to tending to the morning hangover.
Currently being on the southern hemisphere and having just experienced the New Years excitement last night, I found myself hosting a most uncomfortable hangover this morning. It wasn't personally the most ideal way to start the year, but I figured I'd inspect the 2011 year on behalf of the world (that had yet to embrace the New Year) then relive it once more, in celebration with most of my friends and family (no matter how far away I may be).
Now the cure to this mornings aggravated waking moments and throbbing headache was a quick nanomeal (my go to morning shake!) and a hop into the shower. To soothe the deranged look and perturbed vibe I was in, I turned to Jack Johnson.
Jack's mellow 'flow through life' vibe seemed to be just the trick, putting my system in check once again. I put on a shuffle mix of his In Between Dreams and On & On albums. There's definitely something prevalent in Jack's sound that really brings a piece of his home and sense of well being to you. I can just feel the many stresses of the world melt away- picturing the soft sand beneath my back, tall palm trees shade me in just the right amount, while melting into the soft breeze and sounds of the surf...
I later checked out his website to watch that music video, "At Or With Me" with Andy Samberg, which I can't help but find so entertaining! It just cracks me up and puts me in such a good mood. I can't help but smile. Much like the ridiculousness of The Lonely Island's - "I'm on a boat". Absolutely love the ingeniousness and sense of humor that can be brought to music!
In the shower with soft tunes... not too fast to irritate, but slow enough to soothe, put me in a pleasantly, clean mood. It reminded me to take my time. Life can just flow- so what's the rush? With light notes that simply perked me up, I was feeling better in no time! New Year's 2011 part 2, here I come! Maybe not so much champagne this time though...
the sound of love,
Attie
