List of things that kick arse today.....

...because, yeah, I have mood swings.

Kickarse thing #1:
Recently discovering that you didn't fuck your hearing up in your youth as much as you feared you had and realising that means you can now spend your 30's trying to get your hearing like everyone else's of your age. Turn it up!

Kickarse thing #2:
Walking through the city bustle with New Order up way too loud inside noise cancelling headphones, and singing whatever you can remember of the words. Hey, they're noise-cancelling headphones. You don't have to hear the racket you're making, and if Mr Prada businessman next to you doesn't like it he can fuck himself.

Kickarse thing #3:
Realising that you're old enough to love New Order like the eighties just happened last night but not caring anyway.

Kickarse thing #4:
Coming into work in your own bubble. Smiling inanely without removing headphones or responding in any other way when colleagues greet you in the lift.

Kickarse thing #5:
Denial. As long as I keep these headphones on I am not at work. Nothing can touch me.
