Noise

What's the noisiest place you've ever been? Football game, baseball game, little league ballgame, rock concert, southern gospel concert, your kid's preschool, your teenager's room, New York City, Carrollton, GA?

Noise is part of life and at times maybe we just dig noise because it puts our brains in park/neutral. When there's noise around we can just cease to deal with the reality of our thoughts that sometimes make us loco/crazy. When it's quiet, the things inside our head creep up on us and we have to deal with them. Or plug back in our headphones or ESPN.

You could almost say noise is like the new recreational drug of our generation today, okay, of all of us. Hum.....could we make money off this new addiction?

I love kids, I love teenagers, and I love to hear the buzzing in a room full of young people. It feels like life and energy and 'yea, alright'. I like that kind of noise. But put me in a room full of crying babies or even two and I'm looking for the door. To some people that sound is like heaven on earth.
