Old music new to me. Relation Ships

Posted almost 6 years ago
So, fisrt off I'll talk a little bit about music because this place seems like it's just a little bit music oriented. Have you ever heard that the lead singer from your favorite band has join another group and that, somehow, the album release had crept by without your knowledge? Yeah, me too. Now, have you ever gone and picked up this album, listened to it once and thought to yourself "crap, this is crap."? Then a year later you put it in again to see if you are ready for it, only to think, once again, to yourself "again, still crap." So, along comes the next year and you give it the yearly play and still, it sucks. You decided that the CD/Album/Tape(?) is just not worth the space it's taking up so you get rid of it. A few years down the line after you've finally pushed the album from memory completely, you come across it and all of those memories just come back of how terrible it was, but, since you are a sucker and want to keep giving it just one more chance, you buy it. You hit the play button, sit back and wait for the inevitable. You listen to the first few songs and think to yourself "I don't remember it being this pleasureable to listen to. The shitty tracks have got to be coming up quick." But they never do. Now I can't stop listening to this album. I guess I just wasn't ready for it yet. I like rediscovering bands for the first time.On the second note. Last night was somewhat of a downer for me, not because I missed the Mog party, it just isn't feasable for me to drive 20 hours to meet innernet people, that's not saying that I never want to meet any of you, but that will have to come with time and less than 20 hours of driving. Last night, my girlfriend stayed behind at my place while I drove my friend back to his place. I was gone roughly 20 minutes. On the way back from my friends place I popped in an album I had heard in a long time. All of the sudden I was wide awake and wanting to drive around listening to music. Since I'm not in a big city and I hate driving with my windows down, music loud on the strip downtown, I usually head out into the country, 2 lane winding roads that lead to who knows where. I was really excited about the prospect of doing this, so I sped home. When I arrived back to my place I found my girlfriend passed out in my bed. I stood outside for a few minutes just contemplating going by myself, but it just diddn't appeal to me. I spent the remainder of my friday night reading. AND NOW FOR THE POINT! I really want to be able to go on late night drives with someone, loud music, windows down, tasting the fresh, cool night air. I don't want to come home until 4am on the weekends. I just want to be out with my significant other. It seems as of late that niether of us want to do the same thing and she goes to bed so early anymore that I don't even really have alone time with her because we are usually around other people during the early night. I know that when I leave here, the relationship will probably come to an end, the long distance thing is just rediculous. I don't want this to happen, but maybe it will be a breath of fresh air.I just wanted to get that off of my chest and my obligations today aren't allowing me to be around friends to talk with. So y'all are my next best thing.I'm not looking for advice. I just wanted to tell a story.

  6. lemontwist says Sometimes long relationships get a bit tough... everything becomes routine and it's hard to find a spark. Two years is a long time to be with somebody, if you think about it. The rest of your life is a long time, really. I've been in a relationship for 3 years and it can be difficult to keep it interesting. I never thought it would take so much work. :) I hear you on the late night drives on back country roads, though. This is why I'm in love with my car's 5 speed manual transmission and V6 engine. Going 60 on the windy roads with music blaring through my crappy 14-year-old speakers with the windows down and forgetting about all of my cares for a few moments is pure bliss. :)
