vegas

you know how you download, wait, i mean, procure, whole albums and then you don't really wanna listen to all the songs because you really only downloaded (ah heck) it for a few hit singles? well, i must say im glad i gave Sarah Bareilles the benefit of doubt! Love Song's amazing, one of the best songs ive heard on radio this year, and it's always a treat to hear that familiar piano staccato in the midst of mundane office trappings. but hell she really delivers on every other track with that "little voice" of hers. she has, as bonnie mckee would sing, "a voice that carries". i cant say im familiar with ALL her songs, but im a truly convinced fan of Vegas, One Sweet Love and Many the Miles. and that's enough! like wow.

gonna sell my car and go to vegas
somebody told me that's where dreams would be

and im listening to this and im thinking omg yes i wanna go to vegas NOW. no i dont have a car to sell, and "i aint got no money and no red american express" as timbaland would put it, but heck i wanna go to where my dreams are, and im prepared to drop whatever i have (are you kidding me) and fly there even if it's on some budget airline. next stop....vegas please!

have a deep sleep upon a sweet dream i'll never realize

but then reality kicks you in the butt and reminds you that your bladder is full and you need to pee. you go to the toilet, let it all out, and wonder to yourself: is life really as simple as i need to go to the toilet, so im gonna go? or is it more of, shit i wanna go to vegas, but i just cant do it now because of a million reasons you don't even need to mention? it's a freaking paradox! it always is. i know how nature would have it. we would be free spirits and journey across the venetian sky.

i hope to make my vegas one day, but i know im gonna have to put in some effort. and im determined to. there's just no two ways about it, and no whinging, as mr reeves would say. just- so- much- in- er- tia.

starting tomorrow things will change. im gonna go wild at the concerts, but i'll also ensure that before i fly in april im gonna leave with less regrets and more hope for the future. im gonna come back with a newfound purpose that was never really lost, but rather, obscured by the legions and layers of Dust that ive allowed to accumulate. and i have post-its to back me up and remind me to never forget.

speaking of forgetting i finally watched Memento today. it wasnt quite what i imagined it to be, but it was certainly better in some ways. not entirely confusing, and very intelligently crafted. i liked how we were made to look at things through his perspective with absolutely no clue of what was going on. imagine how the fella felt. turns out he wasnt really innocent after all eh. i guess, then, "a memory is really yours to choose". haha. i like how all the quotes are just flowing today. like ive been to places and read them faces ya'all! hmmm. im not sure whether i should pity lenny, or despise him. he chose to forget, even though he didnt. wow. teddy had such an irritating voice though, i couldve sworn he was the crook.

"She's gone. And the present is trivia, which I scribble down as fucking notes."

obviously i couldnt bring myself to wake up for elizabethtown but i think im just gonna get the dvd anyway. own time own target that way, which is always friendly.

there are many friends i would like to catch up with. im glad to say i'll be seeing joy at maroon 5- we'll have the most fun i assure you. and more of the gang this friday or saturday for zee's bday hopefully. must meet up with jean before i fly again because it's been ages since our last rendezvous haha. maybe supper this time, instead of tea? and i'd like to see the class! maybe step up 2 on saturday eh? how about that. and then there's sarah, always busy with the dance. and of course liyana! hope to catch her at the audition. and hello jon! newly commissioned and already hungry for dinner i see! haha next week please!

ah well. another weekend comes to a close. it's already monday for heaven's sake. i can't say ive wasted the weekend, although i feel like i have, but it was good time spent resting and doing what i wanted to do at my own time. that alone i know is precious and should never be taken for granted. but i cant help but feel that im always running to catch up with time. always losing my focus and struggling to hold on to what i should be hanging on to. hmmm. like i said. all this will change, for the better.

i feel like i should be ending this with some kinda oomph, but sometimes the actions will have to speak louder than the words. i swear.
