Mood Booster: “Just A Ride”
I found out about this wonderful Welsh artist through that stellar show called “The O.C.” (insert judgement here)
Seriously, if you look past all the deliciously bad acting (coughcoughMischaBartoncoughcough) and the dram-tastic plotlines that were too much to handle….if one thing made “The O.C.” brilliant – it was the music. Even now, years later, I hear songs and I’m like “Damn, that would have been great on ‘The O.C.’”
Kudos to the creator who picked out the tunes for the show!
Anyway, back to the original topic – “Just A Ride” ! Ahem.
Jem’s message here rings as clear and beautiful as her voice: “Well don’t you breakdown, listen to me because: it’s just a ride.” Whatever happens – know that you will be okay. Even when things seem so horrible in the moment, you have to hold on to the idea that the moment will pass. If you don’t believe me, just watch the beautiful Jem tell you so:
Damn I wish I was Welsh.
Mood Booster – “When Life Gives Me Lemons I Make Lemonade”
Optimism is pretty self explanatory – we’ve got to take life as it comes, and make the best out of every situation we are faced with.
That being said, it’s funny how often we can stray from this path.
And THAT being said….happy songs exist to turn that frown upside down!
If you are having the absolute shittyest (new word, dig it) day, just listen to my selection of what I call “Mood Boosters”.
In this entry, I dare you to listen to this song by the fantastic fun little band, The Boy Least Likely To, and NOT be instantly a little bit more hopeful/happy. They are upbeat, with a dash of quirk. Adorable.
I was thinking today about how I can be pretty bad at this whole “blogging every day” thing, and realized…its ok! It’s fine if I don’t. “It can rain all it wants on my parade/Because when life gives me lemons/I make lemonade.” Ipso facto (<—ANOTHER great word!) I will blog about things I love, and that I would love to introduce you to….when I can. I can’t let it get to me if I don’t have time to do something everything….quality….not quantity people
