Enchanted Melancholy
December 8, 2006 by Toby Getsch
I’m sort of in a zone, at least this morning I feel that way. It’s like an enchanted melancholy (not a depressive melancholy, but more of an introspective, hmmm sort of melancholy). I don’t know if that can exist, or if I’m describing a paradigm shift that’s juxtaposed next to my own contradicting, emotional, metaphysical state… ‘n shit. 
It’s Friday! This is my Casual Friday post. I think I missed one or both of the past Friday’s. My bad. I could apologize more, but I can’t match this for an apology and customer service. At least it will not have the same impact until I’m leading a larger team or organization. That’ll happen, eventually.
I’m listening to a CD from Jamie Cullum right now. It’s some good jazz, swing, and kind of an assistant to the coffee this morning I guess. It’s nice and gets me to want to snap. Too bad I’m typing. Doh!
Just spilled some coffee. I spilled it right onto my digital camera.
Oops. Oh well. Good thing I got a waterproof and shockproof camera!
More importantly, it’s a good thing that I’m using a coffee cup with a lid and I didn’t spill very much. Mmm… coffee in the AM is FAN-tastic!
So… Today I’ll be spending some time observing and listening. This morning it’ll be blogging and seeing some pictures and feeling some emotions from them. I just changed my desktop background yesterday. Boo! Something different.
I think I also want to go see the new movie, Blood Diamond. It looks very moving. I like that style of movie. The trailers from Apple are listed here. If your computer system can handle an HD version, it looks great. I also like that this movie is drawing attention to some of the global conflict with the diamond trade. Like Moby mentioned a couple days ago, the wealth of the world is not spread out. And, I think that negatively affects many people. I don’t have answers there, but I do have emotions and feelings on that topic. Hmmm… I think that movie will be a good fit for today. And, hopefully, I’m doing my part to contribute. Some of that is easier to judge in the years and decades after, not in the right now. But, we do live in the right now. And, we can impact those around us, right now.
How are you impacted today? How are you impacting others today? You don’t have to make an impact, and you’re not bad if you don’t. But, as I started this post, I’m a bit bent towards the emotional thinking today. What’s next?
