Not enough time to listen to music!!!
 
I work 9 hours a day, and this doesn't leave me enough time. I'm sure there is a lot I am missing musically. I would also like to read more...:( What to do? I'm 27, my parents can't support me anymore. At one time I was using my headphones at work, but I can't anymore, because I work in a team and it doesn't look good.

my minions are used to me sighing, pushing stop and barking WHAT?!?

I've often considered making them stand and wait until the song's over.

:o

I want to answer every line of this post, one by one. I would say you were King Troll but I know you are genuine.

I shall be keeping a close eye on you matey boy.

But to answer one point: get new parents. What's their chuffing problem not wanting to support their grown up child.

You may be 27 and want the dignity of not leeching off of your parents for the rest of your life but they don't know that.:rolleyes:

Wear some of these and see if your team doesn't think you look good. (Get your tightwad parents to fork out for once).

We're all missing a lot musically. We're also all hurtling towards death and could probably do with a bit more exercise (to hold the inevitable off for a bit longer). Accentuate the positive. Go for a run with your new fancy headphones.

That's an easy one. Read more.

Read shorter books if that helps.

Some people on here just read comics. They whizz through them (lots of pictures - it's a trick see?).

floatingslowly 03.12.2010 09:37 AM

I'll have you know that I read comics for the stories! :mad:

even like the 17:27 of "Sister Ray"? or the 1.316 seconds of "You Suffer" from Napalm Death ?

floatingslowly 03.12.2010 11:55 AM

oh man! I don't have the 17+ version of Sister Ray. want. :(

they aren't forced to listen because I use headphones.

my headphones are always in my ears (even on my ID badge). it's the universal language for "leave me alone".

floatingslowly 03.12.2010 11:58 AM

ps: I'm taking the rest of the day off to listen to music!

first up is Dangermouse vs Sparklehorse. :(

my problem is, depending on the song, I'm often compelled to start it over if interupted.

last week, I listened to song Lust by The Raveonettes, 13 times in a row.

thankfully, right now, I'm in my garage and couldn't possibly be disturbed.

I am guilty of listening to a song over and over just cause I like it so much and especially when I am interupted.
