As mentioned over at the onlycoolppl blog, I had a few issues with blogging my last post. I was able to reconstruct most of my blog, however it was not exactly the same and this troubled me. You see, to me, I feel my blog is like an electronic scrapbook which recounts what I have done and examines how I have felt about what I have done, with all information correct at the time of printing. Each blog says quite a bit about my state of mind and not being able to commit my NYE blog precisely to the archive that is my blog worried me somewhat. Not majorly or anything. I just thought it could make another good blogging topic... :) Here is at least one thing that I forgot to mention my last blog (I think there are more, but I've forgotten what I have forgotten. Hmmmm...): On NYE, I played several songs from the soundtrack to Dawson's Creek Volume 1 (I have the sheet music) while Erica sang along. I had not touched this music in months, yet I think a few "brewskis*" in me meant that I was more relaxed and did not care so much about hitting the correct note, but concentrated more on playing the song right through. This, like thinking/being able to speak Chinese (Sat May 24 2003) and/or German (Thu Dec 18 2003) better is quite interesting, no? In going through my blog to find the above two posts (which I knew were there somewhere!), I was at the same time going through music that I know I was listening to at that time. One of them was John Mayer's Love Song For No One. I don't know how/why I happened upon John Mayer and this track - I don't have any of his CDs or anything - yet I think his music and indeed this song in particular is beautiful. Especially because what he sang about happened and that I found my Sim. Staying home alone on a Friday Flat on the floor looking back On old love, or lack thereof After all the crushes are faded And all my wishful thinking was wrong I’m jaded, I hate it CHORUS I’m tired of being alone So hurry up and get here So tired of being alone So hurry up and get here Searching all my days just to find you I’m not sure who I’m looking for I’ll know it when I see you Until then, I’ll hide in my bedroom Staying up all night just to write A love song for no one CHORUS BRIDGE I could have met you in a sandbox I could have passed you on the sidewalk Could I have missed my chance And watched you walk away? REPEAT BRIDGE CHORUS You’ll be so good You’ll be so good for me And the lyrics can now read: You ARE so good You ARE so good for me Thanks to Hooch over at Onlycoolppl who gets much priase for her use of "oh six" (and not "two-thousand-and-six"). I did not realise that Channel Ten, too, were using the "oh six" format in their summer advertisements. They even have it written on screen as "oh six". I remember that as we entered twenty oh three, I was encouraging all you out there to call it "oh three". Read on... (Tue Dec 31 2002) Erica has created an hilarious post over at her blog, in regards to things she has never done and not having an oh six Resolution This is what I say to ye: "Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink, and swore his last oath. To-day, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient short comings considerably shorter than ever. We shall also reflect pleasantly upon how we did the same old thing last year about this time. However, go in, community. New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls, and humbug resolutions, and we wish you to enjoy it with a looseness suited to the greatness of the occasion."[reprinted in The Works of Mark Twain; Early Tales & Sketches, Vol. 1 1851-1864, (Univ. of California Press, 1979), p. 180.] Four days after I made my last post, my brother and his girlfriend acquired a friend for Jaffa. He is a Maltese cross Bichon and they named him Gus. I tried uploading a photo of them, but blogger would not cooperate. I will try another time.... * - Does the term "brewsky" (pl. brewskis) apply only to beer, or can it also be applied to alcohol in general? Discuss. | ||
