What was I thinking?

I hope my smile
can distract you
I hope my fists
can fight for two
So it never has to show
And you’ll never know

I hope my love
can blind you
I hope my arms
can bind you
So you’ll never have to see
What we’ve grown to be

One may think
we’re alright
But we need pills
to sleep at night
We need lies
to make it through the day
We’re not ok

One may think
we’re doing fine
But if I had to lay it on the line
We’re losing ground
with every passing day
We’re not ok

But that’s one thing
I would never
One thing I would never
That’s one thing
I would never say to you

And in the night I could be helpless
I could be lonely sleeping without you

And in the day everything's complex
There's nothing simple when I'm not around you

稻香

the clocks turned back an hour an hour ago
our minds turn back minutes, days, months and years every second

就像我说的
追不到的梦想 换个梦不就得了

It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

I don't mind, if you don't mind
I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

heartbreak kid

i forgot to put in down in writing:

(at the San Antonio Intl' Airport bathroom)

"excuse me,"

"yes sir."

"are u shawn michaels?"

"yes i am."

"can i take a picture with you?"

(pointing out) "Outside the bathroom."

i met shawn michaels, SHAWN MICHAELS,
shawn michaels the showstopper, the heartbreak kid, shawn michaels with the elbow drop, Shawn Michaels with the sweet chin music, shawn FUCKING michaels.

cool stuff.

it's my day

here and here

Superstitions aren't meant for lovers
Under covers, undiscovered is your skin
I am lonely, please let me in
You're probably wondering what I was proving
Are you choosing?
Am I losing you tonight?
Is it over, over?

Are we fading?

I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don't seem to matter
My words don't seem to matter
And you look at me and I can see
The lies you're running too
But my words don't seem to matter
I'd rather have you tested and true

secondhand serenade

because i'm not original


because tonight will be the night that i will fall for you
over again
don't make me change my mind

Cidade de Deus

politics aside, business

Professor Babin was talking about the significance of speeches and the power of positioning: Did you notice how the Republicans have been trumpeting Palin as the instrument of change? Well politics aside, whether that's true if it's a wise move yadda yadda blah blah, it does put an entirely different slant to things. And i didn't realise it one bit.
With Palin and Obama doing all the talking, Biden is conveniently taken out of the picture, and McCain is pushed up, untouchable even. So we have the Democrat Presidential candidate doing the slinging with the Republican VP candidate. Now that's a superb tactic to put your competition into a hole and keep them inside, while elevating your product in the consumer's mind.

Business aside, I really hope Obama and Biden gets elected.

now and then we get to believe in something old yet new

goodnight

Road Trip and meeting Chris Martin

The trip to niagara falls took 7 hours, and Eric and I took turns to drive.
I was driving at 6 am in the morning, dozing off, and I swerved off the road, to my horror. I snapped out of it in time to steer back, to my relief.
I think I appreciate my father much more now, him toiling in his cab for the past 20 years, almost every day for a good 10 12 hours.
The drive back to Philly was a good reminder of how tiring driving can be.

So Jens and I took a bus to NY to catch Coldplay for their MSG show. And on the bus, i thought this bugger that looked really like Chris Martin.
But we didn't do shit. In fact we were distracted by a lively argument/ conversation between a hispanic/african-american woman and a white man.

On further inspection at the concert posters, and seeing Coldplay at Madison Square Garden, we think that was really Chris Martin, in the same bus as us from Philly to New York. What are the odds! Dang, we should have just taken a picture with him at least.

He's a good 90 percent lookalike, at the very least.

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

what if we stop having a ball

i went to catch ingrid michaelson kick off her tour last sunday at TLA at south street, and she was really good, quirky and nice.

she did this song, this really affecting love song.

What if we stop having a ball?
What if the paint chips from the wall?
What if there's always cups in the sink?
What if I'm not what you think I am?

What if I fall further than you?
What if you dream of somebody new?
What if I never let you win, chase you with a rolling pin?
Well what if I do?

I am giving up on making passes and
I am giving up on half empty glasses and
I am giving up on greener grasses.
I am giving up.

What if our baby comes home after nine?
What it your eyes close before mine?
What if you lose yourself sometimes? Then I'll be the one to find you
Safe in my heart.

I am giving up on making passes and
I am giving up on half empty glasses and
I am giving up on greener grasses.
I am giving up.

I am giving up.
I am giving up.
I am giving up on greener grasses.

I am giving up for you.
I am giving up for you.
I am giving up.

Everything you do in life, every choice you make, has a consequence. When you do things without thinkin', then you ain't makin' the choice. The choice is makin' you.

i try to picture a girl
through a looking glass
see her as a carbon atom
see her eyes and stare back at them
see that girl
as her own new world
though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe

a kind much closer than friends use
but i still can’t say it after all we’ve been through
