things that rock: day 16

day 16: driving

i love the feel of the open road. its glorious. roll down the windows, open the sunroof and blast the tunes. now, i will admit that im a fast driver and sometimes can be quite aggressive. but its out of the pure love of driving and taking pleasure in getting somewhere quick! that and getting as far away from dumb drivers as possible.

something i have gotten into is making "cruisin' cds" to accompany every drive made. most recently, i have moved away from my typical pop punk rock songs and incorporated more towards indie dance rock like phoeniz and miike snow. a great soundtrack can take any mundane trip and make it awesome. spontaneous sing-a-longs and dance sessions in a car while driving become commonplace. not only that, but there is nothing better than pulling up alongside another car and getting them to dance along with you. happy finger pointing and fist pumping become the barometer of how awesome your trip is.

i love driving so much. to the gym, to the store, to move my car from one street to the next to avoid a ticket... its all money.
