Watched "Into the Wild" movie today. One of the best that I have seen in recent times.

The way the movie ends is just so moving -- especially when the Super Tramp scribbles - "Happiness, real only when shared" and passes on to another dimension. Followed by two minute Michael Brooks instrumental of Hard Sun as the credits roll. There was life in that score and that chant.

I fancy songs with poetry. And I love sad songs. 
I like mixing things. And I love medley.
This is a medley. Medley -- of a different kind.
Stumbled upon an artist today,
Bonobo happens to be the name.
Mixed two of his songs -- interleaving, not just paragraphs but more
Let me know if you feel it -- my plight in his wordshis words arranged in my order, effortlessly or more seamlessly?

The journey to your heart began when you let me in.


Now, I find myself standing staring back at a receding doorone you just closed on me.


And I wonder how the journey was?


And what did I do wrong to not deserve you or at least the truth?


And how did you manage to overlook what you once held so dear?

Sometimes you say things that you never thought you'd do and end up hurting people that you care about the most. If we let our egos collide and are steadfast in our anger we end up losing up on something that was and is beautiful. Though you cannot turn back time you can always go back in your head to reclaim the most beautiful part of your life.
And you can always forgive and change.

Carpe Diem. Latin. Means sieze the day. The day is already set beyond the horizon -- while netflix ran three senseless hollywood movies.


I stand up dazed -- seeing in everything shades of gray -- feeling fazed staring out of bathroom mirror.

Three day stubble. Mom. Girlfriend. Warm water bath. Hot water with lead. 



Where do ideas come from?

Only a few things by Above and Beyond ft. Zoe Johnston 


Only a few things will we recall
With love, with gratitude
Only a few things
On the hour in which I die

So if I cannot tell you if though words I do not find I want you to know
There are only a few things that I will be carrying
In my memory when I go
Only a few things will we recall
With true happiness with gratitude
Only a few things

Love is a beautiful thing, makes you feel so good not only about your own self but your life -- Life is you after all.


Getting in love takes a lot of courage, finding the person who can match your passion takes an eye -- you have to know what your heart wants.



Once you find it, its upkeep takes even more -- Love is willingness to be with someone after all.

When I am alone and in the open, 

nursing my open wounds,
I often look up to the sky, 

missing you.
My heart tells me that the world is one big bed, 

this sky our blanket
the day I turn to the other side I will find you
Always.

I cheat myself and break my heart and I have every reason to believe, one other. It has been a month of heart breaks.






I’ll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door –

Fly to the highest branch, farthest from these heathen grounds

for the best view of your world -- lit by a splendid sun

soar with the wind to find the ripest harvest

When you are full from all the beauty and splendor 

and you lay your head down to rest on your narrow bed

Let me know if you missed my open arms...

French Lounge Music in the back ground
my heart plays cello -- saddest tunes I've ever heard 
And the mood seems to have hung somewhere between
the past and present and the what-could-have-beens.
A bottle of Jack Daniel's offering an escape from pain.
Don't question me its cause -- hear my cries and you'll know the origin
Neither condescend nor patronize.

In your preparations to lie or hide something from someone also prepare yourself a contingency plan -- what if the other person finds it out? 
The important thing to consider in your contingency plan is to exclude your attitude; which is to say, if the other person finds out your lie, don't give him your attitude. It only worsens the case.

Just a few days ago, I had completed 

yet another letter, and kept it 

with a dozen others in that fateful bag 

bearing choicest of my memories. 

Like those phone calls -- governed by a divine plan 

Like those what-could-have been moments, 

promised nights and happy dawns 

you broke in rather indiscriminately 

and robbed me of them all. 

But for whats in them you can never steal

wisdom in his eyes, wearing a countenance haggard
man of the sort who has achieved all in his life
who can stand amidst a quarrel and with one word

standing in the line, where it was believed

I am old school when it comes to matters of love. Nothing beats the silent fervor of the feelings you go through when you sit across the table looking into the eyes of person you care about the most in that moment of time.

Lyrics



I fear that I'm ordinary, just like everyone
To lie here and die among the sorrows
Adrift among the days
For everything I ever said
And everything I've ever done is dead and gone, 

is gone dead
all things must surely have to end

or skill.

I love the way you flow through my artless poems,

You are the reason I write

the only thing that matters to this artist is you,
his unfinished art, his only craft.

This is a long, boring story. As simple and interesting as the title.

I am known at my workplace for my colorful shoes. I like my feet to stand out. 
Recently, I bought a new pair of trekking shoes. Weinbrenner's from Bata store. These were tan colored. A friend suggested I try that color.
