Well, I had this idea last night to do a song pick of the week. I think I could pick a different one every day being it seems like every day holds wildly different thoughts and emotions lately! However, just in case I don't have time to write every day - I'll call it Pick of the Week for now.

Today is the first day...and I was inspired when my husband and I were driving to dinner last night and I had some new tunes playing in the car that I had downloaded while he was out of town. He commented that he thought I had great taste in music and that it truly represents my sparky personality (which is all over the place!) One day, it's all Sinatra and Bennett....the next could be Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban while the next could be Crazy Frog and Aguilera....Truly, Madly and Deeply! I have always LOVED music.

Music calms me, uplifts me, reminds me, and makes me cry. Music magically brings out the smell of cologne from the boy I dated in high school....or the smell of the ocean and sun on my face in Tahiti, or the belly laugh from singing Lean on Me on stage with my cuz Tina over 10 yrs ago!! Music truly is spiritual. Thank God for my hearing.

So, now that I've explained myself. Today I pick Mr E's Beautiful Blues. I think I heard it on a tv show a week or two ago, found it online and downloaded it. I love the song!!

I pick that song because I feel like it is a (ahem excuse the profanity) "God DAMN beautiful day." The beat is prominent and punchy, yet soft spoken and easy. It's quirky and strange, yet so honest and blatent. It's strangely simple in it's static and craziness. I feel static all around me.

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. People have such nerve wanting to make sure you are aware you have fallen off track and how "unattractive" it is. Well, where the hell have you been to help get a loved one back on track??!! Where was the love and support...but hey, thanks for stating the obvious and adding to the angst of it all. Now THAT felt good!!! WHEW....breathe.

I've had to face a lot of challenges through 2007, a lot of learning lessons and it's decision time for many things. I choose to take my self back and be happy...to laugh and enjoy my life again...damnit! I deserve it! That's right, I am taking my power back! God damn Right, It's a Beautiful Day!!!! Thank you for saying it so beautifully, Eels!
