The times, they are a changing
I remember about a year ago I would go out with my friends to the bar and then come home, alone, and have one more drink and one more smoke. I would sit in front of the computer and play my special songs. Me and Jim Cuddy had a real thing going on. This morning while playing an important game on neopets I listened to Bad Timing and Five Days in May. These songs are my bible. They mean everything to me. I felt happy listening to them, not sad. I mean sad a tiny bit because I let Darin make me forget about Blue Rodeo.
If you know me, and I think you do a little, you know that I live and die Blue Rodeo. It's my core. It's how I know who I am. I have always said that I could never marry a man that didn't understand that Blue Rodeo will most definately be played at my wedding, Blue Rodeo could be heard throughout the speakers in the house at the very very least once a week, and more importantly that they needed to appreciate why I love them so much.
I feel like I have thrown all my ideals out the window. I have let other musical influences into my life. People like: Jason Mraz; Amos Lee; Damian Marley; John Legend; and Jack Johnson. I really am such a music slut. Does this mean I am getting older? I thought that when you get older you get more set in your ways? But for me I am trying new things and throwing my old social script to the dogs. It's actually very empowering.

I think, when you get older, you become less obsessive about one particular musical act. Once you pass the "posters in your locker" phase, you can open your mind and appreciate different things musically. In highschool, if it wasn't Morrissey or Morrissey-related, I wouldn't listen to it. Now, I like all sorts of music, and I'm sooo much richer for it (emotionally, not financially).
Of course, that being said, despite my growth as a music fan, Martin Tielli still has a restraining order out against me. Stalking is such an ugly word. I prefer "full-time appreciator."
