"A different side of me"

Why the world spins the way it is now not the other?

Why people have a certain type of person they like and want to be with, when we are all made equal?

Why people use orange color to represent a stimulant?

Why people have to have a sterotyped picked out by other people, when that is never who they really are?

Why old people think teenagers are threats to society when society will soon be ours?

Why parents tell us that seating to close to the TV will ruin our eyes, when really we are seating that close to try and listen?

Why some people do or watch porn just to feel some kind of intimacy? (hmm...)

Why on children's TV there are hardly ever any children, when it is call kids TV?

Why daydreaming seems weird but dreaming while sleeping isn't?

Why foreign films are made more beautifully than hollywood films?

Why people ask for a reason why you love them, talk to them, hug them, care, and enjoy them?

Why you think you have some kind of intimacy with someone who shares common interests?

But, most of all

Have you ever wondered why there is always that one person that you fall in love with and know it is a forever love?

hmm...

Suffering from malnutrition has brought my weight down to 64 kg. It was a very hard work for one semester to gain weight to 67 kg and It took me only 2/3 weeks to bring it down again. Digesting only Up & Go for every breakfast, which is liquid breakfast (fibre of 2 Weet-Bix & Milk), apparently doesn't ease the roaring sound of hungry stomach. Plus, I'm hypothermic (not really).. I mean the weather is getting colder, 12 degrees ladies and gentlemen. Clogged nose makes my voice sound like stabbed-in-the-throat Donald Duck. Falling off the door frame gave me broken thumb and it has restricted me to climbing.

Sounds very depressing and dramatic hey? but that's not all..here it comes again, my mourning!

Time passed in cocophonous fury, and none is nearly done. I'm screwed. There's nothing else to i can do except face the reality, do the actual work, reduce my hours of repose, and get the fuck off the internet. This weather makes me not want to get up. damn winter!

But i'm still in the good shape. Lucky, coffee is keeping me alive. I can't imagine how life would be sans coffee. I've doing a lot of DVD watching. I finished the first season of Grey's Anatomy, and I don't know how long I have to wait for the second season to be released. I watched Melinda Melinda, the only Woody Allen movie I've ever seen. I might go for his other movies to actually see how good he is. I also watched Anchorman, very funny and also stupid. But, I always like Will Ferrell, he's entertaining. I might start on the first session Nip/Tuck which is supposed to be good. I kind of started on the first episode, I didn't really like it. I may give it another shot.

If I had to live the day with only 5 songs, I'd choose these :
1) Unravel - Bjork
2) Gong - Sigur Ros
3) What's In Store? - Architecture In Helsinki (Barely happens to me to be loving the last song of a CD)
4) Looks Just Like The Sun - Broken Social Scene
4.1) Green Grass Tunnel - Mum
4.2) Angeles - yes, the man named Elliott Smith
4.3) Photobooth - Death Cab For Cutie
4.4) So Begins Our Alabee - Of Montreal
4.5) Cosy In The Rocket - Psapp
4.6) Marching Bands of Manhattan - Death Cab For Cutie
4.7) Rose Parade - Elliott Smith, yess that man again
4.8) The Way We Get By - Spoon
4.9) Raw Sugar - Metric
4.10) Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap
....
I don't want this list to end at 5 because it'd never end. They have all been in my playlist for weeks...I have to kill them and replace with new ones, suggestion?

Love to all!

Namaste!

Last night my friend, Sashia, and I were trying to figure out how to play scissors paper rock on msn. c'est difficile. It started off when we came up with an exact statement at the same time. It's just a matter of who copied whom, and we couldn't tell. Actually i could, because on my window , my typing appeared first, but she said the same thing, hmm...msn is weird. Anyway, each one was trying to defend themselves. What significant is that this was like the third time happened to our conversation for the past few days, and we always argued about who said first. So She came up with a briliant idea and we decided to play scissors-paper-rock game to determine the winner. It took a hell long time to set the rules (wtf?! who needs rules anyway!). We tried all ways to work it out, such as voice clip. Each one was trying to play it fair and cheat simultaneously, and we dwelt on the game and forgot the purpose of the game. Ultimately, I won the game and she admitted she lost and that she has copied my sentence. Actually, I wouldn't care if I lost, it wasn't a big deal. But I was happier that i won, because she was being mean for laughing at my decent hobby, Rock-climbing :P !! It was fun though! What a way to procrastinate!!!

This post is not so important, I'm just fleeing the work I should be doing. Oh..and I have just removed one movie off my list and am adding another movie to the list , The Piano. I watched The Big Lebowski just before writting this. It's about a time wasting slacker who just wants his rug back but eventually involves in the abduction business. It's really funny, and stupid. I liked it!

I stumbled across these and couldn't resist sharing. So to occupy your boredom, here is the list of internet randomness:
We Like The MOON
Life In Italy


Music :
> Architecture In Helsinki
> Stars
> Metric
> Okkervile River
> Broken Social Scene
> Death Cab For Cutie

Major Events:
May 31st: Poster
June 2nd : Thesis and Technical Paper
June 10th: My first and only final exam for this semester.
July 15th: Mates of State Concert.

Dinner and Coffee time!

Hugs to all!

I indulged myself to idle daydreams today. Procrastination has been a new trend and somehow I'm always keen to do things other than work. Within 3 hours, I've only been writting 4 pages which is not very efficient. It's almost 6 p.m. and it's when a decision must be made, whether I should go climbing or stay and do work. Either way I'll regret for the thing I won't do. ah hell!!

I'm starting to see phychedelic image composed of dots of pixel when i close my eyes as a result of staring at the computer screen for a really long time. This must not be good! Feck! I think I need to take a break. I'm going to watch "Drive Well, Sleep Carefully" by Death Cab For Cutie.

Music:
-Sigur Ros
-Mum
-Boards of Canada
-Amina
-Bjork
These all are for tooth fairy lovers who'd love to have coffee in bed. Perfect for resting and daydreaming.(all of them are Icelandic except Boards of Canada)

This site shows the performance of Amina on Icelandic TV (not recommended to those who're going to Sigur Ros concert, it'll ruin the enchantment of the show, because the show is magical!!). Amina is a 4-piece experimental band from Iceland, and known as Sigur Ros long time collabolators. Click here -> Amina

This post is just a product of procrastination that's ridiculously annoying to which I must put an epilogue.

Takk..

Oh Pink's the one I love to place
when I'm alone way up in space
on some exposed and airy face.

They sink where other gear won't go.
When all you've got is manky pro,
This tricam saves your butt from woe.

But it's often hard to get them out;
They make your second moan and shout
And wave his nut tool 'round about

But that's why you're the one on lead
Your problems are a different breed
As long as someone does the deed...

"Oh quit your whimpering," you rumble,
"And get it out or there'll be trouble"
"Get to work now, on the double!"

Although it sometimes takes a while,
They do come out with vim and guile,
(or chiselling and curses vile.)

Pink will do what all the rest.
Won't do when they're put to the test.
Oh pink tricams are just the best!

-- Charles "Pinky" Danforth

Climb hard!! weeee.....

Why lemonade?

because the weather has been disgusting. It's getting hotter as the time goes by. It's also dry and stormy, and I hate it so much. So lemonade would be the best thirst reliever in this weather.

Or because lemonade is correlated to the yellow color and I always think yellow represents mellowness . I don't know why. Maybe because it rhymes with mellow or maybe that's the natural characteristic that the color inherited.

My heart has been numb thesedays. I can't feel a thing inside. And sometimes my anger is flared by unimportant issues. Everything seems to stress me out in any way. To what extend can I handlle this situation? God knows, I don't!
At the momentI enjoy hanging out with my current friends, but I don't think it's what I'm wanting. I need more beyond the fun.

I feel like I'm in need of someone who can bring the mellowness, chill the anger and satisfy my thirst of "touch" (not literally!!!).
Yes.. I need a Lemonade..
