There are days when you don’t feel like writing, isn’t it? This is one of those days, or has been, I think, it’s 9:46 PM here. This was until I received a message from my StumbleUpon buddy Corey Koehler who pointed me to one his latest podcast. I must say that it was enough to start listening one of the songs there and everything changed, I think this song turned my happiness hormones on, I don’t know (I’ve heard this on the radio today and stayed in my mynd, so don’t blame me, OK?).
So, just a short post that has not that much with the guitar:
Today I found myself driving in parallel with a brand new no-top red Ferrari! Damn! It is not like the first time I see one in Romania, just that it is the first time I see one IN MY CITY, BRAND NEW and HALF A METER AWAY from me. I could have just opened the window and touch it. The driver owns a large company here so he can afford it but he didn’t look to me to be the type to own a Ferrari. Just as an observation: Romania is not a poor country, you can see here a lot of the latest and hottest cars, but we still need to work on our roads so this car is not for our roads. Period. If you come to Romania, better take a 4×4. Damn, but it was beautiful!
While waiting for my wife today in the car, I surprised myself lowering my car seat, with my sun glasses on and with rock music playing loud. What a great feeling! The song was Bon Jovi’s Dead or alive. Man, I love that acoustic guitar! I think it has to do with those hormones of happiness I was speaking earlier.
And to finish my short post about nothing, here’s the song that started me:Firewind, Falling to pieces! Enjoy!
We used to own a Corvette Z06, which we brought to the UK. In the US it’s a kind of ‘blue collar’ sports car in that it’s very high performance but not so expensive that only rich people can afford it. As such, you’d see quite a few of them when in the US. In the UK, though, it was very rare, one of less than 100 in the entire country… possibly one of less than 20.
Driving it around the country made you feel like a superstar as people would try to take pictures etc, as you went past. The downside was that driving along the motorway was really dangerous as the drivers of other cars would try to take photos on their cameraphones whilst trying to overtake you!!! Usually, they’d get about 1/2 a car length in front then lose control and swerve towards you!!!!
We sold her over two years ago, but I still miss the feeling of being ’special’!!!
Looking at some pictures with the Corvette Z06 I can understand why people wanted to look at your car better. It is very beautiful, indeed, and I guess it really makes you feel special
