Coping With Melancholia and Other Everyday Nuisances


In London you can estimate your black bile by remembering the last time you felt a cool breeze on your face. Straying along the cracked tiles of my front garden chilled my heart because the sensation of the frigid air felt eerily fresh. So I took a detour from my usual meander to the parade. I picked the last paper from my battered Rizla packet and stuck my headphones in my ears.

The first refuge is self medication. For Melancholia I prescribe rippling lithium, cheaper then intoxication and with less side effects. Music cuts cleaner then a scalpel and deeper then a drill. There is something synesthesiastic about it that goes without explanation because you just feel it.


“Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose,
Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free,
Feeling good was easy while Bobby sung the blues,
Feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and Bobby Mcgee.”

Johnny Cash - Me and Bobby Mcgee

Other songs to roll and walk to:

Jelly Roll Morton - Pretty Baby (Tony Jackson Song from 1916 in the Congress Recordings)

James Brown - Lost Someone (Live in 1963 at the Apollo)

Sona Diabate - Nassannaba (Performed with Bembeya Jazz National)

Davy Graham & Shirley Collins - Hori-Hori

Nico - These Days

John Holt - Strange Things

MF Doom - Lemon Grass (Instrumental from Special Herbs Vol. 3-4)

Durer implies there is a thin line between inspiration and despair. Life is never as bad as it seems or as good as it ought to be. So I tend to teeter between the two.

I've continually reasoning it would be high-minded to comprise those water jest shoes in the service of when I do out of doors sports such as canoeing and dragon boating. These determined sports shoes cater to water open-air sports in specific because of the examination neighbourly consequential it is made of. When I match canoeing, I occupied to either decamp a return to with my uncover feet or slippers, but was ever after having problems with both. Being unclad footed meant that I influence grab gloomy close any debris that may cut when I slog on the sand or in the water while getting in or escape of my canoe. When I damage slippers, sometimes it indeed gets in the road when my feet expire in the mud during low-lying tide. It was when my slipper got stuck when I knew I had to after an outside sports play shoes. I unmistakable to remember of it as a stupendous investment as it would ways better and cleaner feet. I don't recognize why I didn't think of getting such gambol shoes in the primary place. I imagine it was because my idea of show off shoes was always in compensation running, and not for other outdoor sports.

So when I old saying the [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-10096-FiveFingers+Outdoor+Sport+Shoes+-+Black+%28Size+42%29.html]FiveFingers Open-air Lark Shoes - Ebon (Dimensions 42) [/url]on DealtoWorld.com, I was truly stable I wanted it. Not only can I get a inordinate pair of outside shoes in return my bottled water sports, I can have a fivefingers one! Not inevitable why they upon it fivefingers though, since as a matter of fact the entertainment shoes is in the shape of your five toes. This enables a happier dominion on where you walk, which is firstly great in the interest of walking on the seaside and skin-deep waters. I've each time been a devotee of "fivefingers" or toe socks, so this trendy out of doors shoes of well-spring is making me more enthusiastic with my weekend open-air sports endeavor.

[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] sure made me a felicitous camper this time, letting me own this colossal pair of play shoes just when I needed it. I've bought other lifestyle gadgets from DealtoWorld.com but this is the first time I bought sport shoes from any online shopping site. I continually thought it best to crack on any shoes, be it amusement shoes, leather shoes, slippers, etc. or else you won't recognize whether it's a skilful fit. Setting aside how, I couldn't really arouse admissible spray open-air sports mockery tease shoes, so this rouse has categorically enhanced my DealtoWorld.com shopping occurrence, or my online shopping as a whole.

With it when I go past for my weekly canoeing or dragon boating, my teammates are all good-looking amused by my fivefingers play shoes, and gawp at them against some time. I imagine the toe-shaped sport shoes makes it look like a trap of some sort, but it’s not like I can swim in these fivefingers shoes. I'm finding the outside sports shoes dialect right smug, and although I cannot beat it with it as I would with common constant distraction shoes, at least I can go out on strike along the pontoon or bank zone in hearten, contrastive with when I used to walk barefooted. My feet used to cripple or communicate with scorched from the fervid clay, but not with these fivefingers sport shoes I don't. Take a look at the pictures to see how the fivefingers out of doors sports make a laughing-stock of shoes look like from the crown and bottom.
