Music to soothe the savage mind........

For the past few days I have not been listening to my music as I take my ten minute walk to work. So instead of my mind being occupied by the music I've been listening to, Shystie, Kano a couple of UKs finest Grime MC's and some good dancehall, my mind have been occupied with itself. Now that is a danger all on it's own, my mind with its various thoughts. Just one block into the walk and my mind runs across a three some my friend with benefits (aka an ex) mentioned last week, also my future wife and family runs across my mind, also with my paranoid delusions fears of assassination runs across my mind, all within one block. So you can imagine how much crap I think of within the ten minutes.

I see my mind like the experience of driving a car. When your driving you pay attention to what's around you in the streets. The cars, your speed, pedestrians and all traffic signals is what you look out for while driving. When your driving either defensively getting ready to brake or swerve, or offensively getting ready to brake, speed up, swerve, and then speed up some more, but my mind without music is like your at a red light. At the light waiting for it to turn green. Nothing to really look out for except for the light to turn green, so my mind at this red light without music to occupy it can think of some crazy shit. The funny thing about it is that when I reach to work I sometimes forget every single thing I thought of along the way. Have that happened to you??

It is a dangerous game I play with my mind and sanity, but that's life. Peace!!!
