autobiography can take many forms, part 2: song
"Piano Man" by Billy Joel
What do you think? Any other autobiographical songs?
(Please bear with the short commercial at the beginning)
Talking to Myself
In response to Ash's writing prompt on talking to one's self...
I talk to myself all the time. And I mean ALL the time. Occasionally it's out loud, but most of the time my monologues are internal. I don't even realize I'm doing it most of the time. I'm also one of those annoying people who get songs or melodies stuck in my head constantly and can't help but sing (horribley) or hum the tune out loud. I did just that the other night while watching tv with my roommate, until she finally asked me to shut up. I was so wrapped up in my own little world I didn't realize I could be heard! The best places that I have found to have deep conversations with myself are in the shower and while running. Many times, my thoughts are in prayer form, which is really just a compilation of my worries, hopes, and fears, but directed in what I believed to be a helpful direction. Is prayer a one-sided conversation if you don't get a verbal response? Am I really just talking to myself?
