I've had a cup of coffee and I feel great. I went through a phase of drinking too much, drinking not enough, and drinking too much again, but now I'm just able to have a cup and feel good. It kicks me up just enough to feel aware enough to understand that little moment more.
Right now, I'm compiling top five lists in the interests of assembling a mix for a lady and assembling my thoughts for myself. I'm having a lot of trouble with them, because unlike any mix I've made before, this isn't just making a mix that'll sound good for someone, this involves making top five lists that are mine and me, and using them to show myself to someone. It's hard, but I think it could make some of the best stuff I could make.
I feel good right now. Coffee is usually a good thing for me, but more than that, the sun went down not too long ago, and the sky is that rich, rich, deep blue after the sunset but before the dark of night, and it looks perfect against the red brick buildings on my street cast in orange street lights.
Also, I fixed my headphones again, and realize how important sound is to me. It's great to have sound on the move. Between the night that is tonight and my re-found capacity for quality sound wherever I want, I'm feeling inspired. Maybe I'll go for a long walk and remember what I used to do.
The sky is dark and my lists wait. I think I'll go bake a pie.
