As many of you know, I have my Galaxy S5 packed with a 128GB micro-sdhx card and about 75% of my 5,000+ CD collection stored on it as VBR WMA files. I like to use it as my personal radio station most of the time and rarely use a real radio or internet radio, even at home. So, in my new office I put some big Audio Engine speakers and a blueTooth receiver and generally play music all day long unless I am having a phone conversation. I even let the music play when I have meetings in my office, I just turn the volume down so it is comparable to the background music in restaurants, and such. I just set my default Android music player to Random and hit play - well, now I just hit play because it defaults to play - and I have the best possible radio station ever! It is all music I chose to own and love to hear.
With that background as a setup...
This morning I came into the office early and started my music like I always do. After my first coffee I noticed it was getting close to time for me to go to the restroom and take care of business. So I calculated in my head I could probably go a couple of songs before I would head to the "head." About 15 songs later the need to deliver a package was growing more urgent, but the song currently playing was pretty damn good. "After this song I'll go to the restroom," I thought to myself.
But the next song was even better than the last, so I put it off for another song. Then another, and another. DAMN! Why is each song better than the last? I was being forced to stay in my office and fully enjoy each subsequent song before I was going to visit the water vortex seat of doom.
Finally I just couldn't take it any longer and with the walk that only the desperate understand, I rushed to the lavatory only to find the stalls all occupied, which was a problem. Rather than risk certain failure of the dam, I rushed off to the next floor to use that restroom, which did have a stall empty, but it was one of the closest calls I can remember for years.
Damn my phone for picking such a perfect random play list for my morning. And damn me for putting only music I truly love on my phone for it to choose from!!!
Sometimes a shitty radio station has its benefits.
