My Morning Mixes: From A “HOLY DIVER” To A “JUDAS”

Good Morning, My Peeps.

Wow…

…It Has Already Been A Very Long Day.

I Was Rudely Awakened By Myself Around 4A.M. And Haven’t Felt Like Doing Much Since Then.

My Body Aches.

My Head Aches.

When I Awoke…

…My First Thought Was…

"Who The Hell Ordered This Hangover?"

…Until I Realized…

"You Didn't Do Anything That Should Prompt A Hangover, Dude."

And That’s True…

…I Didn’t Do Anything.

So Why The Groggy Feeling?

Why The Morning Surprise Of Feeling As Though I Had Awakened Within A Fog?

I Simply Do Not Know.

It Is…

…However…

…The Second Time This Has Happened In The Past Three Days.

(*shrugs*)
(*sighs*)

I Simply Dunno, Ya Know Ya Know?!

ANYWAY…

…Onto Better Things.

The Morning Walk-About Was Handled Quickly Enough.

I Wanted To Get Out And Move…

…And Did My Best To Feed That Want.

I Didn’t Get Very Far From The House…

…But There Are Enough Side-Streets And Such…

…So I Was Able To Zigzag About.

The Walk Was Short…

…Sweet…

…And Loaded With Great Tunage.

I Decided To Switch-Up My Morning Method, Also.

I Let All The Music Be Decided By Random Chance EXCEPT For My Final Song.

That Song Was A Personal Pre-Selection.

The Walk Began At Random With…

HOLY DIVER

by DIO

πŸ™‚

It’s A Classic Jam I’ve Known (almost) My Whole Life…

…So It Was A Pleasant Surprise When “Mr. Shuffle” Decided Upon It.

That Guy Has Fun Taste…

…Sometimes.

πŸ˜‰

Anyway…

…That Carried Over To The Second Song…

LIVE AND LET DIE

by PAUL McCARTNEY And WINGS

πŸ™‚

…AND…

…To The Third Song…

“(JUST LIKE) STARTING OVER

by JOHN LENNON

πŸ™‚

Now…

…By This Point In The Walk…

…I Feel Nadda But High Praise For “Mr. Shuffle”…

…As He’s Hittin’ Me Hard With Quality Jams.

Next Up Was…

THE BAD TOUCH

by BLOODHOUND GANG

πŸ™‚

…And Then…

RAISE YOUR HANDS

by BON JOVI

πŸ™‚

Awesome Jams, I Must Say.

Some Of My Fave Faves Were Popping-Up Today.

It’s Easy To Derive MotivationalΒ Sustenance From Something When It’s Making You Happy To Be Doing What You’re Doing.

I’m One Who’s Not Generally In The Best Of Moods…

…But This Morning’s Walk Was Different.

Fired Back At Me Next Was…

UP AROUND THE BEND

by CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

πŸ™‚

…Which Is Always A Plus Plus Jam, Fo SHO!

As That One Was Ending…

…I Quickly Pushed The Next Button…

…And A Little…

DAVID BOWIE

…With…

SLOW BURN

…Was Laid Upon Me.

πŸ™‚

Now That, To Me, Is A Killer Great Jam.

I Know A Lot Of People Who Entirely Did Not Like That DAVID BOWIE Album…

…But You Can Rest Assured I Wasn’t One Of Those.

I Can GENERALLY Find A Couple Two Or Three Jams On Almost Any Album That I’d Call Worth A Listen.

ANYWAY…

…Moving On, Moving On…

…Up Next Was…

LONGVIEW

by GREEN DAY

πŸ™‚

…And Quickly Thereafter Was…

L.O.V.

by FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

πŸ™‚

The Final Song Of The Morning…

…As The Headline Suggests…

…Was…

JUDAS

(LIVE)

by DEPECHE MODE

πŸ™‚

I Wanted Something Slower To Calm Down With As I Ended My Little Wandering…

…And This Was The Song I’d Pre-Selected For Today.

It’s A True Gem Of A Song…

…And One…

…Sadly…

…Most People Have Never Heard…

…Nor Have They Ever Heard Of It.

They Know The Name “JUDAS” But They Have/Had No Clue It Was Ever A Song.

ANYWAY, My Peeps…

…It Was A Nice Walk-About…

…And I Was A Hot-&-Sweaty Mess When I Cruised Back To The Ranch.

I’ve Been Trying To Relax Since…

…But Am Having Trouble Doing So.

SO SO SO…

…I Decided That, Perhaps, A Little Blogging Would Aide In My Quest For Relax Glory.

And It Appears To Be Working…

…At Least A Tad.

At This Point…

…I’ll Take A Tad, Fo Flippin’ SHO, Kiddies.

πŸ˜‰

Hope All Is Well In Your Worlds, Cats AND Kittens.

Things Appear To Be, At The Least, Somewhat Functional In Mine.

I’ll Take That, Also.

YOU KNOW IT!!!

πŸ˜€

My Morning Mixes: Bound For Glory? Could Be! =)

Good Morning, My Peeps.

πŸ™‚

T’Is A VERY Warm Start To A Sunday, That’s Fo SHO.

Like They Say, Though, It’s The Humidity That’s A Killer.

(hehehe)

You’ll Be Pleased To Know I Hit-The-Sack VERY EARLY Last Night.

T’Was A VERY Good Feeling To Awaken…

…Sans Alarm…

…At (almost) Exactly 5:30AM…

…And To Be In A Damned Decent Mood About It.

I’m An Early Riser, Yes.

It’s A Nasty Habit That Has Yet To Dissipate.

In Fact…

…I Think It Has Become Worse.

Is That A Sign I’m Getting Old?

Reminds Me Of A Song By The Band…

MORPHINE

…Called…

EARLY TO BED

…In Which They State…

Early To Bed…

…And Early To Rise…

…Makes A Man Or Woman…

…Miss Out On The Night Life.

(hehehe)

That Song Isn’t Part Of This Edition Of “MY MORNING MIXES”…

…But Perhaps It’ll Pop-Up Again At Some Point.

πŸ˜‰

ANYWAY…

…Moving On, Moving On.

This Morning’s Walk-About Was EXCELLENT, My Peeps.

The Ole Hometown Was More Like Ye Ole Ghost-Town.

I Didn’t See One Other Person Wandering About.

Only Saw 4 Vehicles In Motion, Actually.

It Was Very Still.

It Was Very Quiet.

It Was Very Very…

…Hmm…

…Well…

…Eerie?

πŸ™‚

Upon Leaving The House…

…I Decided It Was The Perfect Morning For A Great Jam.

The Walk Began With…

BOUND FOR GLORY

by TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

πŸ˜€

If You’ve Not Heard Anything From Them Yet…

…Y0u Really REALLY Should Treat Yourselves, My Bros & Sises!

TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

…Are Simply AMAZING…

…And PERFECT For Use As A Motivational Tool.

TRUST ME, My Peeps.

TRUST ME, Indeed.

I Followed Them Up With…

SURE KNOW SOMETHING

by KISS

πŸ˜€

And THEN A Little…

CHUCK BERRY

…With…

YOU NEVER CAN TELL

πŸ˜€

By This Point…

…I’m Totally In Cruise Mode.

So I Pop On…

LET’S DANCE

by DAVID BOWIE

πŸ˜€

…And Then…

DEPECHE MODE‘s

MARTYR

πŸ˜€

I Kicked It Down A Notch At This Point.

Decided I Needed Me Some…

TOM PETTY

…So I Jammed-It-Hard With…

MARY JANE’S LAST DANCE

πŸ˜€

…And Then Went Directly Into His…

FREE FALLIN’

πŸ˜€

At About This Point I Figured I Was Already Into Cool-Down-Mode.

So It Seemed Right To Kick-On…

NEVER SAY GOODBYE

by BON JOVI

πŸ˜€

And I Was Right…

…I Was Totally Into My Cool-Down-Mode…

…But I Wasn’t Finished With My Walk.

The Final Song Of The Morning Was Sort-Of Out Of Left-Field.

I Simply Pressed My MP3Player’s RANDOM-PLAY Button.

And It Fired Back At Me With…

KINGS OF MEDICINE

by PLACEBO

πŸ˜€

πŸ˜€ Β  Β  πŸ˜€

YEP YEP YEP!!!

T’Was A Wondrous Wandering, My Peeps.

I Haven’t Sweat That Much In Who Knows How Long.

I Was Ready For A Shot Of Water…

…AND A Large Cup-O-Joe…

…Upon My Return Home.

Sound Like A Damned Decent Morning To Y’all?!?

EXACTLY!!!

That’s How It FELT To ME!!!

I’ll Be Checking In With Y’all Throughout The Day, Fo SHO, My Peeps.

Until Then…

πŸ˜€

“You… You Got A Nasty Reputation… We’re In A Sticky Situation… It’s Down To ME And YOU…” — BON JOVI (“Raise Your Hands” (1986))

…So Tell Me, Is It True?…

…They Say There Ain’t Nobody Better…

…Well, Now That We’re Together…

…Show Me What You Can Do…

…You’re Under The Gun…

…Out On The Run…

…Gonna Set The Night On Fire…

…Out On The Run…

…Under The Gun…

…Playin’ To Win…

…Raise Your Hands…

…When You Want To Let It Go…

…Raise Your Hands…

…When You Want To Let A Feeling Show…

…Raise Your Hands…

…From NEW YORK To CHICAGO…

…Raise Your Hands…

…From NEW JERSEY To TOKYO…

…Whoa, Whoa…

…Raise Your Hands! …
