music monday

music makes monday so much better.

(source)
or, really, any day better.

before the music though, an astrology announcement:

(because i nerd out over shit the stars tell us)

we transitioned into pisces today so the mood’s all dreamy and spiritual and light and dark all at the same time. i feel happy, calm, motivated, and creative right now. the spiritual energy we wade through under pisces’ influence can be difficult to manage. advice: go with the flow.

if you’re interested at all, i highly recommend checking out here and here. they’ll explain it all a bit better than me, i think!

okay.

nerd session over.

music:

feist! honestly, i generally have to be a feist mood to listen to her…but not with this song! i could listen to this all day. every day.

and, because it’s monday and because monday can have to potential to be lame, here’s a remix of the above song by another guy i love. boyz noize is just one dude from germany and he fucking kills it. i heard this version of my moon, my man first, actually! (warning: this one may not be for everyone. heh…)

may the start of your monday be all kiiiiinds of musical!

babbling

the sad slump isn’t over yet.

from what i understand, a lot of people have been in questionable moods lately (i blame the full mood and mercury retrograde. feel free to call me a looney.). i am feeling curt and cross and unbelievably sensitive today (and terribly, terribly acid reflux-ey). sometimes i feel like two people: one calm and steady, the other fiery and aggressive.

the funniest part is, i know why i am down and i know how to remedy it. the only thing keeping me from helping myself is, well, myself. i’m starting to understand that, in order to move forward in a more positive direction, i really need to hunker down and commit to shit. i read my tarot cards last night in a health spread (again, call me crazy if you want. buut…i’ll just mention that i’ve proved every skeptic wrong so far ). they basically confirmed for me everything i’ve been thinking: be gentle, be committed, be patience, be open, and believe in the good things because they’re coming. the biggest one for me is commitment. if i view something as a “failure” i only focus on the “failure” instead of the bigger picture. i cannot allow one small set back to deter me from pursuing my hopes and dreams.

though i woke up down and out, i still did things to help along my mood and reinvigorate myself. i ate breakfast (though i desperately didn’t want to). i ate lunch. i ate protein. i worked out. and i listened to music. something about music always, always, always soothes. there is always some melody, some words, some beat to connect with during any given mood.

so, i figure i’ll end it here today. not much to say (though, oddly enough, there is so much to say…just not in a fluid, non-rambling way). i will leave you with the song that started my day today. i hope you like it. it feels sleepy and dreamy and kinda sway-with-you-eyes-closed.
