When I’m not tapped into a music stream. I like quiet no - let’s be exact, I like silence ear plugs in - deafening quiet or better yet, noise cancelled anti-sound That’s relatively new technology My mom mentioned new studies suggest it may rewire things gray matter wise, you know, behind the eyes like the patterns sound forms in sand. But if you’re going to scramble my mind your going to have to wait in line behind bland 21-year-old issues like: sleep deprivation hormonal fluctuations romantic fog case study competitions business model design games (REALGAME) deductive logic puzzles irritability and mood swings mental bandwidth anxiety cognitive confusion information overload assignment stress premenstrual syndrome compulsive coping mechanisms career anxiety sexual frustration multitasking shifts (schedule) canon events (existential dilemmas) culture shock (new environment) feeling “scrambled” family pressures So, yeah. let’s fn Jettison headphone worries - MOM - shall we??! . . Right Now by The Creatures A Girl In Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing) by Romeo Void Your Turn to Run by Malaria!

<3 . Geeze! You got quite a list there. You win that contest! . . . Being half deaf, I’m usually wearing hearing aids. They provide the benefit of hearing speech, almost correctly. I enjoy turning them all the way down when I’m not engaged in my usual conversations of upmost importance. I don’t achieve silence :-( . It’s like the muffled far away sound you hear underwater. I prefer it to the ambient noise in the air around me, and the noise emanating from many people’s mouths.

Was it the head-bangin' years - the decades of following the Black Sabbath tour around the county? I listen to so much music that I'll probably be half deaf someday too. My first concert in 2016, was Justin Bieber, I was 13 and our seats were right up front next to these HUGE speakers - it was painful, luckily after the first ear-ripping song, Charles pulled out earplugs for everyone. Now I keep earplugs in my purse. What's that commercial - don't go anywhere without 'em? =]

Let's just make sure we're squeezing in 3 square meals a day and at least 7-8 hours sleep per night kiddo (mom voice)

3 meals? 7 or 8 hours sleep? Ha! On a weekend, maybe.
