Song: They

I saw this song's music video on VH1. It kind of sounds like an anti-establishment song. But its a cool song though.

by Jem

Who made up all the rules
We follow them like fools
Believe them to be true
Don’t care to think them through

And I’m sorry so sorry
I’m sorry it’s like this
I’m sorry so sorry
I’m sorry we do this

And it’s ironic too
Coz what we tend to do
Is act on what they say
And then it is that way

And I’m sorry so sorry
I’m sorry it’s like this
I’m sorry so sorry
I’m sorry we do this

Who are they
And where are they
And how can they possibly know all this
Who are they
And where are they
And how can they possibly know all this

Do you see what I see
Why do we live like this
Is it because it’s true
that ignorance is bliss

Who are they
And where are they
And how do they know all this
And I’m sorry so sorry
I’m sorry it’s like this

Do you see what I see
Why do we live like this
Is it because it’s true
that ignorance is bliss

And who are they
And where are they
And how can they know all this
And I’m sorry so sorry
I’m sorry we do this

Song: Somewhere Only We Know

I like this song and the lyrics too, I thought I post the lyrics on this blog.

by Keane

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it some
where only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

School Started

School started and I am feeling so out of place. I've been out of school for over three months because of not taking the summer semester. I've been out of school for so long that I'm going to require a significant amount of time to adapt to my old environment(routine) all over again.

The Gathering Storm

There was a severe thunder storm circling over us for the past two days. There was so much rain and lightning followed by very loud thunder. Sometimes the lightning struck so close to my house that you couldn't even tell if there was a lag between the lightning and thunder. We get a lot of thunder storms here in the deepest south point of Alabama. It seems at least 40% of all the lightning during the storm touches the earth. I woke up twice in the middle of the night because of the loud thunder. Whenever lightning struck close to the house, it shook up all the windows. I never knew how loud thunder is until lightning strikes so close to your house. Once lightning touches the ground, it goes through some of the cables laid underground into peoples homes and burns their electrical appliances such as the TV, Computer or the Cable Modems. As a matter of fact it burned out my cable modem this time and that's why I could not post any blogs for the past few days. I called up Comcast and they sent a technician. He said the modems must be burnt out, installed a new one and that fixed the problem. I was in the kitchen when it happened. I saw the light from the sparks followed by the thunder and my brother who was sitting near the computer claims he saw the sparks come out from the modem. I was like Daaaaamn! This happens a lot to people around these parts. The lights kept going on and off the whole time during the storm. Down here in the south, thunder storms are always a concern.

The Best Part of "Road to Perdition"

Production shot from "Road to Perdition"



The only thing I liked from this over-hyped up god awful movie was this one line by Paul Newman.

"We are who we are and this is the life we chose, with only one guarantee...... That none of us will see heaven"

- Paul Newman in "Road to Perdition"

My Ultimate Test of Freedom

If I ever got naturalized as a US citizen, as an ultimate test of freedom. The first thing I would do is to buy an American flag, a bottle of highly combustible fluid, and a cigarette lighter. I would walk down to a crowded public place, soak the flag in the combustible fluid, and set it ablaze. And keep on shouting out like a madman "This is what I think of America!" while I franticly wave the burning flag. And wait to see if I get arrested for burning a sacred national symbol, that is only if the angry mob doesn't beat me to death first. The reason I would do this is not show that I hate America or anything like that, but to see if the law will uphold my right to free speech and expression (First Amendment).

Movie Review : The Village

Production shot from "The Village"



Rating: 3.5/5.0



Another great movie from acclaimed film maker M. Night Shyamalan. "The Village" takes place around the late 1800s about a small village in the woods. The towns people don't venture out of the village because they consider the woods the domain of the creatures that haunt the woods around their village. It is said that the villagers have an unspoken pact with the creatures in the woods that they won't venture in the woods and the creatures will let the villagers live in peace. The creatures in the woods start leaving of signs in the village indicating that the pact has been broken. Although this movie is not as good as "The Signs" or "The Sixth Sense" but it does have a few twists like Night's previous work and makes watching this movie worth the money.
