“So far away; Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door;

Doesn’t help to know you’re just time away;

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood;

Holding you again could only do me good;

How I wish I could, but you’re so far away

One more song about movin’ along the highway;

Can’t say much of anything that’s new;

If I could only work this life out my way;

I’d rather spend it bein’ close to you;

But you’re so far away, doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door;

Doesn’t help to know you’re so far away

Yay-uh-ay-eee; Oh, so far away

Travelin’ around sure gets me down and lonely;

Nothin’ else to do but close my mind;

I sure hope the road don’t come to own me;

Yet so many dreams I’ve yet to find;

But you’re so far away, doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door;

And it doesn’t help to know you’re so far away…”

–Carole King

Nothing weird has happened, but I feel as if all these tears wanted to flow… and distance feels like the hardest test ever put into my heart, like an endless wall to climb with my own weak hands.

So far away… it hurts…

To my friends:

If you really want to invite me, ask me first before assuming I can’t go. And if you assume I can’t go, don’t tell me.

That’s politeness.

I just finished reading Confessions of a Mask, and it’s one of the best books I’ve read! I love it when I feel as I’ve lived beside the main character, shared his/her adventures. It happened with Oriana Fallaci’s A Man, and now it happened with Mishima’s book! Wow, I ought to keep reading his books. Besides, the fact that he committed seppuku makes me want to find out more and more about his point of view on life.

Mishima rules!

1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why?

I love The Beatles. Their songs are fit for all kinds of moods, and they’re musically rich. They are my idols!

2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why?

Well I hate all that crappy pop/rap stuff like Britney Spears, Eminem, and a whole lot more. Oh and everything concerning country.

3. If your favorite singer wasn’t in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person?

Well… Paul is still cool, but I think he wouldn’t be married to Heather Mills. I don’t know… If The Beatles weren’t The Beatles, they would be four working-class guys from Liverpool. I prefer to befriend anonymous people.

4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show?

Nah, never, can you believe it?

5. What are your thoughts on downloading free music online vs. purchasing albums? Do you feel the RIAA is right in its pursuit to stop people from dowloading free music?

I think the thirst for money is what brings out those pursuits. If the music industry doesn’t get the last cent for checking out what music we like and what music we don’t like, then we’re all being thieves. It really sucks that music is an INDUSTRY.
