mood upgrade
You know the antidepressants are working well when you upgrade your favorite morning song from Maxwell's "This Woman's Work" to Ricky Martin's "Cup of Life":
The cup of life
This is the one
Now is the time
Don't ever stop
Push it along
Gotta be strong
Push it along
Right to the top
This is Jimbo. Look out. Now if only I could play rugby again with this attitude! Arrrgh...one of my favorite tournaments is in early December, and I'll be on the sidelines again. I am ready to get on with my life.
My friend Steven is in town this weekend. I wince at the idea of going to see "Naked Boys Singing" Saturday night, but hell, the ticket's free. Perhaps we will be going out after that. I hope to lobby for some Jimbo Time this weekend, or I'm just gonna crack. Not sure if I can make it to next weekend with so little Jimbo Time! Solitude. Sleep. Gardening. Resumes. CivIII. I need some time!
Goofy little encounter on the Metro this morning. As I walk down the platform to get on the Red line, I spot a fine goatee along the way. From down the platform, the goatee looks even better on his profile. The cars arrive, I slink back down to his direction. Shy glances, edging closer, eventually we're sitting next to each other. Farragut North comes too soon and we aren't done with our dance yet. We exchange cards, I recognize the name. A blogger! And a woofy one at that. Friend of a friend, and he likes rugby, or at least rugby players. That's always a good sign.

OOOHhhh, but don'tcha just LOVE Maxwell? That song rocks my world. Of course, Ricky Martin's hips gyrating rock my world too. I imagine having sex with either one would be lots of fun, but Very different styles.

not nearly as good as the original Kate Bush version, but passable :)

No...not even passable. Kate's can't be touched.
Maxwell's goes on the list of bad remakes, IMHO.
Shy flirtations on the subway. It could be the tiny spark that ignites the catalyst that is the re-birth of Jimbo. Good luck!
