There was a time I had pretty much given up on modern music. I thought it was all garbage and nothing good would ever come of it again. But then, I heard the song "Someday" by The Strokes at the gym at UT and my interest was sparked. I looked up the lyrics that I could remember, found out the song, fell in love, and my hope was restored.
A similar thing happened when I heard "Float On" by Modest Mouse on a bus.
That's sort of a big deal because I listen to music probably at least 50-55 hours a week now. Nothing more exhilarating than finding a new good band or song (or pointing out the shortcomings of others).
Strange things are afoot in my life in certain aspects. Some people say that everything happens for a reason, but I think that's stupid. Because by the very definition of cause & effect, of course everything that happens has a reason. Atleast in the past. Not necessarily going forward.
And isn't keeping you distracted and entertained for a bit a good enough reason at times?
Me and atleast some of my comrades find themselves in the funk of living weekend-to-weekend, vacation to vacation, kinda mode with little look to the future. I struggle with that at times, but then I remember that I never really looked too far into the future in the past, and things worked out alright. Nothing ever gets done by planning. Sometimes it's good to just float on.
