Something like Daylight
"come on give me one reason, come on find me in Daylight... "
For many people, including myself, music is what encompasses night and day. It is what brings emotions to the surface, and, sometimes can identify a situation or a person. For me I feel that music is simply my blood, it is what is pumping through me at all times no matter what the occassion. It is a rare moment when my mind is literally "empty" and not thinking of life issues or music. Since school is no longer taking up my time, I have turned my attention towards my music, and lack of a great collection. My tastes have changed as I have gotten older, but they remain in the category of "me" and they are what help me get through my days, good, bad or in between. I do not have a single "song" that fits me, but a mere collection of songs that help define me and the many facets of my life.
Non-music related....
What do you do when you feel you've been slapped in the face, metaphorically? In a situation that I cannot quite understand, I find myself looking at a few people in my life and thinking, "what???" You get asked to do something as a means to help out but turn around and realize they could have done it themselves. You are told you have to wait and yet you turn around and wonder why you had to wait when someone else received something with more priority over you. When did 8th grade promotion to highschool become a priority, or more deserving/quicker rewarding event, over graduation from a University with Bachelors degree?
I tend to keep opinions to myself in almost all conversations and situations. This makes for heavy listening by my significant other. Oh the great ears of my S.O. Sometimes I think maybe I should speak up, but then I just feel it is a waste of my breath. I mean, make an ass of yourself, you're going to realize it one day. Karma does come back to bite you in the ass, I am a firm believer in that. It has happened to me, no doubt it can happen to anyone else. So what have I noticed lately in my quiet escapades? A lot actually. Most notably, apparently when I am quiet it is often assumed I am tired or grouchy, which neither are usually the case. I'm a deep-thinker, and if I could write everything down that I hear, I probaly would. Beside being assumed I am grouchy and crabby, I notice that people act differently from 21 floors in space. On a floor that is 21 floors up, people act a certain way, and it is interesting. There is a diligence to their work, a politeness to their voice and a reserved attitude as they approach certain people. Back down to the floor, these same people act young and flirtatious. Why does this surprise me? Maybe because I know one of them is in a serious relationship with someone and has been for a few years. Flirting is a natural interaction between humans. I fully understand it is going to happen. But for it to happen purposefully and more forcefully than naturally, that makes a person think twice.
I have also noticed that people like to call attention to themselves and it is sometimes laughable. Of course most people love to have the spot light, but sometimes, when they are just grabbing for attention, saying things that may not always be true, it looks ridiculous. So why don't I call people out on their obvious behavior? Because I really don't care all that much as to what they do in their life, I simply care about what I do in my life and what happens in the lives of those whom I love. Call me selfish or self-(you fill in the blank). Random people, or day-to-day people, are just people. If ever the person becomes close to me and I care, I will speak to them and give them my opinion, as much as they give me theirs.
Ladies and gentlemen, what have we learned? Music is the soul of Ezzie. People are random and weird. Don't piss me off, I can be a bitch and just kick you out of my life.
