Nuts and Bolts

So music has always been a big part of my life: I began taking piano lessons when I was five years old and continued on until I was 18. I was raised in church singing hymns every Sunday and went on to sing in choirs in Bible college and university. Usually if I am in my bedroom for longer than 2 minutes I automatically put music on even if it is just the radio. When I cannot sleep I put music on. When I need to relax, I put music on. When I am upset or frustrated or sappy or whatever else mood I am in I either play songs on the piano that match my mood or play music in my stereo that matches my mood. Any way you put it, music moves me. As I was standing in church on Sunday I was thinking about how music moves me. When I am worshipping I often sway or bounce or just "creatively wiggle" to the music. You know how at church Christmas pagents there is always the one little kid that steals the show by just dancing his or her heart out as he or she attempts to carry a tune? That kid was me. I loved to wiggle and "dance" when I sang. I would even stand on the pews and dance when I was little. That was all fun and good when I was younger because you are not expected to dance well when you are a kid but now that I am older I realize there's a problem with my dancing.....I think I am a Black person who was born in a white Mennonite body. I just want to be able to groove and dance to the music but I've got no rhythm sometimes. Its like some great dancer had bad karma and was reincarnated into this body as punishment. I mean, really what could be worse for an experienced dancer than to be stuck in a white Mennonite body. That's two strikes against the musical soul. white hips just don't move that good and the word "dance" does not exist in the Mennonite vocabulary!

As if that were not enough randomness/pointlessness, here are more random thoughts:
-one of the things I really hate about winter is when you open your car door and the snow falls onto the seat and even though you try to brush it off you inevitably end up sitting in some snow and you get a wet bum
-I hate when the snow blows in my eyes. I think I need to wear ski goggles to prevent that
-I hate the ice that comes with winter.....already had my first wipeout today....really hoping I don't resprain my ankle again
-Lynette looks like a yeti when she wears a fur hat. I almost peed myself laughing at her. She made my night tonight.
-Brewster's BBQ wings and I just do not get along
-the person who invented low rise jeans should be hunted down and actually forced to wear them. I doubt the creator actually ever wears them because they are so annoying! I think the creator should be made to wear the low cut jeans and a short shirt and go through a Canadian winter like that without a jacket. That would teach him or her.
-soap operas are really simple when compared to real life.
-Lynette looks cute in mitts: ahhh little people.
-It was awesome to see Craig this weekend
-I like my hair in braids
