Rock Out (1000 Comments: The Secret Challenge)

It is the commute home. Traffic is running slow today. According to the radio there is an accident up ahead. Starting to get tired of listening to the talk radio station, I decide it is time for a change.

With it being summer, the windows are rolled up and the A/C is on. Keeping one hand on the steering wheel, I reach over and grab some CDs.

Glancing between the road ahead and going through the CDs, I find the one to listen to. Using one hand, I stick it into the player. I quickly put the other ones away.

Advancing the CD to the right track, the beat begins. I wait for the right spot to start singing:

I’m a Barbie Girl, in a plastic world. Life in plastic it’s fantastic!

Heading bopping along, singing the entire song, I start to enjoy the drive home.
