I don’t understand why music helps people in so many different ways. Music is a godsend. I have been thinking about my Ipod lately. It has been about three months since it has been stolen. My car was broken into while I was at work. At the time I worked in uptown Cincinnati. This is about a block away from a city called Over the Rine. If you have ever seen the movie “Traffic” one third of the movie was filmed in that town. It was the town were the rich kids went to get their heroin. There is a lot of crime there and bad people. I did feel at times like my life was that movie. I did the same exact thing as those kids did. I even bought dope in some of the exact spots that were shown in the movie. This movie in no way over estimated the dangers or degree of drugs. It is just like you see in the movie. In some ways I can’t believe I ever went there on a daily basis to buy drugs, but I did. I risked it all for nothing. In the end I have nothing for it.
I was just thinking about my first Bonnaroo. For those of you who don’t know what I am talking about it is a music festival that happens in Manchester, Tennessee. Http://www.bonnaroo.com . It was 2002 the very first Bonnaroo. My eyes were finally opened for the first time in my life. The culture of jam bands is so unique and I am glad to have been a part of it, other than the drug use. The highlight of my first Bonnaroo was Moe.’s 9 hour set that started at midnight and lasted till the sun came up on Sunday morning. It was one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life, and I will go to my grave with it.
I think I am going through music withdraw as well, Can you imagine you whole music collection gone in a flash. I have no back up but, I do have a friend who is willing to help me out once I am able to buy a new pod. Thinking about buying an 160 gig. I think I could fill it up with in a few years. By then I’m sure I will be ready for a bigger one. But for right now I am limited to the few CD’s I have scrounged up. It will get me through. But I can totally go for a phat Umphree’s set right now that I don’t have access to.
I guess the last couple of days have not been so bad. The only thing I can complain about was all the sudden there was a PA put on my Suboxone. Which I learned means that the Doc has to fill out some paper work, the insurance company is questioning weather I need it or not! What do you think? So I have been trying to get a nurse from my doc’s office to call me back for a few days now, I guess I have not been persistent enough. Well I am going to try to sleep. pol
