u ever feel like there are some things in life u just need to do and make the time for, even if there's not really a good time to do those things? i often find myself staying up later than i should and need to during the week...often i simply don't want to night and its freedom from work and responsibility to end. but sometimes it's out of necessity...a need to just zone out, turn off the brain, and just enjoy the simple things.
one of those simple things for me often turns out to be just listening to music. sometimes i have a private dance party, other times i just sing along, and on occasion i just sit and listen [and blog or surf the web as well]. i'm a big fan of television and it's a comforting thing to have on around the house...but it's nice to escape from it and just listen.
i think the comfort i find in music [be it dancing to it, singing along with it, listening to it closely, having it on in the background] explains my interest in and love of it. it's why i started a music blog [even if it has not really taken off as hoped], it's why i'm willing to spend money purchasing new music or going to concerts [the latter is something i really need to do a lot more]...it's why over the years so many have seen me roaming the halls of school, dancing on BART platforms, or just strolling whatever city i happen to be in with some headphones on...pretty much in a small aural world of my own within the larger world we all share.
the important thing is to take time for these things...even if it means sacrificing a bit of sleep or watching TV or reading or working or whatever. delving into these indulgences of our interests and passions provide a balance to life that makes all the rest that much easier to process and get thru...even if the rest is just the daily grind of a job that may be less than ideal [and i'll be damned if such indulgences aren't vital to the more trying times in life].
on that note, i'm gonna enjoy a few more tracks and then get my sleep on...
