Josh Groban @ MindSay 
I don't know how to put this. I'm so weird. There are moments in my day when I'm an just deleriously happy, shaking with joy unexplained. For no apparent reason, I just have the urge to jump up and down and shriek with happiness. Like that girl in "Love Actually" who, in a private moment, just goes all weird and jumps up and down on the staircase, grinning from ear to ear. I do that! I'm not kidding! And you might think it weird but I can take a guess and say it is just the spirit of God living in me that is the source of this joy. Anyone else just have happyiness freakouts like I do? Just curious.
And then there are other times I just WANT to be melancholy (my favorite word) and contemplative. I'll put on Josh Groban or Chris Gaines and just sit by the window watching the world go by. It is such a deep place I go to in moments like those, I can't explain expect that is the complete polar opposite to the deleriously happy. And how I move between the two and at what intervals! That is what's so weird. Not even within minutes of eachother, I can shift the emotion from one extreme to the other and do so at will! I'm not bi-polar if I can do it at will. Then what is it?
Is it the actress in me that never took the stage? The writer so familiar with the emotions and thoughts of their imaginary characters? I imagine it must be so, an emotional exploration exercise I didn't even know I was using all those years of writing.
I like it, being able to pinpoint an emotion and feel it on command. There's a certain amount of satisfaction in exploring all of them. Geez I'm weird aren't I?
In other news, I'm deleriously happy about tomorrow. I think something is going to happen at chruch. Maybe...she'll come this time. That would be an answered prayer.
At the same time, I'm listening to "February Song" ...and reveling in melancholy.
Where is that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Til he opens his eyes.
Opens his eyes...

All right it has happened! Josh Groban has spread his infectious yuletide gaiety to me and forced me to buy his Christmas CD entitled Noel.
The absolute best cut on the cd is the song "Angels We Have Heard On High" which is a duet with Brian McKnight!
I was just doing my thing and getting my Pagan on when out of the blue this song hits the speakers at work and just like that the infection had assaulted me and spread at break neck speed through my system!
Curse you Groban and your friend McKnight too!
BAH HUMBUG Dang-It! listen to this fantastic ass song!
Goddess Bless
On Eagles Wings
Josh Groban
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord, "My Refuge,
My Rock in Whom I trust."
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under His Wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come.
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
For to His angels He's given a command,
To guard you in all of your ways,
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

Josh Groban: Live at the Greek (and not in my living room)
Now, I've already seen this DVD. And I swear I've owned it before now because I distinctly remember watching it in The Quad office (when no one else was around, of course, else I be ridiculed for all eternity). But I can't find the dang thing anywhere... not in this apartment, not at my Mom's house... and I can't think of anywhere else it could be hiding.
I'm only 24... I can't be going senile already, can I? Though I did find two gray hairs a few days ago... promptly ripped them out of my head (ow.), but that didn't make me feel any better. Ugh.
Anyway, this weekend is looking to be pretty quiet. I have to do some contract work for the old job, but other than that I'm free as a bird. Depending on the weather tomorrow morning/afternoon I might drive over to the local park to walk the trails for an hour or so. If I'm toying around with the idea of visiting Prague in August, I want to make sure that my wallet is the one that's round, not me.
I'm watching "Bam's Unholy Union" on MTV right now. It's still so weird (and fun!) to look at the surroundings and try to figure out exactly where Bam and the crew are in West Chester. Right now they're beating each other up outside of the Havana Cigar Company store down off of 202 and Dilworthtown Rd., in the shopping complex with the Giant. Dude, I used to do my grocery shopping at that Giant. Ha.
