daydreaming

i would estimate i spent at least 2 hours today doing nothing more than sitting and daydreaming. mostly daydreaming, at least. there was a little analyzing going on there, too. but not in the overcritical way i usually analyze. (people often make the mistake of thinking i turn a blind eye to the possible ramifications for my actions. in truth, i spend a lot of time concocting in my mind the worst possible consequences for the things that i do. once i know i can make peace with the possible outcomes, it's easy to make the next step. but i digress.) it started as i was waiting for a phone call from a friend. i was idly clicking around on facebook, and then just started to let my mind wander instead. and you know how a mind can wander. i have no idea where i started, but i ended up dreaming about a little bit of every thing. after the phone call and running a quick errand, i came home with no real plans for the evening and seven or eight new thoughts running through my mind. it was gorgeous outside, so i took a glass of wine onto the deck and settled into one of the patio chairs. another hour or so passed by, and it wasn't until i came inside to make dinner that i realized this song had been running through my mind.



there are, of course, lots of youtube options for this song. this one's got good audio, a little bit of background about the song and a decent angle to see that JoCo looks like a muppet when he sings. :)

it's all in the last eight lines.

So enjoy yourself, do the things that matter
Cause there isn't time and space to do it all
Love the things you try, drink a cocktail, wear a tie
Show a little grace if you should fall

Don't live another day unless you make it count
There's someone else that you're supposed to be
Something deep inside of you that still wants out
And shame on you if you don't set it free
