Just human (but always guessing - see photo.Hmm.)
I know, I know Jack Johnson again, but I'm stressed to death and am of a lyrical inclination of late. I find he chills me, so here's an interesting quote from the begining of a song of his- I like it, maybe you will too:
"I heard this old story before, where the people'd keep calling for the metaphors,
but don't leave much up to the imagination,
so I wanna give this imagery back but no it ain't so easy like that so,
I turn the page, read the story again, and again, and again...
Sure seems the same, with a different name,
We're breaking and rebuilding and we're growing always guessing,
Never knowing,
we're shocking but we're nothing,
we're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless,
we're just human, amusing and confusing.
We're trying, but where is this all leading?
We'll never know,
We'll never know."
It goes on like that. Gets better too but I'm exhausted so peace out my brethren. another day beckons me to bedfordshire.

Hi Merlin,
Thank you for visiting my blog. Please come back again.
Very interesting, philosophical song; yes, we never know anything; and perhaps, we will never know anything.
That poem of Kipling is also really good; this world was going to be an utopia if everyone of us followed that poem.
Why are you an angry bad and angry sad man? Are you sad and angry because of the way the world is going?
I read many of your posts; many of them are really really deep and thought-provoking. Very Nice.
However, I don't like that post or line where you mentioned that girls fall only for money. Do you really think that seriously? :(:(
Oh - I should really delete that valentine post- I'd forgotten about it. It's not nice but I was kinda pissed off at the time. being a student and all.
I'm angry at being less than I want to be, and at never being able to be that. I suppose I am pist at this dumb world and being a slave to its' rules and chains. Don't know really.
Please don't delete anything because of whatever comments I made; our mind and brain goes through various roads and processes; whatever we write down is the reflection of our mind and thought at that particular moment. So,it would be one day amusing or insightful for you to re-read that post.
What rules of this world you don't like? Why do you think it has chained you?
Come on! student life is the best time in your life; i was a student even some months back; I am now missing it. Are you college or uni student? What are you studying?
I just thought of warn you - don't get into business of compiling Music CD. All music CD's/music are copyrighted - it is an extremely sever international offence nowadays to violate any copyright
:(. Hope you don't mind my saying this.
I am from Calcutta. Wow! how did you like your travel? Honest opinion please. Most travellers get amazed on visiting India :). Why?
Really nice to know about your studies; just work hard and do your best (without drinking and taking all those medicines :-) ), and you will be fine. If you know that you have done your best for your exams, you will not feel nervous and will do better in exams.
Hmm....it's always green at the other side, right :)....but instead of getting mad at all these rules, why not take them in stride that because of all these rules, our world - with all its varities and vagaries and whims and rules - is such a beautiful place to live.
Some people try to make it ugly through killing, murders, wars, but if we all become angry then those people who are trying to make this beautiful place ugly will win; and we can't allow that to happen. So, we all have to be always strong and happy to defeat those people.
Well, at least that is my attitude and viewpoint.
I shall let you know within a day or two how to put songs in your blog. But, again remember, you should not put more than 2/3 songs at a time - because any sort of copying (which you will be doing t put song in your blog) - is illegal. You can of course paste the lyrics of songs and a picture (the way I am doing with my photo blog) and that's fine.
Have a nice day.
