Its been a slow start. Earlier this week, our router died so we didn't have any Internet at home. Also, I took my work teens to cirque du soleil, getting home around 1 am ( by the way , Kooza is a great show...a little on the dirty side but great!) So, on the 1st I purged my cd collection.
I have emptied 69 cd's out of my cd cases. Some were in real need to being tossed. My cd's have survived ( or not ) many trips to Belize and the sand and dirt in a cd player, not to mention my own carelessness. These were easy to get rid off.
Then there were the others. The cds that have memories and dreams attached which have been let go of or need to be let go of. Janet Jackson's the Velvet Rope is most likely the best example of this. I have always wanted to be a background dancer or singer performer and this is largely in part of seeing janet jackson performer for her first time on the American Music Awards. Letting the cd go (and grief, writing this is making me regret my decision!) was sort of like deciding to let go of old dreams and getting ready for my next stage of life. I now have a wife and two kids and my dreams have now morphed into family dreams.
I'm still thinking all this through though...i mean...if janet jackson were to call and say she need a background dancer for her next tour...yeah...i would consider! : )
