I had a really rough day today. Got up early and went to work and had a pile of stuff to do. I have a deadline Monday and will have to work the weekend again, like the last four weekends. Plus there are lay off rumors. Everyone is on edge. So I put on my Ipod and listed to some soothing jazz and rock music to try to get through it all.

It’s nice to be able to some Coltrane or Fitzgerald from time to time. People don’t mind if I put on the speakers and play from my music. That’s the one positive thing I can say about my job, my co workers are cool like that.

So while I’m sifting through email put my mp3 player on shuffle and just go through my 2000 songs. So I was kinda bored today and put on something more jazzy than usually. More up beat tunes from my favorite artists and the like.

So I have music on during my ride to work, during work, during lunch, after lunch and after work. Today was a crappy day, I had songs playing all day long. You ever get that feeling where you go to work and your thinking holy crap it’s only the middle of the week, two more days to go and you just get that dizzy feeling in your head? Yep one of those days. I figure if I’m not going to be productive I might as well play some pop and rock music just to keep from going nuts.

Believe or not my favorite artists for relaxation is Elvis and the Beatles. I am 30 years old and I am still listening to these guys. Maybe it is because my moms and pops used to play Elvis all the time and talk about how great John, Paul, Ringo and the other guy was yada yada yada.

But seriously though can you imagine having to go a day without something playing in your head. It just amazes me how people can live without an ipod or manage to get by without Youtube or something like that. Seriously my music is like a life’s essential now. Can’t go without it. Songs are like my emotional and mental water. Without it I would go crazy. Off the reservation. One Hundred and ten percent nutso.

So what songs do you listen to when you are having a hard day? Please send me your comments and share your taste in music with us.
