Every now and then, when things are down, something clicks and snaps into place in my head. It’s a mystery how it works really, but in my mind, I always hear the sound of a light switch being flicked on, and before I know it, all the lights overhead are on; white and glaring. It’s always the same scene; me getting up from the warehouse floor, staring at the immense white space that simply is. There is no beginning and so far, there appears to be no end to the warehouse. I’m right smack in the middle of an empty, large warehouse, filled with this sense of being and here and now. It’s kinda like a scene from the X-Files where Mulder and Scully discover one of those top secret labs or hangers in Area 51 and you feel that light anticipation building into a heavier sense of dawning and realisation.
And just this morning, I’ve discovered the perfect theme song to accompany this light-switch-warehouse-feeling. This emotion had burst within me suddenly at around 11 pm last night when I reached some sort of snapping point and realised that I didn’t really care anymore. It’s probably due to the state of mind that I’ve been in recently, but right now, the song Hole in the head by the Sugababes encapsulates how I feel.
The following snippets from the song are by far my favourite ones.
Seven hours since you went away
Eleven coffees,Rickki Lake on play,
But late at night when I'm feeling blue,
I'd sell my ass before I think of you.
Eleven hours on a brand new day,
I'm getting ready to go out and play
It's late at night, I'm caught in a groove,
I'd kiss my ass before I'm feeling blue.
Heh. Something tells me I need to hit the clubs this weekend. It’s time for me to go out and cause some mischief, before the stress of being back at work takes its toll on me.
