I don't think there is any sane human being out there that enjoys feeling sad or depressed or heartbroken. Why then, do I listen to music that will only make me feel worse when I am feeling down? I haven't necessarily been feeling that way or anything, but my friend and I were discussing this. I find extreme pleasure in listening to music that will only make me feel worse.
Last night, we had very serious conversation over coffee and on the way home, we made the ride that much more dramatic and serious by playing the piano version of Yann Tiersen's La Valse d'Amélie. We both got lost in our own worlds, and I laughed to myself at how absurd and dramatic it all was. Still I enjoyed every second of it.
Today she was having a bad day, so she texted me asking if she could e-mail me with her problem. I told her she could. We ended up chatting via e-mail. It was funny because you'd think we'd both just sign on AIM, but my boss wouldn't approve. She'd e-mail me, I'd respond, and after a minute, I'd refresh my page and I'd have her response in an instant. I do the same thing with MOB sometimes. I realllllllllly love it. I like it more than actually chatting on AIM I think. Anyway, we agreed to meet in the city after work for coffee. We ended up at a Mexican restaurant uptown having margaritas and talking about life. I commented on the weather and how it was the first time it had been sunny ALL day. We decide to walk to 33rd because it was beautiful out. All of a sudden, it starts pouring. We're stranded underneath an awning for what feels like forever. She had an umbrella and we only had about two more blocks til the next subway. I didn't care if I got a little wet. Well, I got soaked, but it was sooooooooooooooooooooooo refreshing and in those two blocks I had the best time. When we got to Hoboken we decided to go for a ride to anywhere. We rode to Boulevard East and stayed there until we both were ready to go home. It's very nice to have a friend you can feel comfortable with in silence. Guys, school, our jobs, stress were put on the back burner and our problems were put on hold. I know it sounds stupid and it might seem dumb, but I get major satisfaction from just looking out the window and listening to Mirah's "While We Have the Sun."
*sigh* Even now.
Stop what you're doing and enjoy being alive.
It's wonderful.
