the other day i was humming one of my favourite songs where it occured to me that the song i was humming was not actually on my iPod. i had no desire what so ever to even download or rip it from the original CD that i have to iTunes etc. i was wondering why this was. why was it that i have an iPod full of music and how important it is for me to have storage capacity so i can have as many songs as possible at my disposal yet a song that means so much to me i was happy to hear on the radio by chance once every few years. the answer is the more important a song the less the desire to hear it so often. to me there are movies, songs, and even friends, that have earned such a place in my heart that there is no need to to see or hear them all the time
one of my favourite movies is cinema paradiso and i only ever saw it once until the other night when by chance i came across it on ABC2. i was delighted to see it again but that movie has such a place in my heart that i dont want to spoil it by seeing it more times than i need to. the same i spose goes with your favourite meal. the more times you eat it the less of a delicacy it becomes
i'm starting to wonder if i really do need access to anything at any time. time will tell i spose, but for now i should just be happy that i can listen to the rolling stone magazine top 500 songs of all time whilst pretending to do work. there was no way i'd be able to do this less than a decade ago
