What doesn't kill you...
One thing that music does for me is that it gets me thinking. I'm 300 percent more creative when the music something familiar and loud. And for those who know me, that's saying something.
So this morning I opened the country music folder on my computer and told it to play at random. I haven't listened to country for awhile because in general, my guests are not very country oriented. They prefer something more pop or classic rock. I can generally please most of them with new age and classical. Smart group generally.
But today, I've listened to a good deal of my country. I have nearly three solid days worth of the stuff. Something that I like about country is that you can understand the words, and most of it is about people, and most of it is upbeat. At least the stuff I like is.
Upbeat is kinda important right now, because I'm in a kinda dark place right now. Alot of stuff is coming together and none of it is good. Depression is a spiral and I'm in the pull. I'm doing my best to swim out, but let me tell you something, it's not looking good.
The main way to avoid crashing is to divert the things that bearing down on you. So I'm bailing the boat at the speed of light. I just hope that I can keep it buoyant long enough to weather this storm.
You know, I didn't used to be a music person, but that Ipod really changed that. It had kept this depression at bay all summer. That bag being stolen last week really has screwed me over in the depression department. What am I going to do?
In some ways, it's a good thing that the damn thing was stolen. I've always done my best not to get addicted to things. so here I am, having withdraws from an electronic device. Bloody hell.
Ok, that's not fair. I'm putting all my worries and doubt in one basket. Well, hopefully those jerks will come along and steal that too.
