strange

if jesus is lord and god is a dj, who should we thank for the music?

wala lang, just thought of that strange thing after reading lots of strange things lately. saddam's capture. jesus is lord for president. ocho-ocho glo. paul van dyk's bio. press magazine. jewel turning pop-ish (as in, ngyah, sya pala kumanta ngstanding still??? like hello girl, where have you been?). anonymous letter circulating on the net about this american hating pinay nurses. joey marquez ayaw magsalita sa pag-amin ni kris na nagkikita pa rin sila (like, want another std, girl? o baka rifle naman hintayin mong itutok sa yo?) ceasefire. www.ipl.org (may ganun pala?). project gutenberg. 'i thought i was a feminist ek ek ek ek' sabi ni jane fonda who turned 60 years old a while back. melanoma and eva cassidy (again, proving our point ni hech na we have to have a tragic life in order to be famous!!! pero syempre iba rin naman itong ke lola eva. may she rest in peace.) segregationist US senator has half-black daughter. vatican condemns saddam capture video (finally! they condemn something that needs condemning talaga, not homosexuals or condoms this time!!!)

the list goes on.

sometimes i wonder if reading is a liability, much more if comprehending 98% of what you read is a liability. or if watching the news is a liability, because they are so negative. or maybe, like the 7habits guy said, it's just how i react to things that's a problem, and the things are not the problem. but if the thing is not right, then where's the problem there? or what?

hay wala lang. also thought of how my friends have loads of time (seemingly) to read new stuff, or is it just me who's behind in my reading list? was checking out my friends converse in indi's murakami blog and i'm surprised they can catch up with latest publications, more so read them. how come they have much free time ba? hm. ewan ko ba. maybe sometimes, priorities differ lang, that's all. been feeding my mind lately with other stuff online that when i get offline, parang ayoko nang magbasa pa. my email lists alone are enough for data-gathering, e. so informative, from literary to political (local and abroad) to quirky. you name it. ayun.

well, i guess this is just me whining. got home past midnight and slept at around 1.30a i think and then suddenly jolted out of bed by 5a and i don't know what gives. does stress make you lose sleep? well yea, duh, i guess so.

see, the sun is so up already. when i sat here in my computer it was still kinda magic hour-ish. now its wakethefuckupyou'relateforworkalready hour. at siksikan na sa mrt by now. hm.

i think i miss being a kid. no cares, playtime all the time, eat all you can without thinking of vain things. hay where are those days now... grownups. when we were kids, we were always hurrying to grow up. now that we're here, we do the damnest things to get back to our child in us ek. hay. people will never be satisfied, i guess. hay.

this is what it sounds like when doves cry.
