Let’s see what else you don’t know :) U noticed once that I connect some songs to something… where I heard them, with whom I was, I was blue/happy, stuff like this. Well, let’s take this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHdLBMjOM5w

I’ve been listening to it since January, when I was at home, filling my time with some Dj courses, aerobics, massage, manicure, restaurants, parties. Partying in January can be overwhelming. Everybody is trying to get back on their feet, there are some who keep going like it’s December all over again. It was the first time after ten years when I had the courage to put myself into the position of trading excel for music. In January, music, the thing that’s keeping me alive, won.

In February, excel won. Yes, mainly, it was for the money. I live because I’m good at math and I keep an eye open to what’s going on around me. That’s how I earn my living and that’s my intellectual challenge. I got back to excel on February because I noticed I sucked at being a Dj and because my pocket was screaming for some excel-challenging-money-producing activity. And I remembered why I didn’t become a dj in the first place: cause Djs are all so sort of high and so sort of poor when it comes to thinking. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not being judgmental here; I’m just noticing that they talk mostly about chicks, politics, pills and beats.

It’s been a year. It doesn’t matter if right now I’m happier or not. What matters is that I’m older. One year older than this song, 15 years older than the first time it happened and still, the only thing I appreciate are hands dancing in the air, a crowd of smiling dancers and a beat that is gonna make u remember when you first heard it forever. Look, this song, I can remember the blouse I was wearing, the hour, the guy I was kissing, the club I was dancing into. Is it good or bad to know that much about a song? www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZJIKdCOh3o
