Reason to Smile

Until today, for the past one week or so I haven't had any reason to smile.. No reason to exercise any of the eighteen muscles responsible for it.. However 2 days back (i.e. the 15th) and today gave me reasons to smile..
15th.. My, what an awesomely amazing day.. Have you ever had a dream and then suddenly had it fulfilled without any expectations of it happening? Well, that happened to me the day before..
I've always dreamed of holding a Les Paul (playing it was a distant dream!).. I've dreamed of singing for a band.. I've dreamed of playing the drums.. I've dreamed of singing like Axl Rose on a mic along with the amazing guitar riffs that go with Sweet Child 'O Mine..Well, Wednesday fulfilled all these dreams :) I went to a friend's place as it was a common friend's birthday.. As I entered his bedroom, the first thing that caught my eye (apart from Slash's poster on his wall) was the fact that his room looked like a mini studio - with a drum kit, mics, amplifiers and electric and acoustic guitars.. I thought I had walked into my favourite fantasy.. I played on a Les Paul electric guitar.. I sang like Axl Rose.. I played on the drums.. I was the lead singer for a couple of songs!!! I was on top of the world.. I didn't want the day to come to an end.. Though it did, I still get shivers running down my spine every time I think of holding the solid, heavy, golden brown Les Paul.. *sigh* And after that we sat discussing what guys do when they have crushes and what girls do in the same situation: What do we think, What do we feel, Why does it matter so much of that person phones, Why is he giving me his/her phone number, How do I ask?, Does she/he think of me in that way?, Why did they say that?, What are they thinking?, Do they know I like them?.... It was fun analysing and dissecting the various thought processes that plague the minds of those who have recently fallen for someone... :)
Today I smiled because I got to talk to a person I cherish and value a whole lot.. I got to talk to that person after nearly ten days.. It felt good, it made me feel complete, and most importantly, it made me smile.. :)
Anyhow, I have to face the rest of the days without having miracles like this to brighten up my day.. I have to face the music (yeah right) and the harsh reality, the reality that my life isn't going anywhere, and that I'm going to be stuck at my home for the next month or so (I hope I get the news that it isn't going to be for longer than that, soon)..
Oh well, two days out of ten isn't that bad.. 20% is something to be cheerful about (yeah right)
