HEY READERS!
So now that it is fall I have been enjoying taking my lunch
breaks outside. The weather has been perfect (aka: not hot as hell or cold as
fuck).
So, where I work, my lunch break is 45 minutes long and is a nice chunk
of time to just sit outside and relax. I go out onto the lawn of the
school…aka the curb by my car…I take only the basics stuff which are my phone, my IPod, and my hostility (I bet half of you thought the
word “vodka” would be on this list…but I AM a responsible adult sometimes…HA!) …
Anyway… the only way I can survive the daily onslaught of
work is by shoving in ear buds and listening to songs that make me feel like a
badass. Songs that convince me I am more powerful than the environment around
me. I enjoy going off on my own because when dealing with the job I
need to break away from people (especially those who kick, scream, and cry all
the damn time)…So this time “away” is when I get into my “Music Video Mode”
Alright, I know readers…What the Hell is “Music Video Mode”?
Ok, “Music Video Mode” is the feeling you get when listening
to music in a dramatic or inspirational setting that is reminiscent of
something that could be filmed…in simple words…it feels like someone could film
you and be like “wow” that looks cool… It is the sense that you get where something is dramatic and a sense of reality fades away. I get this feeling ("Music Video Mode") all the time because
I have a wide selection of music that fits into numerous settings and my mind
always wanders…plus I think someone has been filming me lately so…maybe I am in
a music video…gulp…
Now “Music Video Mode” for me kicks in the most in two
different instances:
1) When
I am running. I love “Music Video Mode” when I am running because it makes time
pass by quickly and is a great distraction for when I am dying on the ground
trying to breath (I am most definitely not the healthiest of people so
listening to music also help past the time for the paramedic to arrive). Also “Music
Video Mode” happens because I am a VERY dramatic
runner. When I run, I act like a fool and air drum and jump over things and
act like I am being all bad ass by running on park benches and swinging from
tree branches. This also happens when I am walking or strutting my stuff haha…so
it just feels very music video appropriate
2) When
I am chilling out with headphones outdoors (such as when I am on my lunch
break)

Anyways how to have the “Music Video Mode” sensation:
1) Find
the right music and add it to a play list…MY play list has a bunch of CRAP
songs on it…bad songs…good songs…great songs…but non-the-less all the songs are
ones that I love to listen to. The use of the playlist adds in NO surprise song
pop ups. Think of it like this…you don’t want to have to switch six songs in
order to get into your groove and ruin the moment…
2) Find
a breeze…Alright it may sound stupid but trust me…the breeze just adds in classiness.
Feel the breeze rush through your hair and look into it if you want added drama
and intensity.
3) Find THAT exact point between shade and sun…ya know…that point where the shade meets the
sun…for example a leafy pasture or wooded area filled with deer and other cute
rodent like creatures
4) Play
with your emotions…we all have crazy ass thoughts running through our minds...driving
us crazy…we all have moments like this, right? Moments when we need a hot
soundtrack to get us through a tough situation, or a happy one, or that feeling
of being bored off your ass? Whatever it is, it calls for the right music to
make it better. Think of it as a soundtrack for your life…so put that music on
anddddd….
5) LOOK
OUT INTO THE DISTANCE…look out…not at anything…Just look out into the distance
and squint…It does not matter if you are looking into the sun itself…let your
corneas burn! In fact with the loss of vision and the fact of how your eyes
will dry out so quickly from lack of blinking your sense of hearing will heighten
bringing the music video experience to life.
6) When
in doubt…dance it out…Feel free to sway and clap and shake it down…
Anyway, just as a warning…you may look like a moron to
everyone else around you…but enjoy the feeling!
SO…..
