A Classic Dreamer

Right now, It is about 3:44 AM and I'm just sitting here in front of the computer listening to old classical music while surfing on Facebook. I'm feeling very relaxed right now, unlike my earlier rant, which is just mixed with true emotion and power. I'm listening to some artists, similar to Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Tony Bennett, who aren't just musical legends, but Gods. There is something appealing about the classical music from the old days, it was made during simpler times. A time when drinking was sophisticated, people who were obese were those who were filthy rich, and opportunity was around every corner. Sure, it wasn't the best of times, Europe was still in ruins and a Cold War was brewing, but there was a strong spirit among us Americans.

Such times are gone and now we enter a more complex period standing on a layer of an unstable economy solidified with worldwide conflict. People are more tense, grumpy, and paranoid then ever. I don't blame them, we live in a world where people's privacy and rights are deteriorating. People are more selfish then ever and there aren't many willing to stand up for others, it's as if it every man, woman, and child fight for themselves. After two world wars, bloody conflicts still exist, people are murdered every day, rape seems to be a such a common practice that there is no outrage in the community, and violence and crime are only increasing and getting more intense.

Ah, the beautiful sounds when music sounded good. The amazing thing about the classical genre is that they have the power to wash away all the troubles that one has, well, that's how I'm feel about it. For some reason, right now I'm feeling the urge to sit in a low lit room in an old green leather recliner. Next to where I would sit would be a small wooden table and on it I would have a couple of cigars and an open bottle of Scotch.. As I sit in my recliner, in my suit, not fully buttoned and my tie all loose, I would have a glass of Scotch in my right hand. I would sip it, and I wouldn't have a care in the world. When I would be at my last glass, I would raise it up in the air, and give a cheers to to the fantastic life that we all live in, and happy days to come. Then I would finish my last glass, only to look at my empty glass and to see our future.
