Rekindling Old Creative Flames

Even though I use my hands everyday to type and to write, I used my hands for something I haven't done in quite a long time. Wandering around the WUC, drawn over by the tunes on my ipod, the piano pulled me in.
All the way into high school, I took piano lessons. Honestly, I could have been really good, but I never practiced. I think it was the mindset of if I had to do it, it wasn't fun. Yet a certain tune that I've been listening to made me ponder: I could probably play this on the piano.
I used the song on my ipod to figure out what the notes were as best I could. Right now, this is how far I've gotten:

A bit rough, but not too shaby! I can't figure out the next note for the left hand right now, but I'll learn it soon enough. I forgot how much I really love playing music! After my work is done for the day tomorrow, I'll be sure to make my way back to a piano again.

As for the rest of the day, it was just another average day. I did end up watching Glee... and then staying out at the television with the group for the next two shows. Whoops.

Good evening to all!

Have you ever played an instrument? What instrument?

Just a Little Thing to Boost Your Spirits

Who out there is excited that the week is halfway over? Other than me? I'm quite pumped indeed. (I'm not sure if those words all work in the same sentence.)

The fates seemed to be trying to test me today, trying to bring my mood down. At times, they were pretty good at it too. They happened to start my day off right, with my Clinique clarifying bottle falling to the ground and breaking even before the clock hit seven.

My poor bottle!

I managed to salvage some of it, but it was not a happy thing.

It appeared to be one of those days where the key phrases were, "Well what else can happen today?" and "Oh, there's another thing that needs to be fixed/printed again." Pretty much a lot of things that didn't need to happen to make me busier.

However! As I started to prepare things for tomorrow, a song came on to my ipod that made me light up. I couldn't stop myself. I started to dance like a buffoon around my room, a big goofy grin on my face. After my jam session, I thought about all of the little good things happening in life. I got a lot of work done today. After classes tomorrow, I'll have no more homework for the rest of the week. I have only one class on Friday that starts at 11:00. My weekend is going to be amazing!

Take it from Calvin and Hobbes, they know what they're doing.

Thinking about all of the little bad things is draining. Thinking about the little things that are good is energizing! I'd rather have energy than be a lifeless shell of myself.

If you're wondering what song made me jump up and dance, I was jamming to Love Like Woe by The Ready Set. I don't know what is about that song, but pretty much every time I listen to it, I want to dance! Fun fact about me: I enjoy a lot of music that some may call seriously bad music. Like, music that is extremely ridiculous. Although, I do like tasteful music as well.

Speaking of which, I really like the free song of the week Marathon by Tennis. It's very old fashioned, but in a good way in my opinion.

That's all I think I have for you today. Get ready for the weekend!

What song just makes you want to dance?
