random musings of a neurotic
my friend Music

I’ve misplaced my ipod. several days, weeks, or months ago. I can’t tell you when, exactly, because I haven’t really missed it, to tell you the truth. I realized it while driving around the other day, and it dawned on me that I haven’t even really felt like listening to anything lately. anyone who knows me knows that that’s just weird. I guess sometimes it just takes a cold, overcast, dark and gloomy late winter afternoon, preoccupied with affairs of the heart for me to remember and appreciate my old friend Music. in case you don’t know, Music is always good for some company when you don’t really feel like any. sometimes, it’s just the beauty and power in the song you’re hearing for the first time all over again that’s enough to make you feel like everything’s going to be okay. it’s a comfortable melancholy of sorts, the comfort subjective and varying, and sometimes altogether absent.
most effectively delivered by kinetically loud and enveloping transport, currently over-the-ear headphones. yes, like the ones your Dad used to have. the ones that made you look like Princess Leia. yeah, you know what I’m talking about, you little fairy.
