What I've learned by rejecting the clock

The clock is a strange thing. It tells us what we should do and when we should do it, when in reality we don't always have to. Take, for example, this weekend. All-nighters along the bank of the Potomac River are basically the biggest blasts to reality possible. Now the next day was something entirely different, but if under my own jurisdiction completely, I would have simply slept from 8-2pm and then started the cycle all over again. Their is something mystical and revealing about the night that cannot be appreciated in the light of the full sun. It does not have to be sketchy; but discussion becomes more vivd, emotions heighten, and knowledge and information flows like warm honey. The water nearby also flows like warm honey. Fires and beverage also have a key role in helping things get going, but 50 mph wind does not. If I ever parcipitate in one of these again I will be wind-proofing the surrounding area.
Besides this short eclipse about the most random part of my weekend, I would like to continue to bash iTunes. Now for someone who is not OCD about music categorization accuracy, iTunes is awesome. Easy-to-use, so many help threads out there, pretty boss selection, iffy pricing - but hey- legal digital downloads are on the downward trend like crazy this last year. But if you'd like to know exactly what kind of music you are listening to, screw iTunes all the way. Go spend a few days on Wikipedia and absorb the collective knowledge of the nerds. The people of awesomesauce. After a few mellow days, you begin to pick up clues in the songs you are sorting through until you've got the genre-placing down to a science. Acoustic guitars and strange melodies, with yodel-ing voices and off the track lyrics send you to Folk Rock or something Indie. Synths, beats and other, otherwordly lyrics, with mixes of screeching and guitar riffs send you to something more like Symphonic Rock. Its a somewhat subjective art, as you get to decide which of the many genres listed you choose for your iTunes, but hey, its better than having part of your Pink Floyd be Alt Rock and the other half Singer/Songwriter, mislabeled by iTunes careless editors. That is all.
Tonight is a song night. I can feel it. I've got some strange new stuff to jam too. Lots of inspiration and mind freedom, and plenty of time to contemplate the state of the hail falling around me.
Cheers
