Edit: Okay, I seem to have been right: quote:Thus, the microbe still turned out to be far too large. It also seems to work with a capillary tube (fountain effect), but a capillary tube is *still* far smaller than anything you'd fit into. Even as a salmon.

Motivated. There's nothing I enjoy more than acomplishing the tasks before me. Motivation inevidably leads to contentedness when all the work is done. I have been quite grumpy of late for not have the knowledge required for my present tasks, but motivation leads me to learn and as long as I'm learning I know I'm on the right path to contentedness. The thought of which contains it's own level of comfort. My own 'Cheer up' list includes mostly religious songs. A few years back I had bought a tape created just for the purpose of lifting one's depression. I still have it but the name excapes me for the minute. On the secular side I find the soundtrack to Hook most invigorating. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

In terms of inspirational music, ADoS, I suppose I could recommend a few tunes, although you've probably heard me mention some of these before. In alphabetical order by artist/band: "Hold Your Head Up"- Argent "Golden Slumbers," "Carry That Weight," and "The End"- The Beatles (part of the long medley at the end of the Abbey Road album) "Feelin' Stronger Every Day"- Chicago "Marrakesh Express"- Crosby, Stills and Nash "Carry On"- Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young "Hold On"- John Lennon "Carry On My Wayward Son"- Kansas "Shangri-La"- The Kinks "Coming Up"- Paul McCartney "Bridge Over Troubled Water"- Simon & Garfunkel (I know you don't like 'em, but someone else might) "Coloured Rain"- Traffic "This Will Be Our Year"- The Zombies. That's the short list. I suppose I could get a few more if I dredged through everything with a fine-toothed comb.

quote:"Boy, you're gonna carry that weight, carry that weight a long time" I fail to see how this could possibly cheer up a depressed person, even if it is an interesting medley. I'll listen to the others though. Thanks.

Ah, you're right, that line is unfortunate. I suppose only "Golden Slumbers" out of that medley actually has inspirational lyrics. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger.

Allstar is a good Cheer-up song, as is Hang On by the same band––that is, if you can stomach anything made by a sell-out alternative group. The lyrics are very cheery, regardless of the band's tendency to recycle the music. -------------------- Wu wei... it's the only way Posts: 154 | Registered: Monday, June 20 2005 07:00 |

Considering that a mood is as often as not a mental state as well as an emotional one, I'd have to say my favorite mood is "amused," followed in a close second by "interested." I prefer mild amusement to riotous laugh-out-loud tickled pink. It lasts longer and isn't as strenuous to my delicate constitution. And as far as "interested"—I like it when something catches and holds my interest, gets my brainwheels spinning in a pleasant fashion. Again, safer and milder than "fascination." And, as long as I'm at it, here's my list (in no particular order) of pick-me-up music when I'm down or stressed— 1. Enya. Anything by Enya. Let it wash over you and relax you. And no, I'm not into crystal pyramids and herbal teas—I don't care if it's supposed to be New Agey, I just like the music. It sounds nice and does nice things to my brainwaves. 2. Domenico Scarlatti. A forgotten giant of the baroque period, wrote 555 short sonatas for the harpsichord. Always great to listen to, the fast pieces are perfect for elevating one's downcast moods. But one must listen to his works played on a harpsichord, not a bloody double-danged sissy piano. If you play Scarlatti on the piano, you might as well play Wagner on the kazoo. [Note to self: Next time you want to relax and become cheerful by listening to Scarlatti, don't think about pianos!] 3. Celtic harp music, preferably as played by Laurie Riley. Lovely melodies, delicious sounds. 4. Beatles. Of course. Great fun. Gotta love Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, and the White Album. 5. The Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. When you're really mad at someone and want to crystalize those unpleasant thoughts into scenes of vivid sword-slinging violence. Very soothing. [Note to self: Better watch that temper!] 6. Terry Riley (no relation to Laurie Riley). Especially In C. That is a fantastic piece of music, people, and will absorb you in its complex world of weaving instruments, making you forget all your troubles as you explore this new wonderland. :) -------------------- The A.E. van Vogt Information Site My Tribute to the Greatest Writer of the Science Fiction Golden Age Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

I first heard the song All-Star when I went to Fenway Park in 1999 to watch the Homerun Derby. It was an unforgetable experience, and since then that song always gets me going. And, that's all I've got, except that water flows downhill and as young salmon make their way to the ocean they swim backwards, noses into the current. *this message contains a prize, just like cracker jacks* Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

My favorites are: motivated, happy, content, and neutral. in motivated, I am inspired to finish any current project im working on in happy and content, obviously I am happy and content and in neutral, its easier for me to concentrate on things. My favorite methods of cheering up are: Listening to my music as loud as possible, blowing stuff up with high caliber rifles, and watching violent cartoons (Tom & Jerry and Acme Hour come to mind) -------------------- "We can learn a lot from crayons. Some are short, some are dull, some are sharp, some are tall. Some have funny names and they are all different colors, but they all learn to live in the same box."

For having wisdom as gain is better than having silver as gain and having wisdom as produce is better than gold itself" Proverbs 3:14-3:15 The horrible part about life is, you'll never get out of it alive.

I'm not proud to say it, but my favourite mood is probably vindictive. If I feel I can justify my behaviour to myself, then I really like the feeling of incredibly focused sneering I'm prone to indulging in. -------------------- Voice of Reasonable Morality Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |

Pride, although I have forgotten how it feels. Motivation and perfectionism, albeit ever guided by utter sense of inferiority. [ Monday, July 04, 2005 06:21: Message edited by: Obnoxious ] Posts: 356 | Registered: Tuesday, April 6 2004 07:00 |

My favorite moods are excitement, wonder, and the feeling I get when I finally get my turn on the computer. :P Well, just generally being happy, which I am most of the time. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Damn. A lot of motivated types around here. I wish I got that one, even just once in a while. I'm sure it'd feel quite nice.

I have many cheer-up songs. Surprisingly, the main ones tend to be techno songs. I find them relaxing, but only when they are quiet. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. Polaris Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |
