Looking back, it eerily feels like it was someone else who did that. At times, I swear, I can look back and it feels like some zombie took control and made me do something that seemingly was a genius move! It makes me look fondly at the right (or left?) hemisphere and praise it for its wonderful foresight.
Then moving on to the other hemisphere, it seems like it is the hemisphere that is all at sea, lost without a clue and loving it! It is that hemisphere that makes me shake my head and close my eyes as I attempt to obtain nirvana as I listen to some song that, at the time, feels like the best song ever written! I eagerly log on to my facebook and add that song and wait for my fellow friends to congratulate me for finding such a masterpiece! Time passes with no likes and no "wow, I cant believe I have lived so long without knowing music like this" comments... I then proceed to crib on how artistically and musically challenged my friends are.. I then tell myself that perhaps I should give them some slack, since the only obvious explanation for this situation is that they haven’t logged on to fb and maybe I should give them more time before lashing out at them... I must mention though, most times this happen, I am a bit, er, lets say, under the influence of the effects of ethyl alcohol in my blood stream.
So, I wake up the next day, with the fond memories of the evening before and the lovely songs that changed my outlook of life and music and quickly log on to facebook hoping that my friends have acknowledged my efforts in sharing such a marvellous piece of art to the world and enviously wonder how I seem to find music like this so easily... To my surprise, there are no comments/likes! I now shake my head at the unfortunate situation where a masterpiece has been lost to the tone deaf ears of my friends! I mumble to myself at this tragedy and stumble across to start my morning routine.. I then decide to make my morning/afternoon infinitely better by playing that ever so awesome song once more... I click the play button and nonchalantly proceed to apply the paste on that worn out brush that I keep promising to have replaced the next time I go to the supermarket... Suddenly, I am made aware of horrid yet strangely familiar tune emanating from my laptop speakers... I head over to the laptop to inspect this strange noise even though there is an exponential amount of foam that seems to be appearing out of one of those 12 dimensions postulated by the string/membrane theory physicists.. It takes a minute, but I finally realise that the horrid tune was in fact that very same formerly angelic song of last night that reality has distorted into something that bears no resemblance to what my memory served me.. The fb post "band x- title of song, a masterpiece that transcends beyond all known awesomeness" begins to sound like the words uttered by a musically retarded person... I stare at the screen unable to understand what took place, a blown up mouth with the 6th dimension foam adds an unnecessary urgency to this embarrassing situation... I then proceed to head back to the bathroom consoling myself that the very fact that my friends did not post probably means they didn't hear it..
Phew! that was a close one, just like the last twenty odd posts I made before...
