Song Shlong

I totally forgot what I came online for.

Oh right. Josh left.
During his stay we jammed for a bit and mixed some recordings. That makes me smile.
Played with Douche Dundah!, Deej's barker band.

It was a joy to meet and hang out with those dudes. \m/
Helios is improving,

Douche Dundah! 2

So i heard some ac independant prefects say that Barker won the damn show by 60 votes, but they had to crown (i) the winners for the sake of saving face or something like that. Guess they lost more dignity than they tried to salvage.

Douche Dundah!

Battle of the bands was awesome. Deej's band rocked out with their licks, and their lead vox (winner of teenage icon) basically stole the whole show. Helios got f*king drunk on 18 year old gold label and started swearing in every other sentance he mouthed, and this is as far as it goes. (I'm a nice guy. Ask him if you wish.) But overall, the night was epic. Barker rocked hard and deserved to win but, with independant.. Guess they had a bigger fan base?
Anyways, to Uresh, Tim, Dj, Barney, Andrew and Uriah, I am your no.1 fan! So is Josh. And, Andrew, you're not a creep. Stop singing that song.

My indecisiveness is killing me. Right now, I've got some thoughts jumbled in my head - to, or not to, to go for it or give it up. It was getting nowhere and I really didn't want to put any more thought into it, so I decided to distract myself with a game of dota. I realised that I couldn't hold up 2 A.I Insane heroes with a Dwarven Sniper, and I wasn't really satisfied so I tried over and over, and I basically wasted the night away. Oh crap.

Hammers and Hearts.

Technically, I wouldn't say the set was freaky styley, (I don't know if it was even a set) but being surrounded by good friends and a sweet, cosy cheer was more than I could ask for. Sharing the somewhat "stage" with the people I know was definitely a perk in addition to that. Colleen, I thought you did really well tonight, My Heart was awesome. Don't look so down aye love, singing with you has been the best thing ever since. :)

I've always pictured myself sharing the stage with the people I know, and making the best sound around. The euphoric moment is priceless.

Contentment

All I wanted was sincere honest company, and that was what I got. Conviviality at its purest form, and I am more than grateful. Cheers to Yun, Elisha, Ken and Colleen, my love. To second chances, closing the door that I have successfully reopened. That some people that you least expected actually do look out for you. All the birthday wishes and, last but not least, all the friendly deeds.

I lay with her one afternoon, wrapped up against the cold, and it was the best hour of my life. I felt then that the adherence, and the little pits in human flesh, were all linked together for some great end right out of the net of words to catch. Not just my words, but anyone's. Then I lost it. Time came back. For always.

The result of a constant request:

Indecision - the biggest waste of time.
Guess I don't show it, but right now I don't wanna feel a thing. The deathly shrills of silence has gotten me into a headlock.
Its ironic how senseless screams and growls can silence the perpetual screaming. Maybe its enthusiasm unnoticed or the numbing silence, cold to the touch.
Whatever it is, it's turned me into a self regarding, impatient little bastard, who derives pleasure from being in his own narcissistic little world, who just doesn't want to feel.


I guess I've been too dependent.
I guess the past and the future, don't hold the same responsibilities.

If what we call love doesn't take us beyond ourselves, it is not really love. If we have the idea that it is chracterised as cautious, wise, sensable, shrewd and never taken to extremes, we have missed the true meaning. This may describe affection and it might bring a warm feeling, but it is not a true and accurate description of love.

I believe this is the start of something painful

The day didn't quite end off with a bang. So when one of the staff from them insurance/bank agencies approached me for the second time, I replied, "Yeah, I'm in the army." Naturally, she started explaining something about a saving's account to me.

(Students can't open a savings account apparently. The first time they asked if I was in the army and for some of my time, I said I was still studying. So to all reading this, guys with shaved heads are not necessarily in the army. Don't be fooled!)

It was just harmless fun, I thought. A friendly chat and a nice game of pretend might just cheer me up. SO, I was Samuel, 18, in the army and playing rugby for SAFSA for that half hour. As I was drifting in and out, I was wondering how the hell she didn't notice I was in school pants, carrying books around, and other give away factors like such. After about 30 mins or so I got bored and said I had to be home for dinner. I should be expecting a call this weekend. One which I am not going to answer.
Thank god the road show ends this Sunday.

Stars.

So overwhelming. One touch is all it takes before intense takes control. It flows, with a radiant glow, from your fingertips down to your toes. You succumb to its warmth and amore. It rejuvinates your soul.

You want it to last, just like the droplets of vapour on the other side of the glass. Like dew on grass in the morning. You think, maybe someone came with a pin and poked holes into the nothingness, so we could see heaven. You thank him for that. You think harder, and think it through, for something more to say, but the words don't come out right.

For love, is more than just good company. Appreciate it. Embrace it.



As I left for church this morning, I saw an eagle soaring above me. He looked like he was looking for breakfast or lunch, or whatever eagles eat in the morning. Anyway, he kept flying directly overhead, so I squinted my eyes and pretended I was holding a kite string that led all the way up to him. I got to fly that eagle for about six minutes, and headed for church, guilelessly satisfied.

I wonder how many people notice when stars burn out

The day started off like any other school day, same people, same faces, except I realised that something was missing.

During class, I felt a perpetual tugging inside, a certain black that was draning me slowly. like an empty star. Cruel, I thought it was, there wasn't much of me left. Something was missing.

Looking at the empty seats around, I thought, why couldn't you fill up one of them? Wasn't possible. Nope, not here.
Not now.

When you give me your crazy eyes it makes me wonder what you're thinking. Caught me off guard. Good one.

When you laugh, I can't help but feel happy for you at the same time crossing every finger I own, hoping that you're genuinely happy.

By keeping away from feelings, you dont make yourself stronger. Only weaker. By pushing away friends who care, you not only hurt yourself. You hurt us too.

Insecurites

Life can be a whore sometimes. There are days when you wake up, bursting with energy, knowing that you'll totally smash any impediment that comes your way, but sometimes, you just want to sleep in.
But, NO. There's school. You get periods lined up with fat teachers that take two thirds of an hour explaning everything but the topic we're supposed to cover and ones with thick makeup that threatens to report the class and our doings by taking photos with her camera phone, and then WHAM! This foxy young relief teacher comes into class and hands out a test, and everyone inevitably quietens down and actually finishes it. Okay, that was highly coloured. And besides the point.

This is your life, are you who you want to be?

Are you? Some of us are. I definately am not.
Hold fast to your dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly. The greatest achievements were at first and for a time dreams.

I finally realise the reason for my neighbour's complians. Before, I thought why the hell couldn't they compromise since their kid played the piano. But the fact that their old, bedridden mother lives with them just came to my notice. She's in a stroke so she needs to be resting 24/7 and by resting she means peace and quiet throughout. Theres no compromise in that.

Can't help but think whats willing an old lady on the verge of death to carry on living. Where is she deriving her strength from? She's half alive. Would she be better off dead? She would no longer have to live in agony. Or was she already numb from all her calamities?
I'm only human.

Not being able to find the time to drum burns,
having my dreams hindered causes hemorrhage, and rapid uncoordinated twitching movements of the heart that causes a lack of pulse and circulation inducing a slow, arduous death.

Why do electronic metronomes cost so much?
I need to get on the drum throne now and play a funk groove, learn my five/fours and seven/eights. But NO, I can't. Not now. Wood between fingers is as far as it'd go.

Talks of tomorrow

Sunday was the best and the saddest.

We met up with Fredrich and lanned for a bit. Fooze-ed and perpetually got distracted by god knows what.
After what seemed like 3 minutes, the rest agreed they haven't gotten enough of Winter Mauling so they went, while we reminisced over a sub.

The first song we jammed.. (American Idiot.) When I won my first grand.. Coconut tree bubble bath.. ...(That was damn gay, come to think of it. But we were just kids.)

We talked of our plans when he would be coming back for good, and that included apartment rental, which meant free jammage, and a controlled consumption of booze. (if that exists)

After hanging out for a bit, we spotted a studio and dragged Dj over, where we rocked out hard. Chilies style.

"When I come back the next time you'll see I'll be 10 times better than my standards now."
We've known each other much earlier than when Anthony met Flea. Well, if this keeps up, I'll be anticipating something phenomenal.

Cheers to Scar Tissue making people wanna smoke pot and then having the Central Narcotics Bureau coming over to your school and telling you the dire consequences of drug abuse.

I'd give if you'll take it

We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts radiate a sense of respect when they speak or act of it. It follows them like a shadow that never leaves.

Having to carry the guilt of watching someone taking the fall for you is unbearably intolerable. Even if he says he did it on his own accord. My sincere apologies again, if only you'd accept.

And thank you.

Tour was okay, I guess. Accomplished what we set out for - the team is alot closer now.

17th Jan - sain selangor (25-17)
We beat the state champions in I think my best game so far. But still not convincing enough.

19th Jan - Royal Military College (12-15)
A 3 point difference game. (i've always hated losing by a close score ever since the c division semis against ri) Our opponents were bigger and so were our hits. We nailed them each time when they were on their 12-phase run.
We went down swinging.

The Chinese classroom is a time warp zone where everything moves in slow-motion upon entrance. The teacher emits sleeping gas as she speaks, and if you look hard enough, you might even spot floating sandcastles.


Today The man woke up a little late (at 7), left the house at 7.20 and managed to reach school before the bell rang. (i have no idea how i pulled that off) But unfortunately, the day didn't end off as awesomely as it started.

I've developed a new kind of phobia. (more like the relapse of an old one) Its the abruptleaveationophobia. I don't think I'd have the balls to stare down the throat of another one of those again. It's ineffable. Sucks as hell isn't even close. In every possible way.

Dejavu
Mae - We're so far away
Remembering, everything
About my world and when you came
Wondering, the change you’d bring
Means nothing else would be the same
Did you know, what you were doing
Did you know? Did you know
How you would move me, well
I don’t really think so
But the night came down
And swept us away
And the stars, they seemed
To paint the most
Elaborate scene, today

How could we know, that song, this show
We learned so much about ourselves
From Toledo, to Tokyo
The words were scribed on every page
And now there’s books up on our shelves
Did you know, how you would move us
Did you know, When the lights
First came upon us, and we
Saw the everglow
And the moments magic swept us away
And the young mans dream
Was almost seen so plain

When was the night
That showed us the sign
Revealed in the sky
To leave all behind
But where to begin
Throw the caution, to the wind
We’ll reach for the stars
Everything is now ours


Did you know, how you would move me
Did you know? Did you know
How you would move me well
I don’t even think so

But the moments magic swept us away

And it’s so close
But we’re so far away

The unexamined life is not worth living.

First things first - study, train, practice. This should be the default order of the prolepsis of my life right now, (a championship title holder, a degree holder, a professional drummer) but i'm afraid it is not in that order right now.

I need more than just pointless verbiage.

Anyways, I hope you are all having a great new year, I have already broken 2 of the 6 resolutions that i made, (kinda) and it is not even a week into the new year. (Dammit, I just weighed myself, I'm 65kg and abit. This makes it 3/6) This sucks, I guess not all resolutions are easy to fulfill after all.

Left my iPod in Colleen's bag, and I'm feeling very restless. The flesh under my skin is starting to decay, and the pH level of my blood is gradually decreasing, slowly eating me from the inside out. Definitely not a pretty sight.

Josh came over and we free jammed for a bit. Things are sounding much better with my new bronze 10 incher. It's really bright and trashy, it cuts through music with ease.

Cheers to all unfinished homework, and depressing realizations that one single new day on a calendar can not change you as a person as much as you would like it to, with a cherry on top.

Pandemonium

Yes, my class got Dr Diego AGAIN. After 2 months of holiday, he's still the teacher.. That doesn't believe that my name's Daniel Joshua. (because i didn't respond the first time he called me)

[During morning assembly attendance taking, it went something like..]

Dr Diego: Brendan.. ... Wilson.. ... Daniel Joshua..
Me [jokingly] : Sir, I thought you said I'm not Daniel Joshua?
Dr Diego: Then who is he?
Wilson: Oh, his name starts with a H. H,E,L..
Dr Diego: No, he's not Helios. I know who Helios is. You're not Daniel Joshua, so he's absent.
[I showed him my ezlink card]
Dr Diego: Why do you have his thing?

On a brighter note, I finally got my splash. Thanks be to Josh. He partially paid for it. "For the good of music!" he says. Its a Bronze 10 incher. (that came out wrong there) Its a Paiste PST 5 as you can see. I love Paiste cymbals.

The V.I.Ps, not r.i.ps

As this year is coming to a close, I thought I'd show my gratitude to those that walked my 07' with me, through thick and thin.
07' was pretty much an exhilarating year for me, minus the dispiriting moments. Exhilarating yet arduous somehow. Yes, this post is (yet again) Ryan-inspired. You'll see why in a moment.

Helios, Big Keef and Wilson
Come on, school without you guys would be a bleepin bore! Does "fire extinguisher" ring a bell? I bet g-string does too huh. (I can totally feel it coming)
During one of Mrs Dee's English lessons in P4, Helios and I forgot to bring our english textbooks and were shitting bricks at the back of class. Frack'n hilarious.
Keef, I'm sorry about Steph.

Ryan
My mother thinks he's a damn nice boy. :)
He gives math tuition for sweets. He inspires me.. with crazy ideas. He is a whole a lot of pain and stupidity.. And just pure randomness. "Hey Dj! I bet you can't squat while skating very fast.." "..and let's make a chu-chu train!" (that resulted in a scar on my right knee) " "What's your underwear size?" Your "i <3 my boyfriend" tee.
You have been a friend.

Daniel Lim

Although this was in 06', knowing that you were chasing down the other side of the scrum was pretty assuring.

That was the most enjoyable season I had.
Most of the time you're in Taiwan now, but I'm glad we have not lost contact. Hope you're able to get your Blink cd. ;)

Josh
Cute Chubby walking teddy - crazy awesome better than hendrixslashmayer put together with hippie like hair guitarist. Its been awesome sharing common dreams and goals and achieving them together.

Can't believe I've known you for so long. You've grown a whole lot since the center parting Jillyn Tan with the brown skirt I knew from Sunday School! Although you can be a pain in the rectum sometimes, you put a smile on my face all the other times. :D Thanks for being there. You have impacted my life greatly in many ways this year. and.. Don't stop baking!

Jt
I've known you even before the jiak lor mee days. And when you went on incessantly about how you were going to spike your hair like your brother in P3 but never did until P5. (although you claim to not remember) You've been an inspiration to me in many ways, (and still are) both on and off the field. If you ask me, nothing binds friendship better than time. Gimme a big one bro. HUG.

Zheng Qiang
Can't thank you enough. I admire your humility and generosity. I really appreciate the countless selfless hours you've sacrificed for me. It's very hard to let you down.
I passed my math supplementaries too by the way. :D

COLLEEN CHIA
Thought there were some things I thought I could not have possibly gotten over, but I guess I was wrong. When I look into your eyes I see the dreams and goals I have set for myself. I see your determination and drive, and that keeps me going. I see you for who you truly are.

"It starts in my toes

This smiling facade can't last forever. Just like Hope that fled in a chariot of

Bukkakarols

The feeling of knowing you've made somebody's day is exceptionally sweet that it makes your's too.

Was supposed to meet Josh and Dj to pass him his guitar at noon, but the geniuses was still at home when i called.
SO i casually decided to rest my bum on one of the uPapa couches at P.S, not willing to slug the guitar around. Brochure said it improves blood circulation but I had pins and needles in my feet when I was done. Here's the interesting bit. You see, the uPapa is not very big, it only takes up about half the back of the couch. SO, it pivots your back at an angle if you lean back, leaving your chest sticking out. Unfortunately for me, the elderly lady in the next chair was doing just that, with the uPapa on auto...

Lets just say it was an uncanny sight.





But funny nonetheless.

Sing me something soft,
sad and elegant
or loud and out of key
Sing me anything

Make a big sound this Christmas!

The last two weeks have been kinda busy, but pretty great. Being preoccupied with jamming and hanging out before Christmas is an amazing thing. (I won't mention the studying, it just spoils the mood)

Keith adds a hell lota dynamic to the sound we make. Pops and slaps like its free. I felt he clicked with the band rather well the first time we jammed. The word's "smooth". We really hope he'd stay. Ken and Colleen are progressing very well! Kudos to them. Josh went crazy in a solo during the last session, like John Frusciante in the music video of Can't Stop when he solos (no marshmallows though). He cut his finger on the strings but he was still having a mighty good time. We all did. It just feels incredibly awesome when we get "in-the-zone" and naturally make a HUMONGOUS sound, its IN-EFF-ABLE.

Unrelated.. A phobia is a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it. Colleen is matophobic. I think it makes her racist, sorta. You go figure.

My house is such a jungle.
I encounted this mighty FAT lizard on my adventurous journey to the bathroom. My first reaction was to melee it but it dodged every single strike with its lightning quick reflexes and its ultra quick movement speed out ran every single one of my rubber band shots. I had greatly underestimated this little beast.
I was left with no other choice so I brought on the heavy artillery. I baygonned its little pansy guts out.

"NO. i pawned its sorry little ass."

I'll make your fear melt away

Sometimes I wish that I was a little bit more poetic. I cant find the right words to say. And sometimes, it just so happens that someone I know happens to say the right thing for me. I was browsing around the web today and found a quote that gave me a smile and a little tingle. Its funny how sometimes you find something so perfect when you are just wasting time. (something which i do a lot of right now) Anyways,


-Recently i have found that life is much more complex, oddly enough i have discovered this complexity in the simplicity of monotony. Its when our lives settle into a groove when you find out what is most important. over the past year and a half i have been watching things settle. and i am not too sure i enjoy all that is rising to the top. but that is why i try to stay as close to the Lord as possible. when these things rise to the top, he can reach down and take them out. staying close to the lord is not easy, but i guess thats how refining feels and does to you. and i am pleased to say that through all my struggles and failures that i love the lord more today than i ever have in my whole life. i thank the lord every day for his grace, and i am thankful that it is not missing.

And the world we know disappear

Just came back from a food/wine tasting session for my uncle's wedding and my, the food was awesome. It had to be.
I think my future Gramp-In-Law has a secret liking for me. He kept passing me his share with a smile saying he's not feeling well. I humbly (gladly) accepted. :)

It'll be my uncle's wedding next week. (good riddance) Which means I have to clear my room. (people are coming over) Which also means Josh will be back in 2 weeks. Which means my next set of supplementary papers are in 5 weeks. Which also means the stupid sups will thwart my jamming plans. smeelyliuhpeeenysphuchas

Baby Got Back (80s edition)

Had a shot at singing in front of over a thousand people today, and my, it felt spectacular. Never really thought of persuing singing. Never thought I'd actually like singing! I drum better than I sing any day, but I guess the thought of performing just gets me all perked up.

My dads giving the door a new coat of paint in anticipation of my uncle's wedding. Bummer. I didn't get to see him saw off part of it. Did you see the see saw as I saw it?



Brrrrr..

Anyway, this was brought to you by the conjugation of the verb "to see", saws, googly eyes, and fun.

A Time For Jammage

L!ME Sonic Bang was a blast. Would have been early if not for the photo shoot thingamagiggy.
Had a coupla rounds of beach touch before the gig really started.

West Grand and Caracal owned the stage as usual. I love Fire Fight's new line up. They sound a lot like angels and airwaves now with their latest addition Chris Ong on synthesizers. I think Allura's drummer (Han Quan) is very promising.
Went to grab a bite before the moshing bands. I didn't feel quite well actually. But things got better just before AVA. The last few shows were a pleasant improvement from the last bunch.
Note to self: PUT ON FOOTWEAR WHEN MOSHING.

Ended the day walking through a dark, deserted sentosa with my buttons and Caracal tee. Thank goodness there were taxis or else it would have been one helluva walk to the city.

Half of my supplementary papers are over and done with - I feel pretty liberated. It a mixed feeling though. The paper was a tad too easy even for some one (with a history with mathematics) like me, so something inside of me is telling me its too good to be true. But ah heck. Time will tell. For now I've got about a week or so to make full use of my holidays. Or part of.

"Today I will teach you how to how to solo in 4/4."

Then we got around to doing shuffle, swing and blues - An introduction to jazz. Things are slowly beginning to spice up. I cant wait for the next lesson.

I've been spending (wasting) most of my holidays studying for my sups, going for extra classes and what not. Seems like i wont be having any breaks (not even full holidays) from now till Os. Lovedrug is telling me to pretend I'm alive.

Shes a brick and I'm drowning slowly

Fred Jones was worn out
From caring for his often
Screaming and crying wife
During the day but
He couldn't sleep at night for fear that she
In a stupor from the drugs that didn't
Ease the pain would set the house ablaze
With a cigarette

Bycaramba!

This (school) year has come and gone really quickly. (its always the case in retrospect)
Relationships have been tested. Some have been forged and some have been distanced. A couple'uf testing experiences has definately scarred us with vivid impressions of this year.

The past few days were pretty much eat, sleep, repeat but damn the sup papers - I gotta start studying again. 1 week + 5 topics x 4 subjects = possible failure. Which also means I'll possibly have to drop to Combined Sciences. I do not want to streamline my courses (AND future job opportunities) just yet.
Studies aside, I've got trainings and much tuition and classes to keep me busy this holidays, but well, on the other hand, it would be good if I could get myself a job to scare up some cash - the lan shops and theatres are sucking me dry.

I'd better get to bed if I don't wanna be late meeting the principle tomorrow.

Are you happy?

I hate it when my performance fluctuates. Like a lady's moodswings. (in general) It sucks how a single instrument can either make or break a set. Its sucks how a single instrument can make or break a person's day.

I believe in perfection through practice. But I cant. Well, at least not right now. It is a skill picked up through experience. I'm not going to get any experience locked up at home and practicing all day. I want to get better. I really do. In fact, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I don't.

I cant comprehend myself. What makes me happy really? Music? I feel that it is just a medium in which the truth is smothered. I cant face reality so I consume myself with music instead.


I keep giving in.

Sometimes we don't need new scenery,
we just need new eyes.

I need to listen to something good. But unfortunately, something's stopping my iPod from syncing. Whatever it is, its got me by the ankles, in a gyration, churning my insides and killing me slowly. It gets into your blood and slowly sucks the life outta you. That probably explains why I've been feverish lately. (yeah right, its lack of sleep) But life goes on.

My mother typed the above sentence (she has a Bachaelor's degree)

However, I had another drum solo lesson with Jimmy and it was the first best thing that happened today. He too said that the school will be putting me in a band to play for their annual concert.
It was a total cacophony of awesomeness. (the lesson + the news after)

Firefly.

And i don't think we'll get out of this hell,
but the time here with you has been nice,
a cold love bloody knuckle trigger finger riding on the edge of mind,
a salute to the end of the world,
and a beautiful end with you girl?

"Bury us," they said,
while panic in my mind was broken

You gotta pull stars down to be someone,

and when you've chemi-claimed the sun you gotta,

let the oceans fill your life somehow,

you gotta break the damn and wave to yourself




Is the place to be this saturday.

OH and

is slowly becoming closer reality. :D

from here to the farmlands, to spread love like violence


Let me feel you carry you higher
watch our words spread hope like fire
secret crowds rise up and gather
hear your voices, sing back louder

Recently, I got myself a pair of orange ear phone gloves and I think its damn sexy so i put it on for fun.

Haha. No, I kid. But I still think its sexy.

Well anyway, these few lines of Pretend You're Alive by Lovedrug ran through my head countless times as I was attempting the chem paper (pretty much in vain), and I was tryna figure it out. But I couldn't really.

Oh enjoy life, oh enjoy life
Climbing up those trees, and breaking all your knees.

Watch angels in the morning, become a devil's afternoon
I will panic in the evening, underneath the crashing moon.
So fall in love, while you can still hold your head up high
and pretend that you're alive, again.


and that resulted in me idling away precious time day dreaming about being a rock star..
UNTIL NOW. Wo, typing it out helped. I get it. I think it'd be something Jillyn can relate to.
I shall summarise.

"Climbing up those trees, and breaking all your knees"
Tying out many different options, but similar, because trees are still trees. (trees are abundant). But none seem to work out.

"Watch angels in the morning, become a devil's afternoon"
People change.

"I will panic in the evening, underneath the crashing moon"
And that leads to a dilema. The person does not know what to do.
Note: chronological order - morning, afternoon, evening. crashing moon - night

"So fall in love, while you can still hold your head up high"
Fall in love, you have nothing to be ashamed about.



Holy! Shuffle is playing Sunday Bloody Sunday. The drum intro is sooo seductive.
But Lit is tomorrow.

The day I got a cat-whistle

All my confidence in getting at least a B in math (or at least passing for the first time in my entire secondary school life) was shattered by the Dr PHDbutstillnodifferencegaybraininanus
"Guys you are far too noisy"
"What?"
"You are far too N.O.S.Y, noisy" brainless and did I mention gay teacher? (He's actually gay, its gross)
Maybe i should get the photo of him french-kissing an indian guy that Brendan ripped off from his laptop and post it online.

I dont care, he sucks. He took my untied paper before I could finish writing my name on all the pieces. He sucks.

And to top it off my ipod died on me on my way home and I was cat-called by an old man on a bicycle.
Judge me.



After all this ranting, an hour of heartracing, sweat dripping, hardcore stick grabbing action with my baby sounds good.

Lovedrug - Down Towards The Healing

I want to make you happy but
I've fallen, I'm sorry.
I thought my wings could hold me up with angels, not demons,
You don't know how cool you are
To find the ways to love me without shame.

I want my life to be red with trees like autumn,
I'd float away from evil and down towards the healing,
So sad now we have become
The children trapped in the mazes,
I'd give my soul to the one
Who has the courage to find me and free me now.

If I run,
I'll just become like all the faking lights,
So let the thunders take me under and break my legs tonight.
Let the thunders take me under and break my legs tonight.
Let the thunders take me under and break my legs tonight.

(Hallelujah, I'm not breathing)



Lovedrug and their killer lyrics. Its more than meets the eye. I think this song has a deeper meaning than just being about a relationship.

"I want my life to be red with trees and like autumn"
sounds like he's saying he wants to bring more color and depth to his life. More meaning and substance. Or, he wants his life to be something special and beautiful. Red (blue) represents vibrance and vitality.

"So sad that we have become the children trapped in the mazes"
could be referencing the fact that many people get lost in the business of what they think life is. They get trapped in and lost in the hustle-bustle of things and forget to take time to just slow down, think, and live. (something many a times we often forget to do)

"If I run, I'll just become like all the faking lights."
If we run along with what everyone else says is cool or popular, originality will lose its meaning. We'll just be trying to fit in with what everyone else is doing, "faking lights" - (aka posuers lol) even though fitting in is really what everyone else is really trying to do too.

"So let the thunders take me under and break my legs tonight" is kinduf like a surrender. Note : "run" and "break my legs"

Best song ever.
(I should really analyse the other Lovedrug songs after the exams and be sedated by their lyrics)

For you,

the allegiant



Come back, this hungry orphan needs a place to stay
though the odds are against this, wont you be coming back here

my runways been smooth from second chances
destroy and reform till we all disappear


I'm getting used to knowing you as just a name without a face

Scroll clockwise to increase numbing sensation
Scroll clockwise and succumb

fall into pairs, like two ugly fish
too rare for extinction,

i know

the veins in your hand felt sort of like summer,
calm to the touch, oh no


and my god how did we survive
the paper scars, oh
bless my stars

you said you're sorry



I wore a grey shirt today for what its worth.

They say
when life throws you a curved ball, make the best out of it.

From the point of view of an optimist, I'd say that life's good. Only it could have been better.
Or am i just deluding myself?

You cant get everything you want, can you?
I want many answers. Some of which i might not even have the questions for

I'm piecing the numbers and figures
fixing the puzzles you pulled apart.

Live and learn

I need an impetous to get me studying hard.
I need to hit a drum kit.
I need to improve.
I need to learn how to let go.
I need to make wise decisions.

I need/crave to hear a cymbal ring. (now)
I still need to do something crazy.

I need to learn how to let go.

The greatest tragedy of modern life is that we live our days in quiet desperation.
All our little bottled insecurities are the real issues tormenting us. It is these personal issues, together with our minor everyday problems, that fills a little vaccum in ourselves; a vaccum that determines the goals we set in our lives. How we seperate ourselves from the mainstream fodder.
