Turning Saints Into The Sea

As Christmas nears, I'm finding myself finally getting into the spirit. The delay is probably due to the lack of relaxation after working a full-time schedule the past couple weeks at work, hardly having any time off to relax. The only pinch of the Christmas feeling that I've been having thus far in the season is the Christmas lights at night when I'm driving home from work. I love Christmas lights because I love colors. Coincidentally, a good electronic song will remind me of colors. Luckily for me, I stumbled upon a remix of a popular Killers song on one of their CD's and a euphoria of colors hit me on my drive home one night when I heard this song. It was a pleasant feeling and it had finally put me in a Christmas mood that I had been wanting for a while now. So enjoy the colors of Mr. Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Remix) by The Killers.

Revertigo

Just sitting here reminds me that
I'm not afraid of them for a minute.
Words can hurt, can cut like a knife,
But courage and respect can sew up the perforated skin.

I'll stand my ground, I'll make it sound.
Though others may turn their backs on me,
They'll always be reminded of my memories.
They'll feel remorse for what they could've had,
And what they've lost over something so miniscule.

I hold this truth to be self-sufficient,
That I can attest to what others may call lies.
The witnesses that I have bared will be
The end of my civilization as I know it.
(In other words, the death of me.)

Picking sides should only be confined to physical sports,
Not to some outlandish situation that I got pulled into.
I'm trying to be unbiased and middle-based,
Even if some are trying to bring about the downfall of my species.

As a wise man once said:
"If we're going down, we all go down together."
Well we're going down, knowing fully well of our eminent doom.
And now our children must suffer the same things that we have suffered,
The same castes, the same blood shed, the same power shifts.
History will once again be doomed to repeat itself.

It's Turbo Time!

'Tis the season! December is, by far, my favorite month of the year. Things just seem to be so happy all of the time. Even when, in the past, I was "depressed" or down, during December, as I look back on those moments, I was happy even then. Today was a productive day. I had class and a quiz (letting me leave early), then I went around the town for a little bit getting quite a bit of Christmas shopping done (at least what I think the most important shopping for me to get done was). Afterward, I came home and relaxed for a little bit and then went to putting the Christmas lights up and spent the rest of the day enjoying the fact that it is December. Today's song was chosen because I was watching Jingle All The Way (which is, by the way, a great movie). So enjoy: Turbo Man Theme Song by Brian Setzer.

(I chose the picture because the epic-ness of it matches the epic-ness of the song.)
