oh my god i just realised something. this is insane. i was still clicking around and trying to find music by The Band. and all of a sudden i realised that when harris asked me if i've heard the band, i said yes the song The Weight on the easy rider soundtrack, when it isn't even printed there that it's by them, i don't even know why i said so, i think i've been somehow thinking that it's by them. and the funny thing is, it IS by them, written by them but not sung on the soundtrack. this is just strange. and i just found an imix called chillin in the hippie days.

itunes is incredible!!!!!! it's a playground. they even sell episodes of LOST. they probably have every song ever played. I was clicking around and I saw this thing that said, the most popular imixes, and it was Gilmore Girls: Luke's POV. It was a list of mixed songs someone created, that depicts luke's mind, with some songs from the show and some not! Songs like I'm a believer by the monkees (sounds fantastic), sway, moondance, brighter than sunshine, BE MY YOKO ONO by the barenaked ladies, banana pancakes, your body is a wonderland, god only knows and lots more unknown ones.. i can't believe people create mixes like that. this is the new age.

I practised the drums for the first time in about a year and a half I think. I'm terrible. Then I dug out this drumming book I bought years ago and read it and now I feel so clear about what to do. It's going to something that needs determination, discipline, lots of work and will be frustrating but totally great. Drumming was proven by time magazine (i think) to be the most stress-relieving activity and recommended for all offices to have one in a sound-proof room. So i thought, i'm at home these days, all alone, so i'll practise! It is therapeutic and gives me muscles. But I can't wait to properly start after the exams!!!!!!!
Naima and Kahlen ended up the final 2 of america's next top model, which is the only time the people I root for from the start ever went to the finals (besides Brian the hairy porn star from survivor thailand). Naima is a lot like the girl in whale rider, Keisha Castle Hughes, totally alike. The things she says are also very like the movie ("Because the earth is me and I am the earth"). And today on survivor, yaxha ate chocolate after gliding through the guatemalan forest. The chocolate was GLEAMING in that tropical wet rainforest. It was danni's birthday and they invited the other tribe for a pool party in their amazing pool. Which means that on 13 july this year which is also my birthday, I was somewhere but not knowing that one day I'd watch this fantastic season of survivor and during that very sunny period in july they were in fact playing survivor on the other side of the world!!!!!!!! The most scary and crazy moment of survivor has got to be the moment they reveal the results of survivor pearl islands because it was between sandra and LIL, and i think we'd all puke and die if Lil won. Because she's an old girl scout who wears her girl scout uniform to tribal council, talks about scout's honour all the time, pouts at everything and anything and did not have a clue on what went on in the game. (I think she also kind of accidentally won the final immunity challenge, the balancing one, by mentioning to sandra that her -sandra's- breasts were exposed as she was bent to touch the totem pole) In today's reward challenge they were supposed to wind this huge spool of thread around themselves by walking in a circle around the spool, 1 by 1, then 2 by 2 till its 4 people bound together. They started looking like crabs trying to walk quickly from one spool to another!!! Rafe (gay wilderness guide) had his legs spread open and he was totally bound to lydia (fishmonger) who was chest to chest with Stephanie (lagrossa). Brandon the farmer later went to the wooden pool and it was raining heavily and danni went to join him to talk about who to vote off and the rain made his khaki hair limp, his tan skin gleam and his patch of raw shoulder wound totally white against all that skin and water. And a crocodile lurked and blinked beneath them in the murky water. I must be obsessed with survivor. I mean I must still be obsessed with it. Its been 7 years and the fever heat wave that is survivor is back with the MAYANS.

EASY RIDER
I am dying to watch easy rider again!!!!!!! The soundtrack is fantastic. I returned the movie to ixer the pooh bear so the only way is to order it from amazon because it's banned in singapore. And reading on the road right now isn't a great idea because it's special in a way and it's ridiculous to read about Sal's adventures and hitchhiking and be all in it and then go study. I might as well burn it that way. Jack Kerouac wrote it in 3 weeks just typing non-stop everyday and the book is supposed to capture that speed and intensity and whoosh. It's just fantastic!!!! Oh help. I tried to buy the best of the mama's and the papa's yesterday but got laughed at by the salesperson for how i pronounced papa's sort of like pawpas. And I didn't really feel like buying it anymore. And it was grammophone my favourite place. Damn that imbecile.
Yesterday I was leaving school on the bus to stay in my shell for 2 weeks of studying and I was listening to 'the weight' by The Band (easy rider soundtrack) and i had a strange feeling that i was dying, or rather that my life was ending. Nothing to do with studying. I don't know how to describe it but I felt it strongly. I will miss the bird uncle. I feel as if I'm never going to see him ever again.
Preecoford I don't know your email!
I'm going to try listening to more sixties stuff now rather than what I usually listen to. I'm going to try The Mama's and The Papa's, The Band, Pink Flyod (don't think I'll like it), Grateful Dead, Steppenwolf. I wonder if all my life I will be sort of stuck in the sixties, though not really, because I never lived it, I'm an outsider. But I can feel the vibes all the time coming off things I read or music or people. It's this crazy sublime happy floating state. It really is.
WALK, DON'T RUN

Well she was just seventeen, you know what I mean
HO-HUM. Most interesting activities of the day: watching gilmore girls, bathing and singing, watching the apprentice, watching a bit of a knight's tale, which is about the MEDIEVAL times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Incredible. It was a mix of modern and medieval at bit parts, like at the start when they played 'we will we will rock you' and all the townspeople who went to watch the jostling (?) match were stomping away except it was weird because it wasn't sort of grand and awe-inspiringly big-scale but on a green field with these wooden stands and dirty-looking people. Heath Ledger has golden hair in it, and Paul Bettany plays CHAUCER, who was trudging around naked.
I am so sick of all this I can't take anyone saying anything more about loving econs or appreciating it because I don't give a hoot about interest rates and policies and never will. I sound like I am ranting. I do think that anyone who has an active interest in it....it just puzzles me in the deepest way. (i HAVE tried being open.....zen.....about.....it..........) I wonder if anyone out there in the world finds this too. If you find this perplexing too, please, 'reach out' to me.
I wish I were in outer space now, and the adventure would start first with the planets in our solar system. it would be dark and starry and cool and icy and hot and peaceful and scary all at once. then we would move to other realms, visit other solar systems, make peace with the other life forms who obviously exist (earth is just a puny part of the whole galaxy, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for nothing else to exist. but it is also very scary that they do. no one knows about no one...i hope.) and then sail right to the outer realms of the milky way. it would be just groovy. other-worldly. magical. the whole night would be spent sailing along, also visiting another galaxy where it is totally futuristic like in the movies, and another place where everyone is so primitive and unmodern and just totally real and you can SMELL them (all the farts and the flowers growing everywhere, because almost everywhere is grass). then i would come back and tell all kids and adults who never grow up about the adventure. i would spend some time on earth, and the next adventure would be as a cloud.
(I just wanna smell desiree's room now. It smells so SWEET.)
Goodnight, Universe. I am convinced that this void of a space i am typing into melts into some dust of some sort and joins the balance of the dirty dust, fairy dust, all the dusts that make up the universe and make things hang in the balance. I can't explain how or why but I really think so. Bonjourno, spazio intergalatico!
'Imagine me and you, I do. I think about you day and night, it's only right, to think about the girl you love, and hold her tight, so happy together. ..........
I can't see me loving nobody but you for all my life, when you're with me baby the skies will be blue, for all my life' THE TURTLES
