I've got a wee problem. Lately, I seem to have songs totally stuck in my head. This morning's little ditty - Moondance by Van Morrison.
"Well, its a marvelous night for a moondance, With the stars up above in your eyes. A fantabulous night to make romance 'neath the cover of october skies. And all the leaves on the trees are falling to the sound of the breezes that blow. And Im trying to please to the calling of your heart-strings that play soft and low...."
Yesterday and most of last week it was God is a DJ by Faithless...
"This is my church.. This is where i heal my hurts. It's a natural grace of watching young life shape. It's in minor keys solutions and remedies. Enemies becoming friends when bitterness ends. This is my church... This is my church. For tonight - God is a DJ."
I can't tell you how much I love that Faithless song. Not that I go clubbing often to 'heal my hurts' but if you've ever been in a total groove on a dance floor and in the proverbial bubble - well, those lyrics just make sense. 
I should also note that I'm not advocating clubbing as a religion.
Ah - the bubble. Those of you who know me (here comes one of the geekiests terms) "in real life" and have ever been around me in a going out/social situation should know all about me and my bubble. There's something about getting ready and going out to a club, having a few drinks to loosen up (of course, I'm speaking muscularly, not loose in a sexual nature - who me? Absolutely never, I'm someone's mother!) and just being in the bubble. Bubble being defined as being 100% happy with how things are going, music playing, how you look, how others look... everything.
Man, I love the feeling of being in the bubble. It's better than any drug (not that I've tried many, mind you - Okay hold it a second! This sucks having to pretend that I've never had fun before in my life. My mother knows already, so I'm going to drop the pretense, okay?).
The bubble is magical - as some of you, hopefully, can relate.
Actually - reflecting back on my post earlier in the week about Flow. Yes, a PS3 game (which, by the way, was released yesterday and is amazing), but based on the concept of Flow proposed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Flow is is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing, characterized by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity. Dude, I think one man's flow is another man's bubble.
Of course, there are times when you go out and you're totally not in the bubble. Nothing's right, the music isn't great, your feet hurt, you're not in the mood to be chatty.. The anti-bubble.
I believe that Bubble-dom probably extends far from clubland (oh, I've always wanted to use that in a paragraph) and relates to our everyday lives. Some days, I'm definitely in the 'life bubble' (if you will) and then there are days, like this past Wednesday where I was about as far from the bubble as possible.
I suppose, the concept of Bubble is about being happy and comfortable in your own skin and being open to new experiences. So there - a bit of Lizosophy for your Friday morning!Labels: bubble, Geeky
