My Blogging is Like My Bowel Movements, Irregular!
They Come From A Land Down Under
It occurs to me that because I constantly strive to be perfect, and not just post non-sense on here, I will often go weeks with out posting. I mentioned to Rey today, that I had not posted in a while cause I was tired of my own self-deprecating humor. Seriously, my attitude about life needs some adjusting – and making light of myself, really isn’t helping. But I have to admit it has made for some funny posts, right?
“So then what do I write about?” - I’ve wonder to myself. Is it better to write about nothing, than to never have written at all?
One suggestion Rey made was to post the soundtrack to my life. Anyone who knows me well knows that Music (Makes the People Come Together) is very important to me.
Thank you Apple for inventing the I-pod shuffle. This pocket-sized bundle of joy makes it easy for me to transport about 150 of my favorite songs – thus keeping a soundtrack to my life always at hand.
My song selection varies from month to month, hell from minute to minute. I have OCD when it comes to new music. I’ll play a CD to death; I think I have actually scratched some CD’s from over use (can you do that?)!
Currently, Delta Goodrem is providing part of the soundtrack to my life. She is a #1 selling pop star in Australia. Thanks to my neighbor, I have discovered her music. Currently, she is living in NYC right now recording an album for release in the US – I must meet her. I am so looking forward to its release later this year. One song in particular, “Fragile” has been getting heavy rotation.
As if one Australian Pop star isn’t enough, I am also hooked on Vanessa Amorosi. Her albums came out about 4 years ago. But again, thanks to the same neighbor, I am just discovering her music as well. I love, love, love both albums that I recently added to my collection. She is just fun and poppy…just the way music is meant to be.
The last stop on my musical journey to Australia is Guy Sebastian – the 1st Australian Idol. I fell in love with his single “All I Need Is You” way back when it came out, but just recently acquired it for my collection.
All this talk about Australia makes me think about two men who passed through my life. Aussie Man One and Aussie Man Two. Both men hold special places in my heart…although I could never really be with either. Number one live in NYC, but he is in a 6-year relationship, and number two lives in Australia – we met while he was inNYC on holiday last fall.

I still think between Nightmare of You, Say Anything (the band, not the movie), and Panic! at the Disco, I'd have my whole soundtrack right there... in three easy to find albums.
I checked out Delta Goodrem last year while I was in London and loved her... but I forgot about her as quickly as I forgot the exchange rate. I should re-check her out.
