i put on some new shoes and suddenly everything's right

i'm just wondering if this ever happens to anyone else. sometimes, when i'm in a really bad mood, i'll be walking somewhere and see something that immediately puts me into a good mood. just like a lightswitch, right from bad to good.

for example, one time during university i was walking around campus around supper time. nobody was around and i was in a particularily foul mood. then, out of nowhere a dude on a unicycle goes riding by. immediately: bad to good.

then today i was walking home from work after a day that all in all wasn't bad, but had some retarded things happen towards the end. i don't like thinking on the best of days, but i especially don't like thinking after 2pm on fridays. (but i digress)

as i'm on my path home i turned on some scissor sisters to help elevate my mood. then, during the first few bars of 'take your mama out' a man walks around the corner. but not any man. he looked familiar. i think i may have killed his father.

and? now i'm in the best mood. because it's friday, i'm going to the arrogant worms tonight, a used book sale tomorrow, a movie tomorrow night, and doing nothing all day sunday. what's better than that?

and, as of this post i am going to start to write at the bottom of each post the lyric from which the title comes from. on account of i'm sure sometimes the titles make me sound crazy. also on account of people should likely know about these songs.
