Grindle Thoughts: My POD!

Yesterday I decided that I would only listen to my ipod on shuffle since I have over 4,000 songs and listen to the same albums over and over. I quickly found myself skipping to the next song repeatedly while I was driving because I didn't want to listen to what was playing. Then a song that I love came on that I hadn't listened to in a long time. This song started to stir up memories of when I would be listening to this song. Everyone has an item or two that when they look at it strikes up a memory from their past. Most of the time that is why people keep certain items for a long time. For me music holds all of my memories since I always have it playing, whether in my car, while cutting grass, or just lounging around at home.

When I was in college, my parents lived 10 hours away and I would have my ipod blaring the whole drive. I am the type of person who makes playlists by album, not by song. So i would compile a list of albums that would last 10 hours and listen/sing the whole way there. I literally mean the whole way there. When I would arrive at my parents house, they would laugh at me because I would be hoarse from singing 10 hours straight. So when ever I hear a song that was in that playlist it takes me back to the good ole days. If you were to play a song from my ipod, I could probably tell you what was going on in my life the day I listened to that song. I could tell you what the weather was like, where I lived, who I was dating, who I was mad at, where I worked, who was in my car with me, etc.

With all of that said I thought I would share some of my favorite albums that were on the playlist. If you have never listened to these albums, please look them up on itunes and give them a listen or just click on them.
