Never Heard Before.

So I picked up an MP3 player and it is awesome. Its a Creative Zen Touch and the sound is really stellar. And my awesome roommate Patrick lends me his awesome headphones and now I am typing this blogpost after listening to Dave Matthews Band's Satellite. Simply, it blew my mind. I have never heard this song or any song for that matter sound quite so good. It's a bit how I might imagine discovering a sixth sense. Like pulling the cotton from your ears, the song takes on a whole new dimension. I kid you not, it is that good.

In other news, Tampa has been unusually chilly lately, especially the mornings and evenings....and I love it. And I'm gonna blog more regularly so come back, ya hear?

Elsewhere, I'm really contemplating selling my car and giving a try at a documentary this summer(more next post). Of course when I come back to Tampa, I'll still have a life, full of bills to pay and classes to attend. So I'm thinking that I'll bike/bus around. It'll be a change for sure. But even as it is terrifying, its exciting. It's a funny thing to tell someone you're even considering giving up a car by choice. The response is almost always the same. "But you have to have a car," they say, "how can you go where you want?" And all that just doesnt appeal. It doesnt sound like freedom to me. A life un-carred, a life uncaged, but especially a life chosen as such, seems like a higher expression of freedom than owning a car because you have to.

Am I mistaken? Maybe.
