Paratoya

I’ve been thinking about toys. I know that, for the time being, our children’s toys are safe. None of them appear on any recall list (though we have one toy which was manufactured some time prior to the “affected” range). I still can’t help but wonder and worry.
I dug around through Taron’s toys, and the vast majority were manufactured in China. What makes me worry is that I cannot be certain whether any harmful chemicals/materials/contaminants are present. I have no real way of knowing. Some of the children’s toys are made by, or licensed through Mattel or a Mattel brand, while others are made by lessor if not unknown companies; and of these lesser or unknowns, how many could have been manufactured at a suspect facility, or a facility owned and operated by a suspect subcontractor?
These things bother me.
I am honestly contemplating tossing all toys that say China on them – regardless of whether they appear on a recall list or not. Yes, it’s a paranoid thing to do, but I just can’t be too sure. It’s my children that I’m thinking about…

Music

Music means a lot to people. Why is that?
Music can spark many different thoughts and feelings in a person. One might remember a particular instance in their life. One may remember a certain movie. One could even remember a commercial. Commercials, for that matter, can spark someone into searching for a song, because they like the background music featured in the thirty second spot.
Four commercials have led me to discovering some interesting songs – an Intel commercial led me to Basement Jaxx; a Hummer commercial led me to FC Kahuna; Vonage the 5.6.7.8’s; and a Suzuki commercial to the Mooney Suzuki.
While I was out running errands today I ended up having the desire to watch Back To the Future – Huey Lewis’ Power of Love was playing on the radio in a business I stopped in.
Currently I’m listening to Sheryl Crow. Several feelings are sparked there.
There is one CD that I own, that I wouldn’t have had I not wasted a part of my life with Sam. (wasted?)

Sam gave me this CD because she didn’t really care for Sheryl, and the CD meant something else to her – it was given to her by someone – I can’t remember who, or the story that went along with the disc. All I can remember is that she really didn’t care for the disc, and gave it to me, for she thought that Sheryl’s stylings were more of my taste anyway. She was right.
So, when I listen to this CD, I think of Sam, and when I started to find my independence. I think I’m still trying.
I had a friend sing a song off of this CD once at karaoke. I think about that too. It was hilarious watching and hearing her struggle to sing it, for she didn’t know the song. I loved it. I love that song, too. I don’t really know why. I guess it just fits me. One of my favorite’s to rock to while cleaning the house – I’ve even repeated that one track several times over while cleaning before – all the while singing my heart out. If we still lived in the days of vinyl, I’m sure that the record would have well over a dozen pops and clicks.
You know, french toast doesn’t sound like a bad idea.
