Red Eye Rantings

This unedited blog courtesy of my red eye flight to DC last week:

"So sitting on this stupid plane with stupd dude next to me (GAH) I am channeling Taylor Swift.  Not just one song, but every. single. one. that plays on my little green shuffle.  I read once that its socially acceptable to channel Miss Swift.  But what is socially acceptable and what crosses the line?  One song.  Ok. Two? Three?  When is it a one way ticket to crazyville?  Or maybe Taylor is the one we shoulde worry about?  Is she far too wise for her years?  A backwards version of me.  I could roll with that.  Anything to make me feel less crazy. 

Thats the thing about music.  It makes you "take action".  I have been daydreaming (yes I know I'm on a red eye) about what my next blog would be and BAM! that song about the boy who lied (yes could be any T Swift song) come on and I find my pen and make the conscious decision to pay my bill online so I can immediately draft on the envelope instead.

This phenomena - to me - at times is what I most love and most hate about music.  The fact that a song can so quickly take you to a completely different, unrelated place will continue to amaze me for likely the entirety of my life. 

So anyways, its 3:30 am my time.  Can you tell?

Thanks a lot T Swift."
