noise


i went for a run this morning, but i skipped the 25 degree fahrenheit morning and drove to the gym to run on a treadmill. i normally abhor this, but it had been 3 days since my last run and i needed it. not that this is anything earth shattering, but i've timed several tracks on a playlist to hit at certain moments during my 33 minute run. the last song is a track from silversun pickups called lazy eye. now, i have realized that this song was quite popular a little while back, but it is new to me, so i'm not too concerned. at around 3:23 into the song (sorry is this too general?) the vocals bleed away and droning guitars crescendo into a voluminous head filling noise. i put my finger on the speed button of the treadmill and went into a full out sprint for the last minute. there is something so cathartic about a mindless explosive run, especially when you are not running away from someone who is trying to kill you, or sell you a rose outside a restaurant. it was one of those moments, with the guitars screaming, the drums crashing and my feet pounding the treadmill that my life almost had a soundtrack. but then, most days it does, inside. in that moment, anything and everything is possible. lets make it so we feel this way all the time. ok.
