Soundtrack of my life

One of those days where you wake up, tune up your music player on shuffle you get all the songs of your emotions in a row. Those days are magical.

This morning, as I commandeered an iPod for my walk to breakfast, was Force of Nature by Pearl Jam. Oh my goodness, little iPod, how do you know I woke up feeling like I was going to take on the world today?
A rendition of Feelin' Good originally done by Nina Simone, jazz goddess, but this time by Muse, a personal favorite.
And then it ended with Big Sun from the soundtrack of Into the Wild.

After that I just wanted to turn it off because it couldn't get any better than that. In high school, before basketball games, a friend and I used to run out to her car for ten minutes to crank up the jams (even this was before the dawn of the portable music player. A whole three years ago.) and get pumped up before she went out on the court and I sat the bench. ...Yeah, well, I never said I was good at basketball.

Still it was a moment like this. And I needed it for the coming week. 

Which may or may not consist of biking to/camping at Bodensee.
Which may or may not lie about 130 kilometers south of where I am right now.

It'll be radio-silence for the next couple of days.

Bis bald.
