Musical Pipe Dream: I sit down at a vacant piano at the mall and start playing around on the keys and transition into this song. My voice is quiet yet strong and people in the food court look over while they chew. I continue to sing and play and a woman at Panda Express calls out somebody for not paying for their 3 item combo.

Blurb 1/365: The half filled signifies an optimist. The half empty glass signifies a pessimist. But what if the half filled glass thought that was all to being a glass and it never strived to be filled with anymore liquid and just waited to evaporate? And the half empty glass thought of future rainy days and fresh squeezed orange juice?

Song of the Day: The Way I Feel Inside by The Zombies

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m sitting alone in a room in front of the organ that we had in our house when I was growing up. After playing with the rainbow colored auto-play buttons that offered beats such as: cha-cha, rock-n-roll, and jazz, everything is quiet and I start to sing this song. I play the harmonizing keys and finish the song. Then the doorbell rings and I sit in complete silence until the unknown visitor goes away.

Song of the Day: Leader of the Pack by The Shangri-Las

Musical Pipe Dream: My pipe dream lies in the seconds of the song between 1m35sec and 1m45sec. It’s all in slow motion. I’m in a gang of girls. We’re all wearing short waisted mini skirts with knee high socks and platform shoes. Our long sleeve, button down shirts are cotton candy pink which matches our lipstick and the pink bubble gum that we’re chewing with our mouths open. Each of us is carrying a tool of mischief over our shoulders; a wooden baseball bat, a golf club, a crowbar. Our heavily lined eyes define our glares as we walk towards an onlooker with our backs to a dismantled car.

Blurb 1/365: Tomorrow, I will have McDonald’s for breakfast. Nothing starts off a weekend right more than an Egg McMuffin and an oval hash brown.

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m sitting on the floor cross-legged and continuously turning the crank on a Jack-in-the-Box that’s rigged to make a climbing chime sound.

Blurb 1/365: I feel lucky that I’ve got a family with which I can shoot the breeze, eat, drink, swear, and just be together without anything fancy.
