Lately my mind sought forbidden thought
Forbidden thoughts of those distraught
Depression's bitter Skaldic Mead
A poet's accursed gift indeed.

Neruda wrote his saddest lines
Poe had his Raven's sorrowed rhymes
I possess nothing but a homely bosom
None of the graces' poetic wisdom.

And so this "poem" is a dirge of fools
A song to be loathed by all classic schools
Product of emotion unbridled by mind
Hot burning desire with nothing to find.

Random Musings of a Confused Mind

1) Rabbits are cute... until they multiply out of control. It's probably the way they keep their species alive since the moment they pop their furry heads out of their burrows everyone is out to get them. Dogs, birds, cats, lizards, people, everyone. The solution? They breed like there's no tomorrow. And for a lot of bunnies, there really is no tomorrow. Sad but true.

2) I must be the only Filipino who did not want Manny Pacquiao to win. He's the president's loyal dog, and because of him politicians again had good reason to squander millions of taxpayers' money into his fight. His support of the corrupt leadership of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is also a big minus As far as I'm concerned that makes him a scoundrel.


That's it for now.

I guess I have been acting a lot weirder than usual lately. I have been writing weird entries, poems, and rambles as of late and not really saying much about my life. Sorry 'bout that, but the nature of my work prevents me from getting too chatty about it. Teaching is like that, especially when the school in question is less than perfect.

As for what I've been doing outside work, I've been catching up with my old friends and trying to keep old friendships alive and going. Basically that's it. I won't go into details for now.

I also haven't bought a new model since the start of the month, which is a breakthrough for me since I've been buying two models a month lately. This will be my first time to buy only one model a month since I began. Why? Well, money basically. My job security kinda went in jeopardy some weeks back but is now safe and sound. I've also been spending on other things, thing I cannot discuss yet.

Anyway, I've had a weird case of LSS lately. It's about a song in Japanese. It's entitles "Silent Voice" and it's the opening theme for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam Double Zeta. There's no pint in exibitng the Japanese lyrics here as no one will understand it, so I'll just post the translation.

ZZ Gundam  -  Silent Voice

Translation by Diasuke Suzuki
From album "Gundam Singles"
typed by Andrew Coates

In the penthouse raining with stars
I listened to the sky alone
Everybody is a lonely clown,
crossing a glass tightrope, blind folded
Rope of heart swinging with sadness of loneliness

Coda 1
* Oh, oh
silent voice (x2)

I want to melt with somebody with kind eyes

**Oh oh
silent night
please whisper me that you are close by me
silent voice

When I write a letter (people) with tears,
my heart gets hot
Trying to give up, but I can't.
A troubled clown with a weak heart
In a star lit sky,
clowns riding balls raise their hands

Repeat *
At night when kindness fall to a town

Repeat **
The day will come when I can say the truth
silent voice

Repeat Coda 1

Update (Decode It Yourself. I'm Bored)

Haiku

Not knowing the way
A traveller walks unsure
Til the light is seen.


Untitled: A Tuneless Song

He knows not the arts
Of the immortal Venus
Has none of Adonis'
Impeccable features
Cannot read a map
His wallet's threadbare
The only thing he has
A clueless heart that cares.

He knows not how to care
All he knows is he must
Through some great miracle
Somehow gain her trust--
Let her know he exists
For this he persists
To trudge lonely along
The valley of the mists.

I really want to update this blog but as of now I really don't have much to say nor think about. Come back some other day.
