The Time is Now
It's been a crappy month for a lot of people on my flist, and you all have my love and sympathy. I had a particularly crappy week too, getting fired and all, but no friends were available for a fun weekend to cheer me up, so I had to find a way to make myself feel better.
For a start, I've been obsessing about getting hold of E-Type's new album that was supposed to be released first in september, then last week, but now it's been pushed back again. It's been delayed another two weeks. BUT! His new single was released and I love it. His music always makes me happy.
E-Type - Eurofighter, listen and download @ zshare.net
And today I had a day on the town with my mother. Nothing huge, just walking around looking, and we ended with a fabulous dinner in a classy restaurant. Nevermind that we paid with cupons... Stuffed with all that luxury, we did some grocery shopping and picked up a bit of expensive deluxe chocolate on the way. Sitting in the car on the way home, sun setting over the mountains, music playing on the radio, eating those delicious chocolates, I was just filled with this serenity. So what if I lost my job? Had to happen some time. So what if I won't have money? I have a pretty good life, all things considered. I might whine and complain on occasion, and it's my prerogative to do so, but right now I feel pretty damn good. And I deserve some god damn chocolate.
When things get crappy I only have to try and remember this feeling. Stand up and dance, singing at the top of my lungs;
"The time is noooooow! We won't back dooooown!
When we stand united we can save the day,
EUROFIGHTER!!!! - is nooooow! We're back in tooooown!
we can do whatever, dance the night awaaaaaaaay!"
(Eurodisco has silly lyrics, I know, but I love this stuff. :P)
I'm good. I've calmed down enough from last week to maybe not bite my coworker's head off if I see her this week. We'll see who the boss has paired me with tomorrow. I'll just go off with my iPod and ignore everything else. Don't want anyone ruining my good mood.
