Cataracts – Andrew Bird

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/17/sports/17blood.html?hp

will this be the end of my tendinitis woes? will i be able to sprint again? questions, hopes, purported answers.

America – BoA

a fantastic article on shane battier. can i be a player like him, will i be able to do what he does, and will there be a time when i can be considered to be at the same level as him? i don’t know, really ( i don’t think so actually ) but damned if i don’t try.

words i live by, try, try, try, try, try, ad infinitum.

——————-

blood sweat and tears, blood sweat and tears, i fought against men 10-20 cm taller than me, and we won. that’s all that matters, who needs height when you have a heart. fight, bleed, never give up, never say die, words to live by, words to live by.

The Lighthouse – Interpol

what will it be like when you wake up one day only to find the person whom you have been living with for ages, whom you have loved gone, left, never to speak to you again? it was valentine’s day yesterday, it doesn’t have to be the passing today, but it was just a hypothetical thought, and somehow i do not know how i will quite cope with it.

who will be there, who will be the beacon, who will guide lost seamen to safety.

Grey Room – Damien Rice

and then despair was the greatest emotion, but why, why does it strike such a sense of discordance within me? surely there has to be a sense of resolution, a detached sense of calm, but somehow things will never quite work out the way they should.

i should stop speaking with such grayness, in such grayness, but sometimes there’s no other way about it. grey is a combination of black over white, or is it white over black; is order that important, is sequence that relevant, but pak, you of all people should know the answer to that.

What She Came For – Franz Ferdinand

words and words, those are what she most certainly did not.

these are salient days, more academic days, and i am most certainly thankful for that. BA is certainly much more challenging than the first three years in caux, although the latter is by far the better place to be in. break out of the paradigm, break out of habits, break out from the propensity to do the thing that you’ve been known for doing (not procrastinating because heyy, i have to be more mature that way), because, you cannot simply keep on living that way.

these days i have resolved to be simple, to keep things simple, because as tamara and yana said, the best things are that way, look at socialism for instance, and that, was the epiphany for the week, and the resolution for a year.
