i also want to thank yaser for introducing me to switchfoot in the first place

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

– 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

oh btw, as you can see i’ve redesigned the site
if you’ve seen my AA page (sherlock_nomes on asianavenue), then you’ll see it bears a striking resemblance
the flag up there is the palestinian flag (no i’m not palestinian, i just think they represent oppressed people of the world…)
i’m gonna make some changes to the site’s structure
so the stuff that used to be all available isn’t available right now, sorry
but i’ll get it back soon

later

songs of the day:
– everlast – ends
– everlast – money (dollar bill)

rant of the day:
sorry for not posting for a while (to all my fans … hahaha… i’m delusional)
anyway, you can see the new design

as for me
i’m still in saudi arabia
and i’m working for a maintenance/cleaning company
so i’ve been removing/repainting window frames at the thai embassy
been doing other odd jobs around
and right now i’m working at the chinese embassy
cleaning stuff

can’t complain though
not even about the DAMNED HEAT that often reaches well over 50 DEGREES CELSIUS
i’m fine

thanks…
