Helps Clear My Mind: Think For A Minute By The Housemartins




With all the wild surprises that's happening around us, it sure is hard to keep your bearing.  When you're in the real world, it doesn't stop for anybody.  Still, despite the hectic schedules and all the unpleasant pranks that fate often brings on us, there comes a time when you really have to stop even for a second.  This to clear your head and find out what it is you need to do.  I good song for that kind of situation is "Think For A Minute" by The Housemartins.

Man, this is another one of those prozac-type songs that help calm the nerves.  This is one of those songs where I'm in my aircondtioned-room with a stoogie in one hand and some  hooch in the other.  It really helps wash away all the crap an awful day brings.  More importantly it helps clear my head from all the chaos that's been happening lately. A nice mellow tone that makes you light as a feather is clearly what the doctor recommended.

These days my 24K songs mean the world to me.  Though I'm not a very technical person, I am grateful for today's technology for making these song's more accessible. Now my generation's time is now at the cross roads, the songs are the only thing that gives me comfort.  That's because they got soul that touches mine when times are tough. Helps me clear my head and face the world once more

Unwind A Bit After Work: Happy Hour By The Housemartins




I remember blogging about how I'd have a drink or two before going home. Though it may not have been a healthy habit physically,mentally and emotionally you get a lot out of your mind and heart. This is truly so when you have good people to talk to while you enjoy your drink. After a weary and sometimes bad day, you really need to take some time to get it all out of your system. Remembering those times when you unwind a bit before going home reminds me of the song "Happy Hour" by The Housemartins.

When work sucks and you feel the same way, sometimes you want to just get it off your chest before going home. Having a few brews with someone who's had his or her share of crap helps you open up about the remains of the day. Just go to a good place where the atmosphere is cool and the drinks are cheap. Pretty soon the smile replaces the scowl and you feel relaxed after a tensed. Not wanting to overdo it, if you feel better, then that's the time to call it a day.

It's been a while since I shared a drink with my friends (inner-circle). Especially now, that things are a bit chaotic and I'm needed here at home as soon as work is done. Still, it's starting to take it's toll on me as I wake up and go to sleep tense. I just hope that what I am working on will finally bear fruit and be sustainable so that from their I can work on other things that can help ease the situation around here. Once all of this is resolved, I'd gladly have a real good drink and have a good time cause by then it'll really be happy hour.
