For the week begining Nov. 15th

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

I love it when you forget all your troubles and get lost in thoughts about your friends' problems. I love it when you place your entire focus on the heat steaming from your cup of coffee or on the sun reflecting on a puddle or on the mysterious expression gracing the face of a stranger. In fact I love it whenever you prove how much you love being here on earth by taking your attention off yourself, and giving it to everything else. The coming week will be a perfect time to specialize in this consummate art.

Isn't it funny how quickly you can become dependent upon something and not even know it? With today's technological advances you become dependent on things and you don't even know it.

Well i was reminded this morning of my technological dependence when i was taking my ipod out of my coat pocket to select a playlist for the morning commute to the office. I managed to get my ipod caught on my jacket flap and i dropped it to the ground. When it hit, it busted open...

I was devestated... not really, but really. if you know what i mean. So I continued on my way to the car and went to plug in...

stop.

oh man, my ipod is busted i'll have to listen to a cd.

stop.

I moved my cd's to the apartment when i got the ipod hook up in the car.
i guess there's always radio. i hate morning radio.
i hate radio altogether, really... but that's a whole 'nother blog post.

So i drove with the radio on for about 5 minutes, and after not finding one suitable station to listen to, i drove in silence for 15 minutes to the office. where i am now sitting in silence posting to this blog wondering how i'm going to make it through the day without any music in my life...

and thinking...
i hope my cellphone doesn't die on me today

good luck trying to find a pay phone.

anywhere.
