THE WEEK THAT WAS............

In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.

* What a song!!!!! *

Bitter Sweet Symphony- The Verve

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here with my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

(Well have you ever been down?)
(I can't change, I can't change...)
(Ooooohhhhh...)

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no

(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(Been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)(Lalalalalalaaaaaaaa...)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)

Been listening to Linkin Park, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Metallica, Creed and Nickelback all of last week

I have to end off with a cheesy line so here goes……….

In the End, apart from the tingling in the ears I am quite Numb to everything and Nothing else matters. :)

Does lowering your expectation about something/somebody make you hurt any lesser when it doesn’t happen?

I don’t know…………..it seems like no matter what the expectation, the intensity of hurting is just the same…………..

Traveling by buses everyday is a new experience. The streaming multitude of unknown hoi polloi and the comfort of being unrecognized and nameless among them is such a freedom.

Sure you get pawed and pushed sometimes, but I don’t think such a potpourri of life can be seen and experienced in any other way.

Walked in the rain- exhilarating!!

*The fever and cold that follow don’t make any sense though*

A close friend said this about my father last year

Of manners gentle,
Of affections mild,
In wit, a Man
In simplicity, a child.

I would like to add on that he was and always will be all this and much more.

Miss you pops, and I love you even more.
