Every time I started listening to music I'd wonder what interesting news story or topic I was missing out on and give up and tune in again.
I think I liked npr so much because it allowed me to think outside my own circumstances and escape my reality to something that still seemed substantial and important.
Now I only listen to music. Everyday, while I'm commuting, folding, and walking on campus. If I'm not listening to music, I'm enjoying silence. I think it's because I am so thoroughly comfortable with myself and my circumstances. If I ever start listening to npr, I worry that I'm missing out on a perfect opportunity to enjoy some music. Sometimes I don't realize how big my smile is while I'm listening on campus until somebody passing me flashes a weird look.

I was recently sucked in by NPR because I turned on the radio and the pop stations DJ's all sounded like the biggest yutzes ever. I kept scrolling through the dial and then across the air waves came an articulate, cool female voice. I wondered what it could be. Oh NPR, of course. Since this is your blog I'll stop there and spare you the details of what really ticked me off so that I had to go back to the yutzes.
ha ha. that happens to me on occasion - i catch myself walking around with a great tune in my head and a duffus smile on my face, and i think "better quit looking so suspicious."
