5 songs for putting that smile back on your face.

You know what I'm talking about, the kind of day that makes you question everything. From why your coffee tastes like a cup of stale ass, to the purpose of it all.

In the grand scheme of things, things always work out, and good music is a catalyst for hope. 

Here's some songs that'll have butterflies shooting out of your ass in no time. They're my favorite songs and for good reason.

My Girl - The Temptations

There's just something about this band of misfits in their purple suits and their pseudo-melancholic voices.

I guess you'll say what can make you feel this way? The Temptations... 

Beautiful Day - U2

Soulful, simple and a reminder that days are just what you want to make of them, if you want to be a grumpy, melancholic mess of a human being, then hey... Power to you, because it's your choice.

Better Things - The Kinks

Sometimes you just need to know that there's a silver lining in the clusterfuck of a cloud you're floating around in. The Kinks can help you out there.

Patience - Take That

Then there are those days when you have a genuine quandaries, not just your regular Monday Blues. Take that. A little patience. Have a little, if not a lot

Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

There's nothing like a little Louis Armstrong number to set your spirits soaring. Old Satchmo's got a voice that can put a new born to sleep, and put a smile back on your face.

Have a great, great day! :D

Entertain Yourself on an Airplane

Two hundred years ago, the last question a man would ask is how he would entertain himself flying in the sky, in a metal cocoon; faster than the speed of sound miles above the earth.

Sometimes you've got to wait for another bus

Run Run Run, The Bells ringing, The conductor's smiling coyly and it's time to go!

Have you ever noticed Mumbai's BEST buses? If vehicles were people, BEST buses are the assholes you see in a lift hitting the close door button when they see you approaching.

The conductor sees you, but they still choose to yank their little chain and get going.

Why you ask? Well because that's what they do.

They're quite popular you know, BEST buses. They've got shit to do. If they're going to have to pull over for every fucktard in a shirt and leather shoes they're never going to go anywhere.

Maybe it's your fault for expecting the bus to wait for you. Maybe you aren't destined to get on that bus anyway, ever considered that asshole? 

No... You haven't considered that, You harbor misdirected anger towards the bus, you hate the bus, for doing it's job.

Maybe you're the one that's fucked up.

Thank god I've been driving for 5 years.

But it still makes sense doesn't it?

Gateway Musings.

Monument raised, honor is a nicety,

niceties must be observed, nicely.

400 make a monument, for and with.

Someone tell them, who the fuck is George the Fifth?

If you stand, observe and see.

All this power and need for niceties,

You've learnt a lesson for and with,

You've learnt a lesson from George the Fifth.

Make a mark before you arrive,

It all begins when you know you're alive,

Carpe Diem, There is no losing,

When you have your own, Gateway musing.

I've come to realize that claiming to be an advocate of existential nihilism in your early twenties is just a copacetic way of saying you're a grumpy bitch.

In the grand scheme of things, problems are universe specific. Your universe is yours alone and that being said, Parakeets are not part of your universe. Only you are.

Wisdom from the Father

Dad: I don't expect you to pay attention to me when I try to teach you something, I never did when your Grand Father lectured me. Whatever I did learn was from things he said and did at moments when he wasn't explicitly trying to teach me something. His sense of being was a textbook that I gladly referred to.
