Soul Food

Today was one of those days. Bummers. No other way to describe it. Actually that describes my last week perfectly as well. But today as I was out in the evening catchting up with a friend at 'our' Costa coffee, i say "our" with full rights considering the amounts of money we give these guys to feed us chocolate tavolettas and hot chocolate and afagatos at the drop of a hat! they know us so well! anyway to get back to the actual point i was trying to make.... We sat nursing our Hot chocolates and just musing in each others company when these guys played some of the best music I've heard in sometime! Its actually pretty old stuff...some 5-6 yrs old, some recent, some older still...but what a mood booster, better than the company, better than the medium cup calorie filled chocolate better than having someone telling me it was all going to be alright... so we just sat there listening to J.Lo sing waiting for tonight and louis armstrong tell me it was still a beautiful world...and james blunt and dido and shania twain...

I had a terrible headache leaving work, but now its 11:40 pm, more than 3 hrs since i left work, i was so energized after that little bit of music, i carried home my hot chocolate (by now, cold and stoved into the refirgerator), freshened up (instead of the usual plopping on the bed and going to sleep), and made, here's the best part...pasta!!! and good pasta too...one of my better turned out experiments with food! :) enjoyed my pasta and now...happily blogging about it...oh, and listening to so much more music...its almost like i've re-discovered music and the pure joy and happiness and energy it gives you!

Well...all i want to say is, corny as it is, Music is soul food...!! :)
