done with music. Probably not for good, but for the time being.
I need a hiatus from excess sound. (or maybe I need a xylophone, I've always wanted a xylophone)
