one of the only times i DON'T miss taking the T to/from the office is after a long, somewhat bad day at work.
it's not because i want to be alone and decompress.
it's not because i like to take out my frustrations on my gas pedal to the peril of everyone else on the road
(okay, that may be a teensy bit true)
it's because i like to talk to myself in the car.
nuts?
well, whatever. when i feel frustrated i turn off the radio and i just bitch to myself for a few minutes. i bitch about my boss or about how there were no vanilla creamers left in the fridge or about how much i hate the new copy machine.
i bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch.
(better in my car than to Adam, right? I don't want to be the kind of person who comes home from work and does nothing but complain for an hour. i get it out in my car and i feel MUCH better, and then when i get home i pour a glass of wine and am all "life is fabulous!")
and then after a few minutes of bitching, i turn on the radio and i hope for a kick-ass, pump-me-up, song.
and last night my hope was not in vain.
when i randomly turned on 105.7...the opening lines of the greatest kick-ass, pump-me-up, apres-work song EVER.
just a small town girl...livin' in a lonely world
oh yes friends, that is Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING i am talking about. and if Steve Perry's magnificent voice singing "Streeeetlights! Peopppplllleeee!!!" can't make you forget about a bad and boring day than nothing can.
and then to make a good ride home even better, I found on 104.1 my Top Secret kick-ass, pump-me-up song "Learn to Fly"by the Foo Fighters. I am loathe to admit it, but it's true. That song makes me psyched about life. Really when you think about it's like a less womanly version of Annie Lennox's "Little Bird" (yet another fine kick-ass, pump-me-up song)
and now i ask the inevitable question: what is your kick-ass, pump-me-up song? what songs perks you right up when you are deperkolated?

November Rain, Guns N' Roses. Feel the pain baby, feel it.
Anything Journey will get me pumped. But really, Van Halen's Panama does the trick!
Actually, all DLR Van Halen gets me going. The Hagar years are iffy...
i'd have to think for awhile on my favorite kick-ass song, but i just have to say that you couldn't escape "don't stop believin" here in chicago for about 3 whole weeks around the world series. somehow, it was decided that it was the white sox theme song, and it was everywhere.
which was kinda all right with me.
a) i talk to myself in the car, too. sometimes i may or may not leave my cell phone earpiece in my ear so people don't think i'm crazy. tmi, i'm sure.
b) amphetemines or nocturnal, both by eve6 do it every time. or rebels of the sacred heart by flogging molly. or what's your fantasy by ludacris. :)
haha that is so not TMI! i often wish i had a cell phone for the EXPRESS purpose!
faint by Linkin Park. Pumps me up!
I SO talk to myself in my car...and I totally wish i had a cell phone earpiece!!
I just usually stop when someone comes up behind me.
The good thing of living in the somewhat country...not too much traffic to catch me being psyzophrenic.
Lately- any Mariah at all will work. I love hearing "Shake It Off" (it's very Jeannie's wedding to me now) and "My Humps"- Black Eyed Peas. oh, and I get so psyched for "GOld Digger"- Kanye West. He stole my heart when he danced with his mom on Oprah.-andy b
