Samurai Mike, this one is for you!

Jim Norton has the best timing.

Today was hectic. I worked at both schools, had 4 meetings, and filled out forms for my visa renewal..for a starter. Between schools I biked home at lunch. In my mailbox was a Hip-hop mix cd from Jim Norton.

Yay! More fuel for the day! Yay!

I knew a long day was still ahead to I quickly uploaded it into iTune and my iPod. I didn't have time to label all the tracks, and there was a mystery final track I didn't bother listening to before getting on my bike and heading back to work.

After work I biked home, threw on a clean shirt and some jewelry. To the station! To Tokyo.

What was in Tokyo after a day of work? Wataguy.

Now, Wataguy and I do coffee or dinner once every 3-4 months and then spend the time in between recovering...we've been doing this for about a year and a half now.  It's not that hanging out is painful, wish it was, its that sense absence is more keen afterwards.

We're mental...or like criminals who have to go back to look at the scene of the great heist...or maybe you'd prefer the picking at scabs analogy.

This time I'd contacted him because I wanted someone who knew me well, and my life here, to talk to about my current depression.

Prior to seeing me he usually develops a lovely stress zit on his nose. I'm more likely to break-out in a stress blush that lasts at least an hour. Mental.

On the train I started to listen to Jim's Cd. I exited the train at Ginza and my body was prepping for red as the final (mystery) song started.

You know what song cures the red, cures any pit of the stomach nerves, kills any buzzing evil bee thoughts?

The Super Bowl Shuffle is what!

Oh. My. God. I haven't heard that song in 22 years!!!!! I was in high school and our girl's basketball team was going ton county finals, aka CIF, so they of course made a video doing "the CIF Shuffle."

I feel so old.

There are certain tracks that are universal. "The Superbowl Shuffle" is not among them. Still, for a certain slender segment of the world's population, it's a comforting sound, no matter what hemisphere you're in. Glad the CD arrived intact, on time, and on point.
