Song of the Moment XXX: Foo Fighters’ “Normal”

As I’m typing this, it’s 11pm and I’m having a short break from photocopying service reports. I know… that sounds boring. But at least it pays the bills. My Mother slash boss told me I could continue photocopying tomorrow, but I wanted to finish the task tonight.

Anyway, I opened my Spotify, checked my liked songs, pressed the shuffle button, and then the play button. What’s the 1st song I hear? A Foo Fighters deep cut, “Normal”. The ballad can be found in one of the Foos’ Foo Files EPs, “00020225”, and its lyrics – especially the chorus – are some of the most profound lines about longing for someone and turning things around.

Will you come out tonight?
Will you back down, will you put up a fight?
Turn me around and make everything right
Make me normal from now on

Foo Fighters’ “Normal”

Speaking of longing, now I’m reminded of someone. (I’m not going to mention who.) I changed my mind about listening on shuffle; now I just want to listen to “Normal” on repeat tonight.

Foo Fighters’ “Normal”, from the Foo Files EP “00020225”.

That is all.

10-Minute Warning X

So, what can I type on this post in under 10 minutes?

Well, today I didn’t do much at work. I only photocopied a few papers for less than 5 minutes, and that’s it. The minimal task for today kind of makes it up for all the workload that I had last week. I’m expecting a bit more work in the coming days especially since it’s almost the end of March, but today I’m enjoying the slacking off. I didn’t get to nap this afternoon, but having the chance to do so makes me so happy.

Speaking of napping, since I started working for the family business, I feel like I lack sleep during work days, Monday to Friday. Perhaps I got used to sleeping more than 9 hours during my unemployment period. But one trick that removes my sleepiness in the morning is taking a cold bath and drinking any caffeinated drink. Lately, I usually drink a Nescafé 3-in-1 or Creamy White in the morning. Thank goodness for coffee.

Tonight I will walk and jog with Younger Brother at Three Trees. I asked Mother if she could join us, but she said she feels lazy. That’s all right. I can’t force her. And as long as I can walk, jog and do aerobics at least 3 times per week with or without company, I’m good. However, I hope Mother can join us next time in exercising. It’s for her health. And she doesn’t have to do a full workout; walking around a jogging path is good already.

And time’s up.
