Day Three Hundred and Twenty - If God Is A DJ...

When I first met Joseph I was incredibly shocked to see his CD "collection." I say "collection" because it was all of eight CDs. At the time my CD collection was well over two hundred and growing on an almost weekly basis [despite having no money, I always found money to buy CDs]. I questioned him about it and found out that some of his collection were gifts - so maybe he wasn't particularly interested in that group/musician [and now I count some of his CDs in my collection as I like them more than he does]. It seemed beyond bizarre, but Joseph was just not interested in music. Huh. Whenever people are asked to list their interests - inevitably music is in the top few. Or people make claims about music - that it's "their life" or in some fashion extra meaningful [please note - you might really enjoy music, but that in no way makes you special]. Joseph is way more of a weirdo for genuinely not being too bothered about music [and I say weirdo in the most loving of ways - it's a compliment]. And honestly, over the past few years I've become a lot less interested in music - mostly because I'm some old fuddy duddy who is only interested in older stuff.

Joseph and I both have shiny new Zunes [and they really are shiny]...and mostly Joseph's has sat on one of our bookcases. Well, he is going away on business this coming week so I decided it would be nice if he had some entertainment with him [in addition to Nintendo DS of course]. So tonight I uploaded music on to someone else's MP3 player. At the moment I have no idea what Joseph thought of my selections, but I did load on over 225 songs, so there is a good mix [including some incredibly girlie music, so I hope no one was listening too closely to his earphones while on the plane]. On my own MP3 player I'm constantly changing things so I load on entire albums. With Joseph's I mostly avoided whole albums [with a few exceptions - David Bowie, older Garbage and older Pulp] and added selected songs. Thankfully with Zune it's *so* much easier to do this than with my other MP3 player - also, it's super fast.
