On a rainy night such as this...

Right now I'm sitting here after a long day working onsite at the UCI. I've got my loft windows open, listening to the rain as it gently rolls off the tilted panes of glass.

In the far corner of the kitchen you can smell the earl grey tea that I've just brewed. There are a few candles lit and there is a single lamp turned down low. Throughout the air inside this loft the gentle waves of Far Behind by Candlebox can be heard in the background as I just relax and let the tension of the day roll off...

I can't help but feel the therapy creep into my senses. I wanted to just wash this day off. I wanted to hit something. I was tense. I was irritated. I was ready to brawl. But now, now I feel a little lighter. I feel weightless as I type. I feel calm. The cars that pass by in the distance sound like waves against the beach.

I find a great joy when an evening, even a moment, is soundtracked like this is moment is right now.
