Of just being.
While I was scrolling through the "artists" tab of my mp3 player, I had a little chuckle when I realized how ridiculously diverse the different music I had on there was. I never ever just listen to everything all the way through, I think that would be a little too weird. I'm not the kind of person that like just puts it on random and listens to whatever. NO. That will not do! I do have a "workout mix" of stuff I like to listen to when I'm working out, and that is sort of random. It's mostly 80's music, since it tends to be very high energy, therefore appropriate for exercising.

BONUS:
A couple full audiobooks are on there too, such as Hitchhiker's Guide, and one called "mindless eating" aka the best diet book evar.
I find a few of the juxtapositions to be particularly amusing.
I really don't know WHY I am amused by such things, but I am. Just thought I would share. In class I've been learning a whole bunch, this week. It's been really nice. For a while I was feeling like I was in a sort of suspended animation when it came to learning new material, and it was kinda freaking me out. I never know if that's my fault or I'm just not paying attention or what. I really enjoy learning new things, especially if I've been struggling with something only to find that there is a super easy way of doing it. MAN is that satisfying. I feel like things are really starting to come together in that class and the bridge I am building from amateur to professional is sturdy. Unfinished, yes, but with a strong foundation.
Yes, many of my classmates are still TERRIBLY annoying, and at times my instructors are as well, but that is okay. For my instructors I know it is because they have perfected the fine art that is "bullshit" while I have let that particular skill wane in favor of honesty and openness (stupid move? probably). Bullshit is ESSENTIAL in the fields of sales and the creative arts alike, this is not a diss on anyone in anyway--I should know, I went to art school. Interior Design (really all design) combines art and salesmanship in such a way to maximize the bullshitting potential, so apparently I should start working on that again. As for the stupid questions, well, just have to put up with it I guess. I think Sunny has the patience of a saint, at times.
HEY MOM if you are reading this, and I know you eventually will, conveniently in tandem with me eventually forgetting to ask you this question, which is why I am posting it here: who was that fat girl singing on the Carson Daly show that we saw the other day? I liked her stuff and I wanted to get some of her music. I mean apparently according to Kabby that cover was her best song, and I'll believe it, but I still want to look into it. OKAY. Find that out for me. PS no luck on the Nina Simone thing either :(
I close with a joke:
So... Descartes walks into a bar one day, and the bar-tender asks him, "Do you want a drink?"
Descartes replies, "I think not."
And with a pop of displaced air, he blips out of existence.
