The Bad Times

Just when everything seemed to fall into place and the world seemed to be a happy place, you get a slight hint in your mind that the day is gonna suck to the bottom. You have no reason as to why but it will. A sudden rush of thoughts starts flowing into you. It reminds you of where you are, where you wanted to be, when it should have happened, how all your plans went down the drain, how much instances and opportunities you have wasted, how all your talents inside you are slowly degrading, how vulnerable you are to thoughts that should'nt even exist in you, a sudden fear and for no particular reason, jealousy, lust, insecure, all in the blink of an eye. One second you were a happy go lucky and the very next second you nearly tremble in fear to death. Your eyes seem to be hollow, lost thoughts and to top it off, it is affecting your work. The day just keeps getting worse and worse and you can do nothing but succumb to the day as it goes just hoping that the next one might be better. It just happened today... Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow...Okie... See you wen I get back with my " Songs that make me cry to happiness" post..

Songs That Make Me Cry To Happiness

Alrighty. I am not an expert in music. But at the moment, it is everything to me. So much that I get annoyed with crap that calls itself music and to make things worse, top the charts. The list is very predictable, as I said, not an expert but at this very moment these songs popped out my skull saying “Me..Me…Me…”. I would love to break down these songs and review them technically but fortunately I do not know how. Which is good for you, cause if I did, then you’d skip it of. Instead I will tell you what it feels like to me when I hear them. 99.999 percent of the time I hear these songs in pitch black except for the LED of my sub woofer giving an evil glare. Anyways, what would I do without it.

The order does not imply a countdown. Just jotted them as it popped out.I suggest you give these songs a try at least 5 times each. If it still doesn't squeeze your soul, then ummm, forget it.
Okie….. Here goes….

Road Trippin’ - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Road Trippin representing Red Hot Chilli Peppers is like any other RHCP song. Amazing song writing, beautifully constructed bass lines and nice melody to hear when you feel all stressed out and completely torn physically. The song takes you through freshness as one can see the lyrics
“Blue you sit so pretty, West of the one
Sparkle light with yellow icing, Just a mirror for the sun”

Pearl Jam - Low Light
Low Light is an amaaazing song. My ex-boss’s favourite. Now my favourite also. Can you imagine a song which takes you through a place where the sun is covered by the clouds and the light is so dilute that you don’t have enough of it to see but want it that way. Imagine no more, hear the song and visualize the dimmer side of your dream land. A land which if filled with light would not be the place you wanted. But I have derived an inner meaning for the song if that’s what Pearl Jam really meant.

Radiohead – How to disappear Completely
How to disappear completely takes you off this world for real. All you have to is set the right temperature in your room, switch of your fan, pin drop silence, pitch dark, and the play the song with your woofer on. I needn’t say more. The song has music that can bring space around you (the one with planets, stars etc , etc.). Heard of the word mind blowing? This song is.

Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb
I haven’t tried this yet, but thanks to Pink Floyd I already have a clear view of how it would be to inject myself with drugs. I almost cry when the song is over. Comfortably Numb is the song for those who have just recognized the realities of life and are feeling not so well about it. The whole rock opera album is about a boy who is frustrated with the world and decides to build a wall around himself and stay away from the brutalities of life which includes anything there is except himself. A must hear.
See you with the rest in my next post. Great Day…

The Dark Ages

"People who learn to accept the gross realities of life are the winners." You don't have to be psychic to say this. Just 24 years of gruesome, tantalizing, gross, dirty experience would do good.You felt yourself growing heavier and heavier everyday until one day you cannot stand up and that day the world will declare you infertile. You will be deprived of your talents, your feelings and everything you ever wanted to have in life. All this because you couldn't understand the basic cunningness required in man and that cunningness is no longer mean but will be praised and recognized by others. You feel heavier and heavier and after the threshold, life is so unbearable and you suddenly become so empty and pretend to be numb to whatever is happening around you when all you can do is cry in loud that you've seen it before and miserably failed to overcome it and the next time you see it you can only see how you failed. Failure, misery and the outcast feeling everywhere is just because you wouldn't accept the normal routine and wanted to be different but didn't know how. Only two kinds of people are around you - The ones who see nothing in you and are damn sure you are one of the biggest failures in God and The ones who see everything in you and what you are capable of and are so jealous that they betray you because they know you wouldn't do anything about that. The point has come where you no longer want people to accept you and yourself and you don't give a shit about anything or anyone. When all this happens you still recognize the truth. That these are the dark ages of your life and only in darkness can you see even the faintest light from the faintest source. All I am trying to do is to catch the light and follow it to destiny before the darkness disappears.

Cold Souls

"The soul has its principal seat in the small gland located in the middle of the brain".
Rene Descartes - The passions of the soul, 1649
Oh...The movie I just saw started of like this. "Cold Souls". Yes, was different. Let me put it this way - you ever imagined that you could extract the soul from your body and that soul would come out as an object of a particular shape, texture and colour like any other organ and you could actually store it!!! Well someone did some real thinking. The genre was comedy even though it was limited to some scenes, other plaes in which I saw some truth. The movie kept stressing how empty a man would feel inside without the soul. Oh, and by the way, yes, this is just my review of the movie. The director also managed to bring in the concept of soul trafficking just like any other substance. The movie was slow, but worth a watch. Giamatti was good, too good. Managed to get these from imdb.
