Going down

And, sadly, not like that.

But Freddie Stroma is moving further down my page as I post yet another blog. But oh well, all is fair in love and war, not that I kn0w how that’s relevant to this post.. shall I get on with it?

Yesterday, I performed some Derren Brown magic on myself.

I was woken up to “I gotta feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas. Their opening verse is as follows:

I gotta feeling,
that tonight’s gunna be a good night,
that tonight’s gunna be a good night,
that tonight’s gunna be a good good night,

And I managed to perform Derren Brown mind-trickery on myself so that once I heard that same song being played out in the club last night, I would be in the mood for a good night.

And, low and behold, there I was, 3 pints down, feeling way too sober to be in a gay club, only foot tapping along to the music, avoiding eye contact, and generally being shy and withdrawn.

‘I gotta feeling’ started playing and something in my mind clicked. It is without a doubt in my top 3 favourite songs right now, and I couldn’t stop myself from dancing to it.

What made it even better was that Holly and Paul didn’t really know the song, so they became the self-aware ones, watching me and everyone else getting down to the beat.

And from then on, we had an amazing time! Good times!
