i have to praise you like i should

after listening to the Pachelbel Rant (cred to Rakky), it got me thinking about graduation songs. that bloody vitamin C one is just an earsore, the epitome of naff... in the first place, how do you take an artist with the name Vitamin C seriously?

and then Fatboy Slim started playing on my itunes. itunes is magic. it somehow manages to play the right thing, just when you need it..most of the time anyways. other times its just gormless and starts playing The Eurythmics unnecessarily.
ok back to Fatboy Slim. thanks to the G-ster, i acquired Why Try Harder..which is basically a singles compilation. (singles compilations PWN!) "Praise You" started playing. lovin the lyrics baby:

We've come a long long way together,
Through the hard times and the good,
I have to celebrate you baby,
I have to praise you like I should

you see! its better a song than Graduation: Friends Forver will ever be!

and now Cornershop comes on:
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow

:D haha! i remember analysing this song for a lit lesson during my first three months in NY. during the presentation, i remember talking about the song having elements of escapism or some bollocks like that...that bollywood provides an escape from the harsh reality of city/slum life of the commoners in India. and then i added the line "But that doesn't mean that Indians are sorry people" :P and i even had to point out alliteration and assonance in the lyrics WTF. but before all that i had to explain that Asha in the song was Asha Bhosle LOL! *facepalm*

good times, good times..

and now Nothing Really Matters by madonna

how odd that it should play this song. just last night i was reading this fantastic book i got from that glorious institution that is the National Library entitled "The Sound and the Fury: 40 Years of Classic Rock Journalism".
side note: my love affair with writing is "packed in"..i haven't written a piece propa in ages since i got to jc. all this sports rubbish just got in the way..bloody tragic

anyways, there was this piece by Glenn O'Brien that he did waaaay back in 1990. the interview was one of em journalist asks question, superstar answers question, and its printed just the way its said. a proper dialogue, no messing around. so halfway through the interview he randomly asks "So what sign are you?". Glenn figures that out himself after a bit of prompting..
M: What do i do for a living?
G: Uh, you sing and dance. You entertain people. OK..let's see..Leo
and then she asks HIM what sign he is. he explains that "A lot of writers are Pisces". and after that, I think, hey that qualifies me *smug grin*

and today i wiki-ed Pisces cos i got bored of doing lit essays. and in the Pisces(notable persons) list, we have(in order of my preference)

1. Albert Einstein (same birthday as me *grin*)
2. Kurt Cobain (i'm honoured)
3. George Harrison (a beatle! need i say more?)
4. Sir Richard Francis Burton (the dude who translated The Arabian Nights and um..the Kama Sutra)
5. Young Buck (from G-G-GEE UNIT! LOL! represent!)
6. Liza Minelli (Cabaret and New York, New York!)

note: NETTA! you see what happened to me after reading High Fidelity! list-making fetish!

in more wiki extracts concerning Pisceans:

In terms of geography, Pisces is linked with Portugal, Spain, Scandinavia, and Egypt.
-EGYPT!! *excited* Portugal and Spain i understand..but Scandinavia? all that comes to mind is Eurotrash..or more specifically, ABBA (aka the ultimate palindrome :P)

Physically, individuals born under the sign of Pisces supposedly tend to have small and dainty feet, heavy-lidded and liquid eyes, a short stature, and a broad physique.
- i have size 8 feet dammit. nothing "dainty" about that :P..but the rest quite accurate ah! i'm a believer! (or a sucker)

ok whatever i should get back to last minute homejoy
