It's just the normal noises

So... I was driving into Fort Wayne... driving Isaac's '97 Lumina... turned on the radio (I so seldom listen to the radio, or any kind of music, anymore)... first was Jimi Hendrix, then AC/DC, Tom Petty, ZZ Top... and so on. It was like... yesterday... and I smiled. I was all alone. A big grin on a bench seat with a cross hanging from the rear view mirror. Two pop cans crammed under the side of the passenger seat. A pipe cleaner heart is wedged in the dash near the speedometer. I don't know how fast I was going. I almost thought I saw a box of cornpuffs on the golf course.

Anyway, I forgot that we got tickets to see Tom Petty in July. I am pumped. I'm also pumped to see who's opening for him, (Steve Winwood) but I can't for the life of me think who it is right now. I just heard tonight that it's sold out. Yeahhhh.

A line I use a lot is "It's just the normal noises..." It comes from Tom's Damn The Torpedoes album; right before one of my favorite songs, "Even the Losers" (even the losers get lucky sometime). I don't really know what it means, but some girl says, "It's just the normal noises in here." I usually use it to describe something that's, I don't know... not out of the ordinary. Kinda like my latest little fallout. It's stuff that happens. Don't worry. It'll get better. "Even the Losers" had a lot to do with my general makeup, I think. Not like rouge or lipstick, but... how I thought. What I'm like. Passion.

Right now I'm listening to Radio Paradise - eclectic online rock radio on the computer. So far the songs have been pretty good. I don't know why I never listen to music. I love music. But I sit in silence almost all day long. Every day. I like silence too. Maybe because I usually hear music anyway.

It's just the normal noises, and I don't think I'm making any sense. Yeah.
