I haven't had nearly enough music in my life for the past 13 months. There was a point not very long ago when I almost always had some kind of music going in the background; whether it was driving, or just sitting at home working, there was music in the background.
That went away for a while. An now I'm re-discovering music, and the effect it can have on me.
For example this morning I was feeling no very good, emotionally, so I put on some old Delta blues (Howlin' Wolf Burnett, to be precise). And I feel a bit better because of it. Not the specific songs, but rather just having music around me. Slow, rhythmic, and lyrical music. It seems to have somewhat of a calming influence right now.
I'm curious to know if anyone else has similar experience with music... does listening to music change your emotional state? Do you just appreciate it for what it is, or do you feel the music?
Commercial Hell

I really like Hell's Kitchen.
Even more though, I hate the fact that they run a full commercial set every 9 minutes.
Feeling... surpised

So my ex moved out on May 1st, and we'd been broken up for a couple weeks before that. Now by my count, that means that she's been living alone for a few days short of three weeks.
So you can imagine my surprise when she told me yesterday that she was seeing someone. Already. And had been for a bit. I'm not upset by the fact, just a tad surprised by it, is all.
Enough Already

I gave up. I joined Facebook.
I feel dirty now.

I can remember working in places that were like this, and thinking about things along these lines on a Friday afternoon... video after the jump...
But wait! There's more!
It's Heartwarming...

... to see an Audi TT come blazing around a corner with engine screaming, and running a red light in the process.
Right in front of a cop car.

I drive a Volvo, with a little puny 15-gallon gas tank. The owner's manual says to use mid-grade or better, so I do. I filled up today in Abbotsford and it ran me $55, with 1/8 of a tank left.
Then I looked over at this F150, cause the lady filling the tank was cute. And I saw the price on that pump... at $110. I don't feel any better about gas prices, but I sure as hell feel better about my choice of vehicle.
