YEEEAAAHH
At the Amsterdam show yesterday there was a Canadian girl who has been so far to...26 NIN concerts !
Lucky girl...
you. never. know.
Not mine really. All credits go to LOG1N – I saw them among his myspace friends and impudently snatched them. Thanks for the tip !
All that could have been is not to be regretted for because if it had been then all that has really been wouldn’t have happened. I hope my meaning can still be seen through the tense mess. The point is it’s not about losing but gaining and getting. All that could have been appeals better simply because by default it remains an unfulfilled dream, an ultimate fantasy. When there are choices to choose from there’s a place for that ugly oppressing feeling of being cheated because you can put all the choices to a test and there will always be something missed. The trick is to learn to let go all the might-have-beens; the trick is to choose living in the real world and enjoy what you already have.
Basically I would agree with me…if it wasn’t for the madness of the last few days that I managed to survive by hiding in my fantasies pretending the reality is just a bad dream that has gone a little bit too far. There were(and still are) so many things I had to do and so many things I wanted to do: some blog writing, answering to comments and PMs from The Spiral, keeping up with threads on The Spiral and ETS, working on my myspace profile, meeting some 3-dimentional friends etc etc etc...and I have no energy nor strength to do any of it. I’m dead tired.
I hadn’t been listening to the 5 YZ leaks for days-no time. And I missed them so much as if they were long gone dear friends. In a way that is true. And the lyrics...they speak to me now; I don't have words to tell how glad that makes me feel.
I wanted to add Jah Wobble to the list of my “myspace friends” and I sent a request but then I went back to viewing his profile and there it was : “Jah Wobble has 0 friends” because “I’m sorry but I won’t be accepting ‘friends’. I’m uneasy with the term friend being used as a form of collateral. A friend is someone who you come to know and trust and break bread with and all that. If you think that’s a pathetically old fashioned view that’s ok with me, no problem. It is not my intention to cause offence or anything. I wasn’t even going to have a myspace page but then someone (with the best of intentions) started one using my name without asking. That has the potential to lead to all sorts of problems, so we asked them to stop and then started this page. If you have an interest in my music and what I’m up to then hopefully this page will be of use.”. Such a pity; to my taste he’s an amazing talent, absolutely unique. I’m making me a friends treasure nest at myspace. Why do all those brilliant musicians add me I do not care(I know it is probably because it looks cooler to have 50000 than 500 friends). But thus I don’t have to look for their profiles when I need to; now they are a click away.
Myspace is addictive; and very useful indeed. Yesterday I discovered a D’n’B French musician named Vincent aka Gabinoo aka LOG1N whose music is so unexpectedly astonishing; Above all his site looks amazing and so does his myspace profile.
I must confess I didn’t like Survivalism at first. I didn’t like it the second time either. But I kept on listening to it and now…
OMG ! OMG ! OMG !
I LOVE IT !
I LOVE IT !
I LOVE IT !
Bow down before the one you serve
I saw “Man on fire” a couple of days ago. And I was truly amazed…to hear extracts from “The mark has been made”, “The Frail” and “The Art Of Self Destruction”-part 1. At first I was delighted by that. At first…because I’m not happy with the way they were used in the movie. TAOSD as an illustration of an attempted suicide…TMHBM as a background of one of the most brutal scenes in the whole movie…; to listen to those beloved sounds while Denzel Washington is cutting someone’s fingers one by one…why ?!
I apologize for postponing the show tonight in Birmingham - I simply have to not sing for a couple of days. Please know I do not make this decision lightly and I am sorry for the inconvenience. See you again soon,
Trent
Get well soon.
Yeah, they have 50000 friends and probably who ever is responsible for it clicks on the “Add” button without even checking who’s requested it. Still it made me happy.
Everybody loves you when you're dead
And everyone is suddenly you're dearest friend
Nobody talks no dirt about you
But life it just goes on above your head
When you're dead
Everybody miss you when you're gone
They'll reminisce about you
When they hear your favorite song
They'll think that they said something wrong
They'll wonder if there was something they shoud've said
When you're gone
And I'm never gonna tell a lie
And I'm never gonna wear a tie
And I'm never gonna say goodbye
Goodbye
Life is so much better when you're dead
Conversation's easy when there's nothing to be said
But it can get a little lonesome
Maybe you should take along a friend
Like I said
And I'm never gonna tell a lie
And I'm never gonna wear a tie
And if I can't walk, maybe I can fly
Don't ask the reason why
But I'm never gonna say goodbye
Goodbye
I realized I care for me little if not at all. It’s good to know it. And it explains a lot.
Edit : I ended up accused of being too egocentric and selfish. I’m the last one to tell anyway. Excuse my human nature. Not all of us are supermen.
