My Top 5 Songs

I am really enjoying the summer thus far!  I love riding the bicycle, sometimes going 30 miles or more on a ride, or tackling some big hills here in the city. I got an A in the winter class, and started the condensed, fast moving summer class. It shouldn't be too much of a problem.   Just this one and two more....! But I know really I am empty inside. I have no friends, no significant other.  It's hopeless. I haven't changed much over the last 20 years. The same things that bothered me then bother me now. Of course there are differences - and changes for the better, I would like to think.  But I still have the same faults, make the same mistakes when it comes to people, and still have the same anxieties about socializing and being the center of attention. That's all I care to say now. I care about those things, but DON'T care, at the same time. Mastodon is dominating the chart this month! Next month, they may strike with another single from the very good a...

Late this month posting - school has kept me busy.   The class ended this week, and I hope to get an A - we'll see.  I have 10 days of freedom until my accelerated pace summer class (2 months instead of 4!) commences. In good spirits lately.  The warm weather has me kicking butt on the hills on my bike.  The gears are a mess, though - I really have to learn how to fine tune them. The chain locks up at times, going up steep hills. I saw Mastodon, with Clutch and The Graveyard a couple weeks ago.  I really enjoyed Mastodon a great deal!  I did my head banging and acting so not my age (jumping up and down) but I don't care - I waited months for this after getting into this band last January.  I have three of their albums, now, and will probably get 'em all.   The other two bands were OK.  I was not fully impressed with Clutch, partly because I do not know their songs.  Most people there were for Clutch. I hope to see Godsmack at a mus...

I haven't really been able to enjoy music much lately, and therefore again this month there is little change to the Top 5.  A new entry is "Irresistable Force", by Jane's Addiction - a song that probably should have broken the chart last month.  My mind is just not on music a lot lately. That is my treasure, my escape, my solace - enjoyment of music.  I will get back into it soon enough, I hope! OCTOBER 2012 1.
