Melodies, Moods & Mucus‏

Published on December 1, 2010 6:20 PM

This entry will be short and perhaps a little nauseating. 🤮 Fact is, my murky mood continues. People are irritating. You want me to do what? How bout you kiss this? Events are underwhelming. That's it?! What the hell is everybody else so worked up about? Life is spectacularly so-so. 😐 And to top it all off, because of the unpredictable, pollen-laden Texas weather, I'm still suffering from a tuberculosis-sounding cough that most certainly frightens away the clingiest of companions. As luck would have it, today happens to be my food "free" day and I'm swallowing so much chest phlegm that I don't even have enough room for my high carb goodies. 🤧 I listened to some of my usual music to get myself motivated at work this morning but it didn't work the way it usually does. So in the middle of one my favorite usual cds, I abruptly eject it, then start to frantically rummage through my desk to find something, anything, different. Thankfully I find something and immediately think to myself; 'Oh yeah, I forgot I had this one. Man, I haven't listened to this in years!' I pop it in and the very first song sends me into a whole other world of melodic magnificence.🎧 'Oh man, I forgot how great this cd is.' Track 1 and I decide right then & there to try to find a positive spin on every negative situation that crosses my path today. Track 4: 'Ah yes...I'm loving this sweet, sultry melody.' Track 8: 'Uh huh...now that's what's up.' Track 12 and I'm neck-grooving so hard I thought I was gonna give myself whiplash. A bona fide 16-track kick in the seat of my pants. Even my not-so-favorite songs on that album inspired me to be more optimistic. The evolution of a sucky to sublime early day. Gotta love it. ❤️ People are irritating. Hey, at least they don't live with me. Events are underwhelming. Underwhelming events are better than catastrophic ones. Life is spectacularly so-so. Could be worse. Life could decide to permanently cancel my contract. 😐 My momentous musical mood-swing made almost everything seem a little bit better. Hell, I didn't even mind that my freshly made sushi smelled a little "off" today, I just happily ate it anyway. 🍱 And to top it all off, I realized that having a belly full of chest mucus on my food "free" day ain't so bad either. I found out today that respiratory mucus is actually high in carbohydrates. It's true, I looked it up. Molding a mood with music is great and all but to me, wasting a food "free" day would be worse than swallowing snot on purpose. 🤢
