Somewhere only we know

"A brief candle; both ends burning
An endless mile; a bus wheel turning
A friend to share the lonesome times
A handshake and a sip of wine
So say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything
The future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird
You're free at last."

...isnt this is a beautiful poem..and the thing i find sad about is, the writer (charlie daniels) wrote it on his way to his friend's funeral..
The past few days have been surreal - wonky, as ribenaberry wld say (and she'd know what i'm referring to)...I think its one of the best words ever invented..up there in the lofty league of worthy creations such as goondot and koala-kanga of course..its all encompassing and it just means everything u want ti to mean at that point. What more can one expect of a single word! Well anyways..yea..wonkiness..i wonder if its just yet another thing im going to have to get used to..maybe that's best..when u cant beat em join em, probably just means "Tuff!get used to it!"
What ds one do when one wants to say so much and yet one cant find the words for it..when words just aren't enuff..when there's so much to go into that perhaps its better to linger at the doorway, rather than enter the alleys of somewhere beyond. U know when sometimes..certain memories are sooo vivid, and ur cant decide if it all happened ages ago, or just yesterday and yet an eternity would have passed in the time btween...and you know how sometimes you can miss people who are right here right now...and that's when they feel so near yet so far away...the silver lining is, it helps u put physical distance in perspective...
so much for optimism huh..

I came across this quote :
"Just because everything is different doesn't mean that everything has changed"
Isnt it interesting?I mean just think abt this one..think there;s more to it than meets the eye? maybe.

Think of me,Think of me fondly,
When we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while
Please promise me you'll try.

I think it's the incredible restlessness and listlessness that's taken over me..its overflowing into everything else..its amazing how emptiness within can overflow into everything else around and in how that same emptiness can consume all within and without. How can your heart feel empty, and yet heavy..and how can you feel such overwhelming genuine joy and happiness one second, and yet depression like a dark cloud hanging over you the next - and stranger still, both inspired by the same thoughts?? Life is so weird...Life...just...is.

When you find that, once again,
You long to take your heartBack and be free -
If you ever find a moment,
Spare a thought for me...

Argh...
Ok I shall try to write of more pleasant things....TRY being the key word, no promises.
Ok got some nice things to say to some ppl.

And fr the record,was great seeing u in sch today too...finally eh.

Ok so what else.....

....... well.......nothing else....

Ok I'm still bored.
its back..that wretched restless, unsettled feeling

We never said our love was evergreen,
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember,Stop and think of me...
Think of all the things
We've shared and seen -Don't think about the things
Which might have been


I wanna watch Hitch..i wanna watch finding neverland..i wanna watch shall we dance and hide and seek and even phantom of the opera (yes,AGAIN! 3rd time btw!and I'm still excited abt the prospects of watching it again....siiigh)

Think of me,
Think of me waking, silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
To put you from my mind.

I need to sobre up and settle down...get down to my readings (looks at reading package for childhood & youth) especially since one of my lectures " sociology of work" is like sitting in mr bong's econs lecture in jc... in one word, its greek to me. Sitting in this module really dsnt do much fr my identity crisis, or my nerves..well u try listening to 2 hrs of this :
Free markets, capitalist economy, planned economy, durkheim, weber and Marxist theories on division of labour and wages, industrial revolution, unions, monopolies, bourgeosis and urban proletariat
YES, MY POINT EXACTLY.
I havent gone fr my medical sociology lecture yet coz I missed the 1st one and there's only been 1 lect so far....so hopefully i will know more about it soon.. but considering its medical sociology...m not expecting much..well nothing mind blowing anyway.
Childhood and youth seems pretty fun.the most promising of my..erm....grand total of all of 3 modules this sem..content wise im excited...if only my tutor dindt sound the way she ds!! She's like the female version of 'yan can cook'....actually no im exaggerating - thts way too good..imagine yan can cook, before he learned basic English grammar!!thts how my tutor sounds. A delightful combination of bad English, bad pronunciation and an American accent acquired over 8 yrs. Painful.

Anyway all u ppl out there who haven't been posting *glances at fungi* - get down to it soon!!not coz u;ll earn the wrath of yogajunkie who's obviously bored and jobless, but coz I'M BORED AND RESTLESS and I don't even amuse myself anymore..so do something abt it already!


Recall those days,
Look back on all those times,
Think of the things we'll never do -
There will never be a day,
When I won�t think of you...

Cheers folks..to all the lovely times tog...the good, the not so good, the memorable..

All to be cherished.. coz in every little way... they're all very, very special.
:)
