How Lucky We Are

November 20, 2009 Sya Leave a comment

One day we’ll get outta this shitty apartment
One day is all it takes for things to turn around now
All I know is I got you and you got me, babe

And when that morning comes
I’ll make coffee and you’ll read the paper
We’ll talk about our plans
And I’ll keep saying how lucky we are

One day we’ll get in the car and drive anywhere we wanna go
And then we’ll stay in a five star, mini-bar, luxury hotel room
Cuz all I know is I got you and you got me, babe

And when that morning comes
I’ll make coffee and you’ll read the paper
We’ll talk about our plans
And I’ll keep saying how lucky we are

How lucky we are, oh oh oh
How lucky we are, oh oh oh
How lucky we are, oh oh oh
How lucky we are, are, are…

One day we’ll turn on the tv and we won’t see nothing ’bout war…

And when that morning comes
I’ll make coffee and you’ll read the paper
We’ll talk about our plans
And I’ll keep saying how lucky we are

How lucky, how lucky we are
Oh how lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are
Oh how lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are
Oh how lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are

—Meiko

Everytime I’m listening to her on Itunes I think back to last july; to Livvy; to a damn lot of things. Afternoon light on the ceiling of my apartment, late afternoon summer blue sky, the pine tree that I see through my window…

The day we spent together not doing a lot of things.

Sunbathing.

Waiting.

Wandering in downtown Rouen.

Holding each other.

Days that ended too quickly but began slowly.

Waking up at 10AM and getting up at 1PM.

I love Meiko’s songs.

Busy as one can be

November 13, 2009 Sya Leave a comment

Ouais, plutôt occupé ouais, et ce jusqu’à décembre; c’est dire!

Je n’ai rien de nouveau à dire, puisqu’hormi la routine, rien ne se passe vraiment.

Horreur, me criez-vous?

Eh non, malheureux, la routine ne m’aime pas tant que ça, et ce que j’appelle routinier ne l’était pas ces derniers temps. Néanmoins, je n’ai rien à dire car, hormi le fait d’être malade jusqu’à mercredi, je n’ai pas grand chose à dire.

Je suis resté 2 jours chez Livvy, 2 jours qui sont passés trop vite, malheureusement.

De même, j’ai l’impression de ne plus prendre de photos, et cela m’attriste un peu, bien que j’ai quelques projets photographiques qui mériteraient d’être menés à bien, mais pour cela, il me faudrait du temps, et ça…

Peut-être quelques photos dimanche soir, si j’ai le temps de faire quelques clichés de ma récente acquisition, à savoir une lampe en sel d’himalaya du plus bel effet.

Mais pour ça…

you got it.

cya round guys;

sya’s busy.

“Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre,
mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað”

more proud the spirit as our power lessens”

Jesus Walk

October 7, 2009 Sya Leave a comment

(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me)
The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don’t fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don’t think there is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus Walks with me)
I want to talk to God but I’m afraid because we ain’t spoke in so long

— Kanye West

Just the hook cuz the rest ain’t relevant. God show me a sign today, as I asked for it. Actually he gave me two.

Amen.

While you were working…

October 6, 2009 Sya Leave a comment

I was at the university, studying.

I mean, mostly; cuz I also was with my friends

…and Liv of course.

Don’t have much to say. I guess I’ll post a note when I have some spare time but, frankly, it doesn’t look this way.

So much to read.

Plus dissertation to hand back for november … I know it seems far but … time flies.

I’m reading Henry D. Thoreau “Walden” & “Civil Disobedience“.

I’m off to LDN on the 22nd.

Yeah, that’s pretty much it.

More news later.

…no promise though.

Sky Might Fall

September 19, 2009 Sya Leave a comment

What a world that I’m livin’ in,
Will the rainstorms ever end,
Still I feel my… path narrow,
I run again,
See happiness is gone again,
And then you see ‘em,
Grey clouds up above man,
Metaphor to my life man,
Still I feel my…heart stronger then its ever been,
Strong will to my journey ends,
‘Til then I roll,
More then I’ve ever rolled not pills but the mari-ol’,
Still I feel my…eyes heavy when the days go,
Nothing helping with my head dose,
But I aint sleepin’,
Awake in another state,
Livin’ in a new space,
Still I feel my…mind runnin’ at a steady pace,
God help me so I’ll win the race

‘Til then I call
The sky might fall
The sky might fall
But I’m not worried at all
C’mon C’mon
The sky might fall
The sky might fall
But I’m not worried at all
Hey Hey
I let them know some, let them know some, let them know some
You can listen up, listen up, listen up, listen uuup
Hey I let them know some, let them know some, let them know some
You can listen up, listen up, listen up, listen uuup

Grey clouds took together fam,
Lining piercing to another land
Over the desert wit’ the lost play,
Soul searching each in every way,
An then you see tha,
Awesome sounds so profound within,
It’ll grip you…you can see it,
If you hear you can feel it too,
Somethin’ special I am runnin’ to,
‘Til then I go,
Away very far away,
To another universe where all people say,
Its a new new place for the special to embrace,
Like a martian you seein’ it,
Wandered out the place,
Take what you need from the valley of the hopeful,
Even if you dry you’ll be floatin’ high above it,
You can say Bye Bye Bye,
Sky might be fallin’ but remember you can fly high.

The sky might fall
The sky might fall
But I’m not worried at all
C’mon C’mon
The sky might fall
The sky might fall
But I’m not worried at all
Hey Hey
I let them know some, let them know some, let them know some
You can listen up, listen up, listen up, listen uuup
Hey I let them know some, let them know some, let them know some
You can listen up, listen up, listen up, listen uuup

—KiD CuDi

Listening to his latest release when I’m not playing at Red Faction Guerilla. Got to recover from the parties and the alcohol.

y’a know.

Random.

Last september.

other times.

Strangers coming.

Myself going.

possibilities lying.

… and the need to put meaning in my life again.
