In a very short period of time, I have come to realize and accept that I have a major problem. I really am addicted to music. It has become this all-consuming force, taking over each and every moment of my day. I'm spending all of my money on cds and concert tickets and upgrading my ipod so I can take all my music with me. I start to itch for new music after listening to a band for less than an hour. I read the Pitchfork and Filter sites religiously. I always have a song in my head, and it doesn't go away until I can find a new song to replace it. I find myself humming random tunes at random times and not even know what song it's from. I get antsy when I'm away from my piano for too long. I jump up and down for joy when I find an extremely rare EP at a record store. My heart breaks when I find out I can't go to a show.I guess there's nothing really wrong with this, but it really bothers me that no one gets it. Nobody I actually know realizes the power music has over me. They don't see why I spend so much time and money on music. They don't get why I have to see a band live more than once. That I actually REALLY LIKE all of the music I listen to. It's sad that the places I feel the most comfortable are on MOG and concert venues where I can discuss my love for The Flaming Lips or Arcade Fire with complete strangers that I know actually get it. I don't think I'm even living in the present anymore. I live for the future, when I can actually move away and find my little corner of the world, where people might actually understand my thing for music. I'm hoping to work somewhere in the music business one day and be with people that eat, sleep, and breathe music. The waiting for the future thing is killing me though.
