String from your tether unwinds

"Together, they would watch everything that was so carefully planned to collapse,

and they would smile at the beauty of destruction."

-Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

We are golden. Fullstop.

Oh joy, it's Valentine's

Yeah I'm sorry too but sorry ain't cutting it

I feel violated by those saccharinely sweet greeting cards, redundant red roses and pink balloons. Hallmark must have had a gala time today. Also, I think my iTunes knows that it's Valentine's or something. Creepily enough, it's playing songs with cheesy-ass buzzwords.

Oh did I mention, I HATE VALENTINE'S DAY. Thank the gods[not you, Cupid] that it's over.

Until next year, peeps. For now, it's Valentine's Day by Linkin Park on repeat...

So close, it's almost tangible.

No, I'm not colour blind

I know the world is black and white

And in the end dreams just scatter and fall, like rain

Speculation

I wonder what you'll take from me today

Sanity or my breath away

It's hard to say

(I Don't Think I Love You by Hoobastank)

Singing without tongues, screaming without lungs

I know it's kinda late, but this one goes out to all the victims of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombings...

I was looking for the perfect picture.

The thousandth crane. :)

Someone once said "You know my name, not my story."

"Scars remind us of where we've been.

They don't have to dictate where we're going."

Senseless acts of beauty, yes?

"Better to write for yourself and have no public than to write for the public and have no self."

But even apocalypse is fleeting

And everything inside screams for second life.

We were meant to live for so much more.

(Meant To Live by Switchfoot)

Oh these heels would be positively perfect for gouging someone's eyes out

Chasing the night to make our days better

Lovegame: What's in love is now in debt

And games that never amount

To more than they're meant

Will play themselves out.

I look at the Taj Mahal as a cliched representation of 'love' these days. I wish it hadn't got so popular with the tourists! I mean, every other travel show raves about it. It's all deja vu.

But this poster, I think it's brilliant conceptually. I like that there are those typical Venetian gondolas in the forefront and the Taj Mahal acting as a background.

And Mayday Parade is one great undiscovered punk band :D

Dream a little dream of me? :s

You know that really frustrating feeling of not being able to remember what dream (or nightmare) you had the night before?

Well, there's something worse than that- remembering the dream but realizing it's not the right dream to have dreamt.

[I know, if you're reading this and have known me for a while, you're expecting this to be about something completely different than it actually is. So don't judge me here, folks. It's NOT that age-old story. I've buried that.]

And yes, it stems from the same place where the worst of complications arise- people.

They're so cumbersome. Inanimate objects are so much easier to deal with.

I say we settle for the in between- AUTOMATONS!

They're like humans without that hindering aspect of emotions and feelings.

Not to mention, no blood! Imagine how much easier that would be on doctors, detectives and crime scene investigators!

But back to the point.

How did I even manage to conjure up such startlingly vivid images, clear sounds and close-to-reality feelings for people and things which I for so long, have not even thought about?

Dreams.

They're a funny thing.

Secret crosses are a curse

It's a beautiful lie

It's the perfect denial

Such a beautiful lie to believe in...

All attempts have failed, all my heads are tails

When you try your best but you don't succeed

When you get what you want but not what you need

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse.

(Fix You by Coldplay)
