Higher Ground

I recently decided that I much prefer the Red Hot Chili Peppers rendition of "Higher Ground" to the original version performed by Mr. Stevey Wonder. Something about the bass and drums really does it for me. Stevey's version is very very good but I am gonna have to stick with The Chili Peppers. The lyrics of the song are so uplifting but I don't have them memorized like I do with most songs I like, with this one I prefer to just hum along with the melody and imitate the vowel sounds. As I mentioned previously in a post called "Music Addiction" there is a cycle of musical addiction that I experience after discovering or rediscovering a good song. The song seems to have taken over the last two days so far. I am playing on YouTube repeatedly and jamming out excessively. "Higher Ground" is used a lot in movies as a inspirational soundtrack device. In "The Pursuit of Happyness" starring Will Smith the Stevey Wonder version is used and works well. The Red Hot Chili Pepper's version of "Higher Ground" is used to great effect in the responsibility montage in the Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds vehicle "The Change Up." I have decided that if you put this song on and just sit at a computer typing, it makes you look really productive. It sure as hell feels productive to me. In closing I am gearing up to work at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show where I will likely be standing for most of the day listening to this song all day in full mental clarity.

Working Title

Looking around online for acting work for most of the afternoon today. One of my many afternoons spent on a "Starbucks web session." I get such a kick out of calling it that. Looking for jobs is tedious and requires constant hydration and supervision. Many people fall victim to the dreaded online news sites that are just full of bullshit. I suppose you have to get your news somewhere but not me. I'm busy looking for acting gigs. Which is tough when there are so many babes at Starbucks. (How is a young man supposed to concentrate on a Starbucks web session when there are hot babes crawling all over the place. The entire Starbucks is being overtaken by the hottest girls on the planet. Oh please no don't get naked...not all of you. They are all getting naked and rubbing hot liquids all over each other. Oh Jeez the sounds of wet flesh slapping together the smells of passion in the air. It's too much. My web session is a very difficult and arduous one today. As it stands I have no idea how to do anything except for stare at all of the sexy smoking hot babes getting down and dirty here at Starbucks. What  a day. In other news I have recently started living in a military style barracks with several other men of varying age and ethnic background. We are an elite unit. We have been training for the winter games for weeks now and our preparation is nearly complete. We will have our vengeance and those who have crossed us will know the taste of our freshly cleaned boots. We woke up pretty early today and enjoyed a nice breakfast together. The braved the barren cold of the local park for some pt and eventually we found our way to this Starbucks for a nice web session which was ruined by the many many many drop dead gorgeous babes now getting full on hard core super porn style motherfuckers to the max. I think I have a coffee buzz. Oh shit. I have to go to work. Let me know if you have any acting work for me. Please.
