I've never listened to Dark Side of the Moon (the few Pink Floyd songs I can think of I'm not sure what album they're from) so I wouldn't have to waste my one on that.

Part of my general emotional temperance is that I am rarely wowed and/or overwhelmed by an experience. Though I do grow bored easily with any repeated experience.

For me the greatest thrill in life is quite literally being somewhere I've never been before. I get a certain happiness from taking an unusual turn on my way to Safeway and realizing I've never driven down that street before. And I was just expressing my regret to Lani last weekend that one reason the day-trip drives we used to love doing have dwindled in recent years is that it is very hard for me to find a three to six hour drive we haven't done before and the novelty is important to my enjoyment of a drive.

So I'd probably use mine to somehow try to restore pleasure at seeing some particular place for the first time again. All of Alaska, the Florida keys, the food stalls in Singapore. Something like that.
