Flight of the Conchords - I'm Not Crying

What an epic fail way to convince someone you're not sad lol. This is hilarious. :x

Thoughts from The Sound of Muzak and others

The music of the future
Will not entertain
It's only meant to repress
And neutralise your brain

It is true that music has degraded to a point where there are repetitive lyrics, for example an entire song and just be on one word like Umbrella. :\ It sounds almost trance like when I hear a friend sing that "Please don't stop the music...music" song =.= So this song by Porcupine Tree - The Sound of Muzak - is made up of a single constant riff at the beginning to express that repetitive trance-likeness of the music of today. Its the age of pop. Music doesn't satisfy like the oldies. Wonder why people will forever love oldies but forget the lyrics to that pop song or rap song they were so into about a month ago?

Now the sound of music
Comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you
Building cheaper thrills

Almost like a drug music of today is slowly ruining the minds of people and its cheap music because you can't see much effort or time spent put into make that music. What do people go for now? Do people go for band concerts because the music is good? Or is it because the frontman is cute? (Generally for girls [I'm sorry for the stereotype but its not my fault you just fit it perfectly] and some guys) I wouldn't say that rock, or metal or progressive music that I listen to is the BEST kind of music but hey, from the music I get hardwork, passion and a good taste in sound. As of today I only know ONE, girl who enjoys my kind of music. (And yea Ok I don't know that many but still.)

Oh yea one more thing. (Lawl Uncle moment from Jackie Chan Adventures)
Equal rights between male and female? Go grow a dick. Geez. Yes I have to put it that crudely.
On one end you hear equal rights for women. On the other, men must do this this this and this because you are men. Men are supposed to protect women in every sense of the word (Paula quote on the spot) =.= I am tired, are women so entirely helpless that they need protecting? I think not. But, no go on and pretend to be completely useless beings that you are. Men and women are essentially different alright. It makes sense I guess that men do more (not all) manual labor because our musculature is greater than a woman's. Ah whatever la. I guess males are not perfect either, we do have our own shortcomings. But as I see it, still better than women. HA HA HA.

In other news. 19th October 2008. Dry Lake was formed.

And so, it has begun. *Inject epic-moment-feeling-inducing drug*

Batter My Heart

Batter my heart, three-personed God; for you
As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend.
That I may rise and stand, o'erthrow me and bend
Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
I, like an usurped town, to another due,
Labor to admit you, but, oh, to no end;
Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,
But is captived and proves weak or untrue.

Yet dearly I love you and would be loved fain,
But am betrothed unto your enemy:
Divorce me, untie or break that knot again,
Take me to you, imprison me, for I,
Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,
Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.

by John Donne [1573-1631]

Is it me or am I very lucky?

Yet again another round of exams which I managed to scrape through. I got about 39 for Promos alone. It will fly when I get my total points. Is it because I keep worrying over the exam results so much that when I actually get them I feel so relieved because I passed. :\
Not the first time this happened =.= Olvls for Lit oso. Panic panic then... A1
Doh.. wtf lah. Must work harder!
Lit overall grade is a C.. Not extremely happy because I got it from cheap CA marks. Still got an E for Promos. Bleah.
Anyhow, life is moving on... Soon all the commitments and promises I made for the band and training and exericise (YES Laugh whatever.) will come and haunt me. Noooo...
Japan trip is gonna be bursting. Most probably spend all my money on food and a few clothes..
like 99% Food... Yea!
Ms Yeo is gonna buy me sake! Meh, I doubt it though. And no I am not motivated by Sake or any alcohol.
Hm, two totally different genres... Progressive Rock/Metal and JRock. Wtf am I doing man its quite laughable lol... Oh YEA Disguisement <<< I so created this word. =x
Ninja Gaiden 2. Just desiring On the SPOT
Kelgene is back YAY!
Quite glad people promoted. Although Derek might have some trouble... and Munees also.

23rd! There's Hope! Onward!

I'll end off with... Guitar Ensemble just can't make it. Teaching the same old things will never get you anywhere. Who cares if you can play Old Swansea Town perfectly. Or even if you can play one of any songs from any of your favourite bands. You make your own music and thats getting somewhere. The way I see it, its just too rigid, just like the bloody education system.
Let go of these boundaries, they only hold you back...

Pure Narcotic

You keep me waiting
You keep me alone in a room full of friends
You keep me hating
You keep me listening to the Bends

No amount of pointless days
Can make this go away

You have me on my knees
You have me listless and deranged
You have me in your pocket
You have me distant and estranged

No narcotics in my brain
Can make this go away

I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you
I worry that I don't act the way you'd like me to

You find me wanting
You find me bloodless but inspired
You find me out
You find me hallucinating fire

No narcotics in my brain
Can make this go away

Have we ever been here before?
Running headlong at the floor
Leave me dreaming on a railway track
Wrap me up and send me back
