Curbing the Music Addiction

I have a problem.

This music addiction is too tempting for me. I get caught up in good music. Then because it's been made so affordable by our friends the Russians, I have to go and buy it. And you'd think that since it's so cheap, I'd not be spending all that much money. Nope. I burn through more than my share of greenbacks... and I have a hefty music library to prove it.

I guess there are worse things I could be spending my hard earned money on. TAnd for the record I am saving money, AND paying off my debts. So I'm exaggerating a little. But seriously. I need to have a little self control when it comes to buying ANOTHER soundtrack to a movie.

I didn't realize how few people listen to soundtracks until it was pointed out to me by a few people, one this week.

I do. A lot. I don't exactly get inspiration from it, I just like to feel. I like it how it can make me feel and empathize with others' experiences. It's almost like a drug, but a natural high for me. The funny thing is, I think this is why I require an abnormal amount of anesthesia when I get put out for medical procedures. The last time I got put under the nurse said I was like a drug user, as people that use are accustomed to chemical highs require much more stuff to put them out. I used or needed far more than I should have. What can I say, I must be high on life! But seriously, music really is a high for me. And believe me, it's habit forming...

  1. Well you know I agree. We should share music Ben. I might have stuff you want and vice versa. Where do you buy your music so cheap fyi? You know I share in your addiction. We have thousands of CD's around and now with everything being digital 2 TB full of music and more filling up my computer. Why just last night ... well that wasn't a soundtrack but it was a lovely song. Good luck and I'm with you.
