Bell Boy

I had a bad day today and I find it sort of fitting that Bell Boy is today’s Quadrophenia song of the day. Alright, I am going to kept this short. Jimmy is feeling  pretty good, and takes a walk past the hotel that the Mods had smashed the last time he was in Brighton and he someone that he thinks that he knows.

Once Jimmy gets closer he realizes that the person that he recognizes is the ace face. If you remember from our Mod lingo lesson from yesterday that ace face what the person who set the trends even for the trend setters. Well, he was working as a bell boy at that same hotel that the Mod had wrecked. The fact that the ace face in fact a bell boy seems to ruin Jimmy’s day. For Jimmy the ace face needed to be something more than a bell boy that is how high of regard that Jimmy held the ace face. Seeing the ace face in a menial job makes Jimmy lose his faith in being a Mod. This is point where Jimmy loses faith in everything, and that is how his bad day begins.

If you remember Jimmy has four personalities, really how could you forget, and Bell Boy is another. This song brings forth the lunatic, and the Who member that embodies that craziness is, of course, Keith Moon. To make the lunatic really come to life Keith Moon even voiced the Bell Boy, which is just perfect.

Alright Who lovers I really want to write more, but am not really feeling like it due to the bad day thing. Really you are lucky that I wrote anything at all. For now enjoy Bell Boy.

BEDA - Day Twenty-Three

AAAARRRRRGGGGG!!!!! Unfortunately this is how I am feeling right now. I consider myself to be a pretty positive person, but there are times that I just get down. It really sucks because I had a great weekend, and was feeling really good, and then today happened.

Remember when I said that the weather controls my mood? Well, today was chilly and raining and I didn’t want to go out, but I had too. I walked to the store with my umbrella and had it almost go inside out several times, why don’t they invent a wind resistant umbrella? And it didn’t really do any good anyway; I still got damp because of the rain. It was dim in my apartment all day and I didn’t end up getting anything done all day.

There are other things that happened today that are too personal to write about, but let me say that sometimes life sucks. When the sky is grey and it rains I can’t help but feel like my life is never going to get better. Days like today make me feel like crawling into bed and pulling the covers over my head.

Well, now that I have depressed you all, I will finish by saying that tomorrow is another day. “I had no shoes and I complained until I met the man who had no feet”. The sun will shine again. I want to say that things will look better in the morning, but that is not always the case. Sometimes the sun stays away for a couple days, but it always returns sooner or later.
