[CHRIS breathes in...out...]
TOT: Now imagine yourself on a raft...floating...floating in the middle of a calm, warm Caribbean bay...
[CHRIS wonders what season this is, when the Caribbean is both warm and calm, but tries hard to push those distracting thoughts away]
TOT: It's nighttime. Lay on your back and look up at the stars... Say to yourself, "I am alive, and I am on a raft. I am looking up at the stars."
CHRIS: "I am alive, and I am on a raft." [CHRIS pauses to remember what came after that...ah, yes] "I am looking up at the stars."
TOT: You lose yourself in the stars.
CHRIS: I lose myself in the stars.
TOT: You become dizzy and sleepy, and you realize something. Do you know what you realize?
CHRIS: What do I realize?
TOT: You realize that the focal point of the universe is far, far away. You feel small. But do you know what else you feel?
CHRIS: What else do I feel?
TOT: You feel...free.
[At the sound of this hippie bullshit CHRIS opens his eyes and flicks off the CD player. All he feels is tired and he's got a midterm in 10 hours.]
Today I've had to remind myself that world does not revolve around me, and considering the current condition of the world and most of the people in it, that's an extremely positive thing.
Today's Musical Insight:
"I wanna get off one time and not apologize. I wanna get off one time and look you in the eye."
(I don't know.)
