Miserable moods call for drastic measures.
Well, that's not entirely true. It is probably more that miserable moods call for extremities. (does that make sense . . . ?)
All day I've been listening to Dixie Chicks (yes the same 50 some songs over and over and over again- I have no problem with it) and eating chocolate (and it is not just because I'm obsessed).
Some of you may be puzzled as to why this is different than any other day for me . . . there is nothing else I wish to devote my time to but these two things.
Nothing can comfort one in a wallowing state better then these things.
Chocolate: Toblerone (an extra big one)
Song(s): Hole in my Head; Heartbreak Town; Don't Waste Your Heart; Everybody Knows
Lyrics:
'I need a boy like you like a hole in my head
Let's just say we will and then don't instead
. . . You're gonna take me boy on a wild goose chase
You better find somebody to take my place
You took my imagination and stomped it in the ground. . .'
(Hole in my Head)
'This ain't nothin' but a Heartbreak Town
Square people in a world that's round
And they watch you dancin' without a sound
. . . You take your number and you stand in line
And they watch to see how high you're gonna climb
Pat on the back 'n' better luck next time . . .'
(Heartbreak Town)
'And I'm here to apologize
My heart can't compromise
Don't waste your heart on me'
(Don't Waste your Heart)
'Looking through the crowd
I search for something else
But every time I turn around
I run into myself
Here I stand
Consumed with my surroundings
Just another day
Of everybody looking
I swore they'd never see me cry
You'll never see me cry'
(Everybody Knows)
If you are one of those pessimistic people who judge all country music to be depressing . . . don't base those opinions on these lyrics . . . there are plenty of happy and uplifting songs by country artists. There are also very depressing and whinny songs performed by none country artists.
A thought:
'I'd rather be alone
Like I am tonight
Than settle for the kind of love
That fades before the morning light'
(I Believe in Love)
~Praise God for Chocolate and Music in good and bad times . . . but mostly bad~

Now I know why you wanted to know how to spell 'pessimistic'. Jesus, chocolate and music, and good company solves all problems.
Can I join too? :(
i think the only none depressing country song you didn't listen was "Whiskey Lullaby"...jsut kidding hope you feel better soon
Give me a call anytime. You don't even need to talk about anything. I can natter on for hours about the stupid stunts I pull in Chem class...you'd forget about everything.
The other day I was down and out and did the exact same thing. Wishing you were here.
