Sometimes I want music to reflect my mood, sometimes to adjust it.
For me not turning to it would be like not grabbing a life preserver when I'm drowning.
But it's not always conventional mood stuff.
For example, I can find aggressive music to be therapeutic when I'm down.

O yes, aggressive music can have very positive effects. I've experienced that myself as well. E.g. Seeing a death metal band live in 1994, without knowing the genre that well, it gave me a huge boost. I'd even go further by saying that metal and punk(rock) music can make people feel stronger, give them more confidence, and form own character, in a positive way. It learns you to not follow the masses so easily and go your own way.

If anyone here is also on reddit, they're doing a daily listen-through of the entire catalog at www.reddit.com/r/ironmaiden
It's a really cool way to take an in-depth look and listen to just one song at a time. Here's the collection thread with links to each individual one so far: https://www.reddit.com/r/ironmaiden/comments/4iinpw/iron_maiden_listen_through_collection_thread/

Start the new job next Tuesday .. their office is in San Francisco, so my office is my house. Maiden t-shirts and shorts are the new dress code .. with a dress shirt on my coat rack in case there is a video call .. just need to stay seated the entire meeting. Really looking forward to this. I probably need to fly out there once a month for a few days, but my daughter is going to school in that area, so I'll fly out early or late and spend a few days with her and my office will be some hotel room.

Yeah, this is the job I wanted to get last year, but it did not work out (same job, different companies). I would have either had to travel 4 days a week every week or move .. neither of which I could/wanted to do. As an added bonus a pretty big bump in pay and fewer hours than I am working now (and I am hourly, so if I work more, I get paid for it). Going to get my project list next week, so a Europe trip to see Maiden is looking better and better. Shooting for Oslo!
Thats great!!! Congrats on the job!
That's amazeballs. Good luck!
Exactly.

My dad and I also run our business out of the house. It's definitely the best way to go if you can.

A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 fell out onto the sidewalk.
Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, “Ma’am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag.”
“Oh, really? Darn it!” said the little old lady. “I’d better go back and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me officer.
“Well, now, not so fast,” said the cop.“Where did you get all that money? You didn’t steal it, did you?”
“Oh, no, no”, said the old lady. “You see, my back yard is right next to a Golf course.
A lot of Golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence, right into my flower Garden. It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, ‘why not make the best of it?
So, now, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers.
Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, ‘O.K., buddy! Give me $20, or off it comes.’
“Well, that seems only fair,” said the cop, laughing. “OK. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what’s in the other bag?”

Researching call signs in the USAF/USN for fighter pilots/aviators, and came across this one: Kanga. For Lt-Gen Bill Rew. Lost my shit.

I was a Crew Chief TDY to Vegas for red flag when myself and a few of our buddies to include a number of pilots, one of which happened to be the FS commander walked out into this open area of our hotel that had a couple of pools and hot tubs. When what do we see but one of our CAPT Pilots receiving oral from a stripper in a hot tub. Ever since he has gone by the name SCUBA ( Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus)

Reminds me of something my father told me. Once when my grandmother was going to bake a cake, the recipy included brandy or the like. By mistake, she took a good part of a bottle of my father's expensive whisky instead of the much cheaper brandy ...

Saw Adam Buxton's BUG: David Bowie Special last night in Glasgow. It was kind of half-in-half tribute/stand-up. Oddly informative; I never knew why Bowie wore white gloves while playing the guitar in the video for Let's Dance. Pretty good...
