Pent up energy
I am so full of pent-up energy today. I feel like I could run a marathon. I'm tempted to try, but I know it's an illusion. It's actually not so much physical energy as emotional energy.
I went to a concert last night, which by rights should mean I am absolutely buggered (it's an Australian term, I'm not referring to sodomy) today, but it's had the opposite effect on me. I spent the whole concert on an incredible high (no, I wasn't on anything, just feeling the love). Afterwards I was really tired. Slept like a log. Woke up still feeling tired. Went back to sleep. Work up again and decided I should pull my sorry arse out of bed and go to uni.
Well... By the time I got to uni I was back on a high again, reminiscing about the concert and generally letting the excitement of it seep back into me. I have consequently been so distracted all day that I have got a total of about an hours work done.
You know how they say you learn one thing per day? Well, I usually try to nake sure that thing is relevant and useful to my studies, or is at least something interesting that is in my general professional field (environmental engineering/science/management and related concerns). But today I learned about Matt Bellamy, eccentric (to say the least) frontman and musical genius behind MUSE.
Did you know that he's a complete fruitloop who thinks the US government may be working towards controlling the weather, and believes there is some alien/human conspiracy in our past and the Queen (of England) may be one of the "Lizard people"? No really, it was along those lines. You probably didn't know that, but you probably didn't need to either. But as Terry Pratchett once said "Genius is always allowed some leeway, once the hammer has been pried from its hands and the blood has been cleaned up". And he's definitely a musical genius that one.
Anyway, I'll continue on my merry way through the day and stop distracting you with strange ramblings. But if you're ever after a source of natural energy (fun, if not useful), oh, and some incredibly awesome music, then I can highly recommend attending a MUSE concert. Just don't go in the mosh pit, crazy stuff happens down there.
