Background Music.

I'm riding my bike today and I took some different trails than normal.  Some of them were a piece of cake, some a rice cake sprinkled with LSD.  I don't know what that means but it sounds disturbing, much like some of those trails.  For the record, when I say disturbing I mean too muddy to attempt.  I'm not a mountain bike rider, those people are crazy.

As I'm looking at one stretch of dirt I had a thought:  If this was a movie what would be the background music?  Would it be some uplifting piece that means that I can do it, a dark and foreboding piece to show the danger or would it simply be Taps?  It was the uplifting piece.

That made me realize how much easier life would be if it had theme music and we could hear it.  You go on a date and the background music is '70's porn, you know you're getting laid.  Is the background music "Close to You" by the Carpenters, could be a relationship based on more than sex.  When your boss wants to talk to you think about what the background music could tell you.  You're walking into his (or her) office and you hear Vader's theme song, might be really bad.  If the '70's porn music comes on then you might have to work for that raise again.

I'm not a big fan of music but I think I could handle some background music in my life.
