“I BRING you with reverent hands, The books of my numberless dreams”

insane lyrics

Posted by lordpinoy on July 15, 2005

do you have the time to listen to me whine?

i don’t know whether anyone has tried this on a friend before (or on a regular basis) …

at times i ask myself the following questions:

a) would  handful of one-liners from songs be enough to start a conversation?
b) could you use funky/silly/whateveryouwanttocallit lines to make a point?
c) what if  you really wanted to say those words (…unfortunately those lines are already copyrighted) because they seemed appropriate…. for the moment at least?
d) do some words get in the way so they’re best left unsaid?

what if you walked into a bar and that DJ who’s obviously not a pinoy but does his job well by mixing the right track for the right pack, was playing some kick-ass music? then you could say play that funky music white boy! or a friend walks up to you just as the sun was fading, would she/he be glad if you told her/him zoom! you chase the day away or if anyone asked you to explain why you’re in such an angsty mood, you’d rationalize it by saying the world could die and everything may lie. A month ago someone asked me for advice (me??!???), and i told the unlucky girl, she’s gotta live the moment, take a little time baby,  see the butterfly’s colors, listen to the birds… or how about those uneventful moments when someone asks you what’s this life for? what’s life for?

if anyone even bothered to ask you what you are in real life, would it bother that person if you admitted that you’re broke but you’re happy, you’re poor but you’re kind … And what it all boils down to
Is that no one’s really got it figured out just yet.
of course, it might not be as dramatic as that especially since a lot of us are just a little bit
of crazy, little bit of a fool, with one hand in their pocket and who knows? the other one might be playing the piano? 

or when hit on hard times and figuring out where it when wrong, you’d shrug off things and say
when i find out all the reasons, maybe i’ll find another way, find another day. with all the changing seasons in my life maybe i’ll get it right next time. I get knocked down But I get up again You’€™re never going to Keep me down. of course human nature,  notwithstanding you’d be back in the same mud hole and say oops! i did it again!.

insane? totally!

anyway, to cut this short, i get my kicks trying out other one-liners on unsuspecting friends and wouldn’t be surprised if anyone at all does the same.
