thanks to saira
for indirectly giving me the incredible idea of typing this song out on the blog
as if i wasn’t going to get to it some day
considering my unending obsession with this song
and my repeated declarations that switchfoot is the best alternative christian rock band out there…

there’s a song that’s inside of my soul
it’s the one that i’ve tried to write over and over again
i’m awake in the infinite cold
won’t you sing to me over and over and over again
so i lay my head back down
and i lift my hands and pray to be only yours
i pray to be only yours
i know now you’re my only hope

sing to me of the song of the stars
of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
when it feels like my dreams are so far
sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again
and i lay my head back down
and i lift my hands and pray to be only yours
i pray to be only yours
i know now you’re my only hope

i give you my apathy
i’m giving you all of me
i want your symphony singing in all that i am
at the top of my life i’m giving back
and i lay my head back down
and i lift my hands and pray to be only yours
i pray to be only yours
i pray to be only yours
i know now you’re my only hope

– switchfoot

also, thanks to saira for making it clear to me that i’m a nut
or i wouldn’t have had the slightest of idea…

i got three books, very recently:
animal farm
angela’s ashes
the entire sherlock holmes compilation (facsimiles from the strand magazine) w/the original sketches from the strand magazine

animal farm (by george orwell) is an amazing book about communism/socialism, it’s great
it describes how even though all systems start out with noble and lofty ideals, whoever’s in power will start getting corrupt, and the entire population will suffer… it’s a great read… about time i read 1984 as well…
i was thinking it would make for a great disney movie … lol

angela’s ashes (by frank mccourt) is a wonderful read, incredible autobiography of frank mccourt, about his (miserable) irish (catholic) childhood … i can’t wait to get my paws on the sequel (’tis) .. the biography is given through the eyes of the child, as he grows up you grow up with him … it’s amazing, go get it now — i also want to watch the movie…

what am i supposed to say about sherlock holmes (by sir arthur conan doyle)? yes, i’ve read all the stories already, but this time round it came with the original sketches from the original strand magazine, how could i resist?
the publication has a lot of spelling errors
damn shame, but great book nonetheless
(wordsworth edition)

great reads

just a castaway
an island lost at sea
another lonely day
with no one here but me
more loneliness
than any man could bear
rescue me before i fall into despair

i’ll send an s.o.s. to the world
i’ll send an s.o.s. to the world
i hope that someone gets my
i hope that someone gets my
i hope that someone gets my
message in a bottle

a year has passed since i wrote my note
but i should have known this right from the start
only hope can keep me together
love can mend your life
but love can break your heart

i’ll send an s.o.s. to the world
i’ll send an s.o.s. to the world
i hope that someone gets my
i hope that someone gets my
i hope that someone gets my
message in a bottle

walked out this morning
don’t believe what i saw
a hundred billion bottles
washed up on the shore
seems i’m not alone at being alone
a hundred billion castaways
looking for a home

i’ll send an s.o.s. to the world
i’ll send an s.o.s. to the world
i hope that someone gets my
i hope that someone gets my
i hope that someone gets my
message in a bottle

– the police

i think it’s pretty pathetic when a rapper, or a wannabe rapper, can’t find a better name than “rapmaster x” where x is the variable that stands for whatever the rapper or wannabe rapper wants it to stand for

and for the record
my name is
“RapMaster N”…

shut up

try word is bond by house of pain

what i really like is the female vocals in the background

just a “whoooo ooooo oooooo oooooo ooooo ooooo oooooo ooooo” sort of eerie — did i spell that right? — and very catchy

whoooo ooooo oooooo oooooo ooooo ooooo oooooo ooooo
