penetrates, bonds, fulfills, merges, kills, creates, and dominates. I was trying to think of what music couldn’t do and I came up w/ nothing but blanks ….

Mass market entertainment penetrating my brain:

• Blades of Glory
• Madonna: American Life: I’m So Stupid, and Love Profusion
• The Corrupter
• DJ Strobe: Re:Made Volume One: Wicked Game
• Jem: Finally Woken: Come On Closer
• The Big Hit
• Benassi Bros.: Phobia: Rocket In The Sky (feat. Nann)

I really dig Madonna. Maybe you don’t and thats cool, we all open ourselves up to different things which in turn may open new doors, close others, burn bridges. They are simple choices but they define the future. What makes my head hurt is wondering about how many of those choices already have answers.

I’m not talking about fate, I do not believe in fate. What I do believe is that as more choices are made you are programming yourself, soon the choices are not so much your own as they are paths you follow. As you grow older you make fewer and fewer new choices. When do you stop making new choices? That day maybe the day you are locked into a world of predictability. Is your mind closed at that point? Or can you make a choice to have an open mind? Would that be the day you lost all your creativity? I guess I won’t know until the future is the past and I can reflect on these words again.

I constantly listening to music, even if it is just in my head. Below is a list of the last 7 CD’s I bought, along with my fav track from each.

• Juno Reactor: Odyssey 1992-2002: Rotoblade
• Holly Brook: Like Blood Like Honey: Saturdays
• Leather Strip: Yes - I’m Limited, Vol. II
• Crystal Method: Vegas: Comin’ Back
• Madonna: The Confessions Tour: Lucky Star (Live)
• That 1 Guy: Songs In The Key Of Beotch: One
• Kid Beyond: Amplivate: Wandering Star

I still buy CD’s, I don’t trust that iTune files have the same quality, plus there is the benefit of not having any DRM attached.

Some CD’s I buy and wonder why I didn’t buy them before. The music is like a renewed friendship or visiting an old residence, Comin’ Back, I cannot get enough of that song. Its a rush to kick back and wander through a place I didn’t know was forgotten. How many other places are there locked away inside of me waiting for a sound, a smell, or a touch to unlock them. I remember for a long time the air of fall gave me that rush, the feeling use to come around every year, but then one year it wasn’t there. Just the opposite of the music, something gone but not forgotten, something misplaced, something like a friend lost.
