Music Makes the People Come Together
“I’ll give you a hundred bucks for it.”
“Nope.”
“I’ll give you a hundred and ten.”
“Nut-uh”
“Ok, can you go buy me one? Here’s my card.”
That was a conversation that my dad and I had on the last day I was in Buffalo, a few weeks ago. He was talking about my iPod Touch. The whole week he played with it; he listened to my music, looked up words on the dictionary, goofed with the atomic fart generator, and looked around on Facebook. Basically, he fell in love. What’s not to love? I love it so much I want to have little iBabies with it.
When I got home with it and we got it all working, he asked if I could help him put music on it. So, I plugged it into my laptop and got all 865 of my music files synced to his device. Sharing music like this opens doors in relationships. It can tell a lot about person.
It’s no secret how much I love music. If you are one of my Tweeties you know that I’m also a Blipping fool. Prior to that I was into Project Playlist (which I still use and update) and I often featured songs and lyrics on my Myspace. Prior to that prior I used to moderate a bulletin board on a Mama Drama site where, basically, I posted all my favorite songs and lyrics. I’ve been doing that all my life. I hear a song, fall in love with it, and over play the hell out of it!

Yesterday we took a drive in the mountains. It just so happened that the town that we were going to was having a little Art Festival. We walked around, took in the sights, ate some gourmet corn-dogs, and got to hear some interesting sounds. When we first got there we heard this Native American man playing these these awesome wood pipes, and at the end of our time there we stumbled upon these three men getting down under a shade tree.
Dude, could it get any more perfect? Art appreciation. Picture taking. Good food smells. No rain. And music! It absolutely COULD NOT get any better. Oh well, maybe it could but I’ll leave that for another post. *wink*wink*nudge*nudge*
Oh music, how I love thee! You pick me up, when I’m feeling down. You energize me when my batteries are low and give me inspiration. You trip me into another space when tripping without drugs is needed. You allow me a moment or seventy-four of zen. You grip me. You make me think. You are the perfect friend.
Recovery is Hard
It had to be done. Sure there are those out there that think that waiting is the way to go, but eventually the surgery would have [probably] had to be done. It had to be done and I’m glad that David is young enough to not remember this whole ordeal.
This week has been a slow motion week for a very fast paced boy. Normally, he hits the ground running and doesn’t even think to stop. His little run is so quick that his heels kick out and it’s one of the sweetest, cutest, most adorable things to watch. This week has been a slow motion week for a very fast paced boy and I never thought I’d say it but all I want is to watch Davey bounce from here to there, from there to here.
