Drop it.

Farewell, we had a good time, but now this relationship has gone too far and become too dependent. With a little click, drag and drop it was over. I had considered the drop earlier, but a few minutes ago I decided it was enough. Into the trash, there it went. Gone, hopefully for a long time. Limewire had to go. In the future the music blasting through my speakers will either be from the online radio or music I have bought. Last time I bought a CD... well, the memory fails me. On Tuesday, on my way back from Action Aid that lies in the "Sofo" area of Stockholm (yes, our equivalent of Soho), I backtracked on one of the smaller streets. I happened to walk past a second hand record store. It was a different sensation touching the covers of these older records. The Beatles, Led Zeppellin, Brigitte Bardot, T-Rex... None of the hurried downloading that gives you ANY music you want at ANY time, ANYwhere. This was quality. Buying one of the records would be like taking a small risk. Initially I might not like all the songs, but there might be a hidden surprise, some might grow on me. I might give each song a little more time, after all, money had been spent on it... there might be more to the song. If I get too impatient, i-Tunes store will provide me with the music, but this time I would be supporting the artist.

Plans for next year are starting to see a brighter light... hopefully I'll be able to post a full update of where I'm going soon ;)
