My life is awesome

I am in a fabulous mood today. I feel wonderful and invincible and like I can do anything. It's been too long since I've felt this way! I refuse to stop being happy today.

It's probably because I've been listening to my "empowerment" playlist nonstop. And because Dane Cook is a funny, funny man and his new CD is coming out July 26. And HP & the Half-Blood Prince comes out in 15 fucking days. (!!!)

And because I'm going to see my dog/family tomorrow.

And because one of my favorite authors responded to an email I sent her.

And because it's Friday. And I only have two hours of work left. And it's payday.

And because I felt like writing for the first time in forever today. I almost want to skip out on the end of work and go write in a ... field ... somewhere. (?) I've got a really good story idea bubbling around in my head and I want to get it out.

And because I got mail today. Even if it was a bill.

And because I was feeling like I was having a "fat day" today and then I thought "what does it matter?"

And because I have incredible friends. Do you guys know how amazing you are? You make life worth living. I am lucky to know you.

I have so many good things in my life. I don't know why I focus on the negatives so often, because the good things are so much better.

I don't want to go back to work. I want to go dance around in the streets and sing at the top of my lungs. I love being alive...and I haven't even watched Garden State in at least two months.

Moments/days like these make all the other shitty moments in life okay.

Oh, my god...

Luther Vandross died!!! :( :( :(

He definitely wrote/performed two of my absolute favorite songs ever, "Dance With My Father" & "Love the One You're With."

R.I.P., Luther. You were the fucking man. :/ :(
