In the pursuit of swallowing a lifeless figurine

The different body parts are communicating in tongues. I was in a room full of rubber bands, those red rubber bands. The wrinkles on their faces began to speak. I cowered in the most appropriate manner. All the languages are broken into various codes. No one here can believe the sound, it felt like tremors.

We did not bother locking our bikes, the sun spoke to me the other day, he said, we are all made of stars. I shook my head and started to dance. There were too many cows in the field, I started to put my headband and swerve from side to side. They flew me back to Kansas, I could not find Toto.

Toto the band appeared suddenly all dressed up in Black Ninja costumes...
I started to chant the Karma Police...man, it was awful, the music was awful,
maybe I should just reach out for the phone...

I was too late... the Lee Cooper gang already came to slaughter the rubber chickens... I was in a trance, and my body started to shiver...

Strange Overtones



2 days ago, I managed to watch the man himself David Byrne at Suntec, it was one of the best concert that I have ever been. Special thanks to my mrs for buying me a seat. I was surprised to see the middle age caucasian crowd filling up at least 75% pf the seats.

David Byrne has always been a great inspiration for me musically, with his song writing and his ability to combine arts in different form. Experiencing the concert was like witnessing a theatre piece. There was dance, music and spirituality. Loads of surprises... and the sound was just amazing. He played I Zimbra which is like one of my favourite Heads track plus Once in a Lifetime. Of course I waited for Psycho Killer, probably its not in the setlist, maybe its like Byrne's Smells Like Teen Spirit.

But anyway, I am inspired and ready to go again...same as it ever was!

The New Year



Life is definitely changing now, there is no doubt about it. I am beginning to realise a few things, many of the things that I thought was important is really not important now. That something important is something that you can wait. What important is that family comes first... after that is whatever you want to place next.

Life is not simple, but what is simple will be your needs, maybe my needs not others. Its ok to be ambitious, but its not ok to be selfish. There are too many worldly things, we are indeed humans after all. We hang on hope too much till it collapses down the abyss of insanity.

I still love music, art, life or what have you.... but there is something more than art that art cannot capture... the realness of being I guess. This is life, this is the new, this is me and this is you...
