OK, I just created my first blog. Why? Because sometimes I have a need for self-expression. And since today is an especially wonderful day, I want to share my thoughts for two reasons; first just because, and second, because by spending my time doing this I can rationalize NOT doing my income tax and preparing a case study for school. Good enough reasons, don't you think?
Why Today is Wonderful
Today is wonderful because it is a glorious morning, 65 degrees, sun shining, I slept great, and I'm eager to carpe diem.
I got a good start on income tax, might even finish today. My tax preparation concentration is aided by Brahms, "A German Requiem". Try it! The right kind of music just makes everything better.
Remember Mary Poppins "Spoonful of Sugar" helping the medicine go down? Well, just try an earful of the right kind of music and all is well.
Tax preparation time was interrupted when the maid needed to clean my office, "mucho polbos". That's OK...need to get a good workout in.
I've been working out all week to Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Today I did double distance and chose my collection of six Hungarian Rhapsodies by Franz Liszt for the journey. And what a journey it was! The selection runs 59.9 minutes...just about perfect for one hour on the treadmill.
Thanks to Franz Liszt I was transported through a wonderful fantasy and simply forgot I was on the treadmill. I became a gypsy in the Hungarian forest. Oh, I looked so cool dressed in my puffy-sleeve shirt, sash and sabre around my waist, of course I had an earring. The music helped me dance provocatively with each of the dark-eyed maidens. [No, Pat, that's as far it went with the maidens...just dancing.] Then I became an entranced dervish whirling with abundant energy.
Then the music led us to load our wagons and move out. We travelled through the forest and at times we felt we were in danger. We picked up the pace and began to gallop through the forest into a sunny hillside. There I saw Maria from "Sound of Music" doing her "Hills are Alive" song. Hey, Maria, you don't belong in this fantasy! How do you solve a problem like Maria?
The music carried our travelling bad of gypsy's through revelry, drunkenness, the birth of a baby, romance, and, yes, even a bit of eroticism (I'm allowed that once in a while!).
So, if you do not now think I'm totally crazy, share your thoughts: How does music figure into your life?
