I’ve mentioned that I like to just sit back in my easy chair, put headphones on and just listen to music without doing anything else. People say this is weird and say they would fall asleep or go crazy from not doing anything. Am I weird for doing this?

    One of my earliest memories of listening to music was in exactly this style.

    Our family inherited a mobile trailer that was parked in our front yard for a while. I was a young kid and would use the trailer as “my house”.

    I distinctly remember plopping down a boombox on the “kitchen table”, which was just a fold out table with a chair on either side.

    I popped in Dr. Dre’s Da Chronic into the cassette deck of the boombox and hit play. Listening to the whole album while sitting on the chair.

    Fun times. Stop worrying about how other people consume entertainment and just do what feels good to you.
