Day 1

Ok, so I've decided to try and type this entry in while actually listening to my iPod. Hopefully it won't be too distracting.
Run DMC are blasting into my ears currently and I'm pretty annoyed that I can't just take out my earphones and listen to the Christian radio station that is playing in my office.
Ok, here goe anyway.
This morning when I arrived at work, I realised I left my bible somewhere and I can't quite remember where. Sheesh. I feel a bit vunerable knowing it's not here with me. My bible's pretty much my lifeline so I'm going to have to spend a fair bit of time in prayer today to help me feel close to God.
Hang on, rewind...
A bit about me - I love music. Like LOVE music. It's definitely my main communicative outlet and really effects me emotionally and spiritually. I know this right? and I still agreed to do this experiment where I... for week, only listen to music that has no Christian content and then the following week, I can only listen to God-inspired worship music.
Sounds weird right? Yep it is and a little extreme. But I'm really interested to see how it effects me. Especially knowing my tight connection with musical expression.
Anyhoo, I'm rambling. Basically I don't think I'm goign to enjoy this - only because it's restrictive. It's important though that I don't make assumptions or try to think too much about it.
So anyway, this morning has been ok. I listened to Triple J in the car on the way to work. I usually listen to a bit of 103.2 or listen to a christian CD. It was ok. I really enjoyed the music on the radio this morning.
Now I'm at work, the iPod has gone in and it's not too bad. I like a really wide variety of music - everything from Run DMC through to Def Leppard, James Blunt, Bjork, Sex Pistols and Alanis Morrisette. So it's weird and mashy and eclectic.
Alanis is ninging to me at the moment. She's telling me all about a broken relationship and how she is so thankful for all the awful things that have been done to her. I'm pretty sure she's being sarcastic...
Anyway, I'll log in a bit later on and let you know how things are going. So far so good. Just tryign to enjoy the music. Love my music...
