A Guilty Pleasure Revealed

Ok, I admit it. I love and have loved for a long time, progressive vocal trance music. I'm hardcore and I take it seriously. I have a seperate NAS (Network Attached Storage) dedicated to this kind of music. I don't advertise it and I hide it on my LAN like I would hide porn. Amy doesn't even know how much I like it. But no more. I don't dance to it but it's really the only music that can make me completely lose myself and focus on something if I need to. But I have to be careful, it's like a very powerful drug and has to be taken in moderation.

I had to write a very tight piece of code for work tonight and I remembered that trance keeps my ADHD at bay. So I loaded up a new directory of new tunes I'd recently downloaded and found an absolute gem that I'd forgotten about. My code got done, tested, and checked into SVN but I can't get this track out of my head.

And don't make fun of me

I was so exhausted tonight and had laid down but it was futile- this song gave me new life and I wanted to share.
