Day 1

Observation - Still numb, I assume. There have been no clear, salty saline solutions, much like last year. No need for edibles with a 4-day binge on Bali cuisine in Indonesia. Does one need an associate to validate one's life? First to set priorities straight. Bali cuisine. THAT's where my priorities lie.

A friend just told me about Melody Gardot so I checked out the following song by her aaanndd... fell in love as I fell out of love... or as I swum around with love... or as I let it suffocate me. Beautifully written poetry is always well appreciated, and her voice and lyrics did justice to music and to whatever genre her music is classified as.

Artist        Melody Gardot
Song        Our Love is Easy


It made me imagine in black and white, zooming in on the picture in slow motion. A girl smoking her cigarette, lying on the sofa, mingling with the shadows in this dark room where the only shard of light comes through the gap between the two curtains. A lazy Sunday... a hazy love of confusion.

Not Unpertubed

She tried to drink her troubles away, she tried to smoke up her sadness into vapor
She made friends with everyone
And painted their days gold

She talked to people, she talked to herself, she talked to God and she talked to the walls
She lay in bed, not unperturbed
And drew orb-like flowers

As days went by and she grew older, felt she was getting wiser but just only colder
Numbers didn't matter, nor did people
For coloring her world was not needed

She drank until her fears haunted every childhood, teenage and adult memory
Until the nightmares failed to leave
And until her eyes finally closed
