Setting The Mood (to Read or Write)

Im sure Im not alone in this, but music helps keep my brain on track. If its quiet, my mind runs rampant and I end up with nothing getting done. Ive always used music as my mental lubricant. I know, I know. Some people will cringe at the thought of this, but hey cant deny myself of being me. Nor can you, right?

For me, I think hearing music allows me to breathe in someone elses creativity and it amps up my own. Or maybe since my mind is always moving, it somehow keeps it in relatively one...
