Music and weather...

Today was cold(er), and work was early and long, and I am tired. Nothing is jumping out of my mind tonight, at the moment, but if I just type absolute nothings for a while, usually something pretty darn darn decent comes out. You need to have patience though. Sometimes I just thank God for music and the weather. Not, like, together or anything, but I'd say those two things are, at least for me, very important in life, and I feel I need to thank Him for them, where as others would not even think of it.

Music is something that lots are grateful for, but for me even more so, as they can be so parallel to my emotions sometimes. "At Least That's What You Said" by Wilco, for example, is pretty much my theme song right now in life. So depressing, but with a kind of hope and promise of something bigger. I can't explain music, because no one can. It's a gift from God, and it's unreal. Nothing else in our world can be compared to music. In practical terms, I would obviously choose sight over hearing if I had to make the choice, but if I could live a day-to-day life without my vision, I would lose it to keep my hearing. To keep music. I know! That Wilco song is like something that would be playing at the end of a love story movie, where the couple never ends up together, but have an understanding that someday they will be happy...somehow. I guess that wasn't any better, but anyways, it proves my point. Music is infinitely complicated. Combinations of sounds that bring such powerful feelings to the surface. Even though this might offend someone, but all of these things are my reason for never supporting any kind of rap. There is just no real music in rap. Just a continuous loop of some catchy riff (rif?).

As for weather, I have days that are ranked higher for me than nice sunny days that are the perfect temperature, with just a bit of a warm breeze (the Zephyr Song is playing right now on my I-Tunes). For me, and it has yet to happen, the perfect day would be about 20 degrees, but it would be overcast, not raining, with holes in the clouds where the sun would shine through onto the darkened Earth. Rays of light just beaming through as far as one can see, but with a dark covering of cloud at the same time. And while all this is happening, a very strong wind is blowing everything around, including the clouds, so that the light would be moving. The wind would be like a motor on a disco ball that way. I can see it in my head so perfectly, but it just does not want to happen in real life. If it did, the first thing I would do, is to run into the house, grab my Walkman, and plug in some Wilco and Weezer. Certain songs of course. Maybe a little Jars of Clay to keep my focus on who is giving me this wonderful weather. I do like it hot better than cold though. As in choosing between extremely hot and extremely cold. Too hot to move is better than too cold to stop moving for me.

The world really is pretty amazing if you look close enough. Now that sounds like a really stupid cliché, but it is true. Did you know the layer of reflective material in a potatoe (potato?) chip bag is only one molecule thick? I hope that's true, cause I just said it like it is. I guess that's not too interesting, but it is 11:30, and the world is an amazing place.

In conclusion and confusion, I have decided that I would love to donate both my blood and my bone marrow. Hopefully the chance to do so presents itself. Support good music!
