Life (and Love) is so ephemeral like that flame, here today, gone tomorrow.
But oh, we are so foolish because we know the truth yet continue to deny it. Or we acknowledge the truth but head for the wrong directions anyway. Either we say let's eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we shall die. Or we delude ourselves that earthly attachments are eternal. We go through the motions of living but we refuse to live life by the day. We plan all sorts of things but never consider those that could come unexpected. We regard life as if it were our own. We regard ourselves as if we're totally in control.

a lot of people ended up pissing me off today.

first, i found out some of the djs were going to assist in the christian bautista concert tonight. noone told me. wow. even worse was that they were not acknowledged as production assistants, but as djs. hello! where was the request from my helm?

second, this guy was making moves on my girl. what was even worse was that this guy was separated, had a kid, and thought that inviting a girl out for dinner and lunch, and volunteering to take her home were harmless to an already relationship. dammit.

third, i'm helping out bands record a demo cd (i'm also singing in the demo), and i find the sound engineer pegging prices higher than the himalayas for it. now he's texting me his landline number, and asking me to call him.

and where does that lead us? not really my day, man.

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over over
If you want it
War is over
Now...

HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER)

it's 'tales.
what the bitch is trying to say
is that you shouldn't drown yourself
with too much anger about it.
keep your cool. sleep.
you'll be able to think
better when you're sober.

ei, man. thanks for texting back. i had noone else to turn to. well, my bestfriend was nice enough to have dropped by this afternoon to calm me down (and give me a good sermon about how i acted last night), even though it was his 6th anniversary with W. i appreciate it much, dan.
thank you, friends. you keep me sane.
