Warm and Fuzzy Thoughts

It's been a week since I bought URBANDUB'S new album: EMBRACE. It's a killer. I've been listening to nothing but Urbandub all week and I've felt saner than ever. Wait, that's a weird way to put it. But yeah, it's gotten me through the drama for the past two weeks. I'm always ready to implode but it's managed to pull a few screws loose...and that's good.

But what am I saying? EMBRACE rocks!

First of Summer is like hot champorado on a warm Sunday afternoon. You're taken in with nothing but warm and fuzzy thoughts all over. I shriek like a fangirl everytime I hear it. Hehe... Dunno, but reminds me so much of those crazy 80's high-school flicks. No, Bagets is out of the question. hehe...

Frailty is for the tired soul. Alert the Armory is an Urbandub classic. A City of Sleeping Hearts is a revelation. Am liking the infusion of samples. Reveal the Remedy and When Heroes Die manage to throw those catchy punches in my head without me realizing it. I blurt out "Sell my soul, I'm a victim to the world tonight.." and "'Coz fate reveals the remedies" at about the same time I'm walking through the library door or waiting in line at the canteen or taking a piss in the middle of the night. It's addicting! The End Of Something is going to be the anthem for that post-break-up epic. The Arsonist and Endless, A Silent Whisper are nostalgic, reminds me of that void the world needs to fill. A safety in numbers is a strong contender, but not strong enough to cause palpitations. he.he... but I'll have a nth go, see how it feels.. All in all, I have a feeling this is going to be my anthem for the year.

Tin the Optimist

My head is harboring all these ideas for new years resolutions all week. I have cheeky Philippine daytime television to thank (or not) for that. The incessant list of new years resolutions day time talk shows have coughed up for the past seven days have finally been pounded into my brain. So okay, I've finally made up my mind to make one. Not just because its the new year, but because I seriously need it. For my sanity.

Here it goes.

So okay, I think... I need to be positive at all times. Shocking, ain't it? Ok, not at all times, just for most of the year. Not Barney the Blimey Dinosaur positive-positive. Just Forrest Gump-positive. And by that no, I won't be going oblivious for that feat. I think I need to mellow a bit with the complaining. No one seems to like it. The dark cloud above the head routine is getting too old these days. I've been growing frown lines! And it's not just because of the fact that I'm turning senile at any moment.

I'll have it a go, and try it for size. See how it works.

It's here. 2006. And my head is spinning.

I have boatloads of things to do and I'm virtually paralyzed by the thought.
Definitely not a good way to start the year.
