Envy

There was only quiet for a moment and you could hear the wheels churning in the minds of the office workers, silently plotting their escape to the weekend. It presented an opportunity to muse about having nothing to muse about, a little introspection perhaps. There was quiet for only a moment.

Then there was something that solved that little problem of nothing to feel much about lately. Envy - that horrible, evil, greedy, hateful feeling was unleashed in full force on a lonely girl with her single paper cup of coffee.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND WITH SUITCASES RUSHING TO CATCH A CRUISE HOLIDAY ON A FRIDAY MORNING???!!!

Ear piercing shrill of kids flaunting their lack of responsibility and care, grating grind of luggage wheels on the floor that seemed to slope down towards the cruise center as if they weren't getting there enough! Pink, red, yellow, blue bags and straw hats! And the worst -

"Wouldnt it be nice if we had left yesterday instead?"

Russian Dolls

Brilliant. You bet its a better date movie than Date Movie.

Enjoy!

Transamerica

Came out of this one in the same mood as Brokeback. Not sure what to feel about the ending but knowing that it was an excellent movie.

Alot of themes in there and Felicity Huffman is an amazing actress - a woman acting as a man acting as a woman. All the subtleties and imagery used are so apt for the points the movie tries to make. Add to that a healthy dose humour and realism and its no wonder its an Oscar nominee.


Plus it smelt good in there.

A little melancholy for the day

And it came to me then that every plan
Is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself
That I’ve already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself

‘Cause there’s no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes ‘round and everyone lift their heads
But I’m thinking of what Sarah said

That love is watching someone die

So who’s gonna watch you die?

- What Sarah Said,
Deathcab for Cutie

One

Trevor Jalla is an amazing performer. Between the goofy grins and that twisting left leg is man and music in one. What flows from heart to hand to guitar flows back into a sound that, while created by legends before him, in that moment, belongs to Trevor Jalla and Trevor Jalla only. Perhaps that's why he's able to play all that blues in his own style and still make it work. He is so familiar and comfortable with the music that he can manipulate it to create something that is his own.

"Come on Trevor, speak to us. Speak to us in Guitar-ese"

A Real Charmer

" I see a 36-24-36 happening!

Stop right there!
You have the right to remain luscious.
Anything you say will make me hold you against me."

- guess who

"We are demonstrating in order to protect press freedom in Kenya. Press freedom in Kenya is under siege," Raila Odinga

"The freedoms of Kenyans and of the media are not favours from the government... A government that does not respect the freedom of speech must go," William Ruto

"Anybody who is infringing on press freedom must go," Kalonzo Musyoka

Tell me again - we are more advanced than them?

Hmm. been thinking of posting something for a while but wasn't really inspired by anything that's happened in my life. thats not to say that nothing's happened of course.. if anything... haha

i dont wanna jinx it. but things have gone well, i'm thankful for that.

and then there's jake gyllenhaal and heath ledger. thankful for them too ; )

I love you more than words can wield the matter;
Dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty;
Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare;
No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honour;
A love that makes breath poor, and speech unable.
Beyond all manner of so much I love you.

I profess Myself an enemy to all other joys
Which the most precious square of sense possesses,
And find I am alone felicitate In your love.


Now, our joy, Although the last, not least; to whose young love
The vines of France and milk of Burgundy Strive to be interest; what can you say to draw
A third more opulent?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Nothing.

Nothing can come of nothing. Speak again.

Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave
My heart into my mouth. I love you
According to my bond; no more nor less.

You have begot me, bred me, lov'd me;
I Return those duties back as are right fit,
Obey you, love you, and most honour you.

But goes thy heart with this?
So young, and so untender?

So young, my lord, and true.

Let it be so! thy truth then be thy dower!

Company and crowd

Company's hard to figure out sometimes.. hardly get it right. Dont usually have a problem nowadays, but tonight.. when i'm still running on India time, it kinda snuck up on me. missing something? Most probably. Alot of people. They might know.

Could always appreciate it though. Just tonight is abit hard to get through for some reason.

The still is daunting and blasting music comforts not.
Let me go to sleep.

anyone recognizes this?

wake up. and watch the sunrise
your day, its just begun
and your first thought, of tomorrow
are of the things that must be done

when you fall asleep tonight
what will it be that makes you smile
is it the light thats in your eyes
as you face the challenges down

when you find whats deep inside
that keeps you going on
when you find you love your life
what's more that can't be done

there are days that put you off
nothing moves at all
the world is dead and so on
do you believe or will you fall

keep in touch with me
tell me all your stories
of the victories in your dreams
that we can make reality

tomorrow when you wake
listen to the call
if you waver if you break
your love, your pride - will take the fall

*Happy*
