This is very true. The iPOD is a nice piece of work. It looks cool and it's got a lot of space. But for functionality, oh, well, duh. With all the restriction to music and it's filing system. It really just leaves you with a bigger headache when you spend your 20k (I know I did!) on it. What a disaster! I miss my old 20Gb I-river. It was big. It was bulky, but it didn't act like crap. The damn iPOD is really just an aesthetic tool which you can hang on your neck or show in front of your ass with a sign that says, "Steal Me. And you're gonna have a bigger headache!" Heh. Junk. Junk. Junk. I'll just sell mine and get a PS2. Hehe.

Newsflash: Whiny Guy Feels Trapped By iTunes!
Topic: iPod
Sigh.
You know, the increasing restrictions on the usage of songs and videos bought off of iTunes is beginning to wear on me. Apple needs to take a closer look at the original terms they offered, specifically the number of burned CDs allowed per setlist.
On the other hand, there are few things that make me roll my eyes further back into my head than when someone writes an ill-formed rant complaining that purchasing an iPod locks the user into buying music off of iTunes. Oh, Barry Gerber of Mobility Guru and your commentary "Who Designed This Crap? The Great Ipod (sic) Scam." This is simply untrue. Take any CD in your collection. Stick it into the drive on your computer. Click import in iTunes...VOILA! DRM-free music in either AAC or MP3 format that will play on your iPod, unlimited numbers of computers and get burned onto blank CD-R after blank CD-R, as many as you want until bed-time.
That's too many handcuffs for me. Gone are pre-Itunes (sic) rights to store songs on as many computers as you want and to burn as many copies of a commercial CD as your little heart desires. And, here's the real nasty thing about Itunes (sic) DRM. If music vendors or Apple decide to put further restrictions on your use of the songs you've already downloaded, such as by allowing no copies to CD, there's nothing legal you can do about it.
Um, what? My old MP3s don't work anymore? That's news to me. Other than ripping from CDs, the only ways to possess unrestricted music files way back when were through complimentary downloads through artist Web sites and unauthorized file-sharing. Which, last I checked, also still exist. BitTorrent and SoulSeek. Give 'em the old Google.
After trashing the Ipod (sic) I went back to using the Creative Labs 512 MB Muvo TX FM MP3 player I bought earlier in 2005. It does everything the Nano does without all its limitations and I'll never have to mess with Ipods (sic) or Itunes (sic) again. Yea, it can't legally play the Itunes (sic) files I paid for and downloaded, but who cares, I'm no longer a prisoner of Apple's icky "I" world.
To argue in favor of using a Creative or iRiver product over an iPod because the former products are free of digital rights management is like advising the purchase of a Ford over a Chevy, because you won't need to use a seatbelt on the Ford. Purchasing downloads with DRM is a choice. If you don't like it, you have two options: Buy music on non-copy-protected CDs, or circumvent DRM through file-sharing downloads or software that strips it out. Anything else is obfuscation. You want hideous terms of service? Check out Sony's original music download site.
The argument being made is not actually an iPod vs. everyone else thing. It's an uninformed commentator vs. reality thing. The author does manage to figure out that iPods don't have FM tuners, which is a missing feature, but he seems to believe the ability to connect his awkwardly named Creative player as a thumb drive is a novel feature. The iPod Shuffle. Been there, done that.
We're praying for you. Seriously.

Citi Analyst Believes French DRM Law Good For Market
Topic: iTunes
The Media Stock Blog has republished a statement from Citigroup Analyst Mark Mahaney:
Today iTunes and iPod work in a closed loop environment using Apple's proprietary DRM. Government intervention would create precedence for opening up this loop by mandating interoperability between the fragmented set of DRM solutions. We would note that this has historically been a major milestone for achieving ubiquity in other industries (such as when debit card networks struck reciprocal agreements that allowed consumers to use their debit cards a vast number of geographic locations).
It's an interesting piece, though some of the comparisons made have nothing to do with governmental regulation but rather with members of the same industry standardizing so they all grow. It also seems a bit optimistic to pretend people are going to flock to alternate MP3 players once Fairplay is opened up. The iPod is an icon; iTunes is just an interface. The hardware is revered for its ease of use, storage capacity and design. These things don't disappear over night.

Tradework for Rumored iWork Spreadsheet Might Expire
Macsimum News dug up a December notice from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to Apple warning that its trademark for "Numbers," rumored to be a spreadsheet program for iWork, would expire within six months if the mark was not put into use.
Ever since Microsoft announced it would support and update Office for Mac OS X for an additional five years at January's Macworld, the conspiratorially minded have debated whether Apple killed a product that would have put its own productivity suite into more direct competition with Microsoft.
While a spreadsheet would make up for most of the present deficiencies in iWork, I would be surprised if Apple ever had anything up its sleeve in this regard. There's certainly strong precedent for the company floating information about apparently fictitious products in order to confuse rumor-mongers, as the court case moving ahead Thursday has proven.
At least we get to find out whether this is happening any time soon by June 28. Maybe to accompany the much-anticipated iBook replacement?

Apple Expands Music Offerings To Include Tickets
Apple announced this morning that they are teaming with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Ticketmaster to offer a one-of-a-kind pre-order deal for the band's new album, "Stadium Arcadium." (iTunes URL).
Fans that pre-order the double album will receive a download of the new single, "Dani California"; immediately at the time of the pre-order. On May 9, fans participating in the pre-order will also receive additional iTunes bonus content, including an exclusive audio interview with the band, a video chronicling the making of “Dani California” and a full color digital booklet.
Fans will also get to hop into line for a pre-sale for tickets on their upcoming tour. Any efforts to tie the deal into a rebate on the purchase of a new car and 10 percent off on socks were apparently unsuccessful.
Apple also secured the rights to the complete Dave Matthews Band catalog, though, oddly enough, not the music of the Beatles. Who knows what that's about.

Poll: Vista Delay May Help Apple
Topic: Apple
A BusinessWeek poll about the Microsoft Vista delay yielded an interesting result.
BusinessWeek asked: "Will Microsoft's decision to delay the next version of the Windows operating system change your PC purchase plans?"
The biggest response by a huge margin -- more than 65 perccent -- said, "I do intend to buy a new computer -- an Apple."
The results aren't at all scientific, but it is interesting. Polls always skew toward the negative, but the Apple shift is huge. I'm guessing the poll must have been noted on a pro-Apple site somewhere and Apple fans responded en masse.
(Thanks Robin!)

Microsoft Buying Apple? Still As Crazy As It Sounds
Topic: Apple
Noted lone analyst in the wilderness Rob Enderle thinks through the possibilities of Microsoft purchasing Apple, in order to solve problems both companies are facing.
Imagine what would result if a new Apple OS was based on the new Windows kernel rather than on Unix. It would be much more acceptable to a broad cross section of companies that wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole today.
I think Enderle misunderstands the actual reason Microsoft is so firmly entrenched in big business -- it's not that their tech guys are comfortable poking around in the Windows kernel, it's that they've used Microsoft products forever and want to feel safe in its support system. If Microsoft were ever to make Mac OS X its primary operating system (perhaps under an appealing name like Windows Xista Professional Home Media Central Edition For Workgroups), it would be accepted by business, simply because it is a Microsoft OS.
Lots of shops are still running Windows 98, of course, but the majority of businesses running Windows will continue to run Windows, whatever's underneath the hood.
While Vista is turning into the Copland of Redmond, Washington, I think the biggest factor in determining whether Apple could ever play NeXT to Microsoft's Apple is ego. And Bill Gates would never humble himself enough to have Steve Jobs save his company.

MovieLink, CinemaNow Beat Apple in Movie Download Race
According to Engadget, seven major film studios, including all the heavy hitters, have decided to sell movies for download through Movielink and CinemaNow a pair of Web sites that don't support Macs, all the more reason for Apple to get busy launching movie sales through iTunes.
For all those who had been complaining about the high cost of Apple's sole "movie" download, the made-for-Disney Channel original "High School Musical," that $9.99 looks pretty good compared to some of what the other sites are offering. Movielink prices start at $8.99 but range up toward $30, which is outrageous for a video file that doesn't have any of the extras found on a DVD.
If these are the price points the movie studios are trying to back Apple toward, it's no wonder there hasn't been an announced deal yet. As the iTunes Music Store showed, the competition for retail downloads is not from brick-and-mortar stores, where people who want extras and packaging go, but with illegal downloading. When all you're paying for is legitimacy, it had better be competitive and portable.
These models aren't.

Welcome to Daylight Saving Time, Indiana. Seriously
Topic: Quickies
Residents of many counties in Indiana experienced the joy of losing an hour's sleep overnight for the very first time last night, as the entire state is now observing Daylight Saving Time. Up until today, the vast majority of the state never deviated from Eastern Standard Time, while a handful used Daylight Time and another group aligned their clocks to Chicago.
Since Indiana's arcane time system had prompted most software-makers, including Apple, to accommodate their strange rules, work-arounds and fixes to properly display the time were put in place this morning, as well. You can read Apple's Knowledge Base note on the subject. Apparently the 10.4.5 update was partially to address Daylight Saving Time changes. Sorry, Indiana Panther users; you'll have to choose Detroit or another eastern time zone city if you want to keep proper time.

April Fool -- Steve Jobs Fooled Us All
Topic: Apple
I guess Steve Jobs is chuckling to himself having fooled everyone today.
At Macworld in January, Jobs suggested Apple might do something special on April 1 - its 30th birthday.
Knowing that announcements of announcements stoke the fires of speculation, Jobs got everyone expecting something special from Apple -- but the April Fool's joke is to do nothing at all.
I know I've just spent the last three hours surfing the web for a special surpise announcement, like a new $666 Apple Uno (a kit-built computer), or a lightning "everything must got for one dollar" sale at the local Apple store.
"Ha, ha-- fooled you!" he's saying to himself.
Bastard.

More Thoughts On Apple Heroes and Villains
Topic: Apple
Thanks to all the readers for the copious feedback everyone has been sending in on the various galleries we've put together for Apple's 30th anniversary. I thought I'd take a moment to correct an oversight on my Heroes and Villains piece, offer comment on the people who were left out and to correct one persistent misconception about the article.
First, yes, I meant to refer to Apple as "lickable," not "likeable." It was a reference to when Steve Jobs said in 2000, "“We made the buttons look so good you’ll want to lick them" in OS X's Aqua interface. Apple inspires devotion, love and hate. I don't think anyone just likes them. For more famous Steve quotes, check out Owen's gallery
Secondly, I've had many people suggest people who might have or should have made the heroes list (nobody's too eager to propose additional villains, other than Steve Ballmer; Ballmer's almost too self-defeating to castigate).
Perhaps the greatest challenge I faced in creating the list was in not making it too 1984 Macintosh-centric. Yes, it was one of the best-known and most important times in the company's history, but not every important turn happened between 1979-1984. Some people just couldn't fit, which is why I regretfully left out Brian Howard, Alan Kay, Steve Capps, Chris Espinosa and many others.
I also deliberately left out any inspirations, which is why Douglas Englebart isn't on the list -- the end-point of looking that deeply is to put Alan Turing and Charles Babbage in the gallery.
I would like to add here one bonus hero, who should have been in the gallery originally -- marketeer Joanna Hoffman, the fifth member of the original Mac team and creator of the business plan for the machine. She also wrote the first draft of the Human Interface guidelines Quite famously, she convinced Steve to take a closer look at her ideas by reformating the business plan to look more like the GUI they were shooting for. She was a true Mac hero and really guided the way the Mac identity came to be. You can read more about her at Folklore.org
To check out portions of the stylish business plan, check out DigiBarn's older retrospective.

Another Apple II Lab Bites the Dust
Topic: Hardware
Vance Carruth, a third grade teacher from Huntington Beach, California, is retiring -- and his clutch of twenty Apple IIe systems will be going with him, the Mac Mothership website reports.
Even though the technology is almost thirty (30) years old, Vance's third graders fight over the chance to get use of one of these puppies.
... the school system purchased Apple IIe's for each classroom back in the 80's. In the early 90's they were replaced by IBM compatibles and most recently by Dell's. Each of the teachers were told they could take their Apple IIe home or move them to a designated storage room. Most elected to not take them home. The storage room later became Mr. Vance's classroom and he inherited the equipment. Mr. Vance decided to setup and network the desktops and has been supporting this effort with other machines that he has salvaged parts from for the last fifteen (15) years.
Now the real bad news. Mr. Carruth, (AKA Mr. Vance - Student's nickname for him) will be retiring this coming June. This comes only after 39 years of service at the same school. Once Mr. Vance has gone, there will be no other teacher to take on this support effort and the Apple IIe legacy along with Mr. Vance will vanish from Smith School.

Elvis Costello Unplugged
Topic: Apple
The old missus and I went to see Elvis Costello at San Francisco's Davies Symphony Hall a couple of nights ago. It was an odd performance.
In the first half, the Symphony performed Costello's first full-length orchestral work, Il Sogno, while Costello sat listening in the audience.
In the second half, Costello took the stage to sing a selection of downbeat, brainy tunes, mixing classical with jazz and not much pop. Backed by the San Francisco symphony, Costello's loungey songs were dour, yet he was very droll between. He's obviously a musical genius, but it's like reading late Anthony Burgess -- a lot of work and not much fun.
I've never been a Costello fan, and towards the end I was willing it to be over, but his last piece came so close to being one of the greatest concert moments I've ever experienced, it nearly salvaged what came before. But the audience ruined it.
For the last song, Costello dispensed with his microphone, and the effect of his unamplified voice in that large auditorium was astonishing and magical. Everyone craned forward to hear, and the hushed atmosphere raised the hairs on my neck. As the song reached its climax, Costello tried to get the audience to join him singing the last bars, a "hum, de hum" refrain repeated three or four times.
The first time the audience hesitated, and the second time it almost caught. It was a fantastic moment -- hundreds of people so nearly raising the roof with a lovely vocal. But unfortunately it faltered, and after a third failed attempt Costello gave up, turning instead to the orchestra to raise a rumpus.
It was a great shame, and a little depressing. He came so close, but the stuffy old octogenarians wrecked it. I wonder if he had better luck at other venues?
Costello's orchestral tour continues. See his website for details:
Honolulu, Hawaii, March 31 and April 01; Austin, Texas, April 11; Houston, Texas, April 13; Chicago, April 18; North Bethesda, April 20; Baltimore, April 21 and 22; Boston, May 10; Brooklyn, May 12; Atlanta, May 13; Tokyo, June 02; Manchester, TN, June 16; Los Angeles, June 18, 2006.

Apple Releases iPod Volume Limit Setting
In a rather preemptive move, Apple has issued a software update to address complaints (and lawsuits) that the iPod is too loud.
Apple¿ today announced a software update for the iPod¿ nano and fifth generation iPod, allowing customers to easily set their own personal maximum volume limit. The software update also gives parents the ability to set a maximum volume limit on their child’s iPod and lock it with a combination code.
“As the leading provider of digital music players, Apple continuously brings iPod customers innovative and easy to use solutions,†said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. “With the increased attention in this area, we want to offer customers an easy to use option to set their own personal volume limit.â€
Of course, some will still question the decision to release this solution only on the newest iPods, and the fact that the software update doesn't set the volume limit for users. I, for one, like the flexibility. You can get the software here And learn appropriate, safe volumes here.

Archived NCAA Games on a Mac
Topic: Software
Thanks to everyone who wrote in and commented on the streaming video thread. More than one person wrote in suggesting I try the magic combination of Firefox and Flip4Mac. I'd tried Camino, Safari and Explorer, just not Firefox. It was quite funny -- several readers just emailed me a link to Flip4Mac with a note saying they've had no problems with March Madness on Demand, and I can only assume they're all FireFox users.
Together, they were able to get working on the first try, every try. I haven't been able to test a live game, because I haven't been around for a live game at my computer since I posted. I will report back on that.
Success elsewhere was less forthcoming. All of the NBC family of Web sites, including NBC.com and , still won't work, even in Firefox. Both sites claim to require Explorer 5.5 or higher on Windows XP. After switching my user agent, the Bravo site started crashing my computer until I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox. After relaunching, the sites are still broken.
I am still interested in hearing from anyone about how to reinstall Windows Media Player without using the incredibly buggy installer, which will not run under Tiger for me.
Be sure to check out this column by PBS's Mark Glazer He's noticed the same trend, triggered by the Associated Press's shift to Internet Explorer-only streaming Windows Media content. He's been following the story for the last few weeks, and has a fairly extensive Whitelist and Blacklist for non-Internet Explorer and non-Windows streaming video. He notes a site that I didn't yet single out, MTV Overdrive, which literally requires the Windows operating system to run. Definitely give it a read.
The bigger point, to the readers who are satisfied with Windows Media support for Macs and those who aren't, is that there is plenty of extremely mainstream content that is at best inconsistent and at worst impossible to use on a Mac.
Apple is pushing harder than ever to get Windows users to buy Macs -- and it's working. A close friend of mine who has used Windows for all of his 25 years recently accepted delivery of a MacBook Pro and adores it. It's the same with the reader who prompted me to post the earlier blog entry. Their stumbling block right now is the level of streaming video service.
It's a big problem for Apple that a Windows owner lured over by a system that promises to be easier to use requires them to install three browsers for maximum compatibility, mess with things like user agents and then, in many cases, still be unable to watch something as simple as bonus video from "Project Runway." Just because we power-users have found ways to cope through work-arounds does not mean that every Mac user should be expected to.
And it really doesn't get any more mainstream than the NCAA Tournament. I feel embarrassed that I didn't try FireFox before starting the thread, but how many Mac users default to Safari or Explorer and don't really know there is anything out there? Anyway, things are where they are until Flip4Mac gets better -- it is improving with every version, but it's far from ideal. Apple evangelizing their own open streaming solution is the only thing that can make a real difference. I want to see that.

A sad reminder to things that come and go, and how things can and may never be...
When you look at me with those eyes,
I feel those parting words get stuck in my throat
The season that we ran through barefooted should have ended
It's not that I've changed, it's no one's fault in particular
It's something we knew since before we met one another
and until we fell in love.
Feelings never change they just lose their passion.
You go back your way
and I'll go on mine.
Goodbye to our days of drifting
There's no way I can forget.
I loved you so much I can't ever forget you.
when your memories of the carefree play
between a burning passion and a naive kindness
blame it on you, I too feel that pain, somewhere in a different city.
Feelings are just feelings, time just passes
how many distorted dawns will I face by myself ?
The magic power to stop time,
doesn't seem to have been within me
Why did we come this far?
We loved one another didn't we?
"I don't wanna be apart from you"
As you shushed me with your hand over my quivering mouth
You couldn't hide your tears either, because the moon lit them.
Feelings never change they just lose their passion.
You go back your way
and I'll go on mine.
Feelings never change, they don't just up and disappear.
It would be nice, if we could see each other when it's just as good old friends.
so, for now dry your tears, and smile like you always do.

"Just" friends!?!
Guys and girls being "just" friends. Not always easy, and sure as hell complicated at times. But yet, its fun. There are things that you just don't talk about with your guy friends. That's where the girl steps in, sweet, caring, sensitive - the little angels (hah!). There's also a certain playful element to these friendships that you just can't have with people of the same sex .
Here are some of the types of friendships that exist between guys and girls.
1: The Appeaser friendship
This is when the guy is head over heals for the girl. Worships the ground she walks on. Praises her all the time. Buys her gifts for no reason. Loves to secretly smell her hair. Agrees with everything she says, and does everything in his power to see that she is happy. Now and then gets a pat on the head in return. Dreams of fathering her children - will never get farther than perhaps having to baby-sit them. Might also have aspects of a Use-and-abuse friendship.
2: Leave-you-hanging friendship
Guy sees girl. Guy thinks girl is cute. Guy becomes friends with girl. Guy tells girl his feelings for her. Girl acts surprised. Girl might say "I'm not ready for a relationship right now". Girl conveniently forgets to mention that she doesn't like him in that way, and never will for that matter. Girl and guy still remain friends. Guy is hoping girl will eventually fall for him, or will become "ready" for a relationship. Never happens. Girl is just happy with the attention he lavishes on her - ego boost.
3: The Missed-Chance friendship
Guy and girl are great friends. There always was a spark, the chemistry was there. For reasons unknown to them, they always held a special place in each other's lives. No one acted upon it though, and before you know it, girl gets married. Guy is still friends with girl - thinks the world of her. Friendship grows even stronger.
4: The Relationship-that's-not-quite-a-relationship friendship
Guy and girl think they are best friends. While in actual fact, they are in a non-physical relationship. They do everything a couple does. Go to movies together, have candle-light dinners, strolls on the beach, endless phone conversations etc etc. But no one has admitted their feelings. Both are in denial that there is anything but a friendship going on. The rest of the world is sure they are going out. For the life of them, they can't understand why.
5: The Use-and-abuse friendship
Guy is in love with girl. Girl knows this and loves the power she has. Takes advantage of poor guy, who is more than happy that he can be off service to her. Girl uses guy cruelly, and the best part is, she gets him to 'volunteer' to do things for her. How?
"I have to drop off my dirty laundry to the laundromat. But I'm so tired. I wish I didn't have to go?" Followed by fluttering of the eyes.
Before you can say "use-and-abuse", guy is already racing to the laundromat with her clothes.
6: The Complain-a-friend friendship
This is where the girl only remembers the guy, when she needs to complain about something. She calls him, or meets him, simply to vent about her problems. Guy may try to slip in something about himself, but girl is too self-absorbed to realise that, and brings the topic back to her problems. Girl keeps guy in check by telling him what a great listener he is, and none of her other friends are like that. Guy gets his doggy biscuit.
7: The By-my-rules-only friendship
This friendship can be in conjunction with any of the other types of friendships. Girl will only meet guy on her terms. Girl has full rights to cancel appointments that she made herself last minute. Girl also doesn't need to return any calls made by the guy, but guy must be available at the snap of her fingers. Guy should expect nothing, except what girl decides to offer him. Take it or leave it.
8: The cozy friendship
This is when guy and girl are great friends. They're totally comfortable in each other's company, and have deep respect and trust for each other. They can speak their mind, and be at ease with silence. They don't get overly emotional, and respect each others space and time. Can talk about absolutely anything under the sun. Guy and girl don't think of each other in a romantic way - never crosses their mind. Has the potential to become ugly if one of them does start developing feelings.
9: The Hit-and-run friendship
This is an explosive friendship. Guy and girl become friends very quickly. They spend an insane amount of time together, and really dig each other's company. Guy thinks girl likes him, and is leading him on. Makes his move and professes his love for her. She runs like there is no tomorrow.
Appendix: The ex-lover friendship
This type of friendship doesn't exist. Don't fool yourselves. A guy and girl can't be just friends if they had a history together.

The first time I fell in love was long ago.
I didn't know how to give my love at all.
The next time I settled for what felt so close.
But without romance, you're never gonna fall.
After everything I've learned
Now it's finally my turn.
This is the last time I'll fall... in love.
The first time we walked under that starry sky,
there was a moment when everything was clear.
I didn't need to ask or even wonder why, because each question is answered when your near.
and I'm wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds, this is the last time i'll fall in love.
Now don't hold back, just let me know.
Could i be moving much too fast or way too slow.
'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day.
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it, I'll never be the same.
You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words.
And now that I've said them, they could never be enough.
As far as I can see, there's only you and only me.

I believe that man will go crazy without music. i believe no one can live without music. it is however taken for granted. there's always not enough share for the artists! and to think we provide the music!!! and i say that we should pirate music all the more! why? to get rid of recording companies that take artists for granted. out of the $20 cd that you buy, only 50 cents go to the artist and $2 for the production cost of the cd itself. where does everything else go? to those labels you see on the cd jackets. how do they do this? simple, by forming anI BELIEVE IN PIRACY!!! association of recording companies and agree upon a fixed price-rip-off. therefore, we should encourage file sharing with a pay-per-copy system, and the money goes straight to the artist! this way, the file sharing program companies get more sponsors, while the artists get bigger pay, and we don't get ripped off! good deal, eh?:) how about those who don't have access to modern technology? we start putting up stores which can burn you a copy of your favorite downloaded songs on a blank cd and pay them the cost, of course, this time there's an added minimal charge for the service. but you get to pick out specific songs of different artists in just one cd, no need to buy the whole package. plus, we get to provide more business opportunities with these stores. will this ever work? It's an idea, and we will never know if we don't try.

If I had a dime for every time you walked away,
I could afford to not give a shit
and buy a drink and drown the day
But your pockets, they are empty,
yeh, and mine are times two
So why not make an about-face,
and accept the love I send to you?
You're never gonna be content if you don't try,
try to see outside your line.
There you go, you did it again!
You act as if there's blinders on your eyes.
Should I apologize if what I say burns your ears and stains
your eyes?!
Oh, did I crack your shell?
When it falls away, you'll see we exist as well!
Like a bottle with the cork stuck,
your true ingredients trapped inside.
Through the cloudy glass we catch a glimpse of you,
I guess the hard shell represents your pride.
Oh, if only it could be different
we could uncover the you, you deny.
Between two, a small discrepancy,
one complicates and one simplifies.
TAKE THOSE FUCKING BLINDERS OFF YOUR EYES!!
So if I had a dime for every time you walked away,
you could bet your bottom dollar that
I'd be filthy rich by noon today!!

BODY:
A thousand eyes looking at me
But yours is the look that goes right through me and I
Cannot Hide from your stare
Should I let you in - do I dare
Some other hands have tried before
But yours is the touch that makes me want more and I
Cannot hide the urgency
To have you lying here with me.
A thousand words have tried to say
But yours are the ones that'll never fade away and I
Cannot hide from their sound
I am mesmerized spinning round and round and
Some other hearts have tried to steal mine
But yours is the one that I now hold dear
I'll do what it takes to keep you here
I'm a selfish fool and I have no fear.
A thousand times I've tried to stay
Alone by pushing you away
Time after time and tear after tear
I find myself back here with you
A thousand visions have come to me
Promising serenity
And as I struggle to find the source of this peace
I always end up with your kiss.
Suddenly in my life
There's something that's got me mystified and I
Cannot fight it but I can try
To keep the wonder of it alive.

Beneath a veil so cold,
You deeply sleep, all alone.
The melody of prayer; on the lonely fields,
a little light shined.
I watched as you dreamed.
You laughed like a child.
So dear, and yet so far -
That is the promise of our future.
That one day, on a green morning,
One day, we will make it there
Because in this wintered sky
We still believe in
Fields of Hope
On the day we were born, we were embraced.
And now we search for those gentle hands again.
The melody of prayer; one vanishes,
And all begins again; a powerless, painful continuation.
One day, to that green morning,
We'll cross through all these nights
Because that is the place each one of us searches for.
Now, within my own heart,
I want to keep you warm.
So dear, and yet so far -
In the name of peace
Fields of Hope
So dear, and yet so far -
The fields of promise
Fields of Hope

Theres something bout the way you look tonight, Theres something bout the way that i can't take my eyes off you.

[Chorus:]
It's in the way that you move me, and the way that you tease me, the way that I want you tonight.
It's in the way that you hold me, and the way that you know me, when I can't find the right words to say.
You feel it in the way, you feel it in the way.
Theres something bout how you stay on my mind, theres something bout the way that I whisper your name when I'm asleep. Oh girl no.
Maybe its the look you get in your eyes. Oh baby its the way that makes me feel to see you smile.
And the reasons they may change but what i'm feeling stays the same.

I can't put my fingers on just what it is that makes me love you, you baby.

Nothing is going the way it should
I hastily subdue these feelings of impatience
All this anxiety and nervousness is sending my heart into disorder
Just a boy hugging his knees in the midst of it all
Shivering and in tears, I repress all my regret
I cried all night, but now it seems dawn is breaking...
So, undoubtedly you're right.
Even though right now I may try to turn back
And I keep on being stubborn about it, though I know it's monotonous
I'll start walking again, this time even farther, and I won't give up
If I could get just one more chance...
I'll keep it all locked away in my heart
Until my dreams come true...
I surrendered myself to this dismal emptiness in the most critical of times
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't quite reach aiming for the shore
I had to swim for my life.
Withstanding the current, I can't even raise my voice
It could have been the end right there, but...
I don't think that love can save everything, but there's something about your smile
that somehow healed my heart, and in your lips.
I found the strength to stand up again
If only I could get just one more chance...
The flow of the river is intense even today
But I won't let go of your hand.
I'll believe in the love that's in my heart forever
Until my dreams come true...

Evergreen
L'ArcenCiel
I lie awake beside the windowsill
Like a flower in a vase
A moment caught in glass
The rays of sunlight come and beckon me
To a sleepy dreamy haze
A sense of summer days
If only I could stop the flow of time
Turn the clock to yesterday
Erasing all the pain
I've only memories of happiness
Such pleasure we have shared
I'd do it all again
This scenery is evergreen
As buds turn into leaves, the colours live and breathe
This scenery is evergreen
Your tears are falling silently
So full of joy, you are a child of spring
With a beauty that is pure
An innosence endures
You flow right through me like a medicine
Bringing quiet to my soul
Without you I'm not whole
This scenery is evergreen
I need you far too much , I long to feel your touch
This scenery is evergreen
You've always been so dear to me
This scenery is evergreen
It sorrow at the sight of seeing you so sad
This scenery is evergreen
I wish that I could dry your tears
The bells have rung, the time has come
I cannot find the words to say my last goodbye
This scenery is evergreen
You've always been so dear to me

This is the latest of my old song collection that I've been listening to lately.� There is this girl I like but her heart is with somebody else.� Maybe it's just me.�� But I love her.� Shoud I just wait for her to come to me or should I do something about it?� I just don't know.� You know who you are.
Daniel Bedingfield
"Without The Girl"
And mama told me if I want her. I gotta take it slow
You just can’t tell her, you gotta find other ways to let her know
But I don’t understand this game
This is so new to me
I wanna tell her
I wanna take her in my arms
Give her time and maybe one-day she’ll come around
And see the love I am offering
‘Cause I don’t wanna live without the girl
Heaven knows everyday I pray
That someday she will belong to me
‘Cause I don’t wanna live without the girl
She is my sunshine but her heart belongs to another man
She looks right through me, she only ever though of us as friends
But I’ll keep holding back my heart
I will not let her see
I gonna bide my time
until the day she comes to me
Give her time and maybe one-day she’ll come around
And see the love I’m offering
‘Cause I don’t wanna live without the girl
Heaven knows, everyday I pray
That someday she will belong to me
‘Cause I don’t wanna live without the girl
Give her time and maybe one-day she’ll come around
And see the love I’m offering
‘Cause I don’t wanna live without the girl

That someday she will belong to me

Song a former bandmate and I wrote and are STILL working on over too much coffee, alcohol and an ample supply of cigarettes. Hehe la lang. Just wanted to post it here. Working on the final arrangements. Whew!! :)
That afternoon a light sunshower passed by
And we were near the ocean
We ran across the wet asphalt
In the shadows of a dark beat down warehouse
We stared up and hid from the rain for a while
*You are humming to yourself, I am listening
I melody I never heard of
In such a soft voice almost fading
and soon disappearing
On the way home to the city
We were caught in a traffic jam
What we talked about being together
You probably don't remember either
The radio played a sad news of some stranger
and someone's boring ballad
You are humming a song I don't know
It's helplessly flowing around
I try to say something and I search for the words
But they all fade away
I don't remember the melody
that you were humming and I was listening to
The things we lose, the things we can protect
It's only a small difference
*Repeat

1) When kissing, make sure your eyes are closed (you can peek a little, but nothing more!).
2! ) When you are kissing someone, make sure it is not someone else's b/f or g/f!
3) You may NOT eat pizza anytime before you make out.
4) If a person is a bad kisser, you may NOT stop and leave at anytime-it's rude.
5) A person with braces may not kiss another person who has them.
6) When kissing, make sure your hands are where they're allowed (they can wander sometimes, and some people don't like that).
7) NEVER ask someone if they're a good kisser-you will either get a wrong answer, or the truth will hurt you.
8) If you were expecting more than kissing, don't complain-you will get less the next time.
9) Kissing more than one 1 person in a! day can result in you not being allowed to kiss one of
those people anymore.
10) Don't kiss someone for the first time while you are laying in their bed.

No Me Ames Lyrics
Jennifer Lopez featuring Marc Anthony.
Dime por qué lloras
De felicidad
Y por qué te ahogas
Por la soledad
Di por qué me tomas, fuerte así,
mis manos, y tus pensamientos te van llevando
Yo te quiero tanto
Y por qué será
Loco testarudo, no lo dudes más,
aunque en el futuro haya un muro enorme,
yo no tengo miedo, quiero enamorarme.
No me ames, porque pienses que
parezco diferente
Tú no piensas que es lo justo,
ver pasar el tiempo juntos
No me ames, que comprendo,
la mentira que sería.
Si tu amor no merezco, no me ames,
mas quédate otro día
No me ames, porque estoy perdido,
porque cambié el mundo, porque es el
destino, porque no se puede, somos un espejo,
Y tú así serías lo que yo
de mí reflejo
No me ames, para estar muriendo,
dentro de una guerra llena de
arrepentimientos, no me ames para estar
en tierra, quiero alzar el
vuelo, con
tu gran amor por el azul del cielo
(SHORT BREAK)
No sé qué decirte, esa es la verdad,
si la gente quiere, sabe lastimar
Tú y yo partiremos, ellos no se mueven,
pero en este cielo sola no me dejes
No me dejes, no me dejes, no me escuches,
si te digo "no me ames".
No me dejes, no desarmes,
mi corazón con ese "no me ames"
No me ames, te lo ruego, mi amargura, dèjame
Sabes bien, que no puedo, que es inútil,
que siempre te amaré
No me ames, pues te haré sufrir con este
corazòn que se llenó de mil inviernos
No me ames, para así olvidarte de tus días grises, quiero que me ames
sólo por amarme
No me ames, tú y yo volaremos,
uno con el otro y seguiremos siempre juntos
Este amor es como el sol que sale tras de la tormenta
Como dos cometas en la misma estela
-Here's the translation of the song.� NICE.
"Dont love me" >> "You don't love me"
Tell me why you're crying...
Of happiness.
And why are you drowning?
for loneliness
Tell me why you take my hands so strongly, and let your
thoughts carry you away
I love you so much
And why is that?
Crazy stubborn person, stop doubting it any longer
Even though in the future there will be a huge wall
I'm not afraid, I want to fall in love
Dont love me, because you think that
I may appear different
You dont think its right
For us to see time go by together?
Dont love me, I understand
the lie that it would be
If your love, I don;t deserve, dont love me,
just stay another day
Dont love me, because I am lost,
Because I changed the world,Because its destiny
Because it can't be, We both are like a mirror,
And you would be my own reflection
Don't love me, you would be dying
Within a war full of regrets,dont love me to be on this
Earth, I would like to throw your enormous love
thru the blue sky.
(SHORT BREAK)
I dont know what to say to you, that's the truth
When people want to, they know how to hurt
You and I will depart, they would not move,
But in this sky dont leave me alone
Dont leave me, dont leave me, dont listen to me
If I say to you "dont love me"
Dont let me. Do not disable
my heart with that "Dont love me"
Dont love me, I'm begging you, leave me with my bitternes
You know well, that I can't, that its useless,
That I will always love you
Dont love me, because I would make you suffer with this heart of mine
that was filled with a thousand winters.
Dont love me, so that way you can forget of your gray days.
I want you to love me, just to love me
Dont love me, you and I will fly,
With with the other, and we will always be together
This love is like the sun that comes out after the storm
Like 2 comets on the same path

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can dance with wildness. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it's not pretty, and if you can source your own life from its presence. It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

I'm really sorry. But this account is already full. It's a pity that yahoo only created this to have up to 250 friends. It's so not fair!!!
I have to apologize to the others that have been adding me lately. This account won't accept anymore.
So I decided to create my second account.
It is jerod_struden@sbcglobal.net
This is dedicated to my friends, who want to be my friends, and those that I tend to forget.
This is also a sort of awakening for me since my first account was more on my problems and all that. This second account will be to the new happy life I have now and those who want to be a part of it.
So add me up!!

He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven - Yeats
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread upon my dreams.

TITLE: OT and a visit to my Grandfather
DATE: 11/02/2005 06:06:41
STATUS: publish
BODY:
I was recovering from a really bad fever after finding out I was sick a couple of days ago. A good friend of mine from the office suddenly remembered me and just texted me out of the blue. She remembered me from a song she had heard on the radio. Touching.. I'm just thankful that you do still think of me at times..
Anyway, what happened then was I was talking to some of my officemates and I had mentioned to them that I had felt cold. So I closed my jacket. My throat started to hurt a couple of hours later and I was already starting to feel severe, not mild discomfort. So I asked them again, am I burning up or something? Because I was already starting to feel dizzy and somewhat queezy. Jeez, I was. So I clocked out and went to the clinic. And lo and behold I was already near 42 degrees. I was already running a fever. The nurse asked me if I wanted to rest there or go home. I told her that I would rather go home and sleep in my bed because it was much softer and more comfortable to that rickety old crap of a hospital bed they got there. Of course, I didn't say that to her literally. I was still very lucid at the time. Maybe I was. Maybe I wasn't. Who cares? So home i went.
I felt horrible. I was so full of medicine that all I could taste up to now is still tylenol or amoxylin. Bleaghh!! I could hardly sleep because of the extreme nausea I was suffering from I called in sick. I couldn't care less if it was a block off day because I wouldn't be of much use anyway with me in that condition. Big deal.
Since my shift was reverse-mid, I slept. I felt well enough to get out of bed in the afternoon. By the evening I felt strong enough to walk around. After an hour or so, I decided not to push my luck and went to sleep. I reported for my scheduled 6th day ot for today. Yes. Today. It went quite well, considering it was the beginning of the month and I preferred to start it right. Great. Just great. Relax. You're not well enough yet. So I just kept my composure long enough to get through my OT. Cool. Not bad. One, two, easy. File and printer sharing. Not bad.
So after my OT, I went home. I played with my puppies whom my brother's girlfriend named (much to my great dismay) Madeline and Pepito. Jeez. Aren't dogs only able to remember two syllables for their names or what? What they be called when they grow up? Maddy? Peppy? Cute. Real cute. Well, they are. They're Japanese Spitzes.
Afterwards I went with my brother and his girlfriend to Tomas Morato and they ate at Don Henrico's. I decided to be alone for at least an hour and do some contemplation as to what has happened in my life. It went by really fast. It's amazing if you have a pack of cigarettes on the ready. Real handy for those dull moments. A girl went up and talked to me asking to share a seat. Like ano ba? Ang luwag naman diyan sa Gloria Jean's. There were only six of us there. But what the hell. So I asked her to sit down and I chatted with her for a bit. Cute. Sexy. Whatever. Just not my type. I'm no looker. But I still get the girls. Gee? I wonder why? My brother and his girlfriend arrived and I had to say good bye to the girl who had a pained expression on her face. We exchanged numbers and I said my good byes. My brother's girlfriend just shook her head in disappointment. What did I do now?
Anyway, that aside, my brother probably felt me thinking it, so he asked if I wanted to go to Loyola. I said yes, but I suggested that we drop by the house and fetch anyone who wanted to come along. My cousin came and we brought Madeline and Pepito. And so off we went. We stayed a couple of hours in Loyola. I was talking with them and playing with the puppies who were incessantly following everywhere I went. When they fell asleep, we decided to pray. After our prayer, I asked them to wait for me for a few minutes. I wanted to be alone and talk to my grandfather. My brother saw that look in my eye, and left me alone.
As soon as I had turned my back on then, I couldn't hold my tears back any longer. I just sat in front of my grandfather's tombstone and cried. I talked to him for a few minutes and said I was sorry. I was sorry for not being what everyone expects me to be. Sorry for letting him down. Sorry for letting myself down. I told him I was tired. But I can't quit just yet. Not yet. Not just yet. It hurts just knowing that he died in front of you. It hurts knowing that there was nothing you could do. I just miss him.

Somewhere Out There
Our Lady Peace
Gravity LP
Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space
We laid underneath the stars
Strung out and feeling brave
I watched the red orange glow
I watched you float away
Down here in the atmosphere
Garbage and city lights
You've gone to save your tired soul
You've gone to save our lives
I turned on the radio
To find you on satellite
I’m waiting for this sky to fall
I’m waiting for a sign
All we are
Is all so far
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
Hope you remember me
When you're home sick
and need a change
I miss your purple hair
I miss the way you taste
I know you'll come back someday
On a bed of nails I’ll wait
I’m praying that you don’t burn out
Or fade away
All we are
Is all so far
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach

I know you're out there

But lover there’s something about you pushing me
Pulling me I saw your eyes
Fell into yesterday
An only child
Untill you let me stay
I had no one on my side
Too weak to stand
Too scared to love again
The damn has broke
My soul is spilling all over your hands
Take a look in my eyes
Lover
There’s something about your pushing me
Pulling me
That’s saying don’t go away
Ain’t never gonna be another
I see your eyes
I’ll never run away
I fell too deep in love

"Over Her"
You know I been trying to figure out
Just what's going on
Am I over her?
I been doing a lot of thinking lately
Am I over her?
And I'm really missing you
It's been 3 months, 3 hours, 3 days
Since the last time I seen your pretty face
My decision to bring this to an end
And I'm caught up in reminscing
Having faithful visions of long walks, long talks
Play fights, late nights
It's been on my mind since Valentine's
Cause I had your heart and I let it slide
I ask myself time and time again (again I'm trying to comprehend that)
Unanswered questions still (things to be are meant to end)
Am I over her? (am I over her?)
Am I over us?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her?)
I can't think straight
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love?
I was going through some things that I couldn't explain
Now my situation's taking a big change
They say the grass is greener on the other side of town
Now I'm kinda wishing you would come back around
Is she sad or is she mad?
Does she have a new man, does she have it like that?
It's been so long, thought I would've moved on
Could've been strong and picked up the telephone
I ask myself time and time again (again I'm trying to comprehend that)
Unanswered questions still (things to be are meant to end)
Am I over her? (am I over her?)
Am I over us?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her?)
I can't think straight
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love?
It's water under the bridge
But I can't seem to forget
All the plans we made, all the time we spent
Makes me reminisce
I still see your face
All this love I can't replace
Am I over (am I over)
Am I over her? (her now)
Am I over her?
Am I over us? (am I)
Am I over her? (am I over)
Tell me am I really over my my love (my love my love)
I can't think straight (my love)
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her (never gonna be over her)
Am I really over my love? (never gonna be)
No
Am I over her?
No not over her no
Ohhhhhh
Am I over her?
Am I over her? (over her)
Am I over us?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her, am I over her?)
I can't think straight (I'm not over her)
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love? (ahh oooh)
I'm not over my my my love
I'm not over my my my love
I'm not over my my my love (oh no no)
I'm not over my my my love

Fading into beautiful light

New American Classic ~What y'all think of this song? Pucha!!! Ang ganda!!!!!!~
Taking back Sunday
"We've got to get better",
I said, "it's all in your head"
We could live through these letters
or forget it all together
See the months they don't matter,
it's the days I can't take
when the hours move to minutes and I'm seconds away
Just ask the question,
come untie the knot
Say you won't care,
Say you won't care
Retrace the steps
as if we forgot
Say you won't care,
Say you won't care
You try to avoid it,
but there's not a doubt
and there's one thing I can do nothing about
Well all that we need
is just a reaction
It's too much to ask for
when there's no attraction anymore
If chasing our dreams is just a distraction
I want to remember that
I know I can't go back
Just ask the question,
come untie the knot
Say you won't care,
Say you won't care
Retrace the steps
as if we forgot
Say you won't care,
Say you won't care
You try to avoid it (you try to avoid it),
but there's not a doubt
and there's one thing I can do nothing,
there's one thing I can do nothing,
there's one thing I can do nothing about
Just ask the question (just ask the question)
come untie the knot
Say you won't care (care),
Say you won't care (care)
Retrace the steps (retrace the steps)
as if we forgot
Say you won't care (care),
Say you won't care (care)
You try to avoid it (try to avoid it),
but there's not a doubt
and there's one thing I can do nothing,
there's one thing I can do nothing,
there's one thing I can do nothing about

The Second song i found to be quite nice to be listening to to either just chill o bump and grind to in Craig David's third album, The Story Goes...
"Hypnotic"
Hmmm n no no no hey yeah no oh hey no no yeah girl
I stepped into the club
Clocked this fly girl shakin her stuff now
Lookin' so hot I could help but say yeah
Moves to make a bother wanna go there
I'm talking unbelievable
Never seen a girl quite like this before now
Trying to figure out what I gotta do
To get the chance to spend a moment with you
Cos girl you're looking so damn fly tonight
And I know I'd like to take it there alright
What you've gots breaking all of the rules
So keep doing what you're doing ooh baby
She's so hypnotic, the way she moves on the floor she's got it
The way she making me feel I shouldn't want it but his girl she's so sexy
So hypnotic got every girl up in this club trying to top it
But that don't mean that this girl is gon stop it
Oh no she's so sexy
No time for drinks at the bar even though she's got me so hot at the risk of
Losing it all, I
Don't want to be the one the fool to let her go
Think it's about time that I dropped my my cool and let her know that
She's sensational got me watchin every move and got me begging for more well
Holding back it nearly drove me crazy that's when I slid up and said girl excuse me
Mmm you're looking so damn fly tonight
Your body gives me butterflies inside
I'd really like to talk to you
So keep doin what you're doing
Ooh baby
She's so hypnotic, the way she moves on the floor she's got it
The way she making me feel I shouldn't want it but his girl she's so sexy
So hypnotic got every girl up in this club trying to top it
But that don't mean that this girl is gon stop it
Oh no she's so sexy
Thought I'd seen everything in the world
But that all changed for me tonight
From the moment I looked in your eyes girl (ooh you blew my mind)
I know it's crazy but don't get me wrong
I just gotta have you in my life girl
Your vibe's just so hypnotic?
Oh baby woo woo woo woo oh yeah
So hypnotic, the way she moves on the floor she's got it
The way she making me feel I shouldn't want it but his girl she's so sexy
So hypnotic got every girl up in this club trying to top it

In the cold depths behind the curtain,
You sleep alone.
The melodious voices of prayer,
Shines a tiny light onto the lonely fields.
I had a dream of you,
You were laughing like a child.
Familiar yet distant,
That is the future's promise.
Someday on a green morning,
Someday I will get there,
Because I believe in this desolate winter sky.
Fields of hope
I'm searching for those gentle hands,
That embraced me the day I was born.
A single voice of prayer disappears,
And I start again, continuing tryingly by myself.
Someday moving towards a green morning,
I will overcome the nights,
Because that is a place that I have to find alone.
For now, I just want to warm you with my chest.
Familiar yet distant,
The tranquility we strive for.
Fields of hope
Familiar yet distant,
The promised fields.

I just bought Craig David's new album. And this song totally rocks!!!
Never Should Have Walked Away
Craig David - The Story Goes...
"Never Should Have Walked Away"
I'd been sitting trying to figure out the reasons why
You were always goin out alone
I thought that you were meeting with some other guy
All those times you weren't at home
I was wrong but then i didn't understand
What you were tryna say to me
I thought that you were busy making other plans
And none of those included me
But then i always had to many insecurities
Why didn't i just decide to let it be?
[Chorus]
I never should've walked away
I should've been there for you babe
I know i've handled this all wrong
I swear, i didn't know
Things ain't never gonna be the same
And i know i'm the one to blame
I've gone and left you torn, baby
But i didn't know
I remember it so clear when i got the call
It was the hospital on the phone
They told me how you slipped and had a nasty fall
And would i come and take you home
Now that was bad enough but they had more to say
Felt like the words came out so slow
"I'm afraid she lost the baby but she'll be ok"
And i didn't even know
But now i see i should've been there from the start
Instead of letting it all fall apart
[Chorus]
I didn't know what was wrong
Girl i didn't know, no
I hope you know i never meant to hurt you girl
But i was way too blind to see
That you were only tryin to protect me girl
I wish you'd had more faith in me
Now i realise that i've let you down
And you had reasons to act that way
I thought that you were cheatin when you weren't around
That's why i had to walk away
But girl looking back
Inspite of all that you've been through
I'm asking is there still a chance for me and you
[Chorus (repeat)]

The Garden of Everything - Great Song!!
The Garden of Everything
Steve Conte and Maaya Sakomoto
Rahxephon OST
Here you are
Daylight's star
Made out of miracles
Perfection
Of your own
You Alone
O so incredible
Each atom
Sing to me
"Set me free
From chains of the physical"
O free me, O free me
The mirror melts
I'm somewhere else
Inside eternity
Where you on
Outstretched wings
Sing within
The Garden of Everything
Where memories
Call to me
Backward dreams?
Or phantom reality?
Call to me, they call to me
And so here we are
Lovers of Lost Dimensions
Burning supernovas of all sound and sight
Every touch, a temptation
And for every sense, a sensation
Eyes of pure
Deep azure
Quite unbelievable
The sun's daughter
You've been made
Not to fade
Quite inconceivable
Each atom sings to me
"Set me free
From chains of the physical"
O free me O free me
A love like ours
A starry flower
Through seasons and centuries
As rivers reach the sea
You'll reach me
With songs of your symmetry
A small boat
There will float
To far off coasts
The Isle of Infinity
Come with me. O come with me
Here we'll see
Love's lost tree
Made out of miracles
Emotions, crystal leaves
To cover me
And you in eternity
Each atom sing to us
Through the blood
"Love is a miracle"
Sings softly, it sing softly
And so here we are
Lovers of Lost Dimensions
Burning supernovas of all sound and sight
Every touch, a temptation
And for every sense, a sensation
And so here we are
Twin stars of brilliant brightness
Lanterns lit by life for all the depths of night
And every day will return us
To arms of the ever eternal
And so here we are
So far from earthly orbits
Burning supernovas of all sound and sight
Where every day will return us
To arms of the ever eternal

DATE: 08/25/2005 01:50:09
STATUS: publish
BODY:
The Meantime Girl
She's the one you call when you're bored because she makes you laugh.
She's the one you talk to when you're feeling down because she's willing to lend an ear and be a friend.
She's not the one you call when you need a date to your company's Christmas party, or to go dancing with on a Saturday night.
She's the one you spend time with between girlfriends, before you find "The One". You know, the one who you keep around in
the meantime.
She's not one of the guys, not a tomboy, but you don't look at her as a "real" woman, either. She's not bitchy enough, moody enough, or sexy enough to be seen in that light.
She's too laid-back, too easily amused by the same things your male buddies are amused by. She's too understanding, too comfortable; she doesn't make you feel nervous or excited the way a "real" woman does. But she's cool, and nice, and
funny, and attractive enough that when you're lonely or sexually excited and need intimate female companionship, she'll do just fine.
You don't have to wine and dine her because she knows the real you already, and you don't have any facades to keep up,
no pretenses to preserve. You're not trying to get anything of substance out of her.
She's not easy, but you know that she cares about you and is attracted to you, and that she'll give you the intimacy you need. And you know you don't have to explain yourself or the situation, that she'll be able to cope with the fact that this
isn't the beginning of a relationship or that there's any possibility that you have any real romantic feelings for her.
It won't bother her that you'll get up in the morning, put on your pants, say goodbye, and go on a date with the woman you've been mooning over for weeks who finally agreed to go out with you. She'll settle for a goodbye hug and a promise to call her
and tell her how the date went. She's just so cool . . . why can't all women be like that?!
But deep down, if you really think about it (which you probably don't because to you, the situation between the two of you isn't important enough to merit any real thought), you know that it's really not fair. You know that although she would never say it, it hurts her to know that despite all her good points and all the fun you two have, you don't think she's good enough
to spend any real time with.
Sure, it's mostly her fault, because she doesn't have to give in to your needs; she could play the hard-to-get biatch like the rest of them do, if she really wanted to.
But you and she both know that she probably couldn't pull it off. Maybe she's too short, or a little overweight, or has a big birthmark on her forehead, or works at Taco Bell. Whatever the reason, somehow life has given her a lot of really great qualities but has left out the ones that men want (or think they want) in a woman.
So she remains forever the funny friend, the steadfast companion, the secret lover, and you go on searching for your goddess who will somehow be everything you ever wanted in a woman.
You'll joke to her that she should be the best man at your wedding, and she'll laugh and make a joke about a smelly rental tux. She doesn't captivate you with her beauty, or open doors with her smile. Mainly she blends in with the crowd.
She's safe. She doesn't want to be the center of attention and turn the heads of everyone in the room. But she wants to turn someone's head. She wants to be special to someone, too.
We all do.
She has feelings. She has a heart. In fact, she probably has a bigger and better heart than any woman you've ever known because she's had a front-row seat to The Mess That Is Your Life, and she likes you anyway.
She obviously something worthwhile and redeeming you because although you've given her nothing, absolutely no reason to still be around, she is.
Your meantime girl.� Treat her right because she's probably the only one who would know you well enough to care.� And they don't stay around for very long because they too would realize the errors of being treated as such.� Maybe the guy would realize how important she is later on and find out that it is already too late...

Yeah. I know. It's true naman diba? I just hope that some guys realize that they should treat women better. They shouldn't take them for granted and respect them. It's admirable for a girl to allow herself to be treated or given attention to for the meantime, but at what cost? Your love? Your affection? You would lose theit respect because you're not treating them any better than just a simple plaything that you play with and put aside when you get a better one. It's just not right.

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go
And I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine

TITLE: The Atmosphere here at Convergys isn't happy anymore. It's grim.
DATE: 07/05/2005 11:00:25
STATUS: publish
BODY:
It's disheartening here at the office. Looking at the normally packed 27th and 26th floors. It's not as full anymore and is sometimes almost empty. After the recent POSE fiasco, several of the agents have already left. Our Senior Operations Manager John Manzano, has resigned (I think), and there are some tl's who are leaving as well. There are some rumors going around which I won't discuss. Anyway, it's understandable that it is indeed some of the agents' fault for answering the POSE surveys through the AMT tool or through other means, but let's face it. The metrics here are hard enough already. The company isn't actually taking care of us anyway. Sure, we're payed higher than most call centers, but at what price? Our schedules change weekly. Take note, WEEKLY. We don't really have much by way of amenities either. As for what else is happening, they would impose a lot of unbelievably hard goals and standards (this is a call center, what choice do we have?), which are devised, and thought of by a "middleman" company, which, by the way, has their own call center, and imposes whatever standards of theirs for us to use. I find it pointless to have a middleman who has become a competitor, to stay on for whatever tools or training that they provide for us. Management and the higher ups say that our company is one of the best, but why do we have to rely on Accenture to create a lot of this crap for us? I mean, if our training program is supposed to be so good, why don't we come up with a program of our own. We'd be much better off, and from my point of view, I think Convergys will save more money, and at the same time appease it's workforce. If they just take care of their people as they say they would, then probably those that resigned wouldn't have left and everyone would be happier.
I just don't get it. I myself am having doubts with this company. I mean, I'm okay and all, but this is not amusing anymore. Half my wave is gone, and some of the people I'm really close to have left. Everyone is saying it's not happy here anymore. It ISN'T.

Yes, it's wiser not to think of you here. I'll pretend you're already far away. Then I'll sing and I'll sing. And I'll find you once again in this ocean. Once again, I'll feel the silence again around me. The music, an ocean of violins. And I'll sing and I'll sing.
I'll meet you again someday. I know I will. Immense. Immense is knowing you're beside me.

Whew. I guess I just overreacted. It's not really something I would openly discuss. But I learned a valuable lesson today.
It's not about you being a good employee. It's not even about work.
I learned a valuable lesson on friendship. Anyway, it's regarding my previous blog. I won't bother to erase it because it is a testament to my thick headedness, or of my fear of losing a friend. Especially someone that I care and am concerned about.
I learned that even if your friend IS your ex, and you decide to become friends. It doesn't mean that it is the end of the friendship. It can be a start. A process of healing so to speak. You may have had history prior to your becoming friends now. It does not mean that you should sever all ties with this person. Sure, you broke up because of reasons like immaturity, cheating on one another, or whatever.
You learn from each other. Just like the way you learn from people everyday. You may see something bad, or good. But that's just the way it is. Who says you can't progress to a more meaningful and more profound relationship with your ex. I think I can. I don't know about the rest, but they are entitled to their own beliefs . I'm not going to expound on this one any further.
Being a friend means that you stand by that person no matter what. Even if they are wrong. You may not approve of their actions, but you still remind them of that. It's not really the issue for me, but it's one of those things that I've come to understand.
Respect them and hopefully, they'll respect you. You become friends with someone and your lives become intertwined. It doesn't matter if you've only been friends with them for a brief period of time. They become a part of you as, you, become a part of theirs.
Cheers to friendship. You never know how long or how brief (from one's own stanpoint of course!) it will last.
And thanks to the people who gave me their input, their thoughts or sentiments. Merci.

I don't know... It's difficult to let go of someone you cared so much
about. During that brief moment, believe it or not, I was happy. But
you came and turned the other way. It was as if I didn't exist... I
cared for you so much. Through the good times, and the lowest of
points of the relationship.
You seem to just notice the other people around you. I never asked to
care about you. I just did. You taught me compromise. It came to a
point that it was already unconditional for me. When I was initially
with you, I just wanted to cure you of your sadness. But as time
passed, I couldn't give you up. I had fallen in love with you.
But that wasn't meant to be. In spite of all that I tried to do, it
was never enough. You spent more time with your friends and what not,
while I was left all alone to fend for myself. Through all of the
frustration, the longing, the love, the happiness, I've decided to
let you go and turn away. It has to be the single most difficult
decision I've had to do. Work, it's nothing. My family troubles,
nothing. Losing you is more difficult. You probably won't even
bother to read this. It's okay.
I can learn to forgive you in time. But not for now. I just want to
be left alone. I want to learn to live again. To find my purpose.
Because you were everything to me. But now, I have no one. Nothing.
I'll find my happiness again. And maybe by that time, I'd have forgiven you...

This is very true. The iPOD is a nice piece of work. It looks cool and it's got a lot of space. But for functionality, oh, well, duh. With all the restriction to music and it's filing system. It really just leaves you with a bigger headache when you spend your 20k (I know I did!) on it. What a disaster! I miss my old 20Gb I-river. It was big. It was bulky, but it didn't act like crap. The damn iPOD is really just an aesthetic tool which you can hang on your neck or show in front of your ass with a sign that says, "Steal Me. And you're gonna have a bigger headache!" Heh. Junk. Junk. Junk. I'll just sell mine and get a PS2. Hehe.

Newsflash: Whiny Guy Feels Trapped By iTunes!
Topic: iPod
Sigh.
You know, the increasing restrictions on the usage of songs and videos bought off of iTunes is beginning to wear on me. Apple needs to take a closer look at the original terms they offered, specifically the number of burned CDs allowed per setlist.
On the other hand, there are few things that make me roll my eyes further back into my head than when someone writes an ill-formed rant complaining that purchasing an iPod locks the user into buying music off of iTunes. Oh, Barry Gerber of Mobility Guru and your commentary "Who Designed This Crap? The Great Ipod (sic) Scam." This is simply untrue. Take any CD in your collection. Stick it into the drive on your computer. Click import in iTunes...VOILA! DRM-free music in either AAC or MP3 format that will play on your iPod, unlimited numbers of computers and get burned onto blank CD-R after blank CD-R, as many as you want until bed-time.
That's too many handcuffs for me. Gone are pre-Itunes (sic) rights to store songs on as many computers as you want and to burn as many copies of a commercial CD as your little heart desires. And, here's the real nasty thing about Itunes (sic) DRM. If music vendors or Apple decide to put further restrictions on your use of the songs you've already downloaded, such as by allowing no copies to CD, there's nothing legal you can do about it.
Um, what? My old MP3s don't work anymore? That's news to me. Other than ripping from CDs, the only ways to possess unrestricted music files way back when were through complimentary downloads through artist Web sites and unauthorized file-sharing. Which, last I checked, also still exist. BitTorrent and SoulSeek. Give 'em the old Google.
After trashing the Ipod (sic) I went back to using the Creative Labs 512 MB Muvo TX FM MP3 player I bought earlier in 2005. It does everything the Nano does without all its limitations and I'll never have to mess with Ipods (sic) or Itunes (sic) again. Yea, it can't legally play the Itunes (sic) files I paid for and downloaded, but who cares, I'm no longer a prisoner of Apple's icky "I" world.
To argue in favor of using a Creative or iRiver product over an iPod because the former products are free of digital rights management is like advising the purchase of a Ford over a Chevy, because you won't need to use a seatbelt on the Ford. Purchasing downloads with DRM is a choice. If you don't like it, you have two options: Buy music on non-copy-protected CDs, or circumvent DRM through file-sharing downloads or software that strips it out. Anything else is obfuscation. You want hideous terms of service? Check out Sony's original music download site.
The argument being made is not actually an iPod vs. everyone else thing. It's an uninformed commentator vs. reality thing. The author does manage to figure out that iPods don't have FM tuners, which is a missing feature, but he seems to believe the ability to connect his awkwardly named Creative player as a thumb drive is a novel feature. The iPod Shuffle. Been there, done that.
We're praying for you. Seriously.

Citi Analyst Believes French DRM Law Good For Market
Topic: iTunes
The Media Stock Blog has republished a statement from Citigroup Analyst Mark Mahaney:
Today iTunes and iPod work in a closed loop environment using Apple's proprietary DRM. Government intervention would create precedence for opening up this loop by mandating interoperability between the fragmented set of DRM solutions. We would note that this has historically been a major milestone for achieving ubiquity in other industries (such as when debit card networks struck reciprocal agreements that allowed consumers to use their debit cards a vast number of geographic locations).
It's an interesting piece, though some of the comparisons made have nothing to do with governmental regulation but rather with members of the same industry standardizing so they all grow. It also seems a bit optimistic to pretend people are going to flock to alternate MP3 players once Fairplay is opened up. The iPod is an icon; iTunes is just an interface. The hardware is revered for its ease of use, storage capacity and design. These things don't disappear over night.

Tradework for Rumored iWork Spreadsheet Might Expire
Macsimum News dug up a December notice from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to Apple warning that its trademark for "Numbers," rumored to be a spreadsheet program for iWork, would expire within six months if the mark was not put into use.
Ever since Microsoft announced it would support and update Office for Mac OS X for an additional five years at January's Macworld, the conspiratorially minded have debated whether Apple killed a product that would have put its own productivity suite into more direct competition with Microsoft.
While a spreadsheet would make up for most of the present deficiencies in iWork, I would be surprised if Apple ever had anything up its sleeve in this regard. There's certainly strong precedent for the company floating information about apparently fictitious products in order to confuse rumor-mongers, as the court case moving ahead Thursday has proven.
At least we get to find out whether this is happening any time soon by June 28. Maybe to accompany the much-anticipated iBook replacement?

Apple Expands Music Offerings To Include Tickets
Apple announced this morning that they are teaming with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Ticketmaster to offer a one-of-a-kind pre-order deal for the band's new album, "Stadium Arcadium." (iTunes URL).
Fans that pre-order the double album will receive a download of the new single, "Dani California"; immediately at the time of the pre-order. On May 9, fans participating in the pre-order will also receive additional iTunes bonus content, including an exclusive audio interview with the band, a video chronicling the making of “Dani California” and a full color digital booklet.
Fans will also get to hop into line for a pre-sale for tickets on their upcoming tour. Any efforts to tie the deal into a rebate on the purchase of a new car and 10 percent off on socks were apparently unsuccessful.
Apple also secured the rights to the complete Dave Matthews Band catalog, though, oddly enough, not the music of the Beatles. Who knows what that's about.

Poll: Vista Delay May Help Apple
Topic: Apple
A BusinessWeek poll about the Microsoft Vista delay yielded an interesting result.
BusinessWeek asked: "Will Microsoft's decision to delay the next version of the Windows operating system change your PC purchase plans?"
The biggest response by a huge margin -- more than 65 perccent -- said, "I do intend to buy a new computer -- an Apple."
The results aren't at all scientific, but it is interesting. Polls always skew toward the negative, but the Apple shift is huge. I'm guessing the poll must have been noted on a pro-Apple site somewhere and Apple fans responded en masse.
(Thanks Robin!)

Microsoft Buying Apple? Still As Crazy As It Sounds
Topic: Apple
Noted lone analyst in the wilderness Rob Enderle thinks through the possibilities of Microsoft purchasing Apple, in order to solve problems both companies are facing.
Imagine what would result if a new Apple OS was based on the new Windows kernel rather than on Unix. It would be much more acceptable to a broad cross section of companies that wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole today.
I think Enderle misunderstands the actual reason Microsoft is so firmly entrenched in big business -- it's not that their tech guys are comfortable poking around in the Windows kernel, it's that they've used Microsoft products forever and want to feel safe in its support system. If Microsoft were ever to make Mac OS X its primary operating system (perhaps under an appealing name like Windows Xista Professional Home Media Central Edition For Workgroups), it would be accepted by business, simply because it is a Microsoft OS.
Lots of shops are still running Windows 98, of course, but the majority of businesses running Windows will continue to run Windows, whatever's underneath the hood.
While Vista is turning into the Copland of Redmond, Washington, I think the biggest factor in determining whether Apple could ever play NeXT to Microsoft's Apple is ego. And Bill Gates would never humble himself enough to have Steve Jobs save his company.

MovieLink, CinemaNow Beat Apple in Movie Download Race
According to Engadget, seven major film studios, including all the heavy hitters, have decided to sell movies for download through Movielink and CinemaNow a pair of Web sites that don't support Macs, all the more reason for Apple to get busy launching movie sales through iTunes.
For all those who had been complaining about the high cost of Apple's sole "movie" download, the made-for-Disney Channel original "High School Musical," that $9.99 looks pretty good compared to some of what the other sites are offering. Movielink prices start at $8.99 but range up toward $30, which is outrageous for a video file that doesn't have any of the extras found on a DVD.
If these are the price points the movie studios are trying to back Apple toward, it's no wonder there hasn't been an announced deal yet. As the iTunes Music Store showed, the competition for retail downloads is not from brick-and-mortar stores, where people who want extras and packaging go, but with illegal downloading. When all you're paying for is legitimacy, it had better be competitive and portable.
These models aren't.

Welcome to Daylight Saving Time, Indiana. Seriously
Topic: Quickies
Residents of many counties in Indiana experienced the joy of losing an hour's sleep overnight for the very first time last night, as the entire state is now observing Daylight Saving Time. Up until today, the vast majority of the state never deviated from Eastern Standard Time, while a handful used Daylight Time and another group aligned their clocks to Chicago.
Since Indiana's arcane time system had prompted most software-makers, including Apple, to accommodate their strange rules, work-arounds and fixes to properly display the time were put in place this morning, as well. You can read Apple's Knowledge Base note on the subject. Apparently the 10.4.5 update was partially to address Daylight Saving Time changes. Sorry, Indiana Panther users; you'll have to choose Detroit or another eastern time zone city if you want to keep proper time.

April Fool -- Steve Jobs Fooled Us All
Topic: Apple
I guess Steve Jobs is chuckling to himself having fooled everyone today.
At Macworld in January, Jobs suggested Apple might do something special on April 1 - its 30th birthday.
Knowing that announcements of announcements stoke the fires of speculation, Jobs got everyone expecting something special from Apple -- but the April Fool's joke is to do nothing at all.
I know I've just spent the last three hours surfing the web for a special surpise announcement, like a new $666 Apple Uno (a kit-built computer), or a lightning "everything must got for one dollar" sale at the local Apple store.
"Ha, ha-- fooled you!" he's saying to himself.
Bastard.

More Thoughts On Apple Heroes and Villains
Topic: Apple
Thanks to all the readers for the copious feedback everyone has been sending in on the various galleries we've put together for Apple's 30th anniversary. I thought I'd take a moment to correct an oversight on my Heroes and Villains piece, offer comment on the people who were left out and to correct one persistent misconception about the article.
First, yes, I meant to refer to Apple as "lickable," not "likeable." It was a reference to when Steve Jobs said in 2000, "“We made the buttons look so good you’ll want to lick them" in OS X's Aqua interface. Apple inspires devotion, love and hate. I don't think anyone just likes them. For more famous Steve quotes, check out Owen's gallery
Secondly, I've had many people suggest people who might have or should have made the heroes list (nobody's too eager to propose additional villains, other than Steve Ballmer; Ballmer's almost too self-defeating to castigate).
Perhaps the greatest challenge I faced in creating the list was in not making it too 1984 Macintosh-centric. Yes, it was one of the best-known and most important times in the company's history, but not every important turn happened between 1979-1984. Some people just couldn't fit, which is why I regretfully left out Brian Howard, Alan Kay, Steve Capps, Chris Espinosa and many others.
I also deliberately left out any inspirations, which is why Douglas Englebart isn't on the list -- the end-point of looking that deeply is to put Alan Turing and Charles Babbage in the gallery.
I would like to add here one bonus hero, who should have been in the gallery originally -- marketeer Joanna Hoffman, the fifth member of the original Mac team and creator of the business plan for the machine. She also wrote the first draft of the Human Interface guidelines Quite famously, she convinced Steve to take a closer look at her ideas by reformating the business plan to look more like the GUI they were shooting for. She was a true Mac hero and really guided the way the Mac identity came to be. You can read more about her at Folklore.org

Another Apple II Lab Bites the Dust
Topic: Hardware
Vance Carruth, a third grade teacher from Huntington Beach, California, is retiring -- and his clutch of twenty Apple IIe systems will be going with him, the Mac Mothership website reports.
Even though the technology is almost thirty (30) years old, Vance's third graders fight over the chance to get use of one of these puppies.
... the school system purchased Apple IIe's for each classroom back in the 80's. In the early 90's they were replaced by IBM compatibles and most recently by Dell's. Each of the teachers were told they could take their Apple IIe home or move them to a designated storage room. Most elected to not take them home. The storage room later became Mr. Vance's classroom and he inherited the equipment. Mr. Vance decided to setup and network the desktops and has been supporting this effort with other machines that he has salvaged parts from for the last fifteen (15) years.
Now the real bad news. Mr. Carruth, (AKA Mr. Vance - Student's nickname for him) will be retiring this coming June. This comes only after 39 years of service at the same school. Once Mr. Vance has gone, there will be no other teacher to take on this support effort and the Apple IIe legacy along with Mr. Vance will vanish from Smith School.

Elvis Costello Unplugged
Topic: Apple
The old missus and I went to see Elvis Costello at San Francisco's Davies Symphony Hall a couple of nights ago. It was an odd performance.
In the first half, the Symphony performed Costello's first full-length orchestral work, Il Sogno, while Costello sat listening in the audience.
In the second half, Costello took the stage to sing a selection of downbeat, brainy tunes, mixing classical with jazz and not much pop. Backed by the San Francisco symphony, Costello's loungey songs were dour, yet he was very droll between. He's obviously a musical genius, but it's like reading late Anthony Burgess -- a lot of work and not much fun.
I've never been a Costello fan, and towards the end I was willing it to be over, but his last piece came so close to being one of the greatest concert moments I've ever experienced, it nearly salvaged what came before. But the audience ruined it.
For the last song, Costello dispensed with his microphone, and the effect of his unamplified voice in that large auditorium was astonishing and magical. Everyone craned forward to hear, and the hushed atmosphere raised the hairs on my neck. As the song reached its climax, Costello tried to get the audience to join him singing the last bars, a "hum, de hum" refrain repeated three or four times.
The first time the audience hesitated, and the second time it almost caught. It was a fantastic moment -- hundreds of people so nearly raising the roof with a lovely vocal. But unfortunately it faltered, and after a third failed attempt Costello gave up, turning instead to the orchestra to raise a rumpus.
It was a great shame, and a little depressing. He came so close, but the stuffy old octogenarians wrecked it. I wonder if he had better luck at other venues?
Costello's orchestral tour continues. See his website for details:
Honolulu, Hawaii, March 31 and April 01; Austin, Texas, April 11; Houston, Texas, April 13; Chicago, April 18; North Bethesda, April 20; Baltimore, April 21 and 22; Boston, May 10; Brooklyn, May 12; Atlanta, May 13; Tokyo, June 02; Manchester, TN, June 16; Los Angeles, June 18, 2006.

An Apple Tree
Topic: Hardware
There's no explanation what this Apple tree is about, except it's described as "bad art," and I must say I agree.
Oddly, there's some pretty good hardware hanging from the branches. Must be a college or something... The old multicolored iMacs sure are fruity.

Apple Releases iPod Volume Limit Setting
In a rather preemptive move, Apple has issued a software update to address complaints (and lawsuits) that the iPod is too loud.
Apple¿ today announced a software update for the iPod¿ nano and fifth generation iPod, allowing customers to easily set their own personal maximum volume limit. The software update also gives parents the ability to set a maximum volume limit on their child’s iPod and lock it with a combination code.
“As the leading provider of digital music players, Apple continuously brings iPod customers innovative and easy to use solutions,†said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. “With the increased attention in this area, we want to offer customers an easy to use option to set their own personal volume limit.â€
Of course, some will still question the decision to release this solution only on the newest iPods, and the fact that the software update doesn't set the volume limit for users. I, for one, like the flexibility. You can get the software here And learn appropriate, safe volumes here.

World's Oldest WiFi-driven Web Server
Topic: Quickies
Another for the "Because I Can!" category. A reader named Dale pointed me to his Web and FTP sites, which are powered by a Powerbook 540c, running on 12 MB of ram in a dual-boot of OS 8.1 and 7.5. Cutting edge! The Web site is quite perky, and is running on WiFi he's hacked together. Check it out in Netscape 2.1 if at all possible. Lo-fi sites are the best.

Archived NCAA Games on a Mac
Topic: Software
Thanks to everyone who wrote in and commented on the streaming video thread. More than one person wrote in suggesting I try the magic combination of Firefox and Flip4Mac. I'd tried Camino, Safari and Explorer, just not Firefox. It was quite funny -- several readers just emailed me a link to Flip4Mac with a note saying they've had no problems with March Madness on Demand, and I can only assume they're all FireFox users.
Together, they were able to get working on the first try, every try. I haven't been able to test a live game, because I haven't been around for a live game at my computer since I posted. I will report back on that.
Success elsewhere was less forthcoming. All of the NBC family of Web sites, including NBC.com and , still won't work, even in Firefox. Both sites claim to require Explorer 5.5 or higher on Windows XP. After switching my user agent, the Bravo site started crashing my computer until I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox. After relaunching, the sites are still broken.
I am still interested in hearing from anyone about how to reinstall Windows Media Player without using the incredibly buggy installer, which will not run under Tiger for me.
Be sure to check out this column by PBS's Mark Glazer He's noticed the same trend, triggered by the Associated Press's shift to Internet Explorer-only streaming Windows Media content. He's been following the story for the last few weeks, and has a fairly extensive Whitelist and Blacklist for non-Internet Explorer and non-Windows streaming video. He notes a site that I didn't yet single out, MTV Overdrive, which literally requires the Windows operating system to run. Definitely give it a read.
The bigger point, to the readers who are satisfied with Windows Media support for Macs and those who aren't, is that there is plenty of extremely mainstream content that is at best inconsistent and at worst impossible to use on a Mac.
Apple is pushing harder than ever to get Windows users to buy Macs -- and it's working. A close friend of mine who has used Windows for all of his 25 years recently accepted delivery of a MacBook Pro and adores it. It's the same with the reader who prompted me to post the earlier blog entry. Their stumbling block right now is the level of streaming video service.
It's a big problem for Apple that a Windows owner lured over by a system that promises to be easier to use requires them to install three browsers for maximum compatibility, mess with things like user agents and then, in many cases, still be unable to watch something as simple as bonus video from "Project Runway." Just because we power-users have found ways to cope through work-arounds does not mean that every Mac user should be expected to.
And it really doesn't get any more mainstream than the NCAA Tournament. I feel embarrassed that I didn't try FireFox before starting the thread, but how many Mac users default to Safari or Explorer and don't really know there is anything out there? Anyway, things are where they are until Flip4Mac gets better -- it is improving with every version, but it's far from ideal. Apple evangelizing their own open streaming solution is the only thing that can make a real difference. I want to see that.

A sad reminder to things that come and go, and how things can and may never be...
When you look at me with those eyes,
I feel those parting words get stuck in my throat
The season that we ran through barefooted should have ended
It's not that I've changed, it's no one's fault in particular
It's something we knew since before we met one another
and until we fell in love.
Feelings never change they just lose their passion.
You go back your way
and I'll go on mine.
Goodbye to our days of drifting
There's no way I can forget.
I loved you so much I can't ever forget you.
when your memories of the carefree play
between a burning passion and a naive kindness
blame it on you, I too feel that pain, somewhere in a different city.
Feelings are just feelings, time just passes
how many distorted dawns will I face by myself ?
The magic power to stop time,
doesn't seem to have been within me
Why did we come this far?
We loved one another didn't we?
"I don't wanna be apart from you"
As you shushed me with your hand over my quivering mouth
You couldn't hide your tears either, because the moon lit them.
Feelings never change they just lose their passion.
You go back your way
and I'll go on mine.
Feelings never change, they don't just up and disappear.
It would be nice, if we could see each other when it's just as good old friends.
so, for now dry your tears, and smile like you always do.

However we still don’t know each other.
Only a heart beat away,
But your heart is forever hard to grasp...
For you, I’ve cried, been hurt, but those were nothing
But I want to inform you if we’ve ever cared about each other?
Too many ‘ifs’ gives a negative type of outcome
It seems friends has a bit more than the other.
For me, you’ve laughed, kissed but you are not happy,
But I can’t enter your heart’s knot (can’t enter your heart’s knot)

Forwarded Message from Sky (luv ya sis!)
"Just" friends!?!
Guys and girls being "just" friends. Not always easy, and sure as hell complicated at times. But yet, its fun. There are things that you just don't talk about with your guy friends. That's where the girl steps in, sweet, caring, sensitive - the little angels (hah!). There's also a certain playful element to these friendships that you just can't have with people of the same sex .
Here are some of the types of friendships that exist between guys and girls.
1: The Appeaser friendship
This is when the guy is head over heals for the girl. Worships the ground she walks on. Praises her all the time. Buys her gifts for no reason. Loves to secretly smell her hair. Agrees with everything she says, and does everything in his power to see that she is happy. Now and then gets a pat on the head in return. Dreams of fathering her children - will never get farther than perhaps having to baby-sit them. Might also have aspects of a Use-and-abuse friendship.
2: Leave-you-hanging friendship
Guy sees girl. Guy thinks girl is cute. Guy becomes friends with girl. Guy tells girl his feelings for her. Girl acts surprised. Girl might say "I'm not ready for a relationship right now". Girl conveniently forgets to mention that she doesn't like him in that way, and never will for that matter. Girl and guy still remain friends. Guy is hoping girl will eventually fall for him, or will become "ready" for a relationship. Never happens. Girl is just happy with the attention he lavishes on her - ego boost.
3: The Missed-Chance friendship
Guy and girl are great friends. There always was a spark, the chemistry was there. For reasons unknown to them, they always held a special place in each other's lives. No one acted upon it though, and before you know it, girl gets married. Guy is still friends with girl - thinks the world of her. Friendship grows even stronger.
4: The Relationship-that's-not-quite-a-relationship friendship
Guy and girl think they are best friends. While in actual fact, they are in a non-physical relationship. They do everything a couple does. Go to movies together, have candle-light dinners, strolls on the beach, endless phone conversations etc etc. But no one has admitted their feelings. Both are in denial that there is anything but a friendship going on. The rest of the world is sure they are going out. For the life of them, they can't understand why.
5: The Use-and-abuse friendship
Guy is in love with girl. Girl knows this and loves the power she has. Takes advantage of poor guy, who is more than happy that he can be off service to her. Girl uses guy cruelly, and the best part is, she gets him to 'volunteer' to do things for her. How?
"I have to drop off my dirty laundry to the laundromat. But I'm so tired. I wish I didn't have to go?" Followed by fluttering of the eyes.
Before you can say "use-and-abuse", guy is already racing to the laundromat with her clothes.
6: The Complain-a-friend friendship
This is where the girl only remembers the guy, when she needs to complain about something. She calls him, or meets him, simply to vent about her problems. Guy may try to slip in something about himself, but girl is too self-absorbed to realise that, and brings the topic back to her problems. Girl keeps guy in check by telling him what a great listener he is, and none of her other friends are like that. Guy gets his doggy biscuit.
7: The By-my-rules-only friendship
This friendship can be in conjunction with any of the other types of friendships. Girl will only meet guy on her terms. Girl has full rights to cancel appointments that she made herself last minute. Girl also doesn't need to return any calls made by the guy, but guy must be available at the snap of her fingers. Guy should expect nothing, except what girl decides to offer him. Take it or leave it.
8: The cozy friendship
This is when guy and girl are great friends. They're totally comfortable in each other's company, and have deep respect and trust for each other. They can speak their mind, and be at ease with silence. They don't get overly emotional, and respect each others space and time. Can talk about absolutely anything under the sun. Guy and girl don't think of each other in a romantic way - never crosses their mind. Has the potential to become ugly if one of them does start developing feelings.
9: The Hit-and-run friendship
This is an explosive friendship. Guy and girl become friends very quickly. They spend an insane amount of time together, and really dig each other's company. Guy thinks girl likes him, and is leading him on. Makes his move and professes his love for her. She runs like there is no tomorrow.
Appendix: The ex-lover friendship
This type of friendship doesn't exist. Don't fool yourselves. A guy and girl can't be just friends if they had a history together.

The first time I fell in love was long ago.
I didn't know how to give my love at all.
The next time I settled for what felt so close.
But without romance, you're never gonna fall.
After everything I've learned
Now it's finally my turn.
This is the last time I'll fall... in love.
The first time we walked under that starry sky,
there was a moment when everything was clear.
I didn't need to ask or even wonder why, because each question is answered when your near.
and I'm wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds, this is the last time i'll fall in love.
Now don't hold back, just let me know.
Could i be moving much too fast or way too slow.
'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day.
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it, I'll never be the same.
You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words.
And now that I've said them, they could never be enough.
As far as I can see, there's only you and only me.

I believe that man will go crazy without music. i believe no one can live without music. it is however taken for granted. there's always not enough share for the artists! and to think we provide the music!!! and i say that we should pirate music all the more! why? to get rid of recording companies that take artists for granted. out of the $20 cd that you buy, only 50 cents go to the artist and $2 for the production cost of the cd itself. where does everything else go? to those labels you see on the cd jackets. how do they do this? simple, by forming anI BELIEVE IN PIRACY!!! association of recording companies and agree upon a fixed price-rip-off. therefore, we should encourage file sharing with a pay-per-copy system, and the money goes straight to the artist! this way, the file sharing program companies get more sponsors, while the artists get bigger pay, and we don't get ripped off! good deal, eh?:) how about those who don't have access to modern technology? we start putting up stores which can burn you a copy of your favorite downloaded songs on a blank cd and pay them the cost, of course, this time there's an added minimal charge for the service. but you get to pick out specific songs of different artists in just one cd, no need to buy the whole package. plus, we get to provide more business opportunities with these stores. will this ever work? It's an idea, and we will never know if we don't try.

You're never gonna be content if you don't try,
try to see outside your line.
There you go, you did it again!
You act as if there's blinders on your eyes.
Should I apologize if what I say burns your ears and stains
your eyes?!
Oh, did I crack your shell?
When it falls away, you'll see we exist as well!
Like a bottle with the cork stuck,
your true ingredients trapped inside.
Through the cloudy glass we catch a glimpse of you,
I guess the hard shell represents your pride.
Oh, if only it could be different
we could uncover the you, you deny.
Between two, a small discrepancy,
one complicates and one simplifies.

A thousand eyes looking at me
But yours is the look that goes right through me and I
Cannot Hide from your stare
Should I let you in - do I dare
Some other hands have tried before
But yours is the touch that makes me want more and I
Cannot hide the urgency
To have you lying here with me.
A thousand words have tried to say
But yours are the ones that'll never fade away and I
Cannot hide from their sound
I am mesmerized spinning round and round and
Some other hearts have tried to steal mine
But yours is the one that I now hold dear
I'll do what it takes to keep you here
I'm a selfish fool and I have no fear.
A thousand times I've tried to stay
Alone by pushing you away
Time after time and tear after tear
I find myself back here with you
A thousand visions have come to me
Promising serenity
And as I struggle to find the source of this peace
I always end up with your kiss.
Suddenly in my life
There's something that's got me mystified and I
Cannot fight it but I can try
To keep the wonder of it alive.

So, undoubtedly you're right.

Turn the clock to yesterday
Erasing all the pain

Such pleasure we have shared

This scenery is evergreen
As buds turn into leaves, the colours live and breathe
This scenery is evergreen
Your tears are falling silently
So full of joy, you are a child of spring
With a beauty that is pure
An innosence endures
You flow right through me like a medicine
Bringing quiet to my soul
Without you I'm not whole
This scenery is evergreen
I need you far too much , I long to feel your touch
This scenery is evergreen
You've always been so dear to me
This scenery is evergreen
It sorrow at the sight of seeing you so sad
This scenery is evergreen
I wish that I could dry your tears
The bells have rung, the time has come
I cannot find the words to say my last goodbye
This scenery is evergreen
You've always been so dear to me

Ocean Avenue
Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you
You are my only, my only one
Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone
And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you
You are my only my only one
Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note for you my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go and you will find someone
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one, no one like you
You are my only, my only one
My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only, my only one

I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from.
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by a identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice?
I can't be the only one who's learned.

Song a former bandmate and I wrote and are STILL working on over too much coffee, alcohol and an ample supply of cigarettes. Hehe la lang. Just wanted to post it here. Working on the final arrangements. Whew!! :)
That afternoon a light sunshower passed by
And we were near the ocean
We ran across the wet asphalt
In the shadows of a dark beat down warehouse
We stared up and hid from the rain for a while
*You are humming to yourself, I am listening
I melody I never heard of
In such a soft voice almost fading
and soon disappearing
On the way home to the city
We were caught in a traffic jam
What we talked about being together
You probably don't remember either
The radio played a sad news of some stranger
and someone's boring ballad
You are humming a song I don't know
It's helplessly flowing around
I try to say something and I search for the words
But they all fade away
I don't remember the melody
that you were humming and I was listening to
The things we lose, the things we can protect
It's only a small difference
*Repeat

1) When kissing, make sure your eyes are closed (you can peek a little, but nothing more!).
2! ) When you are kissing someone, make sure it is not someone else's b/f or g/f!
3) You may NOT eat pizza anytime before you make out.
4) If a person is a bad kisser, you may NOT stop and leave at anytime-it's rude.
5) A person with braces may not kiss another person who has them.
6) When kissing, make sure your hands are where they're allowed (they can wander sometimes, and some people don't like that).
7) NEVER ask someone if they're a good kisser-you will either get a wrong answer, or the truth will hurt you.
8) If you were expecting more than kissing, don't complain-you will get less the next time.
9) Kissing more than one 1 person in a! day can result in you not being allowed to kiss one of
those people anymore.
10) Don't kiss someone for the first time while you are laying in their bed.

No Me Ames Lyrics
Jennifer Lopez featuring Marc Anthony.
Dime por qué lloras
De felicidad
Y por qué te ahogas
Por la soledad
Di por qué me tomas, fuerte así,
mis manos, y tus pensamientos te van llevando
Yo te quiero tanto
Y por qué será
Loco testarudo, no lo dudes más,
aunque en el futuro haya un muro enorme,
yo no tengo miedo, quiero enamorarme.
No me ames, porque pienses que
parezco diferente
Tú no piensas que es lo justo,
ver pasar el tiempo juntos
No me ames, que comprendo,
la mentira que sería.
Si tu amor no merezco, no me ames,
mas quédate otro día
No me ames, porque estoy perdido,
porque cambié el mundo, porque es el
destino, porque no se puede, somos un espejo,
Y tú así serías lo que yo
de mí reflejo
No me ames, para estar muriendo,
dentro de una guerra llena de
arrepentimientos, no me ames para estar
en tierra, quiero alzar el
vuelo, con
tu gran amor por el azul del cielo
(SHORT BREAK)
No sé qué decirte, esa es la verdad,
si la gente quiere, sabe lastimar
Tú y yo partiremos, ellos no se mueven,
pero en este cielo sola no me dejes
No me dejes, no me dejes, no me escuches,
si te digo "no me ames".
No me dejes, no desarmes,
mi corazón con ese "no me ames"
No me ames, te lo ruego, mi amargura, dèjame
Sabes bien, que no puedo, que es inútil,
que siempre te amaré
No me ames, pues te haré sufrir con este
corazòn que se llenó de mil inviernos
No me ames, para así olvidarte de tus días grises, quiero que me ames
sólo por amarme
No me ames, tú y yo volaremos,
uno con el otro y seguiremos siempre juntos
Este amor es como el sol que sale tras de la tormenta
Como dos cometas en la misma estela
-Here's the translation of the song.� NICE.
"Dont love me" >> "You don't love me"
Tell me why you're crying...
Of happiness.
And why are you drowning?
for loneliness
Tell me why you take my hands so strongly, and let your
thoughts carry you away
I love you so much
And why is that?
Crazy stubborn person, stop doubting it any longer
Even though in the future there will be a huge wall
I'm not afraid, I want to fall in love
Dont love me, because you think that
I may appear different
You dont think its right
For us to see time go by together?
Dont love me, I understand
the lie that it would be
If your love, I don;t deserve, dont love me,
just stay another day
Dont love me, because I am lost,
Because I changed the world,Because its destiny
Because it can't be, We both are like a mirror,
And you would be my own reflection
Don't love me, you would be dying
Within a war full of regrets,dont love me to be on this
Earth, I would like to throw your enormous love
thru the blue sky.
(SHORT BREAK)
I dont know what to say to you, that's the truth
When people want to, they know how to hurt
You and I will depart, they would not move,
But in this sky dont leave me alone
Dont leave me, dont leave me, dont listen to me
If I say to you "dont love me"
Dont let me. Do not disable
my heart with that "Dont love me"
Dont love me, I'm begging you, leave me with my bitternes
You know well, that I can't, that its useless,
That I will always love you
Dont love me, because I would make you suffer with this heart of mine
that was filled with a thousand winters.
Dont love me, so that way you can forget of your gray days.
I want you to love me, just to love me
Dont love me, you and I will fly,
With with the other, and we will always be together
This love is like the sun that comes out after the storm
Like 2 comets on the same path

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can dance with wildness. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it's not pretty, and if you can source your own life from its presence. It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

I have to apologize to the others that have been adding me lately. This account won't accept anymore.
So I decided to create my second account.
It is jerod_struden@sbcglobal.net
This is dedicated to my friends, who want to be my friends, and those that I tend to forget.
This is also a sort of awakening for me since my first account was more on my problems and all that. This second account will be to the new happy life I have now and those who want to be a part of it.

TITLE: OT and a visit to my Grandfather
DATE: 11/02/2005 06:06:41
STATUS: publish
BODY:
I was recovering from a really bad fever after finding out I was sick a couple of days ago. A good friend of mine from the office suddenly remembered me and just texted me out of the blue. She remembered me from a song she had heard on the radio. Touching.. I'm just thankful that you do still think of me at times..
Anyway, what happened then was I was talking to some of my officemates and I had mentioned to them that I had felt cold. So I closed my jacket. My throat started to hurt a couple of hours later and I was already starting to feel severe, not mild discomfort. So I asked them again, am I burning up or something? Because I was already starting to feel dizzy and somewhat queezy. Jeez, I was. So I clocked out and went to the clinic. And lo and behold I was already near 42 degrees. I was already running a fever. The nurse asked me if I wanted to rest there or go home. I told her that I would rather go home and sleep in my bed because it was much softer and more comfortable to that rickety old crap of a hospital bed they got there. Of course, I didn't say that to her literally. I was still very lucid at the time. Maybe I was. Maybe I wasn't. Who cares? So home i went.
I felt horrible. I was so full of medicine that all I could taste up to now is still tylenol or amoxylin. Bleaghh!! I could hardly sleep because of the extreme nausea I was suffering from I called in sick. I couldn't care less if it was a block off day because I wouldn't be of much use anyway with me in that condition. Big deal.
Since my shift was reverse-mid, I slept. I felt well enough to get out of bed in the afternoon. By the evening I felt strong enough to walk around. After an hour or so, I decided not to push my luck and went to sleep. I reported for my scheduled 6th day ot for today. Yes. Today. It went quite well, considering it was the beginning of the month and I preferred to start it right. Great. Just great. Relax. You're not well enough yet. So I just kept my composure long enough to get through my OT. Cool. Not bad. One, two, easy. File and printer sharing. Not bad.
So after my OT, I went home. I played with my puppies whom my brother's girlfriend named (much to my great dismay) Madeline and Pepito. Jeez. Aren't dogs only able to remember two syllables for their names or what? What they be called when they grow up? Maddy? Peppy? Cute. Real cute. Well, they are. They're Japanese Spitzes.
Afterwards I went with my brother and his girlfriend to Tomas Morato and they ate at Don Henrico's. I decided to be alone for at least an hour and do some contemplation as to what has happened in my life. It went by really fast. It's amazing if you have a pack of cigarettes on the ready. Real handy for those dull moments. A girl went up and talked to me asking to share a seat. Like ano ba? Ang luwag naman diyan sa Gloria Jean's. There were only six of us there. But what the hell. So I asked her to sit down and I chatted with her for a bit. Cute. Sexy. Whatever. Just not my type. I'm no looker. But I still get the girls. Gee? I wonder why? My brother and his girlfriend arrived and I had to say good bye to the girl who had a pained expression on her face. We exchanged numbers and I said my good byes. My brother's girlfriend just shook her head in disappointment. What did I do now?
Anyway, that aside, my brother probably felt me thinking it, so he asked if I wanted to go to Loyola. I said yes, but I suggested that we drop by the house and fetch anyone who wanted to come along. My cousin came and we brought Madeline and Pepito. And so off we went. We stayed a couple of hours in Loyola. I was talking with them and playing with the puppies who were incessantly following everywhere I went. When they fell asleep, we decided to pray. After our prayer, I asked them to wait for me for a few minutes. I wanted to be alone and talk to my grandfather. My brother saw that look in my eye, and left me alone.
As soon as I had turned my back on then, I couldn't hold my tears back any longer. I just sat in front of my grandfather's tombstone and cried. I talked to him for a few minutes and said I was sorry. I was sorry for not being what everyone expects me to be. Sorry for letting him down. Sorry for letting myself down. I told him I was tired. But I can't quit just yet. Not yet. Not just yet. It hurts just knowing that he died in front of you. It hurts knowing that there was nothing you could do. I just miss him.

You turn around and your view from the side is still very beautiful...
我用眼光去追 竟聽見你的淚

I use my eyes to pursue you, yet I hear your tears...

Somewhere Out There
Our Lady Peace
Gravity LP
Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space
We laid underneath the stars
Strung out and feeling brave
I watched the red orange glow
I watched you float away
Down here in the atmosphere
Garbage and city lights
You've gone to save your tired soul
You've gone to save our lives
I turned on the radio
To find you on satellite
I’m waiting for this sky to fall
I’m waiting for a sign
All we are
Is all so far
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
Hope you remember me
When you're home sick
and need a change
I miss your purple hair
I miss the way you taste
I know you'll come back someday
On a bed of nails I’ll wait
I’m praying that you don’t burn out
Or fade away
All we are
Is all so far
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
I know
I know
You're falling out of reach

Gotta Stay High
New Radicals
Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too
I saw your eyes
I had to run away
I fell too deep in love
There were no words to say
I just had to get high
One look inside
And I knew right away
I felt too much
I did not have the strength
I just ran to get high
But lover there’s something about you pushing me
Pulling me I saw your eyes
Fell into yesterday
An only child
Untill you let me stay
I had no one on my side
Too weak to stand
Too scared to love again
The damn has broke
My soul is spilling all over your hands
Take a look in my eyes
Lover
There’s something about your pushing me
Pulling me
That’s saying don’t go away
Ain’t never gonna be another
I see your eyes
I’ll never run away
I fell too deep in love

"Over Her"
You know I been trying to figure out
Just what's going on
Am I over her?
I been doing a lot of thinking lately
Am I over her?
And I'm really missing you
It's been 3 months, 3 hours, 3 days
Since the last time I seen your pretty face
My decision to bring this to an end
And I'm caught up in reminscing
Having faithful visions of long walks, long talks
Play fights, late nights
It's been on my mind since Valentine's
Cause I had your heart and I let it slide
I ask myself time and time again (again I'm trying to comprehend that)
Unanswered questions still (things to be are meant to end)
Am I over her? (am I over her?)
Am I over us?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her?)
I can't think straight
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love?
I was going through some things that I couldn't explain
Now my situation's taking a big change
They say the grass is greener on the other side of town
Now I'm kinda wishing you would come back around
Is she sad or is she mad?
Does she have a new man, does she have it like that?
It's been so long, thought I would've moved on
Could've been strong and picked up the telephone
I ask myself time and time again (again I'm trying to comprehend that)
Unanswered questions still (things to be are meant to end)
Am I over her? (am I over her?)
Am I over us?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her?)
I can't think straight
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love?
It's water under the bridge
But I can't seem to forget
All the plans we made, all the time we spent
Makes me reminisce
I still see your face
All this love I can't replace
Am I over (am I over)
Am I over her? (her now)
Am I over her?
Am I over us? (am I)
Am I over her? (am I over)
Tell me am I really over my my love (my love my love)
I can't think straight (my love)
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her (never gonna be over her)
Am I really over my love? (never gonna be)
No
Am I over her?
No not over her no
Ohhhhhh
Am I over her?
Am I over her? (over her)
Am I over us?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her, am I over her?)
I can't think straight (I'm not over her)
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love? (ahh oooh)
I'm not over my my my love
I'm not over my my my love
I'm not over my my my love (oh no no)
I'm not over my my my love
Am I over her? (I'm not over my my my love)
Am I over us? (I'm not over my my my love)
Am I over her? (I'm not over my love my love, she's my love, she's my)
Tell me am I really over my my love (she's my everything)
I can't think straight (she's my everything, my everything)
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love?
Not over not over my love

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
Youre gone from here
Soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Because everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means
And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!
And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

Taking back Sunday
"We've got to get better",
I said, "it's all in your head"
We could live through these letters
or forget it all together
See the months they don't matter,
it's the days I can't take
when the hours move to minutes and I'm seconds away
Just ask the question,
come untie the knot
Say you won't care,
Say you won't care
Retrace the steps
as if we forgot
Say you won't care,
Say you won't care
You try to avoid it,
but there's not a doubt
and there's one thing I can do nothing about
Well all that we need
is just a reaction
It's too much to ask for
when there's no attraction anymore
If chasing our dreams is just a distraction
I want to remember that
I know I can't go back
Just ask the question,
come untie the knot
Say you won't care,
Say you won't care
Retrace the steps
as if we forgot
Say you won't care,

Trying to figure out what I gotta do
To get the chance to spend a moment with you
Cos girl you're looking so damn fly tonight
And I know I'd like to take it there alright
What you've gots breaking all of the rules
So keep doing what you're doing ooh baby
She's so hypnotic, the way she moves on the floor she's got it
The way she making me feel I shouldn't want it but his girl she's so sexy
So hypnotic got every girl up in this club trying to top it
But that don't mean that this girl is gon stop it
Oh no she's so sexy
No time for drinks at the bar even though she's got me so hot at the risk of
Losing it all, I
Don't want to be the one the fool to let her go
Think it's about time that I dropped my my cool and let her know that
She's sensational got me watchin every move and got me begging for more well
Holding back it nearly drove me crazy that's when I slid up and said girl excuse me
Mmm you're looking so damn fly tonight
Your body gives me butterflies inside

But that all changed for me tonight
From the moment I looked in your eyes girl (ooh you blew my mind)

In the cold depths behind the curtain,
You sleep alone.
The melodious voices of prayer,
Shines a tiny light onto the lonely fields.
I had a dream of you,
You were laughing like a child.
Familiar yet distant,
That is the future's promise.
Someday on a green morning,
Someday I will get there,
Because I believe in this desolate winter sky.
Fields of hope
I'm searching for those gentle hands,
That embraced me the day I was born.
A single voice of prayer disappears,
And I start again, continuing tryingly by myself.
Someday moving towards a green morning,
I will overcome the nights,
Because that is a place that I have to find alone.
For now, I just want to warm you with my chest.
Familiar yet distant,
The tranquility we strive for.

Familiar yet distant,
The promised fields.

I just bought Craig David's new album. And this song totally rocks!!!
Never Should Have Walked Away
Craig David - The Story Goes...
"Never Should Have Walked Away"
I'd been sitting trying to figure out the reasons why
You were always goin out alone
I thought that you were meeting with some other guy
All those times you weren't at home
I was wrong but then i didn't understand
What you were tryna say to me
I thought that you were busy making other plans
And none of those included me
But then i always had to many insecurities
Why didn't i just decide to let it be?
[Chorus]
I never should've walked away
I should've been there for you babe
I know i've handled this all wrong
I swear, i didn't know
Things ain't never gonna be the same
And i know i'm the one to blame
I've gone and left you torn, baby
But i didn't know
I remember it so clear when i got the call
It was the hospital on the phone
They told me how you slipped and had a nasty fall
And would i come and take you home
Now that was bad enough but they had more to say
Felt like the words came out so slow
"I'm afraid she lost the baby but she'll be ok"
And i didn't even know
But now i see i should've been there from the start
Instead of letting it all fall apart
[Chorus]
I didn't know what was wrong
Girl i didn't know, no
I hope you know i never meant to hurt you girl
But i was way too blind to see
That you were only tryin to protect me girl
I wish you'd had more faith in me
Now i realise that i've let you down
And you had reasons to act that way
I thought that you were cheatin when you weren't around
That's why i had to walk away
But girl looking back
Inspite of all that you've been through
I'm asking is there still a chance for me and you

The Garden of Everything - Great Song!!
The Garden of Everything
Steve Conte and Maaya Sakomoto
Rahxephon OST
Here you are
Daylight's star
Made out of miracles
Perfection
Of your own
You Alone
O so incredible
Each atom
Sing to me
"Set me free
From chains of the physical"
O free me, O free me
The mirror melts
I'm somewhere else
Inside eternity
Where you on
Outstretched wings
Sing within
The Garden of Everything
Where memories
Call to me
Backward dreams?
Or phantom reality?
Call to me, they call to me
And so here we are
Lovers of Lost Dimensions
Burning supernovas of all sound and sight
Every touch, a temptation
And for every sense, a sensation
Eyes of pure
Deep azure
Quite unbelievable
The sun's daughter
You've been made
Not to fade
Quite inconceivable
Each atom sings to me
"Set me free
From chains of the physical"
O free me O free me
A love like ours
A starry flower
Through seasons and centuries
As rivers reach the sea
You'll reach me
With songs of your symmetry
A small boat
There will float
To far off coasts
The Isle of Infinity
Come with me. O come with me
Here we'll see
Love's lost tree
Made out of miracles
Emotions, crystal leaves
To cover me
And you in eternity
Each atom sing to us
Through the blood
"Love is a miracle"
Sings softly, it sing softly
And so here we are
Lovers of Lost Dimensions
Burning supernovas of all sound and sight
Every touch, a temptation
And for every sense, a sensation
And so here we are
Twin stars of brilliant brightness
Lanterns lit by life for all the depths of night
And every day will return us
To arms of the ever eternal
And so here we are
So far from earthly orbits
Burning supernovas of all sound and sight
Where every day will return us
To arms of the ever eternal

It's alright, so rock with me
If it's alright with you, oh baby
Don't talk
Baby just move with me
Take a sip
Kind of got you feelin' fizzy
It's alright, so rock with me
If it's alright with you, oh baby
Baby, you got me high dancin' close with the Kana perfume
Smellin' all good
It's gettin' hot in the room
All pressed on you
And I know you feel it to
And that's alright
Pardon me, I'mma back up and be a gentleman
And if it's really real then you can tell me when
And that's when she pulled me close and said "Do it again", come on
Don't talk
Baby just move with me
Take a sip
Kind of got you feelin' fizzy
It's alright, so rock with me
If it's alright with you, oh baby
Don't talk
Baby just move with me

Kind of got you feelin' fizzy
It's alright, so rock with me
If it's alright with you, oh baby
Uh, come on baby now, uh
Uh, come on baby now, uh
Uh, come on baby now...
Girl it's alright to relax your mind
Cause you came out to enjoy yourself
It's on you and nobody else
Come on and bubble with me
Don't talk
Baby just move with me
Take a sip
Kind of got you feelin' fizzy
It's alright, so rock with me

TITLE: The Meantime Girl Revisited
DATE: 08/25/2005 01:50:09
STATUS: publish
BODY:
The Meantime Girl
She's the one you call when you're bored because she makes you laugh.
She's the one you talk to when you're feeling down because she's willing to lend an ear and be a friend.
She's not the one you call when you need a date to your company's Christmas party, or to go dancing with on a Saturday night.
She's the one you spend time with between girlfriends, before you find "The One". You know, the one who you keep around in
the meantime.
She's not one of the guys, not a tomboy, but you don't look at her as a "real" woman, either. She's not bitchy enough, moody enough, or sexy enough to be seen in that light.
She's too laid-back, too easily amused by the same things your male buddies are amused by. She's too understanding, too comfortable; she doesn't make you feel nervous or excited the way a "real" woman does. But she's cool, and nice, and
funny, and attractive enough that when you're lonely or sexually excited and need intimate female companionship, she'll do just fine.
You don't have to wine and dine her because she knows the real you already, and you don't have any facades to keep up,
no pretenses to preserve. You're not trying to get anything of substance out of her.
She's not easy, but you know that she cares about you and is attracted to you, and that she'll give you the intimacy you need. And you know you don't have to explain yourself or the situation, that she'll be able to cope with the fact that this
isn't the beginning of a relationship or that there's any possibility that you have any real romantic feelings for her.
It won't bother her that you'll get up in the morning, put on your pants, say goodbye, and go on a date with the woman you've been mooning over for weeks who finally agreed to go out with you. She'll settle for a goodbye hug and a promise to call her
and tell her how the date went. She's just so cool . . . why can't all women be like that?!
But deep down, if you really think about it (which you probably don't because to you, the situation between the two of you isn't important enough to merit any real thought), you know that it's really not fair. You know that although she would never say it, it hurts her to know that despite all her good points and all the fun you two have, you don't think she's good enough
to spend any real time with.
Sure, it's mostly her fault, because she doesn't have to give in to your needs; she could play the hard-to-get biatch like the rest of them do, if she really wanted to.
But you and she both know that she probably couldn't pull it off. Maybe she's too short, or a little overweight, or has a big birthmark on her forehead, or works at Taco Bell. Whatever the reason, somehow life has given her a lot of really great qualities but has left out the ones that men want (or think they want) in a woman.
So she remains forever the funny friend, the steadfast companion, the secret lover, and you go on searching for your goddess who will somehow be everything you ever wanted in a woman.
You'll joke to her that she should be the best man at your wedding, and she'll laugh and make a joke about a smelly rental tux. She doesn't captivate you with her beauty, or open doors with her smile. Mainly she blends in with the crowd.
She's safe. She doesn't want to be the center of attention and turn the heads of everyone in the room. But she wants to turn someone's head. She wants to be special to someone, too.
We all do.
She has feelings. She has a heart. In fact, she probably has a bigger and better heart than any woman you've ever known because she's had a front-row seat to The Mess That Is Your Life, and she likes you anyway.
She obviously something worthwhile and redeeming you because although you've given her nothing, absolutely no reason to still be around, she is.
Your meantime girl.� Treat her right because she's probably the only one who would know you well enough to care.� And they don't stay around for very long because they too would realize the errors of being treated as such.� Maybe the guy would realize how important she is later on and find out that it is already too late...

Yeah. I know. It's true naman diba? I just hope that some guys realize that they should treat women better. They shouldn't take them for granted and respect them. It's admirable for a girl to allow herself to be treated or given attention to for the meantime, but at what cost? Your love? Your affection? You would lose theit respect because you're not treating them any better than just a simple plaything that you play with and put aside when you get a better one. It's just not right.

the killers
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go
And I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress

TITLE: The Atmosphere here at Convergys isn't happy anymore. It's grim.
DATE: 07/05/2005 11:00:25
STATUS: publish
BODY:
It's disheartening here at the office. Looking at the normally packed 27th and 26th floors. It's not as full anymore and is sometimes almost empty. After the recent POSE fiasco, several of the agents have already left. Our Senior Operations Manager John Manzano, has resigned (I think), and there are some tl's who are leaving as well. There are some rumors going around which I won't discuss. Anyway, it's understandable that it is indeed some of the agents' fault for answering the POSE surveys through the AMT tool or through other means, but let's face it. The metrics here are hard enough already. The company isn't actually taking care of us anyway. Sure, we're payed higher than most call centers, but at what price? Our schedules change weekly. Take note, WEEKLY. We don't really have much by way of amenities either. As for what else is happening, they would impose a lot of unbelievably hard goals and standards (this is a call center, what choice do we have?), which are devised, and thought of by a "middleman" company, which, by the way, has their own call center, and imposes whatever standards of theirs for us to use. I find it pointless to have a middleman who has become a competitor, to stay on for whatever tools or training that they provide for us. Management and the higher ups say that our company is one of the best, but why do we have to rely on Accenture to create a lot of this crap for us? I mean, if our training program is supposed to be so good, why don't we come up with a program of our own. We'd be much better off, and from my point of view, I think Convergys will save more money, and at the same time appease it's workforce. If they just take care of their people as they say they would, then probably those that resigned wouldn't have left and everyone would be happier.
I just don't get it. I myself am having doubts with this company. I mean, I'm okay and all, but this is not amusing anymore. Half my wave is gone, and some of the people I'm really close to have left. Everyone is saying it's not happy here anymore. It ISN'T.

And so the story goes, forgettable faces, they come, they go. And the room is already dark. This is my sea, and I sing. I can feel the silence around me. As the music rises softly from the violins, then I see your face again. It's you, and I'm guessing where you are.
You, in this immense sea. A face I'll probably never see again, that goes, that fades away and plunges the theatre back into darkness.
Immense, in this vast sea. It's so immense, I feel it. I feel you're here, in the theatre, in the darkness. I can feel your prescence right next to me. I feel you're here, in the theatre, in the darkness. I can feel your prescence.
Yes, it's wiser not to think of you here. I'll pretend you're already far away. Then I'll sing and I'll sing. And I'll find you once again in this ocean. Once again, I'll feel the silence again around me. The music, an ocean of violins. And I'll sing and I'll sing.
I'll meet you again someday. I know I will. Immense. Immense is knowing you're beside me.

DATE: 06/06/2005 15:26:39
STATUS: publish
BODY:
Whew. I guess I just overreacted. It's not really something I would openly discuss. But I learned a valuable lesson today.
It's not about you being a good employee. It's not even about work.
I learned a valuable lesson on friendship. Anyway, it's regarding my previous blog. I won't bother to erase it because it is a testament to my thick headedness, or of my fear of losing a friend. Especially someone that I care and am concerned about.
I learned that even if your friend IS your ex, and you decide to become friends. It doesn't mean that it is the end of the friendship. It can be a start. A process of healing so to speak. You may have had history prior to your becoming friends now. It does not mean that you should sever all ties with this person. Sure, you broke up because of reasons like immaturity, cheating on one another, or whatever.
You learn from each other. Just like the way you learn from people everyday. You may see something bad, or good. But that's just the way it is. Who says you can't progress to a more meaningful and more profound relationship with your ex. I think I can. I don't know about the rest, but they are entitled to their own beliefs . I'm not going to expound on this one any further.
Being a friend means that you stand by that person no matter what. Even if they are wrong. You may not approve of their actions, but you still remind them of that. It's not really the issue for me, but it's one of those things that I've come to understand.
Respect them and hopefully, they'll respect you. You become friends with someone and your lives become intertwined. It doesn't matter if you've only been friends with them for a brief period of time. They become a part of you as, you, become a part of theirs.
Cheers to friendship. You never know how long or how brief (from one's own stanpoint of course!
) it will last.And thanks to the people who gave me their input, their thoughts or sentiments. Merci.

This is where I will wait for you. Stealing imaginary kisses as time goes by. Time. Time cannot erase the memories and the desire that you cup in the hands that you raise to your face. As you still think of me.
Throughout your journey, it will lead you back to me. For I'll still be waiting here, dreaming. Dreaming of your unknown whereabouts. Picturing the scene you'll return to, and how you'll return, I dream.

BODY:
I don't know... It's difficult to let go of someone you cared so much
about. During that brief moment, believe it or not, I was happy. But
you came and turned the other way. It was as if I didn't exist... I
cared for you so much. Through the good times, and the lowest of
points of the relationship.
You seem to just notice the other people around you. I never asked to
care about you. I just did. You taught me compromise. It came to a
point that it was already unconditional for me. When I was initially
with you, I just wanted to cure you of your sadness. But as time
passed, I couldn't give you up. I had fallen in love with you.
But that wasn't meant to be. In spite of all that I tried to do, it
was never enough. You spent more time with your friends and what not,
while I was left all alone to fend for myself. Through all of the
frustration, the longing, the love, the happiness, I've decided to
let you go and turn away. It has to be the single most difficult
decision I've had to do. Work, it's nothing. My family troubles,
nothing. Losing you is more difficult. You probably won't even
bother to read this. It's okay.
I can learn to forgive you in time. But not for now. I just want to
be left alone. I want to learn to live again. To find my purpose.
Because you were everything to me. But now, I have no one. Nothing.
I'll find my happiness again. And maybe by that time, I'd have forgiven you...
