Despite what the blogger tells you, it's actually 12:09am. And despite my usual "go get 'em" attitude at this hour, I'm exhausted. I bought a mac yesterday and, if you had been here, you would have witnessed awesome amounts of music loading. Maybe it's sad, but that's where my concern is before I leave for school. I'll be honest, though, all the Cd's I have=lame. I mean, there have been a few I've invested in recently (Across the Universe, Wicked, Rent... uh, is there a theme?) but most of my tunes I have lodged on the Dell downstairs--which is going to take a few hours to transport to the mac. So, as I'm going through my CD case, full of female christian artists and christian "rock" music from back in the day when I didn't have a clue about music, I feel as though I have grown. How does one go from Jaci Velasquez to As Cities Burn? I really don't know.
This blast from the past is slightly hilarious. Uh, Hansen. The Princess Diaries soundtrack. Avalon. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I still own these Cd's. But I feel they have made me a better person. The benefits to owning a crappy collection of music? 1. It shows growth. It shows you where I've started-- I mean, my taste could only get better. 2. If I ever need a Frisbee, I'll never have to look beyond my music collection. 3. I honestly can appreciate all types of music. I know the Christian, screamo, rock, country, punk, metal, oldies, jazz scene-- when one starts at the bottom, they have to experience everything to get to what actual music is. I didn't know what I liked, so I had to listen to everything. 4. I can look back to the days of my adolescence. It's kind of nice remembering I was a kid once.
So far the music I have on my beautiful computer is a variety of Cd's I've gotten through the ages. Lots of musicals (mentioned above), Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Beatles, classics from 1969, lovedrug, Simon and Garfunkel, Santana... What's to come? Coldplay, Train, Third Eye Blind, Chiodos, John Mayer, Dashboard Confessional, Haste the Day, Hillsong, Underoath, The Almost... And I only have two weeks to get it all together.
Goodnight, sleep well, and dream of very large women.
Carmen.

Oh my ... sounds like you and I were yet again on the same wavelength. I spent all day yesterday taking what I had downloaded from limewire and burning them onto CD's so I can open up some more memory on my computer for more wonderful music. I too was looking back at my past and how I had downloaded some old stuff ... now I'm off to look for more. Have fun with your new mac :-)
OH! I'm so glad that I'm not the only one with a slightly embarrassing music collection from back in the day.
However, we've come a longgg way from Avalon and Jaci Velasquez...
Oh Carmen... I'm so happy you've gotten your computer!! And REALLY hope you get all of your music organized... that by-far is the most crucial for a happy life.
:)
