Does our subconscious mind project the desired experience of the day, there I go again philosophizing, my mama tells me I do that far too much. Mama like action so maybe I got that honest ( walking to the car getting in). Time to set the sound track of the day, yea this is the one. ITS FRIDAY!

(Arriving getting out the car the music stops, walking in the sports bar) First things first scan the room. There she is and she saved me a seat. This is the hot seat.
