my sunday, and how to make me happie

so, do you ever have those days when you feel nothing can bring you down? Even though you probably should be pissed or irked, you aren't? Well it was Sunday for me.

I woke up and i was in a pretty decent mood. I knew i was going to be driving to Clinton, Illinois for a Wal-Mart trip [more to follow] so i got up and decided i would spend some time cleaning up my apartment so i started iTunes and began to clean.

Everything was going well and then this song came on [i am listening to it again], "ladyflash" by The GO! Team. I hesitated for a second then burst into some sort of sublime uninhibited body moving. The song just drove my body crazy [in a great way] and i was dancing. I was literally unable to wipe the grin off my face for a good hour [swear to god].

So i got in my car and began to drive, 35 min west to Clinton, get there and had no hangers [Ok, so i am working on a group project in which we are using a 'mundane' material to construct a pavilion and the specific plastic hanger we need is only sold at Wal-Mart, but we need like 1000 of them, so we decided to spilt up and drive to different local Wal-Marts, i choose west]. Know what? Did not bring me down. I got in my car and drove the 20 minutes to Decatur. First Super-Store Wal-Mart, nothing. Drove another 10 minutes to Decatur Wal-Mart #2 and i found a pretty decent stash [200 hangers].

So the moral of the story is though is that i remained completely unstressed/ irritated. It was great. Then i drove 45 minutes back to Champaign and worked with my group till about 1am building a structure of hangers.

I had a great day, thank you, The GO! Team.


Don't believe the song will make you crap your pants it is so happie? Watch it.

BTW - if any of you are in Champaign-Urbana and want to see our plastic hanger pavilion, come by Temple Hoyne Buell Hall and look in the atrium. Since it is a competition [secrecy and what not], i will post some pictures when the submission deadline passes.
