Static Dust

Today, I spent time in two activities that might seem disparate, but to the mess of neurons that make up my brain, seem similar.

First: Shopping for clothes at the malls with a lady friend.
Second: Searching for drum loop music files on the net to create songs.

Strolling through malls = Googling for loops
Searching Shops = Selecting Websites
Window Shopping = Sighing at sites that offer cool loops, that are alas, not free
Shop with a sale = Site with shareware or freeware or free loops

So you select a shop/website, and enter.

Now,

Different sections (Formals, Woolens, Casuals, etc) = Different loop categories (Rock, Metal, Hip Hop, Pop, Raggae, Rap, etc)
Seeing clothes on shelfs = browsing through titles of loop files available for download
Lifting a tee-shirt = downloading a loop
Trying it on = unzipping and playing the loop in Hammerhead or Fruity Loops or plain old Winamp.
Rejecting the tee as 'just not me' = deleting the file
Selecting the tee = playing the loop, plugging in your guitar and creating a song

Grumpy salesperson = website that does not let you download multiple files

Wearing the bought clothes = playing the new songs to friends


Final opinion of friends: "Does not suit you. It suits Bryan Adams/Britney Spears though"
(the opinion applies to either the clothes bought or the songs created)

No wonder people say I am a Nerd.
