something that helps me sleep

get pushed #35 - splash of colour

i think this is the hardest get pushed challenge that ever came my way. i have no clue if i'm getting this right, so ashley @paign i hope this satisfies your push/challenge.

this is my sony walkman. someone asked me "do those things still exist?" yes, the sony walkman does still exist only it's not the walkman we used to know where we insert those pesky cassette tapes and could only play 12 or 15 songs. these days the sony walkman can play up to a thousand or more songs while you watch a video or movie, depending on the size or capacity of the model. "is that right?" someone inquires. oh, yes!

this is new. my old walkman is cherry red but it died on me the other day because it's been in service almost every night since i had this idea of having music to put me to sleep. mind you, it does, but it also wakes me up, especially when it reaches the 's' artists, specifically santana and the song 'evil ways'. so santana and his music were promptly removed from the playlist. the music also makes me dream as in actual dreaming of something that has happened in the past and i've forgotten about, i suppose because it unconsciously triggers forgotten events or people or things. so many songs, and mostly i couldn't listen to them because i'd be asleep.

like who has the time to listen to a thousand songs? and this one isn't even halfway full! so many songs to listen to, so little time!

thank you for your kind views and comments; they are truly appreciated, especially these days when the stars have converged to piss me off - laptop is playing stupid since last week, and then this morning, i hurt my back so i can't sit down for long. yup! everything's falling apart, even me!
@paign - 3rd attempt for your push. thanks.

I remember the old walkmans. Pretty neat to see a new one. Feel better soon I know what a sore back is all about

@cheribug - 8-track?!? kid, that's old! i do have a betamax tape though. hahahaha. i don't know what to do with it these days, it has that famous jane fonda exercise thingy, which i'm hoping i could have transferred into dvd. i have a "mini-iPod" which still works but i like the walkman as this is a lot lighter, even with the speakers on. thank you, cheryl.

@bkbinthecity - thank you, brian. yup, this back's showing the manufacturer's defects. we could look young but inside it's undeniably getting old.

I used to be able to fall asleep to music but now I "hear" all the instruments and my mind begins to engage itself. Next thing you know I'm awake listening to the intricacy of the parts! I like the color of this- I think you hit your get-pushed challenge's nail on the head here.
