do you know that feeling you get when you wake up from a long nap? Yeah, I am totally in that mode right now. I have heard it referred to a nap hangover before, and I feel like that is very appropriate. It fits, I guess. I don't know what a hangover is like, so maybe it doesnt fit at all, but that is for another day of discussion.
An AC/DC song just came on my itunes. I have had one of the most incredible feelings that music can give a person. I feel like it only can come to someone who has faithfully served a two year mission. No one else is entitled to this feeling. I grew up loving classic rock, and loving many other types of bands. I also played in a band in high school. I had as great of a love for music as the next person, and then I was asked to give it all up. This was probably the hardest part of my mission, and it realy wasn't even that hard. I know lots of missions that weren't very strict on the music rule, but my mission was very strict. WE could only listen to hymns or mo-tab. It got very repetitive, but I was obedient. IT was worth it. When I got home, and finally able to be alone, I rocked out. I got into a car and put in some old CDs. First song up was Led Zeppelin's Rock n Roll. It was like magic ran through my veins as my blood pumped. I then turned to Highway to Hell (yeah, the day I got home, I know, right?) by AC/DC. and seriously I felt like there was something in my veins that had been gone forever. It was magical. I felt alive! I had my entire life in front of me, and I could rock out the entire time. That was one of the more special moments in my life, so if it seemed dull here, its because I couldn't show you how I felt with the volume of the music. I promise it is incredible.
