Sunworshipper

Serendipity. We have all heard this word. Maybe we have seen the retardly bad movie starring John Cusack of the same title. I did. Ever since, I have made a mental note when people use this word and connected it to its god-awful contribution to cinematic history.

I get the same feeling when people confuse coincidence with irony (happens more often than not), but I digress. My trusty Oxford dictionary defines serendipity as - faculty of making happy discoveries by accident. How can you not love that? It is building on this premise that I bring you today's post.

I found "Ministry of Sound Volume 7" via Newsgroups - a gift that keeps on giving. On said disc is a song called "Sunworshipper" by Mylo. It is a smoothed out affair with a sample of a fella talking about how he was sick of his previous pursuits, so he decides to take off on his bicycle. I guess somebody else thought this was cool because they made a sticker and put on the bike rack outside the Wicker Park post office. And it made my day.

Second photo is a toilet at the Pontiac from NYE - lovely huh? Perhaps because I was taking a break from arm wrestling...really. How did you spend your NYE? Anyway, since we are matching songs, I tried to think of one that matched this simple, yet powerful statement. How about some Donovan "Sun"? My favorite troubadour of the '60's was an existentialist to the nth, so it applies. So, slow down y'all and be sure to smell them there roses. You are alive.
