Feeling of Renewal

I just heard a song of hope. It's called Need You Tonite by Mylo. You definitely need to listen to this song to know what I'm taking about.

Last weekend I did a lot of things I'm not accustomed to. Riding on a motorcycle with my good friend through LA, drinking alcohol, and eating vegan are just a few things that come to mind. If I had known the restaurant I was going to was vegan then I probably would not have ordered from there in the first place. But once I came up to the counter of M Cafe and ordered the Tuna Burger I was told at the point of transaction that I was in a vegan haven. The cashier encouraged me to try it out, so I did.

At first my body rejected the food. It wasn't used to it. I only finished half of my burger which is rare because usually I finish all my food plus the remaining food of anyone nearby (preferably strangers). As I struggled with wolfing the burger down my friend kept trying to sell me on how purified I would feel after eating it. Boy was he right, and boy was I dumb.

The next morning, my body felt completely renewed. A strong new pulse ran through my entire body. I felt like anything was physically possible. On top of that, I still had another half of sandwich to ingest and feel rejuvenated from. After eating that my body felt a body high it has never felt before. This is how I explained the feeling to my friends that morning.

"It feels like my entire body is asleep. That's how good I feel."

Like Southern California, I myself was in a drought before the rain came this week: a Download Drought. I had no new music in my life to keep me going. No soundtrack to play in the background as I made history for myself. Nothing to remember this era of my life that I'm currently in. For two weeks I rode the train to a job that wouldn't even last to the end of the month. I don't have an Mp3 player so I don't listen to music everywhere I go. Music was not allowed at work. And by the time I came home I was too tired to explore any new music avenue. The mute button was on in my life.

Mylo - Need You Tonite. There aren't many lyrics in this song, which are the types of songs I usually generate towards. It brings me out of whatever kind of funk I'm in. I found it by cruising through related videos on Youtube. I can't remember where I started but somehow I ended up on this song. It's nice when things happen like that. Just let yourself go. Preplanning can be overrated. I personally think planning is something society made up. No other organism plans its life out; they follow their instincts. My instincts led me to this song. I wonder where they'll take me tonight.
