Hello there Reader? How's your day.
"Sunny Days" makes me think of Sesame Street which I've always disliked. I have no idea why I disliked it so much, but yeah. That's my train of thought at the moment.
Okay, let me preface this by saying I accidentally stumbled into playing the two songs Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye and Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson at the same time. Crazy awesome songs to play on top of each other with their opposite moods and meanings. So that was my little happy discovery of the morning.
The weather yesterday was amazing! It was way too warm and sunny for a day in March, but I don't even care. I walked back to my dorm late last night in jeans and a sweatshirt... I love sweatshirt weather where there's enough chill in the air to feel refreshing but not enough to make you shiver. I love it. It was epic and nearly impossible to be in a bad mood.
Still, this whole March thing is making me crave green. I just can't wait to be able to see green again. I've never really liked St. Patrick's Day at all, but right now I am totally wishing I was Irish. Someone once told me Megan was an Irish name... 5 points to anyone who can verify this for me. I don't really think I'm craving summer at the moment, nah, just content for spring. Plus I really miss the squirrels! I just need a nice patch of grass, some warm weather, and maybe a nice dock and fishing rod. OooOOOoo, I wouldn't mind a hammock in a shady spot... *happy sigh*
While yesterday was sunny and warm, today is rainy as all get out. You should see the puddles! It's still warm, and I'm not even minding the rain as much as I usually would. It's kind of weird, you know when your internal mood coincides with the external weather? You know what I'm talking about right? That's not the case today. I feel super sunny despite the rain and today it isn't as if my mood and the weather are canceling each other out. Nah. It's like my mood is attributing different characteristics to the rain. I'm actually enjoying it overall. I wish I could say the same for my hair... it kind of doesn't like that whole moisture thing.
Let's all take one collective breath. I have a feeling it's going to be a good week, even if I do have that 8 page psychology paper to crank out... Oh well.
Be well, be epic.

Waves
Hey Reader,
How's it going? I am once again procrastinating slightly, but I swear I will be productive tonight, then I get to hang out with little kids tomorrow morning. I'm excited. So, it is 6:02 and I'm kinda just waiting for people before dinner and then there's an event going on tonight. It's work time after that, I swear.
Life is filled with all sorts of little epic coincidences. Lately I've noticed that life seems to be composed of two separate waves, like sound waves kinda--there's the internal wave which consists of things like emotions, thoughts, personal goals etc. It's pretty much everything internalized, and given the name, is subject to very frequent ups and downs, even within the span of a day. Then there's the second wave consisting of everything external like events, weather, luck, etc. It's everything external to ourselves and can get a little out of hand sometimes, though we can control it in little ways, such as putting ourselves in specific situations or controlling how we react. As with the internal wave, this wave also has ups and downs. Duh, it's a wave.
Now, what I find interesting is how the waves interact with each other. I mean think of it. If an external wave crest matches up with an internal wave trough, they cancel out, and vice versa. This can be way cool if you're having a bad day and then something amazing happens--like seeing an incredible performance. *cough* *cough* Preston Pugmire. (Look him up, he's great to watch.) I mean, even if you're having a bad day and something good coincides, yet the waves don't exactly match up, the roughness is eased and life just becomes better.
Sure, these waves can cancel each other out and essentially, mellow you out, but they can also build each other up or rip each other down further. Take the sun for example, say you are feeling great and then you walk outside and it's a beautiful day--you see an incredible sun reflecting off all the surfaces and BAM, your good mood is now amplified by the great weather. Unfortunately this can also work in reverse. Say you're feeling rotten and then you find out you bombed a test or something like that. The bad mood is now amplified as well.
For the sake of optimism, let's focus on when internal positivity and general happiness coincides with external positivity and possibly good luck. We cannot isolate the two waves to examine them separately, but I highly doubt our lives would be as intense--yes it can sometimes be intensely painful, but it can also be intensely wonderful, and those times when the wave crests coincide is when epicness occurs.
So, live for the epic times when the crests coincide, they'll get you through the times when the troughs do. However, also be aware that the frequency is by no means static. Don't think that life has a set pattern for you, chances are it doesn't. Just enjoy the spontaneity of it all.
Be well, be excellent, be bloody brilliant!
