Day 15: Music (/Third Eye Blind)

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am obsessed - and I do not use that word lightly - with Third Eye Blind.  I believe Stephan Jenkins is a lyrical genius.  (Fun fact, he was valedictorian of his class at Berkeley with his degree in English literature...in spite of the fact that one of his high school English teachers told him she'd be surprised if he even graduated high school.)  I mean, have you ever heard a Third Eye Blind song??  I mean REALLY listened to what he's saying?  Le sigh.  So.  Amazing.

Stephan's brought me through many sad/happy/angry times, and I probably spent 33% of my college nights driving in the country and across Clinton Lake Dam with my windows down and 3EB (that's short for Third Eye Blind, in case you weren't already hip and didn't know that) blaring my ear drums out.  However, while I can credit him with 99.9% of my music listening enjoyment, I will admit I sometimes, occasionally, listen to other artists and enjoy them as well.  And it makes sense that I should enjoy music so much since I like poetry so much.  Because that's what music is.  Especially Third Eye Blind's.  For real.

So yesterday I was cleaning my apartment.  Like on my hands and knees, good-'ole-elbow-grease-scrubbing toilets, bathtubs and floors kinda cleaning.  And while doing so, I had my iPod on shuffle.  I find that when I have music on, I am approximately 5,893% more productive, especially when it comes to chores.  Why is this?  No idea.  But it works.  And when I have my iPod on shuffle I re-discover old faves and become nostalgic and think about all the wonderful memories I have made.  Man I'm awesome.

This photo is unrelated.  Just wanted to show off the awesome brownies I just made.
