Nappy New Year! Zzzzz...

Zzzzz... That's what happens when you have to work the morning of New Year's Day... yup... it was sooo exciting... (sarcasm)

So... new year... new goals, yadda yadda yadda. Well, actually, I AM looking forward to this year. 2006 was pretty lousy... so since I've come to accept that the Sine graph pretty much gives an idea of how life feels like, I would like to believe that things should be on the up. As of right now, things are on the up. I just need to... focus my mind better and avoid thinking about things that do me no good. It's funny that even if you've been told a million times by your friends, you end up hearing it one last time by someone else and for some reason, it sticks to your head more. Can't really understand why that is for my psyche, but it is. Regardless, here's to finally getting over this stupid mess.

A new year, new work, new hope. To kick off the year (and to keep the YouTube linkage going =P), here's a vid of an oldie. It's classic and it's what hip hop should be in my not-so-humble-lawnchair-commentating opinion =P.

Mad World

On quiet night shifts I'm always in search of ways of staying awake and my mind starts wandering a lot. I end up thinking about things, sometimes things I shouldn't think about anymore... but that's what happens when one is idle. While I could be doing other things, the mental desire just isn't there when you're struggling with fatigue.

Anyways, time for another YouTube post. My world is kind of turning mad. Most of you have probably heard this version of the song by Gary Jules that's in the Gears of War video game commercial on TV. While I personally liked the Tears for Fears version better, I'm in the mood for depression. The tone of this cover just fits how I feel lately. The video is pretty cool too. So here it is.

Savin' Me

The season just finished its first half, but I find myself asking some of those questions in this promo... and the lyrics of this song seems to be speaking what I've been feeling.

Yup, I've just lost 2 months of progress... and for what?

Can I make the same choice Adama makes at the end? Doubt it.

Hurry... I'm falling...

Say it if it's worth savin' me...

Meee-yoooo-siiiick

Well, I AM sick at home, but the title was just a silly way of saying 'Music' if you didn't get that... anyways... felt like posting a vid of one of my fav 80s songs. It's the live version since the actual MTV was too 80s cheesy =P. I'm definitely going to try to hunt down the piano scoresheet for this one. Might need it one day... =P



EDIT: The original video got removed... so here's another live performance vid. I wish they had this in karaoke...

If I Lay Here...

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
I've said too much
But not enough

If I lay here,
If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me,
And just forget the world?

...

All that I am
All that I ever was
It's here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never
Change for us at all

If I lay here,
If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me,
And just forget the world?
