What is YOUR Theme Song?

My good friend asked me what's theme song.  I hadn't thought about it for quite a while and I told her the concept of theme song reminded me of Ally McBeal.  (no Ooga-chacka babies here). 
To answer her question my currently them song is "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars.

This song inspires me to take a moment for myself and relax. 

I like the idea of theme songs and often times have a soundtrack running through my head.  For the past week it has been Toby Keith's "I wanna talk about me" and "Just the way you are" by Bruno Mars.  Back when I started law school I had "Dear Prudence" - Beatles and Across the Universe Soundtrack versions running in my head.  The Prudence (juris if you mind the pun) kept my grades up, perhaps I should start listening to it again.

Theme songs should inspire us and keep us moving forward on our journey.  Like Rocky's theme did for him.  In my studies I learned about Salsa (music not food).  It's origins came from the Cuban Son as part of the practice of Santeria.  According to what I read the spirits would take over the body and force the person to move.  When you think about this Theme songs possess our bodies and vitalize us with positive energy.  It's music wonderful?  To quote Dan Koffman "not all art hangs on walls."

The silence is deafening

My family left for Brazil last week for three weeks of cooler weather (it's winter down there).  I have kept busy though, with school during the week, mediation classes last weekend and Drill this weekend.
Having the family gone means the house is REALLY quiet.  Usually the house has my wife watching something, my son watching/playing something, and me finding some place quiet to relax after work.
Now, I have all the silence I can handle and its deafening.  My dogs are no good for conversation.  They hang out at home all day and don't watch much TV or read anything.  The other day we discussed why Jake enjoyed sleeping under the bed and why Stewie likes to sleep on it.  It turns out, Jake likes having the darkness so he can get those extra few minutes before the day starts and Stew likes the comfort.
To-MAY-toes, To-MAH-Toes.
With my family gone it's not much different for me.  I'm still working and schooling like I used to, except now I get to pick what to watch on TV or play as many games of Starcraft 2 that I want.  The solitude is overbearing at times though.

I took a lazy day yesterday, I woke up and, to quote Bruno Mars:  "Today I don't feel like doing anything..." It was what I needed.  I relaxed played Portal 2 attended a meeting for the betterment of school, then had lunch/drinks w my friend Martin.
Besides the drive to and from Fort Worth (hour+ in 100 degree heat, return trip), the day was relaxing.

When I got home I return my couch and power up the PS3, flipped between portal 2 and the mavs, (don't really watch until the 5 min left of the 4th quarter.  Why do they HAVE make it so close?  Incredible game, congrats Mavs, now do it two more times.
