So it's not quite Friday yet, but I thought I'd get this out there. I'll try to devote Fridays to music and posting interesting songs-- hopefully with a "flashback" retro theme, but it probably will just be some awesome song that I want to share with everyone.
Shirley Manson of the band Garbage is one of my heroes--hands down. When I was a teenager, she was the epitome of cool, and she still is! When I first heard this song, it reminded me of my best friend. She and I share this love of trains, but she used to ride the subways of New York aimlessly for absolutely no reason except to ride the damn train. She's awesome. But now that we're both grown up, the travel bug, has hit us harder than normal. Especially me. Life hasn't turned out the way I expected, and I think when you're young and jaded, you want the world to fill those expectations you always imagined as a child. Life should be about adventure, exploring, and feeling big emotions. Maybe I should take some cues from Ms. Manson here... she's got the right idea.
"Find out who you are, before you regret it. Cuz life is so short, there's no time to waste it..."
