Songs

Hey there Delilah by the Plain White T's.

Have you heard the song? I'm very fond of it, but it makes me kind of sad everytime I hear it because it's so full of hope, of the hope-with-abandon kind, which is the worst because it then becomes unbearably crushing if things don't actually work out. And the naivety in presuming that one person could manage everything that could pull a relationship through, without quite considering that just maybe, the other person doesn't feel the same way? Poor fella.


Everything by Michael Buble, now that somehow always makes me smile. Don't know how he's like in real life but lucky you, Emily Blunt! What a lovely, balanced, song of a relationship. How does one not marry a man that writes a song like that?

Mobile phone paralysis

It's like it got the stroke or something.

The Right and Left cursors work, but the Up and Down ones don't.

The green Pick-up Call button works, but the red End-Call one doesn't.

The left sidekey skips 3 lines when it scrolls, but the right one for the camera works fine.

I adapt and learn new tricks. Scroll sideways 5 times when you want to scroll once up. Text "not" instead of "no" because the predictive text switch doesn't switch.

I'm wondering if this unpleasantry is going to last.

I could, but I don't want to get used to working around things that don't work.

I'm thinking, maybe it's time for a change.

1st post for September

For lack of a better title. Almost every blog I've visited have an entry on random thoughts - I guess this is mine.

It's a mellow Sunday on a 3-day weekend. There really isn't a better word to describe an evening after an afternoon rain, golden sunlight on red rooftiles and the soundtrack of Elizabethtown on the player. Mellow is a word I haven't used a lot of in long time, I am reminded of it from JL's blog where it appears frequently - hope you had a good time in Bali, kid!

"Look closely at the beginning of the heart line. If there are small hairlike influence lines dropping away from the line or passing through it, the owner will be a restless type, constantly looking for something new to stimulate mind and body. It is not unknown for people of this sort to vary a routine journey just for the sake of change".

I have been harsh in my previous entry. Sometimes it isn't ego. It can be truly hard to be happy. You just have no idea how to at times. The negative half of things is real, justifiable and stares you in the face. You will have to consciously look the other way. That's tough.

"..that naive coarseness that women often prefer to the affectations of politeness, because it reveals the depths of thought and proves that feeling has won out over reason".

"Women was created for our ruin, and it is from her that all our miseries come".

:). The above two quotes from The Three Musketeers. I'm barely a third through, but at this point I think I'd like to date Athos.

How do I say this? When there are a million thoughts milling around your system, and sometimes you chance upon one which correctly explains so many others headed in the wrong direction, the relief makes you want to cry.
