buddha for salvation
"the drunk kids, the catholics
they’re all about the same
they’re waiting for something
hoping to be saved"
drunk kid catholic - bright eyes
this song just about sums up the year. last year was spent getting drunk, and this year was spent praying. quite funny but i've probably prayed to every god i've known or heard of. the christian god, jesus, buddha, goddess of mercy, some random hindu gods, allah, etc.
i was trying my luck to see which one of them were kind enough to answer my prayers. and erm seriously though, the buddhist one worked. either that or it was just a fucking uncanny concidence. next year i'll try zeus and apollo etc etc.
the similarity between 07 and 08 is that i was hoping that someone or something would save me. so yes, this song fits very well.
and now a summary of the year, with the first paragraphs of the first posts of each month.

the only thing more fun than watching banglas mosh and do hardcore dancing is to mosh with the banglas. that's what we did, and that's how i spent the first hour of 2008.

my strange mother is considering allowing my sister to bring back another kitten. then there'll be 2 cats at home and she'll definitely go mad within a month. self-inflicted misery, i say.

i was reading football365 forums about the 'oldest trick in the book.'

"bah, now everyone is like 'whooo my new school is great blah blah.' i think it's a whole bunch of shit. how come they didn't say school was great back when they were in secondary school? not many realise that it's just fucking orientation they're going through. if i were to go to 'school' and play games with hot chicks everyday then obviously school's great. when the lessons start then they'll start to cry."

well what better way to celebrate may day than by listening to (and watching) mayday parade?

now that i'm almost consigned to my fate of going to army and enjoying/suffering for the next 2 years or so, life has yet again decided to throw me another SURPRISE. a funny leg injury means that i can't run and jump and kick, and i don't know how long before i can.

remember one year ago? how about two years ago? i was looking at the time on my laptop just now and i realised that it's july already. i laughed a little to myself as i recalled what i wrote last july and i went to look at it for a bit.

last sunday night in my holiday resort i awoke at around 12am after about half an hour of sleep because i was sweating. i opened my mosquito net and tried to go back to sleep.

remember this? i'm struggling with my standing broad jump now, even struggling very terribly to get 234cm (minimum gold standard) when i used to be able to jump 260 for fun.

the ns guy who died recently was my cousin's platoonmate. the way he died was so strange that it made me slightly worried about those around me. normally people die when they over-exert themselves, like while running and having sex, activities that will raise their heart rate for extended periods.

we were out at a chinese restaurant just now. there was a family having their dinner at another table, and there was an old man in a wheelchair at the table. the family's maid was feeding him throughout the meal, and even had to wheel him to the toilet once i think.

of all the albums i've heard, the following 3 are the best. most albums have a few great songs, a few nice songs, and the rest are filler, second rate music, or the songs just sound out of place for some reason or another. these albums though, are great and consistent from beginning to end. at least they are to me.
