news of the day... goddamn cueshe (hey, that rhymes! i should make a song)
the following article was snipetted from www.philmusic.com , gotta wonder how these people live with themselves for letting things like these pass on their message boards... prepare to get angry...
"They came, they conquered…and stayed. Not just one, not two but five singles dominated the charts that led their debut album "Half Empty, Half Full" to double platinum status. Their music likewise won accolades from respected award-giving bodies. Girls want them. Guys want to be like them. Indeed, Cueshé's entry to the music scene could not be called a fad or a one-hit wonder tale but a continuing success story, defying all odds and struggles that came along the way.
Cueshé's star will sparkle once more as they are set to release their highly anticipated sophomore album "Back To Me," this coming August. It features the carrier single of the same title, now burning the airwaves of top radio stations and its music video to premiere soon on MYX. Expect a more mature Cueshé, as their music evolves with tamer guitar tracks, flowing melodies and seamless cord progressions. Though the album will be out in August, those who can't wait to own Cueshé's new album can now buy and reserve in all Odyssey and O Music outlets from July 15 to August 15. Buyers will get exclusive invites to their album launch showcase on August 15 at Robinsons Galleria Movieworld 5 plus exclusive early-bird gift items.
"Back To Me" will be released under Sony BMG Music Entertainment and is presented in cooperation with MYX, Robinsons Malls, PLDT My Music, Robinsons Movieworld, Studex and Digiprint"
could somebody please kill them? please? please? please?

dave matthews hits just right
"I am no superman; I have no answers for you..."
There used to be a boy who dreamt of holding the stars in his hand and living on the moon.There used to be someone who believed in magic and innocence and light and standing up for what was right.
Funny thing about growing up is that the more it happens, the less you actually "grow". Figuratively and literally. I do so love the delicious irony of the law of diminishing marginal utility.You set this law, you think about it, you study it, you record it and there you have something you can use to explain much of everything and anything and whatever else.
Ah, if only it were that easy...!
I'm not saying it's a bad thing.I'm just saying that it's disappointing.
I mean, cut to right now.I'm actually enjoying the first semblance of stability I've had in years, I'm actually doing okay, I'm doing great (figuratively speaking), and every cell of every inch of me is saying this is how I should have been doing things in the first place… It's not perfect (not at all, by a long shot, but relatively speaking and social conformations notwithstanding, it's better)
But you know what?
It's BORING!
I'm not going to saythat I wish I had the rumble and tumble and instability and spontaneity of yesteryear.I'm not going to say I wish I had the chance for a do over.I'm not going to say that I wish the world were full of earthquakes and typhoons and storms at hurricanes and cyclones and whatnot.I'm not going to say that I wish I was so unsure of what tomorrow will bring and wish I regretted every action of a single day.
I guess I just did.But I don't wish for it.I'm not that stupid. I still know what it felt like.I can still see my scars.I can still smell the fetid stench.I can still feel the unfulfillment and bitterness.
Funny, how the grass always seems greener as the saying goes.I guess its but human to feel this way.Or is it more than that?Why does what society deem to be appreciable and good and applaudable in general not cater to the basest of my human concepts of happiness and contentment?It's like, right now at this very moment, I'm lost in the wave of a stereotype, as opposed to me being myself when society in general touted me as a misanthrope.I was a failure when I felt good, and now that I'm feeling miserable and unfulfilled, I'm some sort of prodigal son who returned to the light.Isn't it ironic?
...or, again, is it more than that...?
I don't know, it seems I can't even hope to know... but i see my actions now and it disgusts me to no end that I could ever be so... unimaginative... so conformist... so sheeplike... so jaded... so grown up
reality bites
"you say I only hear what I want to, you say I talk so all the time..."
used to be all i want to learn, was wisdom, trust and truth..
by now all i really want to learn is forgiveness from you...
nothing really, just my sound trip these past few days... actually SAD trip, when you consider what i've been listening to (counting crows, live, collective soul, select smashing pumpkins and a little nirvana...)
oh and if mr. "afjjdp" is reading this, you can just write yer comments on the tagboard... which is one of the links to the left of this post... i think it says "forum" or something like that...
hmmm... my "non-life" is starting to get to me, i've become very antsy these past few days... irritable... irrational... i can't explain how it feels, but it feels like i'm a different person from what i was two months ago.. (in a bad way... i'm regressing into an 18 year old consciousness, which is NOT good...), i mean i had things in perspective two months ago, i was going to make it work and now all it feels is... ... ... ... ... ... ...tiring... ... ... ... ...
so well, i hope to find a few boots along the way in the next few weeks, so i can carry through with this.. my priorites are really starting to flake out, and while i'm conscious of it happening, it seems that when your hormones go gazooey, you can't really do much about it...
i'm still in class, btw, the teacher hasn't arrived yet.. ha ha ha... i just came from home... where i watched the naruto-neji battle (again)... you know, the one dealing with "fate", and how we're not bound to anything. about how we make our own destiny and how we must absolutely believe in ourselves no matter what...
...i hope i get to grow into that kind of thinking in the next few days...
"it was all that i wanted, now i'm living without...it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows..." OVERHAUL COMING UP...
