Earworm of the morning...

[elfs]

I usually wake up with some song running through my head, and usually I can make some connection between the song and my current state of mind. Today's morning song was Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet. I've always been a Jimmy Buffet fan– it's sorta de rigeur when you spend your teenage years in the Florida keys– and that song is his biggest hit.

I can sorta understand the logic of it. I do feel a bit like I'm wasting away without real work or real money coming in. On the other hand, I haven't had much alcohol since I got laid off. I think I've had all of one beer and one glass of wine, and that's about it. I've never been much of a drinker and I've been known to fill a glass of wine and find it untouched on my desk in the morning. So I ask my brain, "Why Margaritaville?" and get no answer.

Coincidentally, my iPod presented me with Margaritaville first this morning and followed it with Cheeseburger in Paradise. Dunno the reason, but it certainly made me start my commute with a smile.

Dude, it's a state of mind.

^ this. Alcohol or any other intoxicant is purely optional. (although probably recommended by the artist.)

Maybe you know it's nobody's fault.

Pandora tossed that one up at me this morning. Not sure why, it's *way* out of my musical realm. I wouldn't have noticed it without your post :-)

If you know anything about SYDA or Siddha yoga:

Wasting away again in Muktananda-ville
Looking for my lost Inner Self
Some people claim that there's a karma to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault.
