Methylenedioxymethamphetamine

Have you ever had an experience and thought that that's what doing drugs feels like?

I did recently, and it was not expected.

I miss playing trumpet...a lot. I've started listening to jazz and swing again recently and every time I do I'm in such a state of ecstasy. Ask my roommate. He's been there for some of it.

The craziest times happen when I'm listening to Cherry Poppin' Daddies swing cd Zoot Suit Riot. Their trumpet player is so go, and every time he hits a sick note or a sweet lick I just... to be honest I don't think words could do what happens justice.

I don't really know where that feeling comes from. Like I loved playing trumpet, but I wasn't addicted to it or anything. I don't know. Maybe I was.

Just thought I'd share.

Yay for good music... and "getting" it. I remember the first time I understood what all the fuss about Hendrix was... crazy.

In other news, and in response to your last post... why don't YOU just come right out and say it? Whatever it might be.
