I had the opportunity on Friday night to drive over to Cheyenne to pick up a friend from the airport. He had arrived in Denver late and missed the flight to Laramie, so he grabbed one to Cheyenne since it is closer. It isn't a real long drive, about an hour, but since I recently hurt my back I wasn't looking forward to sitting that long. As it turned out I took some drugs and my back did OK, and I decided there is something I really like about driving; listening to music. I put my i-pod on random, and cranked the volume very loud (I do have a nice stereo system), and it was a lot of fun. I ended up having to wait at the airport for almost 3 hours because of delays, but I kept myself entertained by sitting in the car with the music cranked. I think if I had a more comfortable front seat I could really enjoy taking long drives.
This got me thinking about something that I kind of enjoy, but never really get to do, and that is taking a Sunday drive to look at the mountains and listen to music - some might not think my music is Sunday appropriate, but sometimes I'm not Sunday appropriate, so I don't care what others think. I suppose you could go for a drive any day for that matter. The only problem I have now is I would like someone to go with who would enjoy the music as I do.
At times I wish I didn't have a TV, so I would spend more time playing music. To often I sit on the couch and watch crap for hours when I could have been listening to something good, and all this because I am to lazy to go put a record on. I need to play my records more. I especially like listening to some of the old records I have that I had never really heard of before. I enjoy the experience of playing vinyl because I feel more involved with the listening. I do listen to MP3's on my computer - usually anytime I sit down at it and do something - like right now as I am typing, but it just isn't the same; although I do have much more music on MP3 - I have about 15,000 songs on my computer. Now that I'm thinking I never really play CD's anymore except in my car. I have 200 - 300 or more CD's and I never touch most of them because they are digitally imprinted on my PC. I'm missing out on the insert art and strange writings you find.
Well it must be late because I'm kinda rambling now so I better be "Movin' On" (that is the song playing right now on my PC. "I'm Movin' On" by Ray Charles - and as I get ready to post this the song "Shut UP" by the bloodhound gang just started. Good advice.

good post. i like music too, probably way too much.
I think we all have times when we aren't Sunday appropriate.
I had a meeting today and had refreshments of cake and "hot drinks" (hot chocolate & hot apple cider). Someone commented that we were having "hot drinks" on Sunday. I guess it is okay other days of the week.
