Angels Like You Can Fly
September 15, 2006 on 10:07 am | In Snapshot |
This photo might suggest I’m not in a good mood. That morose expression, the distant eyes, the checked shirt and mad granddad glasses. The filters that bring back to mind C&W record covers from the mid-1960s.
Truth is, I’m feeling kinda brilliant today.
There’s no real reason. I mean, my life is pretty excellent. I’m loved by good people, and I’m setting myself up to do what I love. A body could do a lot worse off.
I don’t feel ‘happy’, so much. But I do feel like, when presented with today, I’m gonna knock it out of the park. It’s not often I’m self-assured, so I’m revelling in the sensation while it’s still here.
Clattery, sinister, orchestral, sexy. Pretty cool album too, though not much sounds like this track.

You should feel brilliant because you are! You have a brilliant mind, a brilliant heart and a sence of respect for the people around you that lacks in to many people today.

I don’t visit many people’s blogs. I visit three, actually. Two are politically charged gay black men with obviously lots of racial talk and fashion and yadda yadda. And then this. I have no idea why this blog appeals to me, but it does. So I figured you ought to know that despite having nothing with which to appease my increasingly hyperactive brain nodes, I visit your blog almost regularly. I didn’t even read this post really aside something about grandaddies and the ’60s. Keep rocking in the free world.

Happy is relative. One person’s happy is another person’s *belch* sad. Scuse me.
