Lists

Today I find myself wanting to say about a million things.  It starts with a wish list of all the things I wish I had and all the things I wish I could change.  Of course, the list of things I wish I could change is entirely up to me.  I can change those….I am just too lazy.  Apparently this is going to end up as a list of things I list; therefore making it a list in and of itself.

I wish people would use their blinkers.  I drive the freeway a lot.  A LOT.  I like to be nice to merging traffic, if they are nice to me.  To be nice to me, all you have to do is use your blinker and not come to a complete stop at the beginning of the entrance ramp and sit there letting traffic pile up behind you.  You have a whole lane to work with – you work with it, I will work with you.  As long as you use your blinker J .

I have a list of blog ideas on my iPhone.  I also have a list of titles for chapters if I ever write a book.  I never thought of myself as a list person.  I guess I am.  I could list all the ways to get out of yard work in one year.  I could list all the reasons not to buy a house. I could list all the reasons to buy a house. Apparently I am in the mood to list all the things I could list about.

Nice?  That word sure can start a rant all on its own.  Maybe another day?  What is wrong with being nice?  This means I now have started a list of single words that can trigger an emotion.

Someone today told me they have migraines that are triggered by guitar solos.  I couldn’t imagine.  I couldn’t imagine not listening to some of my favorite people & bands because they have too many guitar solos.  The list of who I would miss would be endless.  Starting with Lyden Moon, Joe Satriani, Steve Ray Vaughn…and those are just guitarists… Could you imagine if I have to include Van Halen, Metallica, Quiet Riot or Ozzy in the no play list?  Death would surely be near.

A list of songs that are “grrr” songs.  Or angry songs. Not because I am angry or because the songs themselves are angry but because they just encourage release.   Some artists on the list include Evanescence, Breaking Benjamin, Marilyn Manson. Motorhead and MegaDeath.

A list of travel songs.  Songs you can not hit the road without.  Or songs when you hear them make you want to hit the road.  Kenny Chesney’s Road and the Radio is the top of this list. 

I have a list of pass codes into people’s garages.  I guess people trust me.

I have a list of qualities of a perfect man for me.  It is a short list.  Be nice to me (there is that nice word again) and have a job.  I guess this is too much to ask because I have a list of guys who don’t make the list.

I have a list of things I want to buy.  What person doesn’t?  It starts with a gun.  I of course have a list of reasons I want a gun.

I have a list of people I could not live without.  And of course a list of those I could.

I have a list of books & movies that are must sees and must reads for everyone.

I have a list of why it is okay to like bad movies.   

This temporarily concludes my list of lists.
