So I don't have a TV. That's important to know from the get-go. I don't want a TV and have really enjoyed not having one around the house. It forces you to pass time in more creative ways. I read basically whenever I am home and awake. And I listen to a lot of music. The trouble, though, is when I'm too tired to read and its too early to go to bed. Its a time of limbo where I have to occupy myself as best I can. Now is one of those times.
So what do I do? Crank 80's music, of course! Duh! Right now I've got Simple Minds "Alive and Kicking." Why 80's, you might wonder? Well, I am a child of the 80's. I was around to see the very first days of MTV. Believe it or not, they used to play videos on that station.
Now I've got Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long." My good friend Antonio loves this song. He and I cooked together at Toppers in Aspen. We would play 80's music on Thursday nights when Topper was off. Without question, we'd be busy as all hell, but we'd still have time to have a laugh of two at the great music. So naturally whenever I hear this song I think of him.
Not much of a ramble. I'll admit that. But to be honest, I can't concentrate on the tunes AND type at the same time. And rather than come across as a semi-literate moron, I'm just gonna fade to black..................................................
