Out of Normal: Hello World.

March 25, 2003

Hello World.

I have been remiss in posting, and I apologize. Life has been full of beautiful and wonderful things as of late. I am really blessed this year!! After 2002, I wondered if the stars were aligned against me. 2003 has taken off with a bang! As DJ Roman would put it, life is gooooooood.

Recently I re-took a personality test, and found that although my world views have changed drastically over the past year, that my personality type, ENFP, has remained in tact. The E is MUCH closer to and I, within 3 points, and I feel that on a daily basis.

It has recently been made known to me that ones music collection speaks volumes about the individual. I had never taken a moment to consider this before, but I agree. I MUST go home and throw away a lot of music. Don't worry, no Zeppelin, but the Def Lep, Poison, Ratt, and Motley Crue is all meeting Mr. Garbage man. That Michael Jackson Thriller Album on Vinyl will also meet an untimely end. I am embarassed that I have ever owned this vile and disgusting blend of auditory torture.

Eeps! Don't throw them away. Put them on e-Bay and make some money!

you're gonna regret throwing your winger CDs away when by some medical miracle you end up with a mullet overnight.

Hey, don't forget to throw out your Wham! and Culture Club CDs, too.

music reflecting the individual: that must mean I am all over the place. lol I have everything from big band to loreena mckinnet. wouldn't it be cool if someone put up a site where you could analyse yourself by looking up your music? You know, like, Culture Club = tendency to change clothes often and dying your hair reflecting incapable of making decisions. or some such stuff as that....

As long as listening to Wham! or George Michael doesn't come back as "You have a tendancy to enjoy public restrooms and/or showing off in public!" Don't feel alone, Broch... I've been looking through my collection as I convert most of it over to MP3 format, and I too have cringed at the thought of some of the music in my collection while wondering "What was I thinking?" It all comes back to the time and mood. At the time it sounded good, or I probably wouldn't have bought it in the first place. I know my tastes have changed over the years - it used to the 70's-80's stuff I grew up with (The Police, AC/DC, ZZ Top, etc.) Today it is a wide range of music from blues through some of today's commercial industrial productions like Nine Inch Nails and Prodigy or even The Crystal Method. I still don't like rap or most country, so I think I'm still sane. It's still nice, though, to pull out an 80's track like something from the Clash, The Romantics or even George Clinton to remind me of the fun times of my youth.

The word is that our taste buds go through a change every seven years or so...I've noticed that musical tastes do as well. My friend, Paul Tucker, the southern rock bass player for Tall Dogs and Sea Level...is now recording "smooth jazz" on the Isle of Pines, SC. Another bud, Bruce Brookshire, radical rock guitarist for Doc Holliday is now doing contemporary Christian music, but still tours Europe is his "rock rags". I think that puts you in good company... BTW, ENFP's are great and I'm blessed to have several as close friends! A pretty powerful lot if you ask me. As an ENFJ, it's nice to be an almost. Have a good one!
