Are you happy now?

"If you love the music, sing the words loud
If you know the lyrics, scream them and shout
You can feel at home here,
you'e all among friends
So let' dance 'tl the music ends
Let' dance 'tl the music ends"
~Epic Hero


I've come to the conclusion that people who wear headphones while they walk, are much happier, more confident, and more beautiful individuals than someone making the solitary drudge to class without acknowledging their own interests and power. Even those who walk/run for fitness tend to have a different look of concentration based on whether or not they're in tune with their tunes.

I went months without listening to music. Because not having my ipod with and it being in the shop forever I have become one of those who have forgotten their power. But I finally have a relationship with my ipod again THANK GOD. This handy tool box of music has brought a variety of music back into my life in ways that make me the happiest person on campus. I finally am able to use my headphones again. Headphones with music playing makes me smile. Smiles evoke confidence. Confidence provokes the lack of fear. No fear equals anything is possible. I see it in everyone else with headphones on. I'm not sure whether they're rocking out to an audio book, listening to their prof. lecture before a big test (yeah right), listening to a homemade recording of their latest sexual escapade, truly feeling the newest backstreet boys album, or learning Japanese. The secret remains with the listener. I love that mystery. And maybe that's why every person who passes me who is engulfed in their own giant land of imagination. I love seeing people smile and walk around without a care in the world. Even the guy with the cd player who has to keep his steps light so as not to skip his ancient cd's is having a better time than the guy who is trying to make it to class while remembering what the formula was for newton's second law.

I was plagued by a bad shuffle this moring. I hate when that happens. I was on my walk. Minding my own smiles and enjoying the smell of spring, meanwhile making a list of what to delete ASAP on my ipod. Each time I advanced the shuffle command another hideous song that I'm tired of hearing came on. Usually my ipod is able to tell what mood I am in and what would be the best songs to play, today was not one of them. It might be a sort of revenge it is playing on me because I sent it away for over to months to get worked on. Maybe we'll be more in sync tomorrow...
