I use iTunes to hold the library of my music, and on it I have a shopping cart of around $500.00 of future music to purchase. I would have more, but they limit the $500.00 for my shopping cart.

Every couple of months I go through the whole cart and listen to the 30 second stints of a song, and my has more thoughts than I get my entire week. I feel sort of vegetated at the moment. I make enough at my job to pay my bills, and have a little bit of spending money, but it places me in the beautiful cycle of always having to spend the majority of my time while I'm awake at doing something that I wouldn't do for free. Thus, I find myself exhausted, and often quite numb due to the common routine that I must do in order to simply exist.


During the week while driving to work, I realized I need to walk more in the parks, to get out of my apartment and feel the wind and rain that we have right now. I need music and books to flood my mind with new thoughts, new arguments, and to stir my soul so easily made drunk by the mundane realities of this life. I need to shut of my TV and spend a night with music, a glass of wine, and a book the invokes my philosophical mind to become active again.
