the only album i have on my ipod beginning with 'x' is coldplay's "x&y". i don't know why i am publicly admitting this, because i actively dislike coldplay's bland, generic rock. i don't know why, they're fairly inoffensive, but their music just doesn't grab me. i'm not sure if it's redeeming or not that i only have one track of the album on the 'pod - the eternally sappy 'fix you'. while i find it all a little banal, i am going to grow a pair and admit that i think the song has a time and place. the time: when wallowing in the most indulgent form of self-pity. the place: preferably somewhere where you won't be affecting others with your questionable taste and wallowing.
this morning was not that time, my bedroom was not that place. there was no way i was going to listen to that song. so i threw the experiment to the wind and decided it was perfectly acceptable, just this once, to skip past 'x'.
i'll be back on form for 'y' tomorrow.... almost there...
