Reggae made me late.

disclaimer;
Alright, so due to a roaring crowd (of one), I have decided to compose my personal musings on life in general. I am hoping my fans (again, one, so using a plural isn't applicible, but who's counting) will bear with me as I foray into this blossoming social media outlet without a theme present. Let me mention that my blog begins in spite of my internal perfectionist talking me out of doing it at all, lest it be tedius and dull. So after a false start and much procrastination please bare with me as a I hope a topic will rise like cream out of the sludgy ramblings.

Reggae made me late.
I. like many of my fellow early birds, enjoy music to help aid in the process of getting one's self up and out the door before the ungodly hour of 6 am. Upon spilling out of bed, I select a Pandora or Soma FM station with a foggy and optimistic mind. My thought is that the type of music I select will forshadow how my day will progress. My choices range from The Commadores to The Clash or whatever else I randomly fancy. Today, I selected Reggae. How fitting! I thought. Just the thing! And so I bobbed along to a mellow, steady, and as it turns out, too casual vibe. Music does have a way of transporting one into a certain mood, and for this bleary eyed girl, it was reaggae. This choice would have been just grand had I not played "got you last" with my snooze button for 40 min. By the time I had eased myself onto my bike saddle, it was 6:15!  I did not have time to stop and change the station to a more driving tempo like The Faint or Pantera in order to propel me. And so, in my race against time I continued listening to Bob Marley and plodded along.  20 dark soggy blocks stood between me and my 6:30 meeting. By the time I rolled in, I was soaked and tardy. Seeing that my usual coveted corner chair was taken, I sandwiched myself between two bright faced (and punctual) fellows on the wooden bench, feebly muttering that the reggae had made me late.  I noted to myself that perhaps next time I wrestle with my alarm clock I will listen to something more.......motivational, like "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.
