the thin line between optimism and delusion…

This morning, I was running late (as usual), it was kind of rainy, and really dark, and I just wasn’t feeling it.  I needed some inspiration. 

BUT – never fear – the DJs at magic 102.1 knew exactly what I needed.  I needed to hear Man in Motion – and remember that St. Elmo’s Fire is burning in me – the theme song for all of us who don’t know what to do with our lives, our terminal crushes, our bitching wife and child, our dying stepmonsters, our cheating boyfriends who want to marry us and get us pregnant, our political careers, and our raging cocaine habit in the first few years out of college. 

So, I called Jennifer, and as luck would have it she was already at work – which I saw as a sign from God that it was going to be a good day – and I turned up my car stereo quite loud – and let her share that special moment moment with me –

"
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin’ sky
I’ll be where the eagle’s flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future’s lyin’, St. Elmo’s Fire

    Just once in his life  –  a man has his time
    and my time is now!, I’m coming a – live!"
