"Everyone has those times when the night’s so long
The dead-end life just drags you down
You lean back under the microphone
and turn your demons into walls of goddamned noise and sound”
-Patterson Hood “Do It Yourself”
For some reason I had this Drive By Truckers song stuck in my head today, which is odd considering that for the most part I was in a great mood today. Anyways, what this song means to me is that whenever you are having a crap day it’s important to have some way to vent your frustrations in a positive way. Although I own a guitar, the damn thing has been gathering dust for about 3 years now so making walls of noise isn’t an option, but one of my positive outlets is working out. Now, I am in no way, shape or form a “gym rat”. However tonight I went to the gym and fucking raged it! I don’t know what it was or were this surge of energy came from, but when I was on the elliptical trainer and just let go and rocked it. I was also able to lift more weight more times than I have been able to in some time. Maybe my iPod was in a good mood also and we both wanted to listen to the same songs although it was on shuffle. Regardless, it felt great and whatever demon(s) that lay dormant within me just got a thorough ass kicking.
