Different Moods

Do you ever think about your different moods? I'm not talking about hormonal mood swings or the happy, sad, mad type moods. For instance, I go through moods when I am in the car where I don't feel like listening to music. I'll listen to Dax Shephard's Armchair Expert, Smartless with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, or Scientology: Fair Game with Leah Remini. I just need the simplicity of listening to someone talk. 

I used to listen to Joss Stone back in the day. She recently popped up in my memory and I have been listening to her songs in the car. I just need to sing and feel her voice pierce through my soul. I close my eyes so that I am actively listening (only at red lights). I feel like I could have written the lyrics to Jet Lag, 4 & 20, and Spoiled. I highly recommend her music. I am also obsessed with James Arthur's Say You Won't Let Go. When he says "I'm gonna love you 'til my lungs give out," I sing like I'm Whitney Houston. 

Sometimes I just need some gangsta rap. I find that when my anxiety is high, I need loud music. So loud, I put in earbuds. Maybe I am trying to calm the noise in my head? Certainly, it can't be helping my anxiety. It's probably having an adverse effect. I have found that Wayne's song A Milli has really good bass in my car. Oh! I bet that song would have killed in my first car. I had a Chevrolet Spectrum. It was a two-door with a hatchback.  It sort of looked like this. Mine was black with black hubcaps. My dad spray painted them.

Hali and I were driving last week and saw a hubcap on the side of the road. We laughed because I told her there were many times that my hubcap would fall off and I would watch it roll down the street. I would have to go back and get it. Those things move fast! I bought speakers for the car. You don't get the rattle of the trunk when you have a hatchback. I was in high school, leaving my boyfriends house on Nevada, and two police officers pulled out in front of me on their bikes. No...no. Not, motorcycles. Bicycles. I'll never forget that ticket was $250. 

Is it more than just the mood you're in or is it something deeper? I mean I am always in the mood for Mexican food. I am not always in the mood for Italian or chicken wings.
