Music, friends, and dreams. What a positively-happily- combustible combination. It’s late Friday, it’s blog day and EndorphinGirl™ just hung up a Skype chat with good friend Ing Rid from one of those countries with the sunny summer nights.
During the Skype conversing, blogging came up, music videos came up, and friendship naturally happened
so it all came
together. Today’s blog is tied into music and friends. . . and dreams. You’ll get the dreams part later in the blog. And
yes they all tie into endorphin enhancement!
Music is clearly an endorphin enhancer, well especially for EndorphinGirl™. Not a day goes by when she doesn’t listen
to
music. She doesn’t really have any particular favorite genre. She likes everything from pop, to soft rock, to classical, to unclassical, to R&B, to Motown, to downtown, to uptown, to Bruce,
to Carole K., to Andre B., to George Winston, to James Graseck, to dance music, to sleep music, to party music, to opera, to . . .well . . and so on.
Friends are clearly an endorphin enhancer, well especially for EndorphinGirl™. Not a day goes by when she doesn’t connect in some way with a friend. It might be Skyping, on the mobile or cell (depending on which country you are from), at the gym, at work, in the hood, during travels, over coffee, going for a jog, running errands. Well you get the idea.
Dreams are also clearly an endorphin enhancer, well especially for EndorphinGirl™. Without dreams, ah that would be awful. According to Wikipedia dreams “are successions of images, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep." Oh wait a minute, those are dreams of the sleeping persuasion. Yeah, EndorphinGirl™ can clearly appreciate sleep dreams, and experiences the endorphin state during a narcolepsy encounter too. But she was actually thinking of dreams of the daydreaming sort!
Once again borrowing from Wikipedia daydreaming "is a short-term detachment from one's immediate surroundings, during which a person's contact with reality is blurred and partially substituted by a visionary fantasy, especially one of happy, pleasant thoughts, hopes or ambitions, imagined as coming to pass, and experienced while awake.” Whoa, that was a long definition! And no doubt not unfamiliar to EndorphinGirl™ or bloggees, but still worth a mention! Daydreaming clearly sounds like an endorphin enhancer. Especially that part about the happy, pleasant thoughts coming to pass while awake.
EndorphinGirl™ likes to daydream. Well for instance, it is good to detach and get blurred from reality momentarily at least several times a day! Okay perhaps that many times in a day is an aberation, but at least sometimes. And EndorphinGirl™ believes ‘if you dream it, it will come’. So the daydreaming part of this blog – endorphin enhancer? Yes!
There is a lot of happiness going on in today's blog. Music, friends, and dreams. And it’s Friday night, so this is very good that the endorphins are enhanced just in time for the weekend.
Are you wondering how this all ties together? Here’s how. Good friend Ing Rid, had previously sent some enjoyable music videos courtesy of YouTube to EndorphinGirl™. These videos came up in the Skype conversing. Two of the music videos are Susan Boyle singing.
In the first music video, Susan Boyle appeared on a reality music competition show in the UK. When asked prior to her singing who she aspired to be like, she said Elaine
Paige. She was poopooed because the judging panel and the audience could not imagine based on a ‘book cover’ assessment of her appearance that she could sing. Boy was that audience
and judge panel wrong. Boy could she sing. It was that goose-bumping-type-of-singing. She was that good.
In the second music video from Ing Rid, Susan Boyle’s
dream
is no longer a dream and no longer blurred from reality; it is now reality. Not only did she win the competition but she also got the chance to sing a duet with Elaine
Paige. Pretty cool!
So that's how it all ties together - music, friends, dreams. EndorphinGirl™ has made her connections to this blog and hopes her bloggees can do the same!
And here are links to those goose-bumping-music-vidoes by way of Ing Rid from that sunny-summer-nights country! Thanks Ing Rid!
