A few days ago on the tube - I was sitting a couple of seats away from a middle aged man. He was sitting with his head titled forward and he was asleep. Not only was he asleep but he was snoring so loudly that I could hear it through my earphones filled with music. In fact I
I've been listening to this mix in the office. It is a surprisingly good as work music but then again - played it at a pre-party this weekend before going out and it worked wonders for that occasion as well.
This reminds me that this fall I should definitely get some seeds. Every year I get very excited, after a couple of months of soggy grey London winter I realise that all I am really doing is making the pigeon population of London fatter. Oh and the occasional squirrel!
Something you said made me lose it againI can't remember the last time you made me feel safeThere's no room for love, no time for understandingSometimes I start a fight just to see if you care. It's not getting betterIt's not getting any easier. I never thought I'd become so cold inside. Day after day, we're wishing our
I'd forgotten all about this song and how good it it. It's a real good song for starting your week of. Motivation for the office anyone? I wanna see $ I wanna see £
I saw a Mum with her son, he was about 8 years old. He was walking next to her while clinging on to her hand and arm. She shoved him away, release his grip on her hand and said: "Walk like a big boy" He whined a little bit but agreed - all I could think was: "In
So a while back I wrote about a one sided friendship... Now I think I have ended up in the same situation with another one of my friends. The question now is: Is it just circumstantial and a coincidence or am I the one who brings it out of people?
So I work in an office that has an outer courtyard. You actually have to go outside to get to the kitchen and bathroom areas. We share this office building with 7 other companies, all smallish like the company I work for. So we all have to step into the fresh air before getting to the coffee maker
I saw a man on the bus today. Getting extremely angry and upset over the fact that bus has to hold to regulate the service. He was shouting "Unbelievable - why can't we just drive!!" and then he was making little frustrated noises and threw his head back. Once the bus started moving after a hold of less
Every single day when I leave the office, I do 2 things before I leave... I fill up my water bottle with water to take with my on the tube, which gets extremely hot over the summer. Secondly, I visit the ladies before heading back into my office to pick up my bag before leaving. Every single day
I was reading my old dairy today and I found an entry that was quite full on. It was relating every single line of a song's lyrics with how I felt by underlining it with a sentence of my own... All I can say about it now is: I am glad that this was 2006 and that I
I was walking down the street the other day and witnessed some quite strange chemistry between a couple. They were in their mid 20s walking down the street. He was fairly well dressed and holding a bag in one hand and a cigarette in his half closed fist in the other hand. His girlfriend (?) was walking next
As one of our housemates is currently leaving us for greener pastures. We are again going through the process of finding a new housemate. I find it quite hard to get to know someone in a space of a brief meeting. As we know by experience it may take a few months before someone's annoying traits start to
I saw a man on the tube reading his calendar from 2007, was he... ... dreaming of his glory days? ... trying to remember something? ... using the calendar as a notebook? ... retracing his or someone else's part movements? Mysterious
I saw a man on the tube today. Upper middle ages, with some shopping bags looking like a retired builder who likes to watch rugby and drink a pint of bitter - with the complimentary belly. He was very ordinary man with grey hair - getting on with his life. Then he was sporting a full beard -
I overheard this conversation between a couple the other day, around half five walking home from work. Him "I really need a drink right now" Her "You fucking need to stop slagging off my Mother" Lovely...
You have no idea of how it feels - so little time and so much stress When we meet trouble, you will run away Is it mine or your fault? Doesn't matter as long as you play your part
This is the word for word translation of a Swedish hip hop track. I really like it in Swedish. To put the song in some context it is written by a guy about a girl he had something with. So let's see if the lyrics will hold up to my scrupulous translation: You told me that you already
I live with 4 other people, one of them today stomped into the kitchen carrying out an agitated rant where this person (from here on know as 'Housemate') stated that more than half of Housemate's mouthwash had been used by a unknown perpetrator. Housemate went on about this at some length and then stomped out. Personally, even if
To spend a life in a dizzy maze Returning phrase of mine When that first, first took it's place You chose, you chose unwise Let them love you, let them try You confuse your head You chose to do this, yes you did So never say regret Whatever else we gave to each other all the pain we
So a while back I was out to dinner with a friend of mine. In my eyes it was strictly a friendly meal but as the night progressed I realised that this was not the case from his perspective - the big question is: How do you know? I pretty much ended up on a double date and
Soon the stars will disappear Have I forgotten how to sleep I wonder The clouds appear and lands will meet The sun will raise its head for me In wonder All I ever wanted is you And all I ever wanted is you Unashamed you bear my name You take me to those days, we were younger Your
As the million billion suns die, they coalesce into one singular form of energy, before they explode into super nova. It is the vanishing point, where you and me don't matter, but we do. And so do you. Yes You. We are all Dying Suns, sewn into the same fabric. Endlessly dying, constantly living, in the pattern of
A while back I wrote this about a boy: I am so sick of you. In a way. You keep playing with my head - in a way I kind of wished that I knew what you were thinking. It would be so much easier than all of this analysing. But then when you are in a situation
I love the summer rain. It is just something with how it makes all the scents of the world come alive that is magic. Plus that humid wall of heat and scents hitting you when you step out of the door. I love the summer rain. It is just something with how it makes all the scents of
How do I know that you know that we are really just meant to be friends? I know I told you so, and quite directly I might add(!) Since then you have texted me to hang out in the park, chillin as friends. That turned out to involve champagne, strawberries and a picnic blanket - so clearly not
Don't you think it is boring how people talk They can smart with the words again but I am bored Because I am doing this for the thrill of it, killing it
I've almost gone into a routine now, by taking the same tube each morning. So now I have eastblished a couple of Tube Buddies - people that I actually recognise every morning. Let's describe them: The man with the long ponytail He normally has his waist length hair braided and falling down his back. A few specks of
So you are very mysterious - you are really friendly with me and we do get on. We do see each other regularly because we have the same routines and in between that you do email me and I respond. I've been hoping for you to ask me out. But when I think you are about to it
You must've fallen down from out of the skyWhen you were too high from flying aroundI swear to god you must be some kind of ghost in disguiseThe way you haunt me when it comes down You must've fallen down from out of the skyWhen you were too high from flying aroundI swear to god you must be
He take a one step forward, one step back And it's all a part of his attack He take a one step forward, one step back Cause he knows I like that Fireman, oh fireman Somebody turn up the fan I better watch my hands
Trying to swallow a painkiller with coffee creates more of a struggle than water, due to the coffee being warm and having different effect on the procedure compared to water. Another good idea turned bad.
And I drank up all my moneyTasted kind of lonely How I spend my day time Loosen up the frown, make them feel alive I make it fast and greasy I know I'm way too easy You're gone and I got to stay high All the time to keep you off my mind
One of my friends just revealed something very personal to me. At the time I found it strange, I questioned the medium of the conversation as well as me as the recepicent. But the more I look at it, the more I get it. The information revealed was about him and his relationship. I questioned why he was
Touch you once, my fingers go numb Hold my breath one second to long Fainting nervous when I wake up You'll be gone, you're all that I got Being with you a natural high Still got every single butterfly Just what they all wish that they had So intense it's driving me mad So into you now I
It really annoys me when business men read a clearly labelled 'Confidential Contract' on a busy tube carriage. Not very private or confidential is it? It makes me want to price the contract out of their hands or Lean over and take a few mobile phone pictures
I spend my life taking similar answers So I'm asking do I have to pay to live with this bastardYes cause it's the middle of the night so we can't leaveNo I could throw a tantrum or I could throw a party Life has been so crazy but I've got a good feelingSo I wanna share it but I'm new
The reason we work out so well: Is because I don't expect anything from you. I know that if I don't reach out to you every once in a while - I would vanish from your mind. But that's okay. I don't expect anything from you. I don't want anything from you. But I can still enjoy your
As you may or may not know. I work in West London and live in North London, it takes me a good 45 minutes on the tube. You readers who do not live in London may not know this, but like in any major city (I would imagine) different neighbourhoods have a different feel to them. What is
Rule No. 1 You got to have fun, but when you are done - you got to be the first one to run. Rule No. 2 Just don't get attach to, someone you could loose. Rule No. 3 Wear you heart on your cheek, never on your sleeve. Rule No. 4 Look pure, kiss him good bye at
A song from the lovely Jared Evan, it's quite outspoken but it is something about it - that is very catchy and really hits the spot. It's free to download from his SoundCloud, so I recommend it! Feel my pain, I got an addiction She's a drug she be all in my system Sort of like a fiend
Laying on a fake beach You will never get a tan In the night your heart is full And by the morning empty But baby, I am the one that left you You are not the one that left me Laying on a fake beach You will never get a tan In the night your heart is full
Normally, I get on the tube before the morning has rolled around to 8 am. However, the other day I overslept - like a stupid person and suddenly found myself on the tube with the just-before-10-am-start commuters and let me tell you they are a different breed from the ruffle of the 'push or be pushed' - 'as
For he has stolen all All of the good that you had All the things that you loved and was sure of And I have given less, Oh, oh, you decide I should re-mend this broken heart Oh darling, when you feed our cold Wait up, I'm coming home And all of you, I will hold My love
When I first hear this song. I went and bought it, and in the first few days I listened to this song about 152 times (yes I checked!) It is just something about the sound and the very simple lyrics that attracts me to this song. I must admit I have tried to listen to other song by
So I would recommend this song, by mr. Jared Evan. It is just something about the song that keeps catching on in my head. It is catchy and has a good hook, without being cheesy. I get up too late and I head to the class room I'm wondering why I'm wasting my time losing my mind everyday
