So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year, but...

I'll be there for you...
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you...
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you...
'Cause you're there for me too.

You're still in bed at ten, though work begins at eight,
You burned your breakfast, so far things are going great,
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these,
But she didn't tell you
when the world was brought down to your knees
that...

I'll be there for you...
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you...
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you...
'Cause you're there for me too.

No one could ever know me. No one could ever see me.
Seems your the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with.
Make it through all the mess with.
Someone I'll always laugh with.
Even at my worst, I'm best with....
you - yeah

It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year, but...

I'll be there for you...
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you...
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you...
'Cause you're there for me too...

the phantom planet

you gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
you gotta stay cool, you gotta stay calm, you gotta stay together..

just saw supernatural and smallville, two of my fav series. and since ive been studying about semiotics all day today. i understand why these programs work, why i love them so much. its because they have a hero in them, and all of us need heroes to look upto and to think that someone out there is taking care of us. we all need heroes to feel secure. ok maybe im sounding like a crazy fan! but i do see now why do i relate to those series? its because it represents a portal that i want to be part of and for 1 hour i can! so why not i say... be it smallville, supernatural, veronica mars, desperate housewives or even the OC. i think we get to live an hour in the life of someone else, and that is exciting as long as after the show is over you are back in your body.

maybe i just wish clark could send my jury to the phantom planet!! lol... maybe im just feeling tense abt that. Im trying to get 'this'. and i will too... i will get this right this time! today was one step in the right direction... i hope my Super-visor agrees.. otherwise im as good as being trapped in the phantom planet yet again!

its 2:00am and i guess id better sleep now... but what does my future hold for me? i guess theres only one way to find out!...

:)

vanity is power... bedek!

so is vanity power? an experiment by fared in the school cafeteria!... and dont bedek means dont busllshit!... hahahah...

girl from ipanema...

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah

When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh

(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see)
(She just doesn't see, she never sees me,...)

luv this song.. all the versions... from frank sinatra to bebel to lisa ono...

she..

she woke up to a sweet voice that awakened her. she shook the fever off, and ate some breakfast. She thought more about what she shud do, upon not being able to decide she went back to doing what she was supposed to do. She listened to music which was the only thing that made her feel good anymore. She listened to the music loudly as there was no one else home. She went to her destination and discovered a group of good people, yet she felt lost. did she find the answer she was looking for?

not today...

thursday 12:10pm

ever felt like you just belong. ever felt like no matter how hard you try u are not going to be accepted. they dont want me here. they never did. they dont want to help me, and i dont know what to do. life has a harsh way of showing you where you stand. why is it so hard to do a simple deed. why am i feeling this way. will this feeling ever go away..

and so

and so i was inspired
and tired and feverish.. and my eyes are watering,
and my body is cold..
yet i illustrate....
is it any wonder....... that i feel this way

is it any wonder...

I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
and so on

but now I think how I was wrong
And you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on, my side

Is it any wonder I'm tired
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right

Sometimes
It's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand

i wish i understood... one of those songs that give me a high.. u get lost in the music and the lyrics and the voice. you are up somewhere floating around blasting this song in my head, im flying...

twist in my sobriety

All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear

In the morning I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

need the sun...

Aries
Daily extended (by Astrology.com)
Today, when you feel restricted by the people who hold all the power, stand up to them and state your case. Connecting on an intellectual level with whomever is affecting your life will help release some tension and get you back on the sunny side of things. This is the start of a more positive, empowered phase of your life. And if you've been going through some dark times, get ready for the sun to start peeking through and warming up your world once again. -

hmm.. i sure do hope so... god knows what all ive been doing. working triple time and sneezing all the way thru. its been the tuffest 3 weeks ever.... ok i mean tuffest work wise! need something to go right....

entity paradigm....

Roz roz yeh fasley
Lamha lamha barhney lagey
Bekhudi keh who raastey
Aur hum usee par chal diye

Soch ke saari who batein
Hum usee pe roh diye
Aaj to yeh haal hai
Keh zindagi hum pai hansey
...
Kahan Hoon Mein
Kahan Hai Tu
Kia Hai Yeh Zindagi

Kahan Hoon Mein
Kahan Hai Tu
Kyoon Hoye Ajnabee

stand out from the crowd! HANIAH

Zamane ke aandaz badley gaye
Naya raag hey saaz badley gaye

khudi ko gulami se aazaad kar
Jawano ko piro ka ustaad kar

Jigar se wahi teer phir paar kar
Tamana ko sino mey bedaar kar

Jawano ko sozey jigar baksh de
Mera husn meri nazaar baksh de

Pila de mujhe woh mey ke pyaale
Ki aati nahi fasle gul roz roz

woh mey jissey roshan zameer-e-hayat
woh mey jissey hey masti-e-qayanat

Zamane key aandaz .......

spent the whole day making my first mixed media illustration for Junoon!!
