After many hours of biology note cards and about 30 hours over three days of driving time, I have decided that I very much love music and the radio. There's just something about it. It's not like I enjoy just one genre or type of broadcast. Pop, rap, Contemporary Christian, country and the like are up for grabs. As for broadcasts I like the kid shows, a good sermon every now and then, comedy, morning banter, late night call-in-shows and your good ol' conservative talk show. Perhaps its the thoughts that run by with each song and experience or the reality of it. Granted there is time and good use of quiet but more often than not I find myself listening to something.
If the news and weather aren't keeping me up to date, then a song is encouraging or stimulating thoughts. What better way to learn by music, it sticks in your head and you certainly don't forget it. I mean how many times have you been stuck singing an annoying song that you just can't get out of your head or better yet you wake up singing one you love.
Well today was no exception, I did note cards for most of the day and passed the time with Pandora, sure does make it more exciting. Hear are some of the songs I hadn't heard before but kind of liked: Sitting at a Red Light by Susie Luchsinger, Stand by Matthew West, Just Pray by Jason Meadows, With You by Geoff Moore, and Look Like a Fool by Matt Maher. These were all Christian and some of the melodies are a bit old school but the lyrics are powerful.
Anyway, anybody else out there feel like you always have to have something playing in the background? I mean I can even have a book on tape, headphones in with music, and read a book at the same time. Wait a sec, maybe that's not a good thing, I wonder how much of each of those I'm really taking in. It's crazy how I can just tune out other things!
