A New Obsession

May 20, 2009 at 8:26 pm | In Heroes, marriage, music | 2 Comments

I have a bit of an obsessive personality.  I find something and get completely into–for a while.  I do it with people, games, and various other things. 

Right now I have two obsessions.  One I have no problem sharing, but the other other I’m a bit embarrassed about admitting to yet. 

So I will just tell you about obsession 1 today.  :)   www.playlist.com   I LOVE this site.  I can listen to my earworms over and over and over.  I have found so many cool songs on this site.  I am addicted.   I was going to write that I can listen without having to buy the music, but in truth now I want some of these songs more than ever.

So here is my current list that I’m ashamed to admit how many times I have played it:

  • Why Does It Always Rain On Me by Travis
  • Supermassive Black Hole by Muse
  • Years by Mike Ruekberg (probably my favorite musician–amazing musician, expecially live.)
  • Viva la Vida by Coldplay
  • Hey Hey by Superchick
  • Waning Moon by the adorable Peter Himmelman (great story about him–another blog post.)
  • Magic Tree by Kirsten Price
  • Same Jeans by the View
  • This is Everything by Wisely (ADORE him and his music!)

Supposedly I should be able to post a player on my blog, but that would require thought and more time than I am willing to invest right now.

I just peeked at hubby’s playlist, Julian Lennon’s whole first album, Bow Wow Wow, and Pass the Dutchie (can’t remember the group.)  He has such an eclectic taste in music.  I never know what he is going to listen to next.

What would be on your playlist?

I’m Completely Amazed

Connie Culp has earned my respect and even my admiration.  Ms. Culp is the woman that recently came forward this week as a recipient of the face transplant.  The courage that she has shown to educate people amazes me. 

I can’t even fathom walking around with her previous face.  I doubt I would go anywhere.  Her story about going to the mall is an example of her bravery.  A child called her a monster, and she responded by taking the time to show the child her picture before she was shot. 

Not to mention she has had over 30 surgeries.  I’ve had one and NEVER want to have another.  I’m proud of her for her bravery and her willingness to share her story.  Hopefully people will listen and consider donating their organs and tissues after their death.
