Hi,*sigh*
These were groups that I heard while back in college. Reminded me of many great times:
Grundge, Dance, Swing, "Great Music", Depeched Mode, Duran Duran, and many others.....
This was the scene of the 90s
Well, today I was working on some work, listening to some world music from my hard drive...now while I totally love my music collection on my hard drive, something was lacking...hmmmm.....variety. 
I realized I have not only been in a metaphorical fog as of late, but also a music rut.
I logged onto my local radio station which just so happens to be playing all 90s music.
Everything from C&C Music Factory to Melissa Etheridge, Everything but the Girl,  PearlJam, Garbage, Smashing Pumpkins  and ah...Nirvana and Bush,...wonder if they'll play some STP..I could  go for some of them right about now.
OH MY!!      K's Choice!!!  (totally awesome)          Placebo would be a big O    lol. he's so hot.
I know many might not know who half these names are, as not too many like what I like lol.
This quarter is coming down to the wire, and nothing like burning the midnite candle and having such inspiration such as these bands to  push forth through the muck. :)
plus abit of other things to set my mind straight....as is possible.

Music has a great impact on our lives.  We each have a soundtrack.  Every song reminds us of a particular moment, feeling or pivotal decision we've made in our lives.  Music can be nostalgic, melancholy, downright depressing and angry.  All in all, music is an avenue for us to deal with the "bleep" in our lives, because music is so in sync with our lives. 
It seems that when something is going on, when I turn on some music, the music is parallel to what I'm thinking or feeling.  It is like the music is here to save us, to give us that lift that .....well, no amount of talking to someone or writing a blog, journal or book can do justice to.
Must get back to work..the clock is calling:    "toki-meki, toki-meki"

If I did that, there'd be something totally different lol.

"Well I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more.........la la la"

So i'm sitting here burning cd's of all this downloaded music and thinking of all the people that the music makes me think of. I'm one of those people that has a song for every person, or a song for every occasion. So i'm making cd's with these songs on them and reminicing over great times and horrible times and times that i never want to forget. Does anyone else do this? I've got entire cd's full of music that can make me cry and laugh and sob and tear up and giggle and all those emotions that make you go "AWWWWWWWWW" deep down inside. Thats one of the ways i let myself know i'm still alive.

music has amazing effects.  you know that Rocky theme song? ....when you hear it you just can't help feeling more pumped up.  Do you have a song that really inspires you or gets you going?   people often listen to music especially for the purpose of getting revved up before playing a game or even while playing.  didn't some of those olympic skiiers listen to music while performing their medal run?  i will have to make some cd's that can give my living space some positive energy.  

anybody see Batchelor on abc?  yea i got hooked, the guy this season seems genuine.  a great catch for any girl.  what a weird twist, I was not seeing Moana being the one to go.  i thought they did all they ccould to mislead the viewer into thinking there was absolutely no chemistry between him and Sarah.  and engagement ring on a necklace,  hmmmm what a great way to make a quasi-promise but no promise.  lol

i've been away for a while, things were overwhelming but trying to take things in stride.  i have a date tomorrow, we'll see how that goes.  I am also thinking about my next career move....but i need to do things one at a time or something short circuits and i burn out.  hey at least i got my taxes done!!   oh that reminds me, i need to do my 2005 taxes now.   hope everyone has been doing well!!!!
