That's Life

Turns out November the 1rst ended up being a good day after all.


That's Life

That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I said that's life (that's life), and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life), that's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die

My, my!

November the 1rst

Wow, two posts in the same day, am I sick or is this really an eventfull day.

Well, a little bit of both. Eve online servers are down due to maintenance, so I end up having some spare time that I would otherwise dedicate playing that incredible mmorpg that I wouldn't advise any of you to try ;)

Resembling Andi Lau's desription of the "continuous hell", in his brilliant and acclaimed movie "Infernall Affairs", which I'm curious to see in whitch extent Martin Scorcese butchered in his newly remake "The Departed", is my life, forever damned to make the same mistakes over and over as a punishment, well, in this case it revolves around a girl, what else.

Here is some background story...

a long time ago this young cheerful guy met a girl, and oh what a sight and warm to his heart she was, and she bewitched him with her smooth ways and languid eyes and he was happy ever after for almost a week. unfortunatelly his speedster vaguely resembles a porshe and/or his social skills were non existant because soon enough this girl ripped his heart out of his chest threw it in the floor and crushed it with those nice high heels shoes women like (The devil wears prada!? anyone?)
Therefore this, once cheerful guy, was thrown into the "friend zone" that is like a maze where you can't get out, but you do have a window where you get a front row view, but enough of that, returning to the present day.

today...

Every so often this girl restarts talking to me, either via msn, sms, or whatever medium you be fond atm, what starts with a hello soonly derails to her bitching about me dating other women after she refusing going out with me for the 1023430th time. This girl that keeps telling me that I'm this bright guy, tall, cute that every girl would love to go out with, just won't go out wih me because I'm not this bright guy, tall, cute did I mentioned tanned? But eventho she keeps tricking me with her ways, and every other month we have this same arguing that leads nowhere but me being pissed for the rest of the week, so that's the reason of the continuous hell bit.


Now the reason I started this post.

I rarely, and I say rarely watch television, I do have a few series I'm fond of watching which unfortunately I'm confined to have to download from the internet (it's not piracy, it was aired so you allowed to record it), recently discovered the Jon Stewart Daily Show on you tube, but today I was having dinner at my parent's and this very famous portuguese soap opera was on, usually I'm able to make my senses totally ignore it but today during a scene change I hear something that totally resembled the chords from "all day and all night" from the Kinks and My Oh My the 2 minutes I payed attention made me sick.

You would think that something with the name of "strawberries with sugar" was actually sweet, but don't let the title mislead you, I can barely describe the mental diarrhea that this characters all suffer, the script writers must have took a hold of a whole lot of chinese fortune cookies as they using all those sayings as soundbites. The sad part is that people actually enjoy it, I must be weird.

You ain't no daisy

I wanted to post something happy and cheerfull this time, unfortunatelly I couldn't think of anything, so I'll just wish you all a happy halloween.

I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
dear God I wish he'd go away!"
