Have you ever listened to a particular song or album during a particular time in your life and then lost that song or album or had it stolen from you by some roommate or boyfriend or whatever and then listened to it again a few years later and just been taken back like nobody's business? I have. And my first inclination is to go out and buy the album again. But then you own the album and you listen to it and slowly you don't equate that song or album with that old time anymore. Recently this happened to me and I'm thinking of just not buying it and just keeping it tied to that particular time so as to not lose that feeling.
My bro and I watched Lucky Number Slevin yesterday. I kind of have the hots for Josh Hartnet now. Go figure. It was good, though. I recommend it. Kind of silly but intentionally so. And Sir Ben Kingsly was really great.
Everyone at my job hates me. They think I am a know-it-all who thinks she is better than everyone else. I am. Part of me is kind of sad that they don't like me but part of me is secretly happy that I have become the kind of assertive bitch who gets shit done. I think I have finally learned to cut the crap and get to work, advise given to me when I was very young by my auntie tuney. Other women do not like women who cut the crap and get to work. And I am a know-it-all. But I used to try to hide it sometimes. Going back to college has made me cut that crap out.
You know what my new favorte teacher said on the first day of class last week? She said that modernism is difficult and that most of the time we'll feel unteathered and unmoored and that is okay. Is that a quote from something or did she just make that up? Unteathered and Unmoored and that's okay.
I'm taking two english classes. A criticism class and a U.S. lit class (that is the modernism class). I am also taking an ethnics in computer technology class. It is really cool. I'll be able to tell everyone whether or not it is okay ethically to download mp3s illegally.

Yeah, but I have so much music (and endless amounts I have yet to bend my ear to) that even "owning" the memorable song doesn't mean I listen to it all the time. I.E. I have some INXS on a burnt CD from when my brother visited me a while back. I don't listen to that shit everyday. But when I want to go back . . . You know, sometimes you kick, sometimes you get kicked.
Also, isn't that what radio is for? Why does radio have to totally suck nowadays? Is that a sign of getting older - saying that things were better back in the day? Still, music radio sucks.
