Although this is my first rendition of this subject matter, I've been doing this for awhile. Running high that is. I have a nice section of Canyon Dr. that I found, that I like to smoke first and run afterward. As I do, I find the urge to dance and play with the songs that I'm listening to. That's why the playlist itself is so important.
I've built two playlists now. Running Classic (which is like the Bitcoin to my playlists). The second one, this one, is called Running Ghost. Sort of a hard fork to Running Classic. I built it after I was thinking about a particular song from Radiohead but couldn't find it anywhere in my music library. I had to download it. Eventually it was Nude which is track one as you can see. I built the rest of the playlist using this song and a frankenstein of Running Classic but, eventually pieces slipped away and I was able to construct something that made sense. It may not have the certainty of Running Classic but, it finds itself and packs an experience.
Tonight I'm trying out this new strain of weed called Gelato OG. It's an organic hybrid that leans Indica. I've been running with Indica for a bit of time. The hybrids tend to treat you better, so we'll see.
And now for an image break.
WELL I'M BACK
That was a good one, for sure. A really pure experience. I think that's the first time I heard Running Ghost all the way through with everything right. It felt pretty good. The thing goes for 49 minutes. It's a heart pumper for sure and this stuff absorbs a lot of shock. This Gelato OG.
There are a number of things working inside of this playlist. First, it started completely different. I wish I kept better records of this one but for about a month and change, it just kind of sat there, untouched, collecting little dustbytes. Maybe longer than that, while I was trying to perfect Running Classic which, btw, I have to listen to that next. I've never listened to that one all the way through knowing its the finished product.
Anyway, I saw a few cars this evening. Right before I went out, we were put on amber alert looking for a gray jeep renegade, License plate 8DQT883. I was on the look out. A cop drove by during Dollars and Cents. I often feel like I'm dissolving during Dollars & Cents in to literal dollars and cents. I imagine my body broken up into coins. All valued differently. Because that's pretty much what he's saying. We are the dollars and cents, we are coins, we are tradable, we are what makes up something bigger.
Which other thing jumps out to me? Oh, I ran beyond the playlist and tried to find another song to stick afterward. But I don't think it needs it. It's a good eleven songs.
Anyway. Until next time.
