not the song you want to start your day to.

Your darkness grows
In feelings of loneliness
Every breath
As cold as ice
White lies are true, painted black
Searching for some light to lead you back

Like a wailing wall
Give me hope
Show some meaning

Always the sun
To strike a chord
Always the sun
To turn the world
Always - Richad Durand, Always The Sun

the one in which i return to ‘normal’.

August 22, 2010 – 2:43 am

i’d been epically depressed for a while. SD concluded it’s been the lack of food - with the chemicals messing around in my head. i kinda agree with the sentiment, except if it all boils down to chemicals, is emotion real? do we even feel?
so i trudged on, in languid symphony (i dont know what [...]

Bad romance

August 21, 2010 – 3:08 pm

as is tradition, i spent the entire weekend at sugar’s place and invariably had to take the girl’s out - because you know, girl’s just wanna have fun.
this time around there was 8 of us in all, and while snoopy works fine for a family (at least mine), it’s kinda small for a family of [...]

Life’s lesson #171

August 20, 2010 – 7:39 am

The hemlock is not edible.

“i skipped dinner and now im too hungry to sleep”
“why dont you eat something?”
“because if i eat, i wont [...]

we got out of our cars and floating across JBR walk was the sweet sweet sound of flute. despite it being an outdoor [...]
