Seymour's Daily Theme Song
Return To Blog Listing
I listen to music almost constantly and started a blog that's based on music, my life, my mood, and selecting a theme song of the day every day based on how I feel or how I would like to feel

Again?
I woke up this morning about 5AM after having kind of a odd dream. I'm not sure if I just happened to remember some of the dream because I woke up immediately afterward, or if the dream was just so weird that the absurdity of it caused me to wake up....
Woke up this morning...
...heard myself a song.Literally. I woke up this morning around 6AM, and as I was laying there, still tired, and trying to think of a reason why I should actually get out of bed today, this song just popped in my head and has been playing ever since....
The wheels on the bus are coming off...
After this past week's hiatus, I decided that I should change the title of the blog from the "Daily Theme Song" to the "Theme Song of the Day". I made it the better part of six months with only a handful of missed days here and there, but last week t...
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I looked out the window this morning as I was taking a shower and thought that it looked awfully white outside, and was hoping that it was just some frost or fog on the window. Wrong. We got our first measureable snow of the season today, with more t...
Now THAT\'S what I\'m talking about...
Wow.Until about twenty minutes ago, I had a lot of ideas of what I wanted to write about today. And ninety minutes of television just keelhauled that. Rather than go deep and meaningful and then pull some song out of the sky, I am going with simple a...
Out of hibernation
Well, yet again the bosses are in another closed door meeting, and here we sit awaiting the next round of bad news. The difference this week as opposed to last week is that I just don't give a shit anymore. I'd imagine that this will end up being one...
Origins...
I didn't really intend to write a post like this today, but somehow it just happened. Follow along, and enjoy...In addition to news articles, one of the items that I added to the news feed at the top of my Gmail inbox is a link to a daily wikiHow art...
Back on track?
Or, maybe not...The blog definitely is. The rest of life, however, is still somewhat tentative. Quite a bit of the time I definitely feel as though I am that guy with the blindfold on being prodded along with a sword in my back toward some sort of im...
Scatterbrained
I don't know what it is exactly, but I really just don't feel like writing much. I've had a wild couple of weeks and don't have a lot of energy, and falling out of the loop for a few days really did a number on me. It's kind of like stopping a workou...
It\'s here...
I'm neither in the mood nor do I have a lot of time to write today, so the weekend recap that I alluded to is not going to happen today. Maybe tomorrow...However, today is a banner day for me - Slayer's new album World Painted Blood has been released...
AMPED
According to the clock on my computer, I have roughly 55 minutes to complete this post before my "deadline". Not that it should be a problem to do, but this is probably the closest I've ever come to missing a day. I could half-ass this and just drop ...
charge the paddles...
...because I need a JOLT today.I've actually done a pittance of work today, which is about 3/4 of a pittance more than I did yesterday, but this not being busy shit is really putting me to sleep. It certainly doesn't help that it's another rainy, dre...
Good weekend
This is one of those weekends where I can just look back on it, smile, and feel a real sense of accomplishment. Granted, a lot of my elation has more to do with things that were not in my control - sporting events - but I worked a little magic of my ...
Pumped
I'm just running through the motions today. It's Friday, I've actually had a fairly busy week, and I am ready for the weekend. Right now, I am looking forward to 5:00 or 5:30 tonight when I head out the door - so I can get home, make something to eat...
Spent
First off, I have to say that I'm surprised that doing a google image search using the term "empty wallet" still manages to bring up T&A images on the first page. Actually, now that I think about it a little bit, I'm not surprised at all...I am f...
And, content...
...for today, anyway.I've actually been running around like a mad-man all morning, which has so far made today the complete opposite of yesterday. I'm not bored, and I'm kind of happy. Well, maybe not happy so much as just content - at least for the ...
Oh yeah
OK, before I get started today I just have to say that putting on a pair of jeans that is fresh out of the dryer is nothing short of magnificent.Anyway...So I'm having one of those mornings where I really just don't feel like doing anything. This bec...
Still rollin'
I got a shit-ton of things done today. It's as though I wiped out two months worth of sloth in just a few hours. (Note to self: Sloth can easily be overcome by a daily or semi-weekly pittance of time spent working.) Anyway, it was a good day - and to...
Energy, or lack thereof
Now that was some weekend.Every year for the past nine years my friends and I have done a weekend road trip to a Penn State away game. It started out with just four of us back in 2001 and has blossomed into an annual spectacle that we refer to as "Th...
A place for everything...
...and everything in its place.I live a rather compartmentalized life. Actually, "rather" is probably not the right word - extremely is probably more fitting. There is a place/time for coworkers, for friends (and at times even separate groups of frie...
F**K
I once read a quote that said something to the effect of "Sports are Man's ultimate joke on God. In the grand scheme of things, they're really meaningless - yet people treat them as though they're more important than life itself".Penn State's chances...
Rock and/or roll
I've had a couple different songs playing over and over in my head this morning, as I've been lazing about, watching College Gameday, and getting myself in the mood to head out later to watch the Penn State-Iowa game tonight. Not that I should really...
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
Utter fucking insanity today.I had to stop by a job site to take some measurements for the second work phase as well as do an inspection of some of the existing work that had to be re-done. I was out there for a few hours, then rushed to get back in ...
Oh-wee-ohh
It's already been a long day. I had to take the train all the way up to Evanston and back this morning to go to a project site, which turned out to be almost a four hour process from the time I left my house until I got into the office. It may be one...
Not overthinking this one
It's an absolutely lovely day in Chicago today - high around 70, low to possibly drop into the 40's. Which, as I've mentioned before, is great weather - but it's just about a month or two too early. I can only imagine that as cool as it's been all su...
Jumped the gun...
I don't even really want to begin to describe just what transpired on the streets of Chicago last night. Let's just say that it was one of those nights where everything was entirely unplanned, and had you told me at 7:00 last night what was in store ...
The paradox...
I remember seeing M.C. Escher works when I was a kid and getting completely lost in them. It was the perfect sort of art for my brain, which was constantly trying to figure out how things worked. At first, it looked to me like something that one woul...
Where's My Motivation?
I had another one of those "why am I bothering to even get up" mornings today. My bed was just too comfortable - or maybe I just didn't give a shit. Whatever it was, all morning I just kept thinking that I really need some motivation - a blazing fire...
Fire it up
The best thing about coming back to work halfway through the week is - well, you guessed it - there's only half a week of work left to do.I spent most of the day yesterday getting geared back up and ready to go. And, after reviewing a set of drawings...
In desperate need...
...of a lightning bolt.Well, my trip back to PA has come all but to a close. Right now I findmyself sitting at the gate in the Harrisburg Airport, waiting for myconnection to Philly and from there, back to Chicago. And, just likeevery trip I've ...
