Owl City Fever

Journal Entry: Tue Nov 10, 2009, 7:12 PM
Owl City Fever

It all began one recent night with Alex playing Ocean Eyes quietly on her Mac as I was working on my workstation next to her. Who IS that? I asked after half-listening, focused on my project. Then the tunes started to tunnel into my subconscious, before I realized it. I started smiling without even realizing I was doing it, my spirit lifted as though it had wings. I can’t explain the feeling, maybe the closest would be ‘a lightness of being, that radiated through my whole body’ . Weird, I know. I’m a Cynic and a Dreamer known to Flights of Fantasy, but most days I’m pretty well grounded.

Owl City Fever
If you are susceptible, you may experience some or all of these:

Symptoms:
•when listening to Ocean Eyes, a huge smile resonates from deep in your soul and spreads through your body, erupting in a silly grin you just can’t wipe off your face.
•running barefoot in the snow without feeling cold
•dancing naked in the rain
•as you close your eyes and turn up the volume, you deliriously take flight on the wings of possibility
• pure joy and lightness of being

Warning:
This music is highly contagious. It makes me feel infinite and one with the divine spirit and all that I do and create is through that divine spirit. May I never recover!

Dear Adam, thank you for sharing your gift of love and joy of creation, your wings of fantasy. May success never change you, even as Owl City Fever spreads throughout the world. And may the world respect your private space, so you will always have time to dream of Fireflies and Vanilla Twilight.

For the rest of you normal people, I’m sorry if you think I’ve gone completely mad. Maybe I have. I am ridiculously happy and there’s no outward reason I should be.

Reminds me of an old poem by Shel Silverstein that I still love and believe in:

"Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me...
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be."

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs

oh, they do that if the print file isn't big enough to produce a quality print.
I do my own printing, I don't trust DA, though they're probably fine at it. I'm just anal.
