Yesterday, on January 8th, I was smelling pretty ripe. There was no question that I wanted to take a shower, but I really, truly, in my bones did not want to get under that freezing stream. It was not the time to break a vow, however, so I did what I had to do and I am happy that I did.
Raining Blood is badass, but I felt the need to mix it up. It occurred to me that a cold shower playlist might be in order. So I went with an old favorite by a band called The Flaming Tsunamis called The Great Red Cross Robbery. The Flaming Tsunamis were a Connecticut ska band from the turn of the millennium that went hardcore. Their eclectic mix incorporates hardcore, metal, punk, ska, reggae, funk, you name it. This particular song made for a fun shower soundtrack because it includes surf, ska, and hardcore, so every 30 seconds I was jumping or swaying in a fresh way. The Great Red Cross Robbery is about being a zombie and stealing blood from the Red Cross to meet your nutritional needs. Fun and geeky.
This time the goal was four minutes and I stuck around for five. After the shower, I felt rejuvenated and refreshed. Onward and upward.
