Weird, Weird, Weird.

Sigh... it's gonna be near midnight by the time I finish this post, but I feel like I have to get some things off my chest.


NUMERO UNO: DEATH OF MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON.

Oh my God!!!! Why did you have to go?!

Michael, you always will be the King of Pop, your immeasurable presence on-screen and on-stage can never be compared to any performer that ever existed in the entire history of mankind. Your legacy lives on, in the hearts of your fans and the minds of generations to come.

Even though I didn't grow up listening to your music, moonwalking to songs like Billie Jean, Man in the Mirror, Beat It or Thriller, you, Michael, you were always there.

If ever an ultimate pop icon referral was needed, 'Michael Jackson' was always the most appropriate thing to say. If ever friends needed to find something musically in common, your beats were the only thing everyone could agree on.

You, Sir, are irreplaceable.

Much hype has been abound since your death on June 25th, 2009, and I have jumped on the bandwagon just to prepare myself, armed with up-to-date knowledge.

Since then, I have only one thing to say.

You, Sir. YOU ARE CERTAINLY THE GREATEST PERFORMER THAT EVER LIVED.

Your music, is beautiful. I have never felt so connected to sound so pure. Songs like Ben and I'll Be There, Heal the World... They touched my soul.

As such, I regret wholly and truly, for I have never been a fan until today. That I have been so blind, oblivious and impervious to such beauty that lies within your songs, it is unfathomable.

Michael Joseph Jackson, the world mourns your passing, but be well, for your legacy shall go on for millenia to come.




NUMBER TWO: I CAN'T FREAKIN' REST MY MIND!!!

If I go to bed now, I will have barely around 6 hours of sleep before I have to haul my ass up to the hospital the next day for a checkup.

Then it's classes to 1, until which I will probably be out until 4 pm. Then I will have my practical report to finish, bla bla bla.

It's not as hectic as before, although I would prefer it to be. Perhaps I should sign up for more voluntary work...?

Nah, it's late, I'm disorientated, confused even. Tomorrow will probably pass by as easy as a summer's breeze. Till then, I have a restless brain to quell, and some emotional baggage to let down.

Wish me luck ;)

No Surprise Daughtry

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why...

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow

God know we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
