if banging your head against the wall hurts, then why do you still bang it?

if i say, "I like ROCK MUSIC!", how much can you infer about me? much, i guess. let me show you.
let's start with MUSIC. ever heard a tune playing and you can instantaneously predict what the next bar will be, and true enough it goes as you guessed? immediate satisfaction. it's the same feeling guitarists experience when they can synchornise their jump and their huge downstroke with the drummer's final hit at the cymbals at the end of a fast song. and it is exactly this gratification that i seek to fulfil everytime, everyday in my life. i like head-banging and air-guitaring to the heavy thump of the drums in rock music, and this penchant satisfy something deep inside me i can't explain.
i have this strange little idiosyncracy with me. i have this thing with orderliness. every item and every object within my sight must be tidy, to the extent if anyone put a single folded newspaper where newspaper are placed unfolded, i get restless, impatient, and have the tendency to hunt down the guy who placed it in such an awkard manner. but since everything on earth has balance, so does this. for me, things need not be where they are supposed to be, as long as they are tidy. for example, amazingly, i can tolerate it if i find CDs in the toilet, as long as they are stacked nicely and they still have the discs inside. similarly, i get furious if the same CDs are in a pile near the stereo, with some missing covers or with broken case hinges. this is no different from music. you just can't throw crochets, semi-breves and minims around the bars as you like, but if you tidy the bars up so that the beat duration is complete for each bar, then there is no problem placing the bar where you like. much like a song can start with an intro, a verse, or even straight into the chorus, but it can't even begin if the notes in the bars are messed up.
next on to ROCK. quite simply, i want my girl to be loud and exciting, just like a good rock song, bursting with enthralling energy and amazing licks. a perfect contrast to the quiet me. a girl who makes my heart thump whenever she's near. and like a well-written rock song, someone that is witty, tongue-in-cheek, makes intelligent company, give insightful remarks on relevant issues and in true rock fashion, not compelled to follow the whims of the outside world.
