friends, deep belly laughs and SPAM

i've been in a bit of a crappy mood lately. yes, i've masked it well with my lovely wit and my "let me please" you disposition. but for the most part, my mood has not been that "pleasing" on the inside. but tonight...well, tonight was a great evening. i was able to have a dinner date with the one and only Taylor Riley. and if you know her, then you know what a privilege it is to be in the presence of greatness. and if you don't know her, well, then sadly it's your loss.

after i came home, i walked into my quaint, yet seriously needs to be spring cleaned humble abode, to see my friend Jayme sitting at my roommates keyboard plucking away and writing funny little songs while she waited for Kate to get off the computer with one of her many friends from afar. and of course, i had to join in on jayme's fun. sometimes, i daresay, that i get really carried away because jayme normally breaks down and laughs so hard that she can't play and tears are rolling down her face. i can't tell if it's because my my lyrics are nutty, my vocals are horrid or if in fact, it's because i feel the need to do interpretive dance? or maybe, i'm just dazzling her with my creative and impromptu technique??? i don't know. i just don't know.

finally, kate decided to get off the computer and join our lyrical genius. somewhere along the way we started singing about tuna...in a very country, yet jazzy melody. which somewhere along the way led to singing about SPAM. as in the food product---not the countless advertisements you receive in your emails and social networking sites. and if you haven't been to the SPAM website, then you must go. and definitely check out the "what is spam" section. and the SPAM god will let you know all about it. for instance, did you know, in the United States alone, 90 million cans of spam are sold each year. who knew? i won't lie...SPAM kinda freaks me out. but, the website gave us much joy and lots of creative ideas for improvising songs to sing. i laughed so hard that i cried. and i really needed that moment. i needed to laugh so hard that my belly ached. and as usual, jayme and kate, with their witty song stylings and infectious laughter, pulled me out of my crappy mood for that evening. and for once, i fell asleep light hearted and not bogged down by the thoughts that have been plaguing me lately.

basically, what i'm saying is that you can't go wrong with friends, deep belly laughs and SPAM!!
