I love music. It runs in my blood. There is something oddly comforting about putting on a certain song or playlist and just feeling, lost in it. Recently, I have not had that feeling. It has been about 2 months since my iPod has been turned on. 79% of my iPod use is at work, 12% is in the car, and the rest is split between my shower time and about 1/2 of a percent is used by Michael. Still, it has been on. It started about two months ago. I got into a music slump. I still have no idea as to why since my iPod is a 120GB and has over 5,000 songs, 6 movies and a few music videos. I got into a habit of bring movies into work to listen to. We have movies coming out of our ears. I got into a chick flick run. After viewing everything from "27 Dresses", "While You Were Sleeping", "Pride and Prejudice", "Mean Girls" and "Monster-In-Law", I then retired that genre and moved to my action side. "Italian Job", "The Bourne Series", "Crank", "Die Hard" and "The Batman Series"(yes even Batman and Robin ft George Clooney and Schwarzenegger). I then transitioned to my seasons of TV. I made it through Season 6 of "Grey's Anatomy", Season 4 of "The Office", Season 1 of "The Big Bang Theory", and the first part of Season 1 of "GLEE". Today I finished my last episode of GLEE and proceeded to close out of my RealPlayer and pulled out my iPod. I didn't have much left in the day but I turned on my "Loves" playlist on random and heard sweet music running through my veins again. It was the odd familiar and I set in a very comfortable zone for the rest of the day. I have about 315 songs in that playlist and I managed to get through about 30 of them.
