It's not the typical spring day, it's a little bit too windy for me and dull. As I sit here in my apartment staring out the window, looking at nothing in particular all I can seem to see is the city buildings with a lot of branches of leaves swaying back and forth, it gets quite boring seeing the same thing most of your day.
I feel particularly odd, not too sure why. I'm thinking way too much! I have to learn to stop it even though I have a lot of "house wife" duties I need to do, clean the house, maybe bake some shortbread bunny cookies, plan some kind of a dish for dinner if i can be bothered, finish reading Nick Cave's The Death of Bunny Munro book so I can start another book.
The only problem is I've been stuck in this position of listening to 41 Original Hits from the Sound Track of American Graffiti. This is one the records I like to listen to a lot as it brings me an inner happiness, maybe it's really just wishful thinking, anyhow the movie is amazing. The sound track, even more amazing! I wish i got to live through the 1960's era as a teenager. It would have been Incredible!
I want to do swing dancing to Bill Haley and The Comets, I want to sip on milkshakes at Mel's drive in with my high school sweet-heart! Have a smile on my face all the time, wearing cute outfits playing games on pinball machines, drag racing down the streets of the Suburban California town, listen to old rock'n'roll, endless cruising in sweet old '58 Chevrolet's on a warm summers night.
As I keep listening to the songs more and more, over and over again I just dream of a life like that, it seems so perfect!
The lyrics from the songs are so meaningful and beautiful. The artists back in those days had created a true talent for lyrics and music that makes me truly happy.
