but lord have mercy, this month has been hell.
ive been trying to find some sort of enlightenment in each day, some sort of little lesson to be had with each and every new day. it's almost a waste to go through an entire 24 hours (and if you're like me, you go through those 24 mostly awake) without discovering something or learning something new. so here i am, sharing my enlightening experience of the day to the random few that sporadically follow along.
it's really a silly sort of comfort to hear a song come on and realize you know all the words, not because you've desperately listened to it on repeat after buying a cd, or because it's one of the top 100 or something, but because you've absentmindedly listened to it more then enough times over a significant amount of time.
i found myself in this situation today. it was something like comfort to realize i know all the words to more than a handful of songs playing in the coffee shop- the melodies, the harmonies, the clicks and beats and what all comes with it. maybe the comfort is in familiarity. or maybe the comfort is imaginary, because i'm sitting in a tullys, and i swear to god they've had the same playlist since i started and stopped working for them.
really, tullys.
you've been playing "anchored down in anchorage" for a long time. as far as i can tell, it's been on your playlist since 2006. the same can be said for a handful of eighties one-hit wonders and a few undiscovered tracks that will probably never make it big.
it's not bad.
but.
come one. it's been almost two years since i've left your company.
not much has changed? i've included a photo of myself circa 2007 when i had no hair and wore a tully's apron.
check it.

i feel like that alot but instead of finding things to enlighten me i try to put myself into perspective
eehyeah. i've mostly had a love/hate relationship with this coffee company (tullys), and whenever i go back to one of the stores, it makes me laugh because i used to hate all the songs and now... they just kind of make me smile because the words are all embedded in my memory forever. i probably shouldn't go back to them at all... (the company screwed a handful of us over when it was close to declaring bankruptcy a few years back)...and now this new love/hate relationship has emerged.
but you're right--- here, there's no sort of enlightening experience to be gained. putting things into perspective (like understanding that i'm no longer legally bound to the company and don't have any real reason to be bitter toward it) is probably the best route to run down.
actually.
you've shed some light on thing (much more than can be written down).
