Want Ads

So, this is a two-parter. Everyone has wants and needs, yeah? This first post is the want section, represented here by a small bunch of tunes. It seems that I have more songs about wants than needs. I wonder how accurate that is in real life? I suppose that it is a fare observation that although we may have more wants, our needs are, ultimately, the things we achieve to greater satisfaction. Of course, one would imagine it's also easier to meet your needs than wants, so why spend too much time looking for needs? The wants are the true challenge...







Dunno...anyhoo, to the music!

Time flies...

Time is of the essence.
Time is relative.
Time is on our side.
Time is money.
Time is...

Well, time is something we all wish we had more of, yet we don't really worry too much about wasting it. It's kind of odd that way. Cher wishes she could turn back time, but would that really be such a good idea? I, for one, am quite content in the time I've had and wouldn't want to change it for any reason.

Einstein once said, "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." I disagree in that I think another reason for time is to adequately organise your lifespan and gauge how far you've come. Without time, we'd have no idea when the good times happened or how long it had been since we thought about that bad stuff. We wouldn't be able to miss anyone since we would have no concept of how long we'd been away from them. I think that would suck.

Of course, I'm partially known for my more morose thought process so I may not be the proper person to discuss these things. So, on that note...let's get to some tunes. I know what you're all saying...
