The General Leaves

Sarah leaves the country for Cairo tomorrow,

I've never had so much fun in Dubai without her being a part of the group, things are going to be really different, I can already feel it :(.

You never really appreciate a person until they're actually missing.

This probably seems like a good time to hit the 'X' button on this sorry excuse for a blog but honestly,

I couldn't care less ;)

Without Sawah, there shalt be no:-

1>Ordering at a shisha joint
2>Modifying an order
3>Arguing with authority
4>Compliments on how cool Dayaan is (because hes such a rockstah)
5>Familiar smell of vanilla....like anywhere
6>Fun drives to Sharjah
7>Arguiing with authority
8>References to me as 'DeeDee'
9>Usage of crazy immigrant accent with
10>Recommendations on great movies/music
11>Warm hugs
12>Shisha adjustments
13>Incredible source of weird facts



Come back soon kai?

Take a bow

Did you ever wake up on a cold sunday morning and have a bad day simply because you set your mind on nothing going right?.

Not me, this weeks been really good to me,I just needed a clever/deceptive way to begin this post.
I have recently acquired a Motorola Razr V3i, its about time I got a new phone, the baby-blue/pink keypad combination just wasn't me anymore(incidentally the 'old me' now lies in a drawer somewhere in the house).

I'm one of those people who like saving memorable text messages on cell phones (theres yet another reason this blog exists),and that old ones got a heap of messages that I'm going to miss,which is why I'm a little reluctant about letting it go.

I need a new start,

I need to change my priorities,

I need to quit talking about stupid things like ancient text messages,

I need caffeine,

Think damnit think,

do blogs really need a purpose? , check out a few of the blogs on the links section , most of them seem to hold their own out there.

Anyway

I'm supposed to do a 2500 word thesis on language in song lyrics for my English exam and I don't know where to start, either that or I'm just plain lazy,

the latter seems about right.

So I got around to watching Scrubs yesterday, its actually not as bad as I made it out to be, not as good as I expected either but I guess thats a given, it being an American sitcom , it does tend to wallow largely in the 'Saw that coming a mile away' & 'Hurrah for cheap laughs and slapstick comedy!' region.

At the most, I'll say its cute.

Another thing thats been a source of annoyance is shit like this on the internet :-



I want to track down the sad sack of a man who made that and wrap his genitalia around an electric fence.

I'm done for today

*Feels pleased with himself for blogging :)*


Now Listening to Josh Joplin - Camera One

Bottom Feeder

The bottom feeder

Social formulaic utterances
are all thats evident
of this moment
of this air
the atmosphere reeks
the flesh stinks
fret not,let it sink
the bottom feeders the saviour

watch him mend your ailment
watch him fight your war
he stalks the ground
taking your worthless and unwanted
as you soar high above ,with the notes of a song
denying the dynamic that exists in all

no time for pain,escape or let it lie
the world is a happier place
under the sheets,behind the drapes

the bottom feeder ploughs on
though he bleeds
the bottom feeder ploughs on

Life Update

Because thats what I've been doing lately with this little slice of the 'intar-web'.

Pretty noticeable change in music too, I've been listening to a few Slipknot tracks (yes I know, *audio-blasphemy* and such)
But playing and writing with Deviant has opened my eyes to how music is structured,one does get sick of the generic verse-chorus-verse format after years of listening to stuff like that.

My mum woke me up this afternoon because she found an old 6310i for me to use, it had Shehara's old SIM card in it too.
I put mine in it and started it up and it felt so.......alien, I didn't like it at all,it just felt so different.
I'll probably use it for a while,just for a change.

Oh I finished my English exam too, I'm so glad its over, I don't want to hear the words 'conversational analysis' again,
What a pain in the ass , I don't see how it could come in handy (feel free to comment if you think otherwise).
I also did my TOEFLs yesterday, "insultingly simple", its just the 3 hours of sitting down that killed me.

Oh I've inherited Lucas' 5-string Cort C-5 and I'm liking it alot so far, feels nice to play a full-size bass after being used to a plywood Ibanez GSR for so long, plus it looks alot more 'hXc' ;).
Aside from that, I feel alot more at 'one' with the guys in Deviant now, I've been trying to pen down any lyrics that come to my head at random times,suddenly I don't feel so insecure about being kicked out anymore.

So yay.

On a sadder note,

My family's dog 'Sheeba' passed away in Srilanka a couple of days ago, RIP.

P.S > Keep that blog alive Anisha ;)

Dayaan is sick

Yes its another "what I did today" post, go to hell.

I knew this weather was too good to be true, as of today I have succumbed to the change in temperature.

My world is pain.

I also have an A level English Mock tomorrow (woo), and I didn't go to school today either,and my bag has been in class since the school closed down for the holidays.
I spent the entire day watching Pearl Harbour,sneezing, and cake.

I got a spine tingling feeling today while walking around my room and picked up my spanish guitar from the couch and started playing,
I created something really cool and I hope I don't forget it,
T'was beautiful how it came about too,

I started out with a single note,

followed by another,

and then a rhythm

and then a few more bits and pieces to add,

and finally came up with a melody.

I hope to add alot more to it , like a bassline etc, the thing is I have no way of recording anything I create, I also have nobody to play it with because nobody will ever know what I want the piece to be.

I may sound selfish but I rarely like anybody else fiddling with my ideas and such.

Go make your own damn music!.

Haha I'm such a tool.

Shiver

Yet another long stint of inactivity here,

Fear not though, I haven't given up on the blog, I just wanted it to be a casual place anyway.

So New Years was alright, didn't manage to get wasted though, but I did manage to pretend quite a bit.

I've been listening to alot of The Doors,Armin Van Buuren,Saosin,System of a Down,Slayer and alot of other random stuff as of late, my days have been consumed by a large amount of appointments and such, I've finished my stint at Ibn Batuta too and I'm yet to be paid so yay :).

I've also been jamming quite a bit lately, I've grown more and more on my bass over the past few months, learning new things and best of all, experimenting with different EQ settings and techniques.

Karan came back from his vacation in India today so we were out and about doing the usual.

Bleh, funny how most of the posts here lack any sort of structure, but I guess it adds to the effect....or something.

/shoo


P.S > Dubai has become cold, run away.
