For last week

I got to spend the entire day Saturday at the Utah State Drill team competition. Okay, maybe not the whole day, but I spent a good 6 or 7 hours sitting on my rear end and listening to music blasted at the highest level.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE drill team and dance and I just have to go to State every year because I miss it soooo much, but holy crap they can get boring! I think this was the first year I ever really felt sorry for my family and friends that came to support me at every single stinking competition for 4 years. By the end of the day, every song sounds the same and every dance looks the same. When I drove home, I had to put the music on near silent because I just couldn't take it. I was on music overload.

I get that way every once and a while. I just get to the point where I'm not interested in any of the songs that I own and I can't stand any songs on the radio. It's like I'm constantly listening to music, every second of every day. My alarm clock is music, I listen to music walking to and from and in between classes, I listen to music while I drive, we have to blast music at work, and when I'm home with nothing to do I have to sing or play my guitar. AH!

Music is amazing, but sometimes silence can be a good thing too.
