Music I'm Listening to Right Now

The emotion i feel at this particular moment

 

not the actual song meaning though :)

After The Storm

And after the storm,
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up, I look up,
on my knees and out of luck,
I look up.

Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won't rot.

And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land,
What we lived for.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more.
That's why I hold,
That's why I hold with all I have.
That's why I hold.

And I won't die alone and be left there.
Well I guess I'll just go home,
Oh God knows where.
Because death is just so full and man so small.
Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

Work Music

One of those nights... (Jerry the 2nd)

So Hong comes into the house and asks why does it smell bad. First she suggests its the fridge, which is kinda true but it doesnt stink that way... so i thought it was the trash, but i cleared the trash and its not that. As i was clearing the trash i realized there was no smell from the trash.. Oh well whatever right? just ignored it.. turned the vents on and just continued on. Had a shower before bed time, thinking oh i can go to bed before my short road trip tomorrow to NC for Arvic's party (It's been awhile since i saw him and felt guilty LOL). I come down to grab a cup of water after my shower and decide to check the cabinet, a couple of seconds after getting the water and thinking it could be the rat trap.

And yes, i was right... another rat....Danny's rat traps work really well. Had a serious debate internally whether to just leave it there for someone else to deal with it or just bury it tonight. As usual i decided to get it done tonight. So i changed into shorts and some used clothes for this week, and dug a grave in the dark. I did somehow manage to wake the bird that resides in his/her nest in the garage. It was berserk probably confused because there was light, poor thing. As i was trying to get dead rat out i left the door open, for ease of passage, and that is when Mr.Birdy decides to fly in and stay above my work desk.. spent the next 20-30mins making bird noises and turning on and off lights to lure it outside.. Guess what? That worked..

Buried Jerry the 2nd and showered again  lol...left the cleaning up for Eric (my roommate). At least it doesnt smell anymore. One of the weirder nights in my life. Oh well..something to remember, best get back to bed. Need to drive at 5 am. Hong wants to visit Duke before the party.

This is my trip with Hong for the weekend:

Stray Love

A dying fire,

A wilting flower,

A moon drowning in the presence of dawn

Who will love this strange heart,

Who will bear the mark of a passerby...

A broken record,

A missing chord,

The mind of a wanderer

The allegiance to none

There is no place for this stray love

A stranger in creation

Meaning lost in translation

Honest convictions, bolder action

But a love that does not belong in this world,

A witness of kindness,

Tainted by avaricious judgments

Forgotten in the waves of time

It don't belong here,
It don't belong here,
Pain misunderstood for shame
The stares of my imaginary friends
