My weekday routine these days, is pretty set. I wake up around 5 or 5:30am and am usually out of my apartment by 6:30 or 6:45am. I love this. Because I love waking up pre-dawn and then driving to work at dawn is so refreshing! Keeps me awake all day.
In terms of music, I am pretty well set too. Morning music is mellow, to suit the mood of dawn. Its the kind of music you would hum to, but not necessarily sing out loud. I feel calm, happy and at peace with the world around me.
Driving back home is a different matter all together! And it totally depends on what my day was like. On a bad day, I am probably listening to my Linkin Park CD, singing/screaming out with it, to relieve all stress/anger/angst/whatever negative stuff accumulated over the day.
On a good day, its kinda different. I am listening to my favourite songs! The kind of song that make you wanna... well.... break out in song! :P
And I know for a fact I am not the only person who does it. Often times, I stop at a traffic light, some car pulls up right beside me, and sitting in the driver's seat is this person who is singing out loud, clearly putting in a lot of soul into the music! It always makes me smile :) Watching somebody else sing happily to tunes while driving is a much better cure to my angst than any amount of screaming to a Linkin Park CD :)
So this one evening, I am in a really good mood for some reason, so I pop in my favourite CD and tune into my favourite songs and start singing out loud. And I have to come to a stop at a traffic light, but I am still singing! Right next to my car, stops this truck, a guy in the driver's seat with his window rolled down suddenly turns and looks at me.
Me - *singing happily*
Truck pulls up next to me
Me - *turn to look at the vehicle that just pulled over next to me*
Truck guy - *coincidentally looks at me the same time I look at him*
Me - *awkward pause in singing*
Truck guy - *still looking at the crazy girl in the car who was singing*
Me - *grin like an idiot at the truck guy and wave*
Cue - traffic light turns green at the right moment
Me - *drive away, still singing happily*
And here is what I really hope had happened
Truck guy - *suddenly feels happy and has a good drive to wherever he was headed*
Or am I the only weird person who feels happy everytime I see somebody else who is really happy about something?!!!!
P.S.: I gotta say, all people that I have seen singing out loud and happy in a car are all women... Why is this? Am I just not spotting guys who sing or do guys just not consider it "manly" to be happy and sing out loud while driving? :P :P

Music is a stress buster. At times very loud music is a better stress buster, the louder the better. I tend to jack up the volume (a) when I am listening to my favourite song (b) when I am stressed out in traffic.
