There I was, lying on my good old mattress, with a mask on my face, me staring onto the ceiling and nothing else. You know what would be cool? Having a projector that beams my novels onto the ceiling when I do my mask. Pages after pages. And pages flip when i mutter "next". Oh boy! Yeah right. To be honest, I think I always have a lot of great ideas. Damn, should I start patenting them?
Anyway, as you know (from my previous post that was written an hour ago) I was listening to Symphony 92.4 .... oh well, what a great channel.
I meant to be sarcarstic.
Story is, I was just enjoying the relaxing mask (with my head still throbbing of course), then all of a sudden, good old "My Funny Valentine" was on air. An instrumental version, with the damn violin playing the oh so heart-wrenching melody line. I don't think I ever told anyone this before, but somebody once sang this song to me when I was very sick on the bed. He didn't have the voice of Michy Bubbles, but I can still recall clearly, it was beautiful. Must be one of the best moments in my life, I guess.
You know its a 'best moment' when you remember the exact setting, when you recall the same feeling and when you can still hear the same voice and words. And I guess you know its one of the 'best moments' when though unwillingly, tears still fall from your eyes, knowing it might ruin your mask.
You know its a best moment when you know its never going to leave you, and you'll have to cope with remembering it for the rest of your life.
