Music.....

Sorry for the grouchy post earlier. I am feeling better now. I put on Clay's Zune, and cranked up Nickelback, and cleaned the kitchen, and I tuned everyone out. Well, not really. I was fixing cereal, then oatmeal, then drinks for 3 kids...but I was just singing along, and they were hollaring at me, and I couldn't really hear them. I think I like that. I could use these in my ears all the time!! LOL

There is something about music. I love music, I always have. I like all kinds of music. As a teenager I listened to about everything there was. And loudly. I like really loud music. My husband on the other hand, has a selective choice in music, and also does not like it loud. The only time I ever listen to music in the house is when he is gone. Or when I am driving in the car without him. Either of those things doesn't happen too often. As soon as he walks in the door, he will turn my music down b/c he doesn't like the noise. In the car, it is usually so low, in my opinion, I can't hear. If I can't HEAR my music, I don't want it on. He also doesn't care for my singing. I used to sing all the time.....now not so much, and I think I am out of practice. I don't even like to hear myself sing anymore. I can remember in high school, I had art right after choir, and I would sing all through art class.....and everyone would tell me to shut up. But at the time, I didn't even care. The more they told me to be quiet, the more I would sing.

I also really like to listen to music from my younger years. There is something about Bon Jovi that just makes me feel young. Living on a Prayer is my ringtone on my phone. If it were just me here, I think I would listen to music all day long. And I think I would be in a better mood for it. When I was younger, the minute I went in my room, my radio came on. I loved to just ride in my car and listen with it cranked up. I spend most of my money on tapes and cds.

I liked everything from rock, to grundge, to heavy medal, to christian, to country, and the 80's. I even remember jamming to a Mama's and Papa's tape. I can listen to a certain song, and it just takes me back. Mostly good memories.
