ahhh...everybody's so negative in the world.they'll almost get you,too if you don't watch out.but I still believe in magic.I know someone else who can be bitter and cynical,too,but he believes.There it is in his heart.The following songs are magical to me and are great in that they are funky and are fun and have a sense of whimsy:all my dreams,the question of u(even the live version on 2 Nigs United for Rotterdam is da bomb!!),christopher tracy's parade,old friends 4 sale(yes, sad feelings,but something about the keyboard touches and the line"life ain't no good without fantasy" somehow touch me and I don't feel the end reslt will be sad),heaven,moonbeam levels(anothe sorta claustraphobic song,but I really like the idea of searching for perfection and trying to make perfect love-deeper than just physical),dorothy parker(what can be said?pure magic),i can add it's gonna be lonely and with you because they are the first songs i've ever heard a man sing to a woman that were so vulnerable and pure,private joy(that puppey love feeling of your middle school girlfriend and also the times when you broke records for masturbating in a day!5,by the way!),annie christian(beautiful,soothing,and scary,),the beautiful ones(haunting and powerful),the grand progression(another haunting ditty),girl(reminds me of my sweet girlfriend back then who had the green eyes...i gave her this 12 inch o her birthday and told her to think of me when playing it...she was sheer perfection.she was so creamy and fine i could've eaten chitterlings off her body!), whoa!!i know i'm forgetting some.

i'm gonna leave this.I want to make a playlist of the tracks that give me that feeling.I'll entitle it The WonderMints..ok that's corny.Anyway,here are a few tracks nby other artists that give me a sense of wonderment:the last balloon-xtc,comfortably numb-pink floyd,nightboat,the chauffeur,tel aviv,friends of mine-duran duran,abduljamid
