Day 5: A Song That Reminds Me Of Someone

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

For reasons that I'm not sure I understand or even want to come to grips with, this song reminds me of a near and dear friend who is sort of my "dirty little secret".  Oddly enough he has become one of my closest friends and I don't know what I would do some days without him to talk to or run away with and go shopping! 

I met him quite randomly at a completely informal lunch the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in 2009.  Honestly the minute I sat down it was "game on" and by the end of lunch I wanted to kill him (read or kiss him).  I hadn't decided yet.  (I have since made up my mind that I don't wish to kiss him....there are times when I still want to kill him)  While he would have the rest of the population believe he is a complete douche bag, he is pretty nice when he wants to be.  He has NO skills with the ladies and his ego isn't nearly as inflated as he wants you to think. In the last year and a half we have discovered that we share a brain and have entirely too much fun together.  The friendship is easy and fun - like life should be!  We're both vegetarians with a snarky sense of humor - I refuse to try and label the way things work - they just do.  "It is what it is"

For those keeping track, as much of a part of my life as he has - this is the first blog post about him.  Odd. For THAT person who really keeps track...this is "the Muse".

This song reminds me of him because when we were first getting to know one another he would give me a song each night before he said goodbye - he thinks my choice in music sucks.  This song has stuck with me and always reminds me of him.

Now that I think about it, he doesn't give me a song of the night anymore.  That makes me sad.
