Re-creation
The older I get, the stronger the desire to recreate my youth becomes. I am currently looking for a white ceramic christmas tree, about two feet tall that has christmas tree lights on it, like those popular in the 70s. I would LOVE to have one of those silver aluminum trees. You know, with the cool color wheel? When I bring this up, my DH curls his lip and snorts, so the likelihood of me acquiring one in the near future seems dim.
I heard a feature on NPR the other day about how most of us are open to new concepts, food, and music between the ages of 14 and 24. After age 31, most of us are not trying anything new. For example, sushi. I eat pseudo sushi -- the kind that doesn't actually have any raw fish in it. Because, ew.
In regard to music, I must say, upon examination of my iTunes lists, that the majority of my music comes from the 70s and 80s. I try to like the new stuff, I really do, but rap is so abrasive, and a lot of the grunge or whatever one calls it nowadays is not melodic at all.
I currently have 590 songson my iPod. From this century, I have:
Mr. Brightside by the Killers,
Rihanna's two hits,
Black Horse and Cherry Tree,
Better Together, Jack Johnson
Collide, Howie Day
La La, Ashlee Simpson (i KNOW, shut up)
Since U Been Gone, Kelly Clarkson
Caught Up, Usher
Rich Girl, Gwen Stefani
True, Ryan Cabrera
Ramalama Bang Bang, Roisin Murphy
Pretty Vegas, INXS
Baby, I'm Home, Trace Adkins
That would be 14. Out of almost 600. I really try to be hip and cool, I do. It's hard when I drive a minivan, tho...

I thought you were really up on the music after seeing your collection recently. Also, I was just thinking that you do a great job of selecting a variety of music for 2:24, some of which I'm not familiar because I have a similar leaning toward the 70's and 80's, too. CMGirl
