The Wandering Deity's World

I don't know about you guys but  I sure am tired of my dramatic tirades. 

Ergo, for a change here's something that I saw in Albatross's blog, a buddy in myspace. Very educational indeed this video, so tomorrow I am going to share it with my students who hum this song constantly, because a popular TV ad carries the tune. Poor students never moved from the first line to the next because they don't know the lyrics. 

I am pretty sure they're gonna worship me for this.

Can't think of anything right. I am so overwhelmed. I'll tell you the details some other day, when everything's confirmed.

In the meantime, let me give you this classic by The Stylistics, "Can't Give You Anything (But My Love):

Not to be outdone, the Japanese came up with their very own stylish version:

Oh in case you don't know, that guy is Takuya Kimura, big in Japan, very hot dude, uber metrosexual. Korean girls are also swooning over him.

Needless to say, he amuses me too! I so love his Levis Engineered Jeans ad.

If he wants, he can be  my boytoy... Harharharhar!

Someday... I will grow old. Wrinkles and all. Vain no more.

Boy bands will come and go, but these guys will stay around -- eternally youthful and beautiful, withstanding the passing of time, monumental and resistive in collision with the modern era; for they, have created an institution of their own.

I woke up this morning thinking of all the music that plays around the house when I was growing up. These are but some of father's favorites.

No I am not really lonely. Please don't get that impression based on  the heading. I just couldn't think of a proper title for tonite's entry.

I told the BF that I am going to bed early and cut short our nightly talks, but...

I am not feeling well. And I don't like it. I am still trying to recover from iron deficiency which caused me to menstruate for more than 20 days; gave me constant irritation, pallor and other undesirable things that made me a total monster some weeks ago. I am trying to get my blood and sanity back and now this.

My tooth hurts so bad, it gives me pain beyond description. I didn't sleep good last night. And tonite, I tried to lie down but the searing pain is driving me nuts. However, I have to bear the torture because according to the dentist I consulted earlier, I  have to prep 300 bucks. I don't want gold filling. No sir. I just want my tooth fixed. Period. But 300 bucks? Was he really serious? The last time I had my tooth done, it cost me only 8 bucks, mainly because O let me use her insurance card. But now she's 3 hours and a half by airplane from me. Oh well.

Anyway, I was browsing through youtube to find some neat stuff when I came across this video of Godhead, thus the inspiration for the title. Godhead gives Eleanor Rigby some kind of uppity-techno-danceable version; it'll make one think if the Beatles (with the exception of Sir Paul) would dig Godhead's rendition, if ever they see it.

I think this video is cool though. And the lead guy of Godhead? I think he is ultra hot. Scary looking but yummy nonetheless.

I am going to bed. I am starting to have creepy stuff in my head.

All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?

~ The Beatles "Eleanor Rigby"

Youtube.com is so making me lazy to post real entries. 

Anyways, I posted this really cool video in myspace but for the sake of those who are not subscribed, here you go...

Everybody now get your dancing shoes and start grooving!

A-five-six-seven-eight!

Shake your booty! Shake your booty! Aha!

I need to polish my dancing shoes. 

Appointments can be broken but they can be rescheduled. Glasses can be broken but they can be replaced. Hearts can be broken but they can be mended. Spirits can be broken but they can still be rebuilt. However, there's nothing more repugnant than a broken vow...

Don't get any stupid ideas... I just like this song. Lara's voice is so angelic, it's like a momma's lullaby.

*Additional text provided by Chaos. Which reminds me that if and when he breaks his vow, I am so going to break his balls! 

I am disturbed and I don't know why

I am stupified and I don't know when

I am lost and I don't know where

I should sleep and I don't know how

Anyway, don't you just love Disturbed?

Oh no guys. Am not talking about the descent of my allies. Not yet. They are not fetching me. Nooooo. I am talking about the collaboration between the two of the world's greatest bands in a concert which made a difference. How cool is that?

I heard this song over the radio on my way to school. As soon as I got home, I frantically googled for it. I don't know the title, only parts of the lyrics that  I memorized out of desperation. I got what I want plus this really cool video. So here, for the benefit of those who don't have time to check out YouTube and Wikipedia, the coolest concert evahhhhhh!!!

...To coincide with the joint U2/Green Day recording of "The Saints are Coming", both bands performed a live version of the song during the Monday Night Football Pregame show of the New Orleans Saints - Atlanta Falcons game on Monday night September 25, 2006. This day was also the thirtieth anniversary of the formation of U2. This was to be the first game in the Louisiana Superdome since it was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, and the song was being played to benefit Music Rising, a charity created by U2's The Edge in order to bring instruments and music programs back to New Orleans.

In the four song set, U2 and Green Day performed "Wake Me Up When September Ends" followed by a medley of The Animals' "House Of The Rising Sun", The Skids' "The Saints Are Coming" and U2's "Beautiful Day" as a seven-piece band, augmented by the Rebirth Brass Band, the New Birth Brass Band and Troy Andrews and Orleans Avenue. The lyrics of all four songs were customized by singers Billie Joe Armstrong and Bono to commemorate the trials, tribulations and successes that faced the city over the past year. Punctuating the 68,000 fans' first season-ticket sellout of the Louisiana Superdome in its 31-year history, the New Orleans Saints beat the Atlanta Falcons 23-3. Since then, the song has been played at Saints home games before they take the field... - Wikipedia

I am reposting this because I FINALLY found the vee-dee-oooo!!!YES! 

05.21.06 

At 4 o'clock in the morning, I was racing against time, trying to beat the mighty sun from coming and wearily trying to finish two articles at the same time... then I found myself grasping for words to type. I am not sure if this is writer's block or something. Also, there's one thing that keeps coming to me - I wish HE is here, right beside me.

And it is so, that instead of finishing the articles, I found myself googling for the lyrics of Wish You Were Here, one of Pink Floyd's best that I so love. I remember quoting the lyrics sometime ago in one of my entries, but I am just too lazy now to go over my archiveS.

I found a Live 8 version, where the group reunited for the first time ever after Waters left in 1985. Pink Floyd sounds the same as they always did. It's creepy though to hear them sing the song again 21 years after the album was released; it was like, you know, hearing your granddad singing along to the tune.

Categorically, Pink Floyd will always be a... CLASSIC.

Here, feel free to sing along. I already did, much to the dismay of my room mate. He he.

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears,
wish you were here.

My closest friends know that I love this song with such impassioned attachment that I sing "Iris" all the time whenever I get hold of a microphone (albeit a lil out of tune most of the times but who cares?!). When BF told me to start telling everyone that I just got myself engaged (honestly, I could not recall him proposing at all), this is the first and only song I could think of at that very moment. I dunno why. Perhaps when I agreed to spend the rest of my life with him, it goes without saying that I am giving up everything that I have planned prior to falling in love with him. Suffice to say that although it would mean giving up my primordial goals in life, it will be all worth it... for He... is all worth it.

Okay, enough said, this is going to be a long story. I will stop here.

Here, belt your best act and sing along to this video which I stole from someone else's blog in myspace. I hope that person won't sue me ever.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

~ Goo Goo Dolls "Iris"

I am so mushy tonite. I need to have a drink! Ugh!
