the dream i dreamt

last night i dreamt of this song. with lyrics so profound that it was quite moving. the melody flowing, the music just ... awesome. i dreamt that i actually wrote it down. but when i woke up this morning, there was no paper with writing on it. so i guess the perfect song will be locked into my unconcious for a bit longer. until then, well...i'll just plug away with trying to dig up inspirations from myself and around me.

yesterday, i had my first acupuncture session. i was half happy and half disappointed. i thought there would be more aura reading...or something. but there was no self revealing session (which i thought came with the territory). although, the reason why i went in the first place was to get my back to feel better. and it did. although right now, it's a bit tight. my sickness is getting better as well but not fully well. i'm just hoping that soon, i'll feel better.

i'm trying to think of great topics to write about. there's just so much that, like my last posting, my mind is just full of jumbled thoughts. its quite frustrating really. oh well.

an update of my guitar playing. so far i can play notes pretty well. a little slow still but i'm encouraged that i will get faster. i can play a C, A, F, E7, Dm, G7 (I think that's right) heheheh. oh well, i need to work on my scales so i can go faster. i'm still playing at the top of the guitar and not going through the whole arm but i'll get there soon enough. like my song writing....it's shaky but it's going. ya know?

oh saturday, i met up with noey and matt. she was taking a teachers exam at MC, Rockville. i pray that she did well.

anyhoo...i should get going. i'll write up some verses i wrote the other day on paper sometime later.



You and I we are the same
we love, we fear, we celebrate
we push, we pull, we hold back
emotions we keep from others' tracks

you and i we are the same
sometimes we runaway
from the very people we want to stay
however far we go, we end up coming back
back to where we left awhile ago

you and i, really we are the same
if someone drops you
you won't break
just take a stance
and stick with descisions you make
there is no need to turn your back
we heal, we cope, we forgive
beyond the capabilities we think we can give
we are stronger than we give ourselves credit for

you and i we are the same
we inhabit the same world
haunted by the past,
fearful of the future,
and dazed by the present
there is no use to hide your face
when we all know what you look like

you and i we are the same
we are born
we live
we leave this world
we are the same
