Song Challenge Day 15: A Song That Describes Me

It wasn't until the late 90s and I had moved into high school that I started listening to music that wasn't Oldies, and wasn't religious.  I think the local oldies station at the time changing its format to rock overnight helped with that, as I no longer had the source for the Oldies.  My best friend and I were pissed at the time, but I'm sure he's as grateful as I am now for the changeover.

One of the bands I really got into at that time was Collective Soul.  I still love their music, but one song of theirs works well as a song that describes me, at least at this stage.  "Run", hits home on a few fronts.  

"I've never been this bored before / Is this the prize I've waited for"

Growing up, I couldn't wait to be out of school, have a M-F 9-5 job, and live the life of an adult.  If I knew then how mundane such a life is, I think I would have changed my plans somehow.

3 years ago I felt this way at my old job.  Same situation of just being bored with what I was doing.  So I found a new job with new challenges.  I ran to something new.  Now I feel I want to repeat the cycle.

"Is there a cure among us / from this processed sanity"

No matter what I do, I fear I'm going to feel this same sense of boredom in life.  I've had different schedules in the past, but it hasn't alleviated the boredom.  I've worked two jobs and not had a day off in months, but it hasn't alleviated the feeling.  I suspect having a significant other in my life would help, as even if we were bored, we'd be bored together, and somehow that's okay.  I love the time I spend with my close friends, even if we're just sitting and talking, or sitting and not talking.  But I also feel that I need to be able to resolve this boredom on my own, without relying on someone else to be the fix.

"Have I got a long way to run"

As for work, I fear the cycle.  I think my desire to produce television is for the constant change, the new challenges that would present themselves on a regular basis.  But, I have to get into that that aspect.  I have to take the steps that turn into a walk, then into a jog, and then into that full run.  The distance is daunting, but it's not getting any closer without taking that first step...
