23: twos

i'm not double jointed. i used to think i was, but that was only because i was able to turn both my arms all the way around - 360 degrees. it was awesome, i couldn't have asked for more 5th-grade-fame than that.

but let's talk about music straight out of the turn of the century for a bit, since i feel like sometimes my brain is double jointed and able to think about several things at once. train: drops of jupiter. it's beautiful. while their albums are somewhat passable, meaning i skip most of the songs to get to one or two that i like, that song is incredibly powerful. it's no wonder it won all the awards it did. now when i hear some sappy love songs on the radio, my mind always reverts back to drops of jupiter, and how nothing really quite measures up in my mind to the breadth and feeling of that song.

some say that we will listen to music later in life that we grew up on. i think i'm feeling this about that song to a certain extent. it filled in such an odd gap in my life: middle school. that'll probably be a later topic, so it can wait.
