So there’s something that kind of popped into my head this morning and it’s another one of those outlook-on-life type of thoughts. I’m sure that there’s something very similar to this that someone else has discussed somewhere out there. While brushing my teeth this morning with the radio on in the background, it came to mind that life is like a huge music player where the stop, pause, rewind, and fast forward buttons don’t work. The only button that seems to work [the play button] is jammed in place and so there’s no choice but to keep going forward with whatever media is playing.

If your music player happens to be the radio, sometimes you’ll find a station that you’ll groove to and will be overcome by inspiration for a variety of things. Some stations of a different genre may speak the mood of your current situation(s), but eventually you’ll probably grow tired of it and will switch to a different station of a better liking; most of the times a station that is most similar to how you’re feeling. Some stations may be broadcasting totally weird content but maybe that’s the kind of thing that you need at that moment in time, and so it’ll eventually grow on you providing a new side about yourself that you’ve come to learn.

Now back to the stop, pause, rewind, and fast forward buttons and why they don’t function. If you’re a nerd [like me] and have taken any physics or engineering courses, you’ll know that energy cannot be created nor destroyed therefore the stop button could not exist [on a life aspect] because it would cease all energy [wave energy] coming out of the speakers. The pause button would be like an epic ice age where everything is frozen in time. There wouldn’t be any motion, except maybe on a nanoscopic level, but there’s no fun in that concept. If you can develop a better analogy then feel free to share. The rewind and fast forward buttons are in a sense like going back/forward in time, and we all know that it isn’t actually possible  to time travel [unless it’s documented somewhere where someone actually has done so but I highly doubt it; it would be cool though].

And so all that is left is the play button, which unfortunately/fortunately [depending on how you look at it] is jammed. You don’t really have a choice but to go with what you’re given and learn to deal with it, whether or not you’re into the song genre or not. Then again, you can always change out the cassette/cd/mp3 to your liking. Or you could just pull the plug/batteries and it would be over all together.

Anyways, I guess I’m going to end my flow of thoughts as they’re beginning to run low on this particular topic. Here’s a radio station that I like to start my days with. What’s yours?
