When It Rains, Will You Always Find An Escape Just Running Away - Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 8:15 AM

And when it rains
Will you always find an escape
Just running away
(Or) Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay

(Just a) scared little [runaway],
[Holding] fast to the break of day.
(You are) screaming inside,
but you can't be heard

You got to get yourself together
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

All of the wasted time,
The hours that were left behind
The answers that'll [you'll] never find
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape

The falling sky and the rain?
I want to know that [your] heart's still beating
I want to write [your] name in the sky
Gonna free fall out into nothin'
[You're] awakening

Ok, i admit, i thought i had a flash of brilliance and decided to do a mash up of lyrics from the songs in my (currently) short playlist of 12 songs, and write out a poem (of sorts). Epic fail. I probably look like one of them amatuer photographers, armed with a DSLR and a flurry of different lenses, trying to make an empty coke can on the side of the road look as deep as a Rembrandt. To my defense, i had only 12 songs to choose from.

I shall try to master this in time to come 'cos i still think it's an excellent idea. Maybe i need to be a 'mo cos it seems to be the mojo factor in good poets these days. Just no slashing of wrists for me, please.

We're All Right Where We're Supposed To Be - Sunday, February 01, 2009 at 10:13 AM

As I've repeated so many times, the internet is a smorgasboard of all sorts of information, this always being more of an understatement than an overstatement. And like any weapon that can be used to kill the enemy, the guns can be easily turned on you, so to speak.

Apparently, this obscure blog can be found with google, which can never be good especially since i'm gonna start on a job hunt. Rewind this to roughly 4 years ago, with the whole sheares hall debaucle. Of 'cos, i've got to add that the whole matter is just childishness on the committee's part and cheekiness on mine (i've got to take my own side, no?), but that aside, it's kindof scary how this blog got dug up just like that. Technology is really a double edged sword.

Hence, i've taken precautionary measures to ensure that history doesn't repeat itself by censoring my own entries. Turns out, quite a good number of them looked potentially damaging and wound up on my chopping board. Not chopped off entirely, but safe in storage. Most of them came from the army era, me being the atypical NSF, just full of complaints. Others, well, let's just say i'm not taking any chances especially in our wounded economic situation that gaurantees no jobs.

There's a fine line between fighting for your freedom rights, and plain stupidity. Especially politically charged blogs. I'm not gonna start on blog entries on racial and religion issues 'cos that's just asking to be thrown in the slammer, on top of being rude. For the slew of local blogs slamming the local government, all i can say is, just don't leave your namecard behind. You never know who's reading (*takes a peek behind shoulder)
